20:1
Οἱ οὐρανοὶ τῇ διοικήσει αὐτοῦ σαλευόμενοι ἐν εἰρήνῃ ὑποτάσσονται αὐτῷ
The heavens, moving at His direction, are subject to Him in peace.
諸天照祂的安排運行,在平安中順服祂。
20:2
ἡμέρα τε καὶ νὺξ τὸν τεταγμένον ὑπ αὐτοῦ δρόμον διανύουσιν, μηδὲν ἀλλήλοις ἐμποδίζοντα
Day and night accomplish the course ordained by Him, in no way hindering one another.
晝夜完成祂所定的軌道,彼此互不妨礙。
20:3
ἥλιός τε καὶ σελήνη, ἀστέρων τε χοροὶ κατὰ τὴν διαταγὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ δίχα πάσης παρεκβάσεως ἐξελίσσουσιν τοὺς ἐπιτεταγμένους αὐτοῖς ὁρισμούς
Sun and moon and the choirs of stars, according to His ordinance, roll on in concord without any deviation along the courses appointed to them.
日、月,並眾星的行列,都照祂的定規,和睦同心,毫不偏離地在所派定的軌道上運行。
20:4
γῆ κυοφοροῦσα κατὰ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἰδίοις καιροῖς τὴν πανπληθῆ ἀνθρώποις τε καὶ θηρσὶν καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς οὖσιν ἐπ αὐτῆς ζώοις ἀνατέλλει τροφήν, μὴ διχοστατοῦσα μηδὲ ἀλλοιοῦσά τι τῶν δεδογματισμένων ὑπ αὐτοῦ
The earth, bearing fruit according to His will at its proper seasons, brings forth abundant food for men and beasts and all the living creatures upon it, without dissension and without altering anything of what He has decreed.
大地照祂的旨意,在自己的時節懷胎結實,為人、為獸、為地上一切活物生出豐盛的食物,毫不違拗,也不更改祂所定規的一樣。
20:5
ἀβύσσων τε ἀνεξιχνίαστα καὶ νερτέρων ἀνεκδιήγητα κλίματα τοῖς αὐτοῖς συνέχεται προστάγμασιν
The untrackable depths of the abysses and the indescribable regions of the lower parts are held together by the same ordinances.
那測不透的深淵和那難以述說的地底各處,也都被同樣的命令所維繫。
20:6
τὸ κύτος τῆς ἀπείρου θαλάσσης κατὰ τὴν δημιουργίαν αὐτοῦ συσταθὲν εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς οὐ παρεκβαίνει τὰ περιτεθειμένα αὐτῇ κλεῖθρα, ἀλλὰ καθὼς διέταξεν αὐτῇ, οὕτως ποιεῖ
The hollow of the boundless sea, formed by His workmanship into its gatherings, does not pass beyond the barriers set about it, but does even as He commanded it.
那無邊大海的窪盆,由祂的創造之工聚成匯處,並不越過環繞它的界限,乃是照祂所吩咐的而行。
20:7
εἶπεν γάρ: Ἕως ὧδε ἥξεις, καὶ τὰ κύματά σου ἐν σοὶ συντριβήσεται
For He said: "Thus far shall you come, and your waves shall be broken within you."
因為祂說:「你只可到這裡,不可越過,你狂傲的波浪要止在這裡。」
20:8
ὠκεανὸς ἀπέραντος ἀνθρώποις καὶ οἱ μετ̓ αὐτὸν κόσμοι ταῖς αὐταῖς ταγαῖς τοῦ δεσπότου διευθύνονται
The ocean, impassable to men, and the worlds beyond it, are directed by the same ordinances of the Master.
那人無法橫渡的汪洋,以及在它以外的諸世界,都被主同樣的法度所引導。
20:9
καιροὶ ἐαρινοὶ καὶ θερινοὶ καὶ μετοπωρινοὶ καὶ χειμερινοὶ ἐν εἰρήνῃ μεταπαραδιδόασιν ἀλλήλοις
The seasons of spring and summer and autumn and winter give place to one another in peace.
春、夏、秋、冬的時令,在平安中彼此交替。
20:10
ἀνέμων σταθμοὶ κατὰ τὸν ἴδιον καιρὸν τὴν λειτουργίαν αὐτῶν ἀπροσκόπως ἐπιτελοῦσιν: ἀέναοί τε πηγαί, πρὸς ἀπόλαυσιν καὶ ὑγείαν δημιουργηθεῖσαι, δίχα ἐλλείψεως παρέχονται τοὺς πρὸς ζωῆς ἀνθρώποις μαζούς: τά τε ἐλάχιστα τῶν ζώων τὰς συνελεύσεις αὐτῶν ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ καὶ εἰρήνῃ ποιοῦνται
The stations of the winds fulfill their service in their own season without hindrance; the ever-flowing fountains, created for enjoyment and health, unfailingly offer their breasts to sustain the life of men; and the smallest of the living creatures hold their gatherings together in concord and peace.
諸風的方位各按其時無阻地盡其職分;那永流的泉源,為人的享用和健康而造,毫不缺乏地供給人賴以維生的乳汁;連最微小的活物,也都和睦平安地聚集相會。
20:11
ταῦτα πάντα μέγας δημιουργὸς καὶ δεσπότης τῶν ἁπάντων ἐν εἰρήνῃ καὶ ὁμονοίᾳ προσέταξεν εἶναι, εὐεργετῶν τὰ πάντα, ὑπερεκπερισσῶς δὲ ἡμᾶς τοὺς προσπεφευγότας τοῖς οἰκτιρμοῖς αὐτοῦ διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
All these things the great Creator and Master of all has ordained to be in peace and concord, doing good to all things, but in surpassing measure to us who have taken refuge in His compassions through our Lord Jesus Christ;
這一切,那位偉大的創造主、萬有的主宰,都定規要在平安和睦中存在,祂善待萬物,更是格外善待我們這些藉著我們的主耶穌基督、投靠祂慈憐的人;
20:12
δόξα καὶ μεγαλωσύνη εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. ἀμήν
to whom be glory and majesty unto the ages of ages. Amen.
願榮耀威嚴歸與祂,直到萬世萬代。阿們。
