20:4
Hoc scio a principio, ex quo positus est homo super terram,
Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,
你豈不知亙古以來， 自從人生在地，
20:5
quod laus impiorum brevis sit, et gaudium hypocritae ad instar puncti.
that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?

Si ascenderit usque ad caelum superbia ejus, et caput ejus nubes tetigerit,
Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
他的尊榮雖達到天上， 頭雖頂到雲中，

quasi sterquilinium in fine perdetur, et qui eum viderant, dicent : Ubi est ?

他終必滅亡，像自己的糞一樣； 素來見他的人要說：他在哪裏呢？
20:8
Velut somnium avolans non invenietur : transiet sicut visio nocturna.

20:9
Oculus qui eum viderat non videbit, neque ultra intuebitur eum locus suus.
The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.
親眼見過他的，必不再見他； 他的本處也再見不着他。
20:10
Filii ejus atterentur egestate, et manus illius reddent ei dolorem suum.
His children will seek the favor of the poor. His hands will give back his wealth.
他的兒女要求窮人的恩； 他的手要賠還不義之財。

Ossa ejus implebuntur vitiis adolescentiae ejus, et cum eo in pulvere dormient.
His bones are full of his youth, but youth will lie down with him in the dust.
他的骨頭雖然有青年之力， 卻要和他一同躺臥在塵土中。
20:12
Cum enim dulce fuerit in ore ejus malum, abscondet illud sub lingua sua.
“Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,
他口內雖以惡為甘甜， 藏在舌頭底下，

Parcet illi, et non derelinquet illud, et celabit in gutture suo.
though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth,
愛戀不捨，含在口中；

He will not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
流奶與蜜之河， 他不得再見。
20:18
Luet quae fecit omnia, nec tamen consumetur : juxta multitudinem adinventionum suarum, sic et sustinebit.
He will restore that for which he labored, and will not swallow it down. He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.
他勞碌得來的要賠還，不得享用 ； 不能照所得的財貨歡樂。

Quoniam confringens nudavit pauperes : domum rapuit, et non aedificavit eam.
For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.

Non remansit de cibo ejus, et propterea nihil permanebit de bonis ejus.
There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity will not endure.
其餘的沒有一樣他不吞滅， 所以他的福樂不能長久。
20:22
Cum satiatus fuerit, arctabitur : aestuabit, et omnis dolor irruet super eum.
In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.
他在滿足有餘的時候，必到狹窄的地步； 凡受苦楚的人都必加手在他身上。
20:23
Utinam impleatur venter ejus, ut emittat in eum iram furoris sui, et pluat super illum bellum suum.
When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
他正要充滿肚腹的時候， 上帝必將猛烈的忿怒降在他身上； 正在他吃飯的時候， 要將這忿怒像雨降在他身上。
20:24
Fugiet arma ferrea, et irruet in arcum aereum.
He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through.
他要躲避鐵器； 銅弓的箭要將他射透。
20:25
Eductus, et egrediens de vagina sua, et fulgurans in amaritudine sua : vadent et venient super eum horribiles.
He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.
他把箭一抽，就從他身上出來； 發光的箭頭從他膽中出來， 有驚惶臨在他身上。
20:26
Omnes tenebrae absconditae sunt in occultis ejus ; devorabit eum ignis qui non succenditur : affligetur relictus in tabernaculo suo.
All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire will devour him. It will consume that which is left in his tent.
