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.

Ἔξωσάν με οἱ μόχθοι μου. Τὰ μοχθηρὰ καὶ ταλαίπωρα ἐπιτηδεύματα

"My toils have driven me out." [That is:] wretched and miserable pursuits.

「我的勞苦將我驅逐。」即那些邪惡而困苦的行徑。

1:1218

「願我的血歸在那居住的迦勒底人身上。」

1:1219

Ἀντὶ τοῦ, αἴτιοί μοι τῆς σφαγῆς οἱ Χαλδαῖοι γεγόνασιν

Instead of [meaning]: the Chaldeans have become to me the cause of [my] slaughter.

意即:迦勒底人成了我遭殺戮的緣由。

1:1220

Ἐκδικήσω μου τὸ αἷμα ἀπὸ τῶν Χαλδαίων

"I will avenge my blood upon the Chaldeans."

1:1225

Καὶ καταβίβασον αὐτούς. Ἢ ὁ προφήτης τοῦτο ἐπεύχεται κατὰ τῶν δαιμόνων, ἢ καὶ Θεὸς τῇ ἐκδικήσει τοῦτο ποιεῖν προστάσσει κατὰ τῆς αἰσθητῆς τῆς νοητῆς Βαβυλῶνος

"And bring them down." Either the prophet prays this against the demons, or God also commands this to be done in his vengeance against both the sense-perceptible and the intelligible Babylon.

「求你使他們降下。」或是先知在此祈求攻擊眾鬼魔,或是神也在報應中吩咐如此行,以攻擊那可感覺的與那可理解的巴比倫[即歷史上的與靈意上的巴比倫]。

1:1226

Πῶς ἑάλω. Ἐκπλήττονται οἱ ἅγιοι ἐπὶ τῇ πτώσει τῆς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐρημώσει

1:1232

Καὶ πάλιν . ἀφεῖλεν ὁ Θεὸς πᾶν δάκρυον ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς

And again: "God has taken away every tear from the face of the earth."

又如經上再說:「神從地面擦去了一切眼淚。」

1:1233

Ἀνασωζόμενοι ἐκ γῆς. Οἱ τῶν γηΐνων, φησὶν, ἀποστάντες, ἀεὶ προκόπτετε εἰς ἀρετὴν, καὶ μὴ ἵστασθε, ἀλλὰ τρέχετε, ἵνα καταλάβητε

"Those being saved out of the land." [He means:] you who have departed from earthly things, he says, always advance in virtue, and do not stand still, but run, that you may lay hold [of the prize].

「從地上得救的人。」意即:你們這些已離棄地上之事的人哪,他說,要常在美德上長進,不可停滯,乃要奔跑,以致能得著[獎賞]。

1:1234

Οἱ μακρόθεν. Οἱ πάλαι τοῦ Θεοῦ μακρόθεν εἰδωλολάτραι

—but according to the [spiritual] sense, that they cried out, being driven into bacchic frenzy by the demons.

——但按靈意而言,是指他們被鬼魔驅使、如酒神狂歡般發出喊叫。

1:1243

Τάδε λέγει Κύριος. Ὁ Σατανᾶς καθ' ὅλης τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ τεμένη εἰδώλων ἱδρύσας

1:1259

Καὶ τὰς βάσεις. Δοχεῖον ἦν ὕδατος, διὰ τὸ πολυχώρητον θάλασσα καλούμενον

"And the bases." It was a receptacle for water, called "the sea" on account of its great capacity.

「以及那些盆座。」那是盛水的器皿,因其容量甚大而被稱為「海」。

1:1260

Καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς. Τοὺς ἐπιστάτας τῶν θυρωρῶν

"And the three." The overseers of the doorkeepers.

1:1264

Ἐν γῇ Ἡμάθ. Ἡμάθ ἡ νῦν καλουμένη Ἀντιόχεια·

1:1265

Δεβλαθὰ δὲ τὸ ταύτης προάστειον ἡ Δάφνη

And Deblatha is its suburb, [namely] Daphne.

而德伯拉他則是安提阿的近郊，即達芙妮。

1:1266

Ἔλαβεν Οὐλαιμαδάχαρ. Ἐπειδὴ δὲ οἱ αἰχμάλωτοι κάτω νεύουσιν ὑπὸ τῆς συμφορᾶς, ἔλαβε, φησὶ, τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, ἀντὶ τοῦ, ἀνώρθωσεν, ὕψωσεν, ἄνω βλέπειν παρεσκεύασεν

Evil-merodach took [his head]. Since captives bow their heads down on account of misfortune, 'he took,' it says, 'his head,' instead of 'he set upright, lifted up, and made him look upward.'

以未米羅達舉起〔其頭〕。因被擄者由於遭遇不幸而垂首向下，故經文說「他取了他的頭」，意即「使之直立、舉高、令其得以仰視」。

1:1267

Ἰδοὺ ὕψωσε κεφαλήν μου ἐπ' ἐχθρούς μου

Behold, he has lifted up my head over my enemies.

看哪，他已高舉我的頭，勝過我的仇敵。

1:1268

Τὸ, ἔλαβεν ἀντὶ τοῦ, ὕψωσεν, ὡς ἐν τῷ τέλει τῆς τετάρτης τῶν Βασιλειῶν φησιν

The word 'he took' [is used] in place of 'he lifted up,' as it says at the end of the Fourth Book of Kingdoms.

「取」一詞乃代替「舉起」而用，如《列王紀四卷》末尾所言。
