Greek original · 16 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

56:1

Καὶ ἡμεῖς οὖν ἐντύχωμεν περὶ τῶν ἔν τινι παραπτώματι ὑπαρχόντων, ὅπως δοθῇ αὐτοῖς ἐπιείκεια καὶ ταπεινοφροσύνη εἰς τὸ εἶξαι αὐτοὺς μὴ ἡμῖν ἀλλὰ τῷ θελήματι τοῦ θεοῦ: οὕτως γὰρ ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἔγκαρπος καὶ τελεία ἡ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ τοὺς ἁγίους μετ̓ οἰκτιρμῶν μνεία

Let us therefore also intercede for those who are in any transgression, that meekness and humility may be given to them, so that they may yield not to us but to the will of God; for thus there will be for them a fruitful and perfect remembrance, with compassion, before God and the saints.

所以讓我們也為那些陷在任何過犯中的人代求，叫他們得著溫柔和謙卑，使他們不是順服我們，乃是順服神的旨意；如此，他們在神和眾聖徒面前蒙憐恤的記念，就必豐盛而完全。

56:2

ἀναλάβωμεν παιδείαν, ἐφ̓ ᾗ οὐδεὶς ὀφείλει ἀγανακτεῖν, ἀγαπητοί. ἡ νουθέτησις, ἣν ποιούμεθα εἰς ἀλλήλους, καλή ἐστιν καὶ ὑπεράγαν ὠφέλιμος: κολλᾷ γὰρ ἡμᾶς τῷ θελήματι τοῦ θεοῦ

Let us accept discipline, at which no one ought to be vexed, beloved. The admonition which we give to one another is good and exceedingly profitable; for it joins us to the will of God.

親愛的弟兄們，讓我們接受管教，沒有人應當為此惱怒。我們彼此所作的勸戒是美善的，且是極其有益的；因為這使我們與神的旨意聯合。

56:3

οὕτως γάρ φησιν ὁ ἅγιος λόγος: Παιδεύων ἐπαίδευσέν με ὁ κύριος, καὶ τῷ θανάτῳ οὐ παρέδωκέν με:

For thus says the holy word: "The Lord has indeed chastened me, but he has not given me over to death."

因為聖言這樣說：「主實在管教了我，卻沒有將我交於死亡。」

56:4

ὃν γὰρ ἀγαπᾷ κύριος παιδεύει, μαστιγοῖ δὲ πάντα υἱὸν ὃν παραδέχεται

"For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and he scourges every son whom he receives."

「因為主所愛的，祂必管教，又鞭打凡所收納的兒子。」

56:5

Παιδεύσει με γάρ, φησίν, δίκαιος ἐν ἐλέει καὶ ἐλέγξει με, ἔλαιον δὲ ἁμαρτωλῶν μὴ λιπανάτω τὴν κεφαλήν μου

"The righteous one shall chasten me in mercy and reprove me; but let not the oil of sinners anoint my head."

「義人要以慈愛管教我、責備我；但願惡人的油不抹我的頭。」

56:6

καὶ πάλιν λέγει: Μακάριος ἄνθρωπος, ὃν ἤλεγξεν ὁ κύριος: νουθέτημα δὲ παντοκράτορος μὴ ἀπαναίνου: αὐτὸς γὰρ ἀλγεῖν ποιεῖ, καὶ πάλιν ἀποκαθίστησιν:

And again it says: "Blessed is the man whom the Lord reproves; and do not refuse the admonition of the Almighty. For he causes pain, and again he restores;

又說：「神所責備的人是有福的；所以你不可輕看全能者的管教。因為祂打傷，又包紮；

56:7

ἔπαισεν, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἰάσαντο

he smites, and his hands heal.

祂擊傷，用手醫治。

56:8

ἑξάκις ἐξ ἀναγκῶν ἐξελεῖταί σε, ἐν δὲ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ οὐχ ἅψεταί σου κακόν

Six times he will deliver you from distresses, and in the seventh no evil shall touch you.

你六次遭難，祂必救你；就是七次，災禍也無法害你。

56:9

ἐν λιμῷ ῥύσεταί σε ἐκ θανάτου, ἐν πολέμῳ δὲ ἐκ χειρὸς σιδήρου λύσει σε:

In famine he will deliver you from death, and in war he will release you from the power of the sword;

在饑荒中，祂必救你脫離死亡；在爭戰中，祂必救你脫離刀劍的權勢；
