First Epistle of Clement 17

Greek original · 6 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

17:1

Μιμηταὶ γενώμεθα κἀκείνων, οἵτινες ἐν δέρμασιν αἰγείοις καὶ μηλωταῖς περιεπάτησαν κηρύσσοντες τὴν ἔλευσιν τοῦ Χριστοῦ: λέγομεν δὲ Ἠλίαν καὶ Ἑλισαιέ, ἔτι δὲ καὶ Ἰεζεκιήλ, τοὺς προφήτας: πρὸς τούτοις καὶ τοὺς μεμαρτυρημένους

Let us also become imitators of those who went about in goatskins and sheepskins, preaching the coming of Christ: I mean Elijah and Elisha, and also Ezekiel, the prophets; and besides these, those also of whom witness has been borne.

我們也要效法那些身披山羊皮和綿羊皮、傳揚基督降臨的人：我所說的就是以利亞和以利沙，還有以西結，這些先知；此外還有那些蒙了見證的人。

17:2

ἐμαρτυρήθη μεγάλως Ἀβραὰμ καὶ φίλος προσηγορεύθη τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ λέγει ἀτενίζων εἰς τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ ταπεινοφρονῶν: Ἐγὼ δέ εἰμι γῆ καὶ σποδός

Abraham bore great witness and was called the friend of God, yet, gazing upon the glory of God, he says in humility: "But I am dust and ashes."

亞伯拉罕得了大見證，又被稱為神的朋友，然而他定睛仰望神的榮耀，存謙卑的心說：「我不過是塵土爐灰。」

17:3

ἔτι δὲ καὶ περὶ Ἰὼβ οὕτως γέγραπται: Ἰὼβ δὲ ἦν δίκαιος καὶ ἄμεμπτος, ἀληθινός, θεοσεβής, ἀπεχόμενος ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ

And further, concerning Job it is written thus: "Now Job was righteous and blameless, true, God-fearing, abstaining from all evil."

再者，論到約伯，經上這樣記著：「約伯為人公義純全，誠實正直，敬畏神，遠離一切的惡。」

17:4

ἀλλ̓ αὐτὸς ἑαυτοῦ κατηγορεῖ λέγων: Οὐδεὶς καθαρὸς ἀπὸ ῥύπου, οὐδ̓ ἂν μιᾶς ἡμέρας ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ

But he himself accuses himself, saying: "No one is clean from defilement, not even if his life were but a single day."

他卻自己控告自己說：「沒有一個人能脫離污穢得潔淨，即使他的生命只有一天。」

17:5

Μωυσῆς πιστὸς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐκλήθη, καὶ διὰ τῆς ὑπηρεσίας αὐτοῦ ἔκρινεν ὁ θεὸς Λἴγυπτον διὰ τῶν μαστίγων καὶ τῶν αἰκισμάτων αὐτῶν: ἀλλὰ κἀκεῖνος δοξασθεὶς μεγάλως οὐκ ἐμεγαλορημόνησεν, ἀλλ̓ εἶπεν ἐκ τῆς βάτου χρηματισμοῦ αὐτῷ διδομένου: Τίς εἰμι ἐγώ, ὅτι με πέμπεις; Ἐγὼ δέ εἰμι ἰσχνόφωνος καὶ βραδύγλωσσος

Moses was called faithful in all his house, and through his ministry God judged Egypt by the plagues and torments brought upon them; but he too, though greatly glorified, did not speak proud words, but said, when the oracle was given to him from the bush: "Who am I, that You send me? But I am feeble of voice and slow of tongue."

摩西在神的全家被稱為忠信，神藉他的服事，用災殃和刑罰審判了埃及；但他雖然大得榮耀，卻不說誇大的話，當神從荊棘中向他發出諭示時，他說：「我是甚麼人，竟蒙你差遣呢？我本是拙口笨舌的。」

17:6

καὶ πάλιν λέγει: Ἐγὼ δέ εἰμι ἀτμὶς ἀπὸ κύθρας

And again he says: "But I am vapor from a pot."

他又說：「我不過是鍋上冒出的水氣。」
