14:1
Ναί. ἀλλὰ ἴδωμεν, εἰ διαθήκη, ἣν ὤμοσεν τοῖς πατράσιν δοῦναι τῷ λαῷ, εἰ δέδωκεν. δέδωκεν: αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐγένοντο ἄξιοι λαβεῖν διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν
Yes. But let us see whether the covenant which He swore to the fathers that He would give to the people—whether He has given it. He gave it; but they were not worthy to receive it because of their sins.
是的。但讓我們來看,祂向列祖起誓要賜給這民的約──祂是否賜下了。祂賜下了;但他們因自己的罪,不配領受。
14:2
λέγει γὰρ προφήτης: Καὶ ἦν Μωϋσῆς νηστεύων ἐν ὄρει Σινᾶ, τοῦ λαβεῖν τὴν διαθήκην κυρίου πρὸς τὸν λαόν, ἡμέρας τεσσεράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσεράκοντα. καὶ ἔλαβεν Μωϋσῆς παρὰ κυρίου τὰς δύο πλάκας τὰς γεγραμμένας τῷ δακτύλῳ τῆς χειρὸς κυρίου ἐν πνεύματι: καὶ λαβὼν Μωϋσῆς κατέφερεν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν δοῦναι
For the prophet says: "And Moses was fasting on Mount Sinai, to receive the covenant of the Lord for the people, forty days and forty nights. And Moses received from the Lord the two tablets written by the finger of the hand of the Lord in the Spirit; and taking them Moses brought them down to give to the people."
因為先知說:「摩西在西乃山上禁食,要為百姓領受主的約,共四十晝夜。摩西從主領受了那兩塊版,就是主在靈裡親手指頭所寫的;摩西拿著它們下到百姓那裡,要交給他們。」
14:3
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωϋσῆν. Μωϋσῆ Μωϋσῆ, κατάβηθι τὸ τάχος, ὅτι λαός σου, ὃν ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου. ἠνόμησεν. καὶ συνῆκεν Μωϋσῆς, ὅτι ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς πάλιν χωνεύματα, καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν, καὶ συνετρίβησαν αἱ πλάκες τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου
And the Lord said to Moses: "Moses, Moses, go down quickly, for your people whom you led out of the land of Egypt have transgressed the law." And Moses understood that they had made for themselves molten images again, and he cast them out of his hands, and the tablets of the covenant of the Lord were broken.
主對摩西說:「摩西,摩西,你快下去,因為你的百姓,就是你從埃及地領出來的,已經敗壞了。」摩西明白他們又為自己鑄造了像,便把那版從手中摔出去,主之約的版就破碎了。
14:4
Μωϋσῆς μὲν ἔλαβεν, αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐγένοντο ἄξιοι. πῶς δὲ ἡμεῖς ἐλάβομεν, μάθετε. Μωϋσῆς θεράπων ὢν ἔλαβεν, αὐτὸς δὲ κύριος ἡμῖν ἔδωκεν εἰς λαὸν κληρονομίας, δἰ ἡμᾶς ὑπομείνας
Moses indeed received it, but they were not worthy. But learn how we received it. Moses, being a servant, received it; but the Lord Himself gave it to us as a people of inheritance, having endured for our sake.
摩西固然領受了,他們卻不配。但你們要學明我們是怎樣領受的。摩西作僕人領受了那約;主自己卻將它賜給我們作承受產業的子民,是為我們的緣故甘願受苦的。
14:5
ἐφανερώθη δέ. ἵνα κἀκεῖνοι τελειωθῶσιν τοῖς ἁμαρτήμασιν, καὶ ἡμεῖς διὰ τοῦ κληρονομοῦντος διαθήκην κυρίου Ἰησοῦ λάβωμεν, ὃς εἰς τοῦτο ἡτοιμάσθη, ἵνα αὐτὸς φανείς, τὰς ἤδη δεδαπανημένας ἡμῶν καρδίας τῷ θανάτῳ καὶ παραδεδομένας τῇ τῆς πλάνης ἀνομίᾳ λυτρωσάμενος ἐκ τοῦ σκότους, διάθηται ἐν ἡμῖν διαθήκην λόγῳ
And He was manifested in order that they too might be filled up in their sins, and that we, through the Lord Jesus who inherits the covenant, might receive it—He who was prepared for this, that He Himself, appearing, having redeemed from the darkness our hearts already spent in death and given over to the lawlessness of error, might establish a covenant in us by His word.
祂顯現出來,是為叫他們的罪也得滿盈,又為叫我們藉著那承受約的主耶穌得以領受──祂正是為此被豫備好的:祂自己顯現出來,將我們那已因死亡耗盡、又被交於迷惑之不法的心,從黑暗中救贖出來,藉著祂的話在我們裡面立定了約。
14:6
γέγραπται γάρ, πῶς αὐτῷ πατὴρ ἐντέλλεται, λυτρωσάμενον ἡμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ σκότους ἑτοιμάσαι ἑαυτῷ λαὸν ἅγιον
For it is written how the Father commands Him, having redeemed us from the darkness, to prepare for Himself a holy people.
因為經上記著,父怎樣吩咐祂,將我們從黑暗中救贖出來,為自己豫備一班聖潔的子民。
14:7
λέγει οὖν προφήτης: Ἐγὼ κύριος, θεός σου, ἐκάλεσά σε ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ κρατήσω τῆς χειρός σου καὶ ἐνισχύσω σε, καὶ ἔδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην γένους, εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν ἀνοῖξαι ὀφθαλμοὺς τυφλῶν καὶ ἐξαγαγεῖν ἐκ δεσμῶν πεπεδημένους καὶ ἐξ οἴκου φυλακῆς καθημένους ἐν σκότει. γινώσκομεν οὖν, πόθεν ἐλυτρώθημεν
The prophet, then, says: "I the Lord your God have called you in righteousness, and I will hold your hand and strengthen you; and I have given you for a covenant of the race, for a light of the nations, to open the eyes of the blind and to bring out from bonds those who are bound, and from the prison house those who sit in darkness." We know, then, from where we were redeemed.
先知說:「我耶和華你的神憑公義召你,我必攙扶你的手,加力給你,使你作眾民之約,作外邦人的光,開瞎子的眼,領被囚的出牢獄,領那坐在黑暗中的出監牢。」這樣,我們就知道我們是從何處被救贖出來的。
14:8
πάλιν προφήτης λέγει: Ἰδού, τέθεικά σε εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν, τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς, οὕτως λέγει κύριος λυτρωσάμενός σε θεός
Again the prophet says: "Behold, I have set you for a light of the nations, that you may be for salvation to the end of the earth; thus says the Lord, the God who redeemed you."
先知又說:「看哪,我立你作外邦人的光,叫你施行我的救恩,直到地極;那救贖你的神耶和華如此說。」
14:9
καὶ πάλιν προφήτης λέγει: Πνεῦμα κυρίου ἐπ ἐμέ, οὖ εἵνεκεν ἔχρισέν με εὐαγγελίσασθαι ταπεινοῖς χάριν, ἀπέσταλκέν με ἰάσασθαι τοὺς συντετριμμένους τὴν καρδίαν, κηρῦξαι αἰχμαλώτοις ἄφεσιν καὶ τυφλοῖς ἀνάβλεψιν, καλέσαι ἐνιαυτὸν κυρίου δεκτὸν καὶ ἡμέραν ἀνταποδόσεως, παρακαλέσαι πάντας τοὺς πενθοῦντας
And again the prophet says: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to preach good tidings of grace to the lowly; He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to proclaim an acceptable year of the Lord and a day of recompense, to comfort all who mourn."
先知又說:「主的靈在我身上,因為祂膏我傳福音給卑微的人,差遣我醫好傷心的人,宣告被擄的得釋放,瞎眼的得看見,宣告主悅納人的禧年和報應的日子,安慰一切悲哀的人。」
