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).
5-23:23
Ὡς ἀθλητής, μάνθανε τὰ περὶ τοῦ δράνοντος, τοῦ ἀνταγωνιστοῦ. (θηρία αἱ ἀντικείμεναι δυνάμεις ἐστίν, περὶ ὡν ηὔξατο ὁ προφήτης λέγων· μὴ παραδῷς τοῖς θηρίοις ψυχὴν ἐξομολογουμένην σοι. — θηρία εἰσὶν αἱ ἀντικείμεναι δυνάμεις, ὡν ειληφας,ὠ ἄνθρωπε, τὴν ἐξουσίαν ἐὰν θεῷ δουλεύσῃς, ἐπὶ ἀσπίδων καὶ βασιλίσκων ἐπιβαίνειν.]
As an athlete, learn the things concerning the dragon, your adversary. (The wild beasts are the opposing powers, concerning which the prophet prayed, saying: 'Do not deliver to the wild beasts a soul that confesses to you.'—The wild beasts are the opposing powers, over which you, O man, have received authority, if you serve God, to tread upon asps and basilisks.)
你既作勇士,就當學習關於那龍——你對敵——的事。(那些野獸就是那敵對的諸權勢,論到牠們,先知曾禱告說:「不要將那向你認罪的性命交給野獸。」——那些野獸就是那敵對的諸權勢;人哪,你若事奉神,就已得了權柄,可踐踏虺蛇與毒蛇。)
