← ch. 38ch. 40 →
39:1
Ἅφρονες καὶ ἀσύνετοι καὶ μωροὶ καὶ ἀπαίδευτοι χλευάζουσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ μυκτηρίζουσιν, ἑαυτοὺς βουλόμενοι ἐπαίρεσθαι ταῖς διανοίαις αὐτῶν
Foolish and senseless and stupid and untaught men mock us and deride us, wishing to exalt themselves in their own imaginations.
那些愚妄、無知、糊塗、未受教的人嗤笑我們，譏誚我們，想要在自己的妄想中自高。
39:2
τί γὰρ δύναται θνητός; ἢ τίς ἰσχὺς γηγενοῦς
For what can a mortal do? Or what is the strength of one born of earth?
因為必死的人能作甚麼呢？那地上所生的人有甚麼能力呢？
39:3
γέγραπται γάρ: Οὐκ ἦν μορφὴ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου, ἀλλ̓ ἢ αὔραν καὶ φωνὴν ἤκουον:
For it is written: "There was no form before my eyes, but I heard a breath and a voice:"
因為經上記著：「在我眼前並無形像，我卻聽見有微聲和聲音說：」
39:4
Τί γάρ; μὴ καθαρὸς ἔσται βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου; ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἄμεμπτος ἀνήρ, εἰ κατὰ παίδων αὐτοῦ οὐ πιστεύει, κατὰ δὲ ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ σκολιόν τι ἐπενόησεν
"What then? Shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? Or shall a man be blameless in respect of his works, if He puts no trust in His servants, and charges His angels with something perverse?"
「怎麼？難道必死的人能在主面前算為潔淨麼？難道人能因自己的行為算為無瑕麼？神若不信任祂的僕役，反指祂的使者為悖謬，」
39:5
οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ: ἔα δέ, οἱ κατοικοῦντες οἰκίας πηλίνας, ἐξ ὧν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πηλοῦ ἐσμεν: ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς σητὸς τρόπον, καὶ ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν ἕως ἑσπέρας οὐκ ἔτι εἰσίν: παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἑαυτοῖς βοηθῆσαι ἀπώλοντο
"Yet the heaven is not pure in His sight; how much less those who dwell in houses of clay, of which we ourselves also are made of the same clay! He smote them as a moth, and from morning till evening they are no more: because they could not help themselves, they perished."
「諸天在祂眼前尚且不潔淨，何況那些住在土屋裡的人呢，連我們自己也是用同樣的塵土造成的！祂把他們擊滅，如同蛀蟲，從早到晚便不復存在：因他們不能自救，就滅亡了。」
39:6
ἐνεφύσησεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐτελεύτησαν παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν αὐτοὺς σοφίαν
"He breathed upon them, and they died, because they had no wisdom."
「祂向他們一吹氣，他們就死了，因為他們沒有智慧。」
39:7
ἐπικάλεσαι δέ, εἴ τίς σοι ὑπακούσεται,ἤ εἴ τινα ἁγίων ἀγγέλων ὄψῃ: καὶ γὰρ ἄφρονα ἀναιρεῖ ὀργή. πεπλανημένον δὲ θανατοῖ ζῆλος
"Call now, if anyone will answer you, or if you will see any of the holy angels; for wrath destroys the foolish, and envy slays the one who has gone astray."
「你呼求吧，看有誰回應你，或你能見哪一位聖天使麼；因為忿怒害死愚妄人，嫉妒殺死偏行迷路的人。」
39:8
ἐγὼ δὲ ἑώρακα ἄφρονας ῥίζας βάλλοντας, ἀλλ̓ εὐθέως ἐβρώθη αὐτῶν ἡ δίαιτα
"I myself have seen fools taking root, but suddenly their dwelling was consumed."
「我自己曾見愚妄人扎下根，但他的住處忽然被吞滅了。」
39:9
πόρρω γένοιντο οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ σωτηρίας: κολαβρισθείησαν ἐπὶ θύραις ἡσσόνων, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος:ἃ γὰρ ἐκείνοις ἡτοίμασται, δίκαιοι ἔδονται, αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐκ κακῶν οὐκ ἐξαίρετοι ἔσονται
"Far be their sons from safety; let them be crushed at the gates of the lowly, and there shall be none to deliver them; for what was prepared for those men, the righteous shall eat, but they themselves shall not be rescued from evils."
「願他們的兒子遠離平安；願他們在卑微人的門口被踐踏，無人搭救；因為那為那些人所豫備的，必歸義人享用，他們自己卻不能脫離災禍。」
