← ch. 20
21:1
Καλὸν οὖν ἐστὶν μαθόντα τὰ δικαιώματα τοῦ κυρίου, ὅσα γέγραπται, ἐν τούτοις περιπατεῖν: ὁ γὰρ ταῦτα ποιῶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ δοξασθήσεται: ὁ ἐκεῖνα ἐκλεγόμενος μετὰ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ συναπολεῖται. διὰ τοῦτο ἀνάστασις. διὰ τοῦτο ἀνταπόδομα
It is good, then, having learned the ordinances of the Lord, as many as are written, to walk in them. For he who does these things shall be glorified in the kingdom of God; he who chooses those other things shall perish together with his works. For this reason there is a resurrection, for this reason a recompense.
這樣，人既學明了主的命定，就是凡所記載的，便當行在其中，這是美好的。因為行這些事的人，必在神的國裡得榮耀；揀選那另一條路的人，必與他的行為一同滅亡。為此緣故有復活，為此緣故有報應。
21:2
ἐρωτῶ τοὺς ὑπερέχοντας, εἴ τινά μου γνώμης ἀγαθῆς λαμβάνετε συμβουλίαν: ἔχετε μεθ̓ ἑαυτῶν εἰς οὓς ἐργάσησθε τὸ καλόν: μὴ ἐλλείπητε
I beseech those who are in high positions: if you will receive any counsel of my good intention, you have among yourselves those toward whom you may do good; do not fail.
我懇求那些居高位的人：你們若肯接受我這出於善意的一點勸告──你們中間有可以向他們行善的人；不要疏忽。
21:3
ἐγγὺς ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ συναπολεῖται πάντα τῷ πονηρῷ: ἐγγὺς ὁ κύριος καὶ ὁ μισθὸς αὐτοῦ
Near is the day in which all things shall perish together with the evil one; near is the Lord and His reward.
那日子近了，到那日凡屬惡者的，都要一同滅亡；主近了，祂的賞賜也近了。
21:4
ἔτι καὶ ἔτι ἐρωτῶ ὑμᾶς: ἑαυτῶν γίνεσθε νομοθέται ἀγαθοί, ἑαυτῶν μένετε σύμβουλοι πιστοί, ἄρατε ἐξ ὑμῶν πᾶσαν ὑπόκρισιν
Again and again I beseech you: be good lawgivers to yourselves, remain faithful counselors to yourselves, take away from yourselves all hypocrisy.
我再三懇求你們：要作自己美好的立法者，要持守作自己忠信的謀士，要從你們中間除掉一切的虛偽。
21:5
ὁ δὲ θεός, ὁ τοῦ παντὸς κόσμου κυριεύων, δῴη ὑμῖν σοφίαν, σύνεσιν. ἐπιστήμην, γνῶσιν τῶν δικαιωμάτων αὐτοῦ, ὑπομονήν
And may God, who rules over the whole world, give you wisdom, understanding, knowledge, discernment of His ordinances, and endurance.
願那統管全世界的神，賜給你們智慧、聰明、學識、明白祂命定的知識，並忍耐。
21:6
γίνεσθε δὲ θεοδίδακτοι, ἐκζητοῦντες τί ζητεῖ κύριος ἀφ̓ ὑμῶν, καὶ ποιεῖτε ἵνα εὑρεθῆτε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως
Be taught of God, seeking out what the Lord seeks from you, and do it, that you may be found in the day of judgment.
你們要受神的教導，尋求主向你們所要的是甚麼，並且去行，好叫你們在審判的日子被尋見蒙悅納。
21:7
εἰ δὲ τίς ἐστιν ἀγαθοῦ μνεία, μνημονεύετέ μου μελετῶντες ταῦτα, ἵνα καὶ ἡ ἐπιθυμία καὶ ἡ ἀγρυπνία εἴς τι ἀγαθὸν χωρήσῃ. ἐρωτῶ ὑμᾶς, χάριν αἰτούμενος
And if there is any remembrance of good, remember me, meditating on these things, that both my desire and my watchfulness may issue in some good. I beseech you, asking it as a favor.
你們默想這些事的時候，若還記念甚麼善事，就求你們記念我，好叫我的渴望與儆醒都能歸於某種美善。我懇求你們，當作恩惠求你們。
21:8
ἕως ἔτι τὸ καλὸν σκεῦός ἐστιν μεθ̓ ὑμῶν, μὴ ἐλλείπητε μηδενὶ ἑαυτῶν, ἀλλὰ συνεχῶς ἐκζητεῖτε ταῦτα καὶ ἀναπληροῦτε πᾶσαν ἐντολήν: ἔστιν γὰρ ἄξια
While the good vessel is still with you, fail in nothing toward yourselves, but continually seek out these things and fulfill every commandment; for they are worthy.
趁著那美好的器皿還與你們同在，你們向自己不可有任何疏忽，倒要不斷尋求這些事，遵行每一條誡命；因為這些是配得的。
21:9
διὸ μᾶλλον ἐσπούδασα γράψαι ἀφ̓ ὧν ἠδυνήθην. εἰς τὸ εὐφρᾶναι ὑμᾶς. σώζεσθε, ἀγάπης τέκνα καὶ εἰρήνης. ὁ κύριος τῆς δόξης καὶ πάσης χάριτος μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν. Ἐπιστολὴ Βαρνάβα
Therefore I was the more eager to write of what I was able, to gladden you. Be saved, children of love and of peace. The Lord of glory and of all grace be with your spirit. The Epistle of Barnabas.
因此我格外切願就我所能的寫下，為叫你們歡喜。願你們得救，作愛與平安之子。願榮耀與一切恩典之主與你們的靈同在。《巴拿巴書》。
