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).

33:1

Τί οὖν ποιήσωμεν, ἀδελφοί; ἀργήσωμεν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγαθοποιΐας καὶ ἐγκαταλίπωμεν τὴν ἀγάπην; μηθαμῶς τοῦτο ἐάσαι ὁ δεσπότης ἐφ̓ ἡμῖν γε γενηθῆναι, ἀλλὰ σπεύσωμεν μετὰ ἐκτενείας καὶ προθυμίας πᾶς ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἐπιτελεῖν

What then shall we do, brothers? Shall we be idle in well-doing and forsake love? May the Master never permit this to happen among us; rather let us hasten with earnestness and zeal to accomplish every good work.

弟兄們，這樣，我們當怎樣行呢？難道我們要在行善上懶惰，撇棄愛心麼？願主絕不容這事在我們中間發生；倒要我們以殷勤和熱忱，趕緊去成就各樣的善工。

33:2

αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ δημιουργὸς καὶ δεσπότης τῶν ἁπάντων ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ ἀγαλλιᾶται

For the Creator and Master of all Himself rejoices in His works.

因為那創造主、萬有的主宰，自己也因祂的作為而歡欣。

33:3

τῷ γὰρ παμμεγεθεστάτῳ αὐτοῦ κράτει οὐρανοὺς ἐστήρισεν καὶ τῇ ἀκαταλήπτῳ αὐτοῦ συνέσει διεκόσμησεν αὐτούς: γῆν τε διεχώρισεν ἀπὸ τοῦ περιέχοντος αὐτὴν ὕδατος καὶ ἥδρασεν ἐπὶ τὸν ἀσφαλῆ τοῦ ἰδίου βουλήματος θεμέλιον: τά τε ἐν αὐτῇ ζῶα φοιτῶντα τῇ ἑαυτοῦ διατάξει ἐκέλευσεν εἶναι: θάλασσαν καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ ζῶα προετοιμάσας ἐνέκλεισεν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ δυνάμει

For by His exceedingly great might He established the heavens, and by His incomprehensible understanding He set them in order; He separated the earth from the water surrounding it, and fixed it upon the secure foundation of His own will; the living creatures that roam upon it He commanded to exist by His own ordinance; the sea and the living creatures in it, having prepared beforehand, He enclosed by His own power.

因為祂用祂無比的大能立定了諸天，用祂測不透的智慧安排了它們；祂使地與環繞它的水分開，把地安置在祂自己旨意的穩固根基上；那在地上遊行的活物，祂照自己的定規吩咐它們存在；海和其中的活物，祂預先豫備，用自己的能力把它們圈住。

33:4

ἐπὶ πᾶσι τὸ ἐξοχώτατον καὶ παμμέγεθες κατὰ διάνοιαν, ἄνθρωπον, ταῖς ἱεραῖς καὶ ἀμώμοις χερσὶν ἔπλασεν τῆς ἑαυτοῦ εἰκόνος χαρακτῆρα

Above all, with His holy and faultless hands He formed man, the most excellent and greatest of beings in respect of mind, the imprint of His own image.

在這一切之上，祂又用祂聖潔無瑕的手造了人，就是按心思而論最卓越、最偉大的，是祂自己形像的印記。

33:5

οὕτως γάρ φησιν ὁ θεός: Ποιήσωμεν ἄνθρωπον κατ̓ εἰκόνα καὶ καθ̓ ὁμοίωσιν ἡμετέραν: καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς

For thus says God: "Let us make man according to our image and according to our likeness; and God made man, male and female He made them."

因為神這樣說：「我們要照著我們的形像，按著我們的樣式造人；神就造了人，造男造女。」

33:6

ταῦτα οὖν πάντα τελειώσας ἐπῄνεσεν αὐτὰ καὶ ηὐλόγησεν καὶ εἶπεν: Αὐξάνεσθε καὶ πληθύνεσθε

Having finished all these things, then, He praised them and blessed them and said: "Be fruitful and multiply."

祂既完成了這一切，便稱許並賜福它們，說：「要生養眾多。」

33:7

ἴδωμεν, ὅτι ἐν ἔργοις ἀγαθοῖς πάντες ἐκοσμήθησαν οἱ δίκαιοι, καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος ἔργοις ἀγαθοῖς ἑαυτὸν κοσμήσας ἐχάρη

Let us see that all the righteous were adorned with good works, and the Lord Himself, having adorned Himself with good works, rejoiced.

讓我們看明，眾義人都是以善行為妝飾的，連主自己也以善行妝飾自己，並以此為樂。

33:8

ἔχοντες οὖν τοῦτον τὸν ὑπογραμμὸν ἀόκνως προσέλθωμεν τῷ θελήματι αὐτοῦ: ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ἰσχύος ἡμῶν ἐργασώμεθα ἔργον δικαιοσύνης

Having then this example, let us without hesitation come to His will; let us work the work of righteousness with all our strength.

我們既有這榜樣，就當毫不遲疑地順從祂的旨意；要盡我們全力作公義的工。
