1:1

Domine omnipotens, Deus patrum nostrorum, Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, et seminis eorum justi,

O Lord Almighty, God of our fathers, of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and of their righteous seed;

主－全能者啊，我們列祖的神，就是亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各，並他們義裔的神；

1:2

qui fecisti cælum, et terram cum omni ornatu eorum,

who hast made heaven and earth with all their array;

你造了天地，並其中萬象；

1:3

qui ligasti mare verbo præcepti tui, qui conclusisti abyssum, et signasti eam terribili et laudabili nomine tuo :

who hast bound the sea by the word of thy command, who hast shut up the deep and sealed it with thy fearful and glorious name;

你用你命令的話約束了海，封閉了深淵，又用你那可畏可頌的名印了它；

1:4

quem omnia pavent, et tremunt a vultu virtutis tuæ, quia importabilis est magnificentia gloriæ tuæ,

before whom all things shrink and tremble at the presence of thy power, for the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne;

萬有都在你大能的面前驚惶戰兢，因為你榮耀的威嚴是承受不住的，

1:5

et insustentabilis ira comminationis tuæ super peccatores :

and the wrath of thy threatening against sinners is not to be endured;

你向罪人發出威嚇的忿怒，是無人能擋的；

1:6

immensa vero et investigabilis misericordia promissionis tuæ :

yet the mercy of thy promise is measureless and unsearchable;

然而你應許的憐憫卻是無量無邊、不可測度的；

1:7

quoniam tu es Dominus, altissimus, benignus, longanimis, et multum misericors, et pœnitens super malitias hominum. Tu Domine, secundum multitudinem bonitatis tuæ promisisti pœnitentiam, et remissionem iis, qui peccaverunt tibi, et multitudinem miserationum tuarum decrevisti pœnitentiam peccatoribus, in salutem.

for thou art the Lord most high, kind, long-suffering, and exceedingly merciful, and thou repentest over the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to the multitude of thy goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to those who have sinned against thee, and in the abundance of thy compassions hast appointed repentance for sinners, that they may be saved.

因為你是至高的主，是慈愛的、恆忍的、滿有憐憫的，並且為人的惡行轉意。主啊，你照你豐盛的良善，向那些得罪你的人應許了悔改與赦免；你又照你眾多的憐憫，為罪人定下了悔改，使他們得救。

1:8

Tu igitur Domine Deus justorum, non posuisti pœnitentiam justis, Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, iis qui tibi non peccaverunt : sed posuisti pœnitentiam propter me peccatorem :

Thou therefore, O Lord, God of the righteous, hast not appointed repentance for the righteous, for Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, who sinned not against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance for me, a sinner;

因此，主，義人的神啊，你沒有為那些沒有得罪你的義人，就是亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各，定下悔改；你卻為我這罪人定下了悔改；

1:9

quoniam peccavi super numerum arenæ maris : multiplicatæ sunt iniquitates meæ Domine, multiplicatæ sunt iniquitates meæ, et non sum dignus intueri et aspicere altitudinem cæli, præ multitudine iniquitatum mearum.

for I have sinned above the number of the sand of the sea. My iniquities are multiplied, O Lord, my iniquities are multiplied, and I am not worthy to look up and behold the height of heaven, because of the multitude of my iniquities.

因為我犯的罪比海沙更多。主啊，我的罪孽加增了，我的罪孽加增了；因我罪孽眾多，我不配舉目仰望天的高處。
