First Epistle of Clement 46

Greek original · 9 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).

46:1

Τοιούτοις οὖν ὑποδείγμασιν κολληθῆναι καὶ ἡμᾶς δεῖ, ἀδελφοί

To such examples, then, we also must cleave, brothers.

弟兄們，所以我們也必須持守這樣的榜樣。

46:2

γέγραπται γάρ: Κολλᾶσθε τοῖς ἁγίοις, ὅτι οἱ κολλώμενοι αὐτοῖς ἁγιασθήσονται

For it is written: "Cleave to the holy, for those who cleave to them shall be made holy."

因為經上記著：「要與聖潔的人聯合，因為那與他們聯合的，必成為聖潔。」

46:3

καὶ πάλιν ἐν ἑτέρῳ τόπῳ λέγει: Μετὰ ἀνδρὸς ἀθῷον ἀθῷος ἔσῃ καὶ μετὰ ἐκλεκτοῦ ἐκλεκτὸς ἔσῃ. καὶ μετὰ στρεβλοῦ διαστρέψεις

And again in another place it says: "With an innocent man you shall be innocent, and with an elect man you shall be elect, and with a perverse man you shall deal perversely."

又在別處說：「你以純全的人待人，自己也必純全；你以蒙揀選的人待人，自己也必蒙揀選；你以乖僻的人待人，自己也必行事乖僻。」

46:4

κολληθῶμεν οὖν τοῖς ἀθῴοις καὶ δικαίοις: εἰσὶν δὲ οὗτοι ἐκλεκτοὶ τοῦ θεοῦ

Let us therefore cleave to the innocent and the righteous; for these are the elect of God.

所以我們要與那純全公義的人聯合；因為這些人乃是神的選民。

46:5

ἱνατί ἔρεις καὶ θυμοὶ καὶ διχοστασίαι καὶ σχίσματα πόλεμός τε ἐν ὑμῖν

Why are there strifes and angers and dissensions and schisms and war among you?

為甚麼在你們中間有爭競、忿怒、紛爭、分裂和爭戰呢？

46:6

ἢ οὐχὶ ἕνα θεὸν ἔχομεν καὶ ἔνα Χριστὸν καὶ ἓν πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος τὸ ἐκχυθὲν ἐφ̓ ἡμᾶς; καὶ μία κλῆσις ἐν Χριστῷ

Do we not have one God and one Christ and one Spirit of grace poured out upon us? And is there not one calling in Christ?

我們豈不是只有一位神、一位基督、一位施恩的靈澆灌在我們身上嗎？我們在基督裡的呼召豈不是只有一個嗎？

46:7

ἱνατί διέλκομεν καὶ διασπῶμεν τὰ μέλη τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ στασιάζομεν πρὸς τὸ σῶμα τὸ ἴδιον, καὶ εἰς τοσαύτην ἀπόνοιαν ἐρχόμεθα, ὥστε ἐπιλαθέσθαι ἡμᾶς, ὅτι μέλη ἐσμὲν ἀλλήλων; μνήσθητε τῶν λόγων τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ

Why do we tear and pull apart the members of Christ, and rise up in faction against our own body, and reach such madness that we forget we are members of one another? Remember the words of the Lord Jesus.

我們為何要撕裂並肢解基督的肢體，與自己的身體相爭結黨，竟陷入這樣的瘋狂，以致忘記我們乃是彼此互為肢體呢？要記念主耶穌的話。

46:8

εἶπεν γάρ: Οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ: καλὸν ἦν αὐτῷ, εἰ οὐκ ἐγεννήθη, ἦ ἕνα τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν μου σκανδαλίσαι κρεῖττον ἢν αὐτῷ περιτεθῆναι μύλον καὶ καταπον τισθῆναι εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, ἢ ἕνα τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν μου διαστρέψαι

For he said: "Woe to that man; it would have been good for him if he had not been born, rather than that he should cause one of my elect to stumble. It would be better for him that a millstone be hung on him and he be drowned in the sea, than that he should pervert one of my elect."

因為祂說：「那人有禍了！他若不出生倒好，總比叫我一個選民跌倒強。倒不如把磨石掛在他身上，沉在海裡，比叫我一個選民走差路還好。」

46:9

τὸ σχίσμα ὑμῶν πολλοὺς διέστρεψεν, πολλοὺς εἰς ἀθυμίαν ἔβαλεν, πολλοὺς: εἰς δισταγμόν, τοὺς πάντας ἡμᾶς εἰς λύπην: καὶ ἐπίμονος ἀμῶν ἐστιν ἡ στάσις

Your schism has perverted many, has cast many into discouragement, many into doubt, and all of us into grief; and your sedition still persists.

你們的分裂使許多人走差路，使許多人灰心，使許多人疑惑，使我們眾人憂愁；而你們的紛爭至今仍未止息。
