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).
1:1973
μηδενὸς δὲ τούτων ὄντος οὐκ οἶμαι καλῶς ἔχειν τὴν τοσαύτην τοῦ τύφου νόσον περιιδεῖν ἀθεράπευτον
Since none of these things is the case, I do not think it right to allow so great a disease of arrogance to remain untreated.
既然這些條件一個也不成立,我認為不應對如此嚴重的自負之病坐視不理,任其得不到醫治。
1:1974
Θεραπεία δέ ἐστι τὸ ἐπικλῖναι τὴν ὑπερηφανίαν καὶ διαστεῖλαι τὸν διάκενον ὄγκον, μικρὸν διαπνευσθέντος τοῦ κατὰ τὸν τῦφον φυσήμα-τος·
The remedy is to humble his arrogance and to disperse his empty swelling, once the inflation of his conceit has been let out a little.
而醫治之法,就是使其驕傲屈服、消除那虛浮的腫脹,讓那自負所致的鼓脹稍稍洩去。
1:1975
ὅπως δ' ἂν γένοιτο τοῦτο, Θεῷ μελήσει
But how this is to come about will be God's concern.
至於此事將如何成就,就交託給神去關切了。
