12:1.1
Φοβήθητι, φησί, τὸν κύριον καὶ φύλασσε τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ. φυλάσσων οὖν τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ θεοῦ ἔσῃ δυνατὸς ἐν πάσῃ πράξει, καὶ ἡ πρᾶξίς σου ἀσύγκριτος ἔσται. φοβούμενος γὰρ τὸν κύριον πάντα καλῶς ἐργάσῃ: οὗτος δέ ἐστιν ὁ φόβος, ὃν δεῖ σε φοβηθῆναι, καὶ σωθῆναι
Fear the Lord, he said, and keep his commandments. Keeping the commandments of God, then, you shall be powerful in every deed, and your deed shall be beyond compare; for fearing the Lord you shall do all things well. This is the fear which you must fear, and so be saved.
他說：「你要敬畏主，遵守他的誡命。所以你既遵守神的誡命，就必在凡所行的事上大有能力，你的作為也必無與倫比；因為你敬畏主，凡事就都行得美好。這就是你當有的敬畏，藉此得救。」
12:1.2
τὸν δὲ διάβολον μὴ φοβηθῇς: φοβούμενος γὰρ τὸν κύριον κατακυριεύσεις τοῦ διαβόλου, ὅτι δύναμις ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν. ἐν ᾧ δὲ δύναμις οὐκ ἔστιν, οὐδὲ φόβος: ἐν ᾧ δὲ δύναμις ἡ ἔνδοξος, καὶ φόβος ἐν αὐτῷ. πᾶς γὰρ ὁ δύναμιν ἔχων φόβον ἔχει: ὁ δὲ μὴ ἔχων δύναμιν ὑπὸ πάντων καταφρονεῖται
But do not fear the devil; for fearing the Lord you shall have dominion over the devil, because there is no power in him. And in the one in whom there is no power there is no fear either; but in the one in whom is the glorious power, in him there is also fear. For everyone who has power has fear; but the one who has no power is despised by all.
「但不要懼怕魔鬼；因為你敬畏主，就必勝過魔鬼，因為他裡面沒有能力。在那毫無能力的，也就沒有可懼怕的；但在那有榮耀能力的，他裡面就有可懼怕的。因為凡有能力的就有可懼怕之處；那沒有能力的卻被眾人藐視。」
12:1.3
φοβήθητι δὲ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ διαβόλου, ὅτι πονηρά ἐστι. φοβούμενος οὖν τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐργάσῃ αὐτά, ἀλλ̓ ἀφέξῃ ἀπ̓ αὐτῶν
But fear the works of the devil, because they are wicked. So fearing the Lord you shall not do them, but shall keep away from them.
「但你要懼怕魔鬼的作為，因為那些是邪惡的。所以你敬畏主，就不會去行那些，反倒要遠離它們。」
12:1.4
δισσοὶ οὖν εἰσιν οἱ φόβοι: ἐὰν γὰρ θέλῃς τὸ πονηρὸν ἐργάσασθαι, φοβοῦ τὸν κύριον, καὶ οὐκ ἐργάσῃ αὐτό: ἐὰν δὲ θέλῃς πάλιν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐργάσασθαι, φοβοῦ τὸν κύριον, καὶ ἐργάσῃ αὐτό. ὥστε ὁ φόβος τοῦ κυρίου ἰσχυρός ἐστι καὶ μέγας καὶ ἔνδοξος. φοβήθητι οὖν τὸν κύριον, καὶ ζήσῃ αὐτῷ: καὶ ὅσοι ἂν φοβηθῶσιν αὐτὸν καὶ τηρήσωσι τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, ζήσονται τῷ θεῷ
There are, then, two kinds of fear: for if you wish to do evil, fear the Lord, and you will not do it; and again, if you wish to do good, fear the Lord, and you will do it. So the fear of the Lord is strong and great and glorious. Fear the Lord, then, and you shall live to him; and as many as fear him and keep his commandments shall live to God.
「所以敬畏有兩種：你若想行惡，要敬畏主，就不會去行；再者，你若想行善，要敬畏主，就必去行。所以對主的敬畏是剛強、偉大而榮耀的。所以你要敬畏主，就必向他活著；凡敬畏他、遵守他誡命的人，都必向神活著。」
12:1.5
Διατί, φημί, κύριε, εἶπας περὶ τῶν τηρούντων τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ: Ζήσονται τῷ θεῷ; Ὅτι, φησίν, πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις φοβεῖται τὸν κύριον τὰς δὲ ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ οὐ φυλάσσει. τῶν οὖν φοβουμένων αὐτὸν καὶ φυλασσόντων τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, ἐκείνων ἡ ζωή ἐστι παρὰ τῷ θεῷ: τῶν δὲ μὴ φυλασσόντων τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ζωὴ ἐν αὐτῷ
Why, I said, lord, did you say concerning those who keep his commandments, They shall live to God? Because, he said, all creation fears the Lord, but does not keep his commandments. To those, then, who fear him and keep his commandments, to them belongs life with God; but to those who do not keep his commandments, neither is there life in him.
我說：「主啊，你為何論到那些遵守他誡命的人說『他們必向神活著』呢？」他說：「因為一切受造之物都敬畏主，卻不遵守他的誡命。所以那些敬畏他、又遵守他誡命的人，他們才有與神同在的生命；至於那些不遵守他誡命的人，他們裡面就沒有生命。」
