11:1
μετ’ ὀλίγον δὲ παντελῶς χρονίσκον Λυσίας ἐπίτροπος τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ συγγενὴς καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων λίαν βαρέως φέρων ἐπὶ τοῖς γεγονόσι
Now after a very little time Lysias, the king’s guardian and kinsman and chancellor, being sore displeased for the things that had come to pass,
過了不多時候，王的監護人、又是王親、總理政務的呂西亞，因所發生的事極其惱怒，
11:2
συναθροίσας περὶ τὰς ὀκτὼ μυριάδας καὶ τὴν ἵππον ἅπασαν παρεγίνετο ἐπὶ τοὺς Ιουδαίους λογιζόμενος τὴν μὲν πόλιν Ἕλλησιν οἰκητήριον ποιήσειν
collected about fourscore thousand footmen and all his horsemen and came against the Jews, thinking to make the city a place for Greeks to dwell in,
便聚集了約八萬人連同全部馬隊，前來攻打猶大人，打算把這城變為希臘人的住處，
11:3
τὸ δὲ ἱερὸν ἀργυρολόγητον καθὼς τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν τεμένη πρατὴν δὲ κατὰ ἔτος τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην ποιήσειν
and to levy tribute on the temple, as on the other sacred places of the nations, and to put up the high priesthood to sale every year;
又要像對待別的外邦廟宇一樣，向聖殿勒索銀錢，並把大祭司之職定為每年買賣之物。
11:4
οὐδαμῶς ἐπιλογιζόμενος τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ κράτος πεφρενωμένος δὲ ταῖς μυριάσιν τῶν πεζῶν καὶ ταῖς χιλιάσιν τῶν ἱππέων καὶ τοῖς ἐλέφασιν τοῖς ὀγδοήκοντα
holding in no account the might of God, but puffed up with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.
他全然不顧念神的權能，只仗著他那數萬步兵、數千騎兵和八十頭大象,自鳴得意。
11:5
εἰσελθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν Ιουδαίαν καὶ συνεγγίσας Βαιθσουρα ὄντι μὲν ἐρυμνῷ χωρίῳ Ιεροσολύμων δὲ ἀπέχοντι ὡσεὶ σταδίους πέντε τοῦτο ἔθλιβεν
And coming into Judea and drawing near to Bethsuron, which was a strong place and distant from Jerusalem about five leagues, he pressed it hard.
他進入猶大地，逼近伯夙——那是一座堅固的要塞，距耶路撒冷約五斯塔狄翁——就圍攻這地方。
11:6
ὡς δὲ μετέλαβον οἱ περὶ τὸν Μακκαβαῖον πολιορκοῦντα αὐτὸν τὰ ὀχυρώματα μετὰ ὀδυρμῶν καὶ δακρύων ἱκέτευον σὺν τοῖς ὄχλοις τὸν κύριον ἀγαθὸν ἄγγελον ἀποστεῖλαι πρὸς σωτηρίαν τῷ Ισραηλ
But when Maccabaeus and his men learned that he was besieging the strongholds, they and all the people with lamentations and tears made supplication to the Lord to send a good angel to save Israel.
馬加比和跟隨他的人得知呂西亞圍攻堡壘，便與眾人一同哀哭流淚,懇求主差遣良善的天使來拯救以色列。
11:7
αὐτὸς δὲ πρῶτος ὁ Μακκαβαῖος ἀναλαβὼν τὰ ὅπλα προετρέψατο τοὺς ἄλλους ἅμα αὐτῷ διακινδυνεύοντας ἐπιβοηθεῖν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν ὁμοῦ δὲ καὶ προθύμως ἐξώρμησαν
And Maccabaeus himself took up arms first, and exhorted the others to jeopard themselves together with him and succour their kindred; and they sallied forth with him right willingly.
馬加比自己率先拿起武器，激勵眾人與他一同冒險前去援助弟兄；他們便一同奮勇出發。
11:8
αὐτόθι δὲ πρὸς τοῖς Ιεροσολύμοις ὄντων ἐφάνη προηγούμενος αὐτῶν ἔφιππος ἐν λευκῇ ἐσθῆτι πανοπλίαν χρυσῆν κραδαίνων
And as they were there, close to Jerusalem, there appeared at their head one on horseback in white apparel, brandishing weapons of gold.
當他們還在耶路撒冷附近時，有一位身披白衣、揮舞金甲、騎著馬的，顯現出來在他們前頭引路。
11:9
ὁμοῦ δὲ πάντες εὐλόγησαν τὸν ἐλεήμονα θεὸν καὶ ἐπερρώσθησαν ταῖς ψυχαῖς οὐ μόνον ἀνθρώπους θῆρας δὲ τοὺς ἀγριωτάτους καὶ σιδηρᾶ τείχη τιτρώσκειν ὄντες ἕτοιμοι
And they all together praised the merciful God, and were yet more strengthened in heart: being ready to assail not men only but the wildest beasts, and walls of iron,
於是眾人一同稱頌那滿有憐憫的神，心裡得了力量，預備好不單要刺殺人，連最兇猛的野獸和鐵牆也能攻破。
11:10
προῆγον ἐν διασκευῇ τὸν ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ σύμμαχον ἔχοντες ἐλεήσαντος αὐτοὺς τοῦ κυρίου
they advanced in array, having him that is in heaven to fight on their side, for the Lord had mercy on them.
他們整裝前進，有那從天而來的盟友相助，因主憐憫了他們。
11:11
λεοντηδὸν δὲ ἐντινάξαντες εἰς τοὺς πολεμίους κατέστρωσαν αὐτῶν χιλίους πρὸς τοῖς μυρίοις ἱππεῖς δὲ ἑξακοσίους πρὸς τοῖς χιλίοις τοὺς δὲ πάντας ἠνάγκασαν φεύγειν
And hurling themselves like lions upon the enemy, they killed of them eleven thousand footmen and sixteen hundred horsemen, and forced all the rest to flee.
他們像獅子般撲向仇敵，殺了他們一萬一千步兵和一千六百騎兵，並逼使眾人逃竄。
11:12
οἱ πλείονες δὲ αὐτῶν τραυματίαι γυμνοὶ διεσώθησαν καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Λυσίας αἰσχρῶς φεύγων διεσώθη
But the more part of them escaped wounded and naked; and Lysias also himself escaped by shameful flight.
他們大多數人帶傷赤身逃命，連呂西亞自己也羞愧地逃命得脫。
11:13
οὐκ ἄνους δὲ ὑπάρχων πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ἀντιβάλλων τὸ γεγονὸς περὶ αὐτὸν ἐλάττωμα καὶ συννοήσας ἀνικήτους εἶναι τοὺς Εβραίους τοῦ δυναμένου θεοῦ συμμαχοῦντος αὐτοῖς
But as he was a man not void of understanding, weighing with himself the defeat which had befallen him, and considering that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because the Almighty God fought on their side, he sent again to them,
呂西亞並非愚昧之人，他默想自己所遭的失敗，醒悟到希伯來人因有大能的神作盟友，便是不可戰勝的，
11:14
προσαποστείλας ἔπεισεν συλλύεσθαι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς δικαίοις καὶ διότι καὶ τὸν βασιλέα πείσει φίλον αὐτοῖς ἀναγκάζων γενέσθαι
and persuaded them to come to terms on condition that all their rights were acknowledged, and promised that he would also persuade the king to become their friend.
便差人去說服猶大人，以一切公道的條件講和，並應許說服王使他成為他們的朋友。
11:15
ἐπένευσεν δὲ ὁ Μακκαβαῖος ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ὁ Λυσίας παρεκάλει τοῦ συμφέροντος φροντίζων ὅσα γὰρ ὁ Μακκαβαῖος ἐπέδωκεν τῷ Λυσίᾳ διὰ γραπτῶν περὶ τῶν Ιουδαίων συνεχώρησεν ὁ βασιλεύς
And Maccabaeus gave consent upon all the conditions which Lysias proposed to him, being careful of the common good; for whatever requests Maccabaeus delivered in writing to Lysias concerning the Jews the king allowed.
馬加比為顧全大局，便應允了呂西亞所求的一切；凡馬加比就猶大人的事以書面交給呂西亞的，王都應允了。
11:16
ἦσαν γὰρ αἱ γεγραμμέναι τοῖς Ιουδαίοις ἐπιστολαὶ παρὰ μὲν Λυσίου περιέχουσαι τὸν τρόπον τοῦτον Λυσίας τῷ πλήθει τῶν Ιουδαίων χαίρειν
For the letters written to the Jews from Lysias were to this effect: Lysias to the people of the Jews, greeting.
猶大人所收到的信件，呂西亞寫的內容如下：「呂西亞向猶大眾人問安。
11:17
Ιωαννης καὶ Αβεσσαλωμ οἱ πεμφθέντες παρ’ ὑμῶν ἐπιδόντες τὸν ὑπογεγραμμένον χρηματισμὸν ἠξίουν περὶ τῶν δῑ αὐτοῦ σημαινομένων
John and Absalom, who were sent from you, having delivered the petition written below, made request concerning the things signified therein.
你們所差來的約翰和押沙龍，已遞交了下列的公文,就其中所提之事提出請求。
11:18
ὅσα μὲν οὖν ἔδει καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ προσενεχθῆναι διεσάφησα ἃ δὲ ἦν ἐνδεχόμενα συνεχώρησεν
What things soever therefore had need to be brought before the king I declared to him, and what things were possible he allowed.
凡須呈報給王的，我已陳明；可允的，他都已應允。
11:19
ἐὰν μὲν οὖν συντηρήσητε τὴν εἰς τὰ πράγματα εὔνοιαν καὶ εἰς τὸ λοιπὸν πειράσομαι παραίτιος ἀγαθῶν γενέσθαι
If then you⌃ will preserve your good will toward the state, henceforward also will I endeavor to contribute to your good.
所以你們若保持對政務的善意，我也要努力在將來作你們得益處的中介。
11:20
ὑπὲρ δὲ τούτων καὶ τῶν κατὰ μέρος ἐντέταλμαι τούτοις τε καὶ τοῖς παρ’ ἐμοῦ διαλεχθῆναι ὑμῖν
And on this behalf I have given order in detail, both to these men and to those that are sent from me, to confer with you.
關於這些事和各項細節，我已吩咐這些人以及我所差派的人與你們詳談。
11:21
ἔρρωσθε ἔτους ἑκατοστοῦ τεσσαρακοστοῦ ὀγδόου Διὸς Κορινθίου τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι
Fare you⌃ well. Written in the hundred forty and eighth year, on the four and twentieth day of the month Dioscorinthius.
願你們安康。第一百四十八年，科林斯的宙斯月二十四日。」
11:22
ἡ δὲ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπιστολὴ περιεῖχεν οὕτως βασιλεὺς Ἀντίοχος τῷ ἀδελφῷ Λυσίᾳ χαίρειν
And the king’s letter was in these words: King Antiochus to his brother Lysias, greeting.
王的信內容如下：「安提阿古王向兄弟呂西亞問安。
11:23
τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν εἰς θεοὺς μεταστάντος βουλόμενοι τοὺς ἐκ τῆς βασιλείας ἀταράχους ὄντας γενέσθαι πρὸς τὴν τῶν ἰδίων ἐπιμέλειαν
Seeing that our father passed to the gods having the wish that the subjects of his kingdom should be undisturbed and give themselves to the care of their own affairs,
我父既已歸於眾神，我們願國中之人安然無擾，得以照管自己的事務。
11:24
ἀκηκοότες τοὺς Ιουδαίους μὴ συνευδοκοῦντας τῇ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐπὶ τὰ Ἑλληνικὰ μεταθέσει ἀλλὰ τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἀγωγὴν αἱρετίζοντας ἀξιοῦντας συγχωρηθῆναι αὐτοῖς τὰ νόμιμα
we, having heard that the Jews do not consent to our father’s purpose to turn them to the customs of the Greeks, but choose rather their own manner of living, and make request that the customs of their law be allowed to them,—
我們既聽說猶大人不贊同我父改從希臘風俗，反倒寧願保持自己的生活方式，請求容他們遵行自己的律法，
11:25
αἱρούμενοι οὖν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔθνος ἐκτὸς ταραχῆς εἶναι κρίνομεν τό τε ἱερὸν ἀποκατασταθῆναι αὐτοῖς καὶ πολιτεύεσθαι κατὰ τὰ ἐπὶ τῶν προγόνων αὐτῶν ἔθη
choosing therefore that this nation also should be free from disturbance, we determine that their temple be restored to them, and that they live according to the customs that were in the days of their ancestors.
我們也願這民族免於擾亂，便決定把聖殿歸還他們，準他們照自己列祖的習俗行事為人。
11:26
εὖ οὖν ποιήσεις διαπεμψάμενος πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ δοὺς δεξιάς ὅπως εἰδότες τὴν ἡμετέραν προαίρεσιν εὔθυμοί τε ὦσιν καὶ ἡδέως διαγίνωνται πρὸς τῇ τῶν ἰδίων ἀντιλήμψει
You will therefore do well to send messengers to them and give them the right hand of friendship, that they, knowing our mind, may be of good heart, and gladly occupy themselves with the conduct of their own affairs.
所以你要善待他們，差人去與他們和好,好叫他們知道我們的心意，就歡欣安樂地料理自己的事務。」
11:27
πρὸς δὲ τὸ ἔθνος ἡ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπιστολὴ τοιάδε ἦν βασιλεὺς Ἀντίοχος τῇ γερουσίᾳ τῶν Ιουδαίων καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις Ιουδαίοις χαίρειν
And to the nation the king’s letter was after this manner: King Antiochus to the senate of the Jews and to the other Jews, greeting.
王給這民族的信內容如下：「安提阿古王向猶大人的長老議會和其餘的猶大人問安。
11:28
εἰ ἔρρωσθε εἴη ἂν ὡς βουλόμεθα καὶ αὐτοὶ δὲ ὑγιαίνομεν
If you⌃ fare well, we have our desire: we ourselves also are in good health.
願你們安康；這也是我們所願的。我們自己也都健康。
11:29
ἐνεφάνισεν ἡμῖν Μενέλαος βούλεσθαι κατελθόντας ὑμᾶς γίνεσθαι πρὸς τοῖς ἰδίοις
Menelaus informed us that your desire was to return home and follow your own business.
米尼勞向我們表明你們願意回鄉料理自己的事務。
11:30
τοῖς οὖν καταπορευομένοις μέχρι τριακάδος Ξανθικοῦ ὑπάρξει δεξιὰ μετὰ τῆς ἀδείας
They therefore that depart home up to the thirties day of Xanthicus shall have our friendship, with full permission
所以凡在贊提庫月三十日之前回鄉的人，必得保證和赦免，
11:31
χρῆσθαι τοὺς Ιουδαίους τοῖς ἑαυτῶν δαπανήμασιν καὶ νόμοις καθὰ καὶ τὸ πρότερον καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν κατ’ οὐδένα τρόπον παρενοχληθήσεται περὶ τῶν ἠγνοημένων
that the Jews use their own proper meats and observe their own laws, even as heretofore; and none of them shall be in any way molested for the things that have been ignorantly done.
使猶大人得照從前一樣享用自己的飲食、遵行自己的律法，他們中間無一人會因從前無知所行的事而以任何方式受到滋擾。
11:32
πέπομφα δὲ καὶ τὸν Μενέλαον παρακαλέσοντα ὑμᾶς
Moreover I have sent Menelaus also, that he may encourage you.
我也差派米尼勞去安撫你們。
11:33

ἔπεμψαν δὲ καὶ οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐπιστολὴν ἔχουσαν οὕτως Κόιντος Μέμμιος Τίτος Μάνιος πρεσβῦται Ῥωμαίων τῷ δήμῳ τῶν Ιουδαίων χαίρειν
And the Romans also sent to them a letter in these words: Quintus Memmius and Titus Manius, ambassadors of the Romans, to the people of the Jews, greeting.
羅馬人也寄信給他們，內容如下：「羅馬使節昆圖斯·門米烏斯和提圖斯·馬尼烏斯，向猶大民眾問安。
11:35
ὑπὲρ ὧν Λυσίας ὁ συγγενὴς τοῦ βασιλέως συνεχώρησεν ὑμῖν καὶ ἡμεῖς συνευδοκοῦμεν
In regard to the things which Lysias the king’s kinsman granted you, we also give consent.
凡王親呂西亞所應允你們的，我們也都贊同。
11:36
ἃ δὲ ἔκρινεν προσανενεχθῆναι τῷ βασιλεῖ πέμψατέ τινα παραχρῆμα ἐπισκεψάμενοι περὶ τούτων ἵνα ἐκθῶμεν ὡς καθήκει ὑμῖν ἡμεῖς γὰρ προσάγομεν πρὸς Ἀντιόχειαν
But as for the things which he judged should be referred to the king, send one forthwith, after you⌃ have advised thereof, that we may publish such decrees as befit your case; for we are on our way to Antioch.
但他斷定須呈報給王的事，你們察看之後，要立即差人來，好讓我們照你們的情形向王陳明，因為我們正前往安提阿。
11:37
διὸ σπεύσατε καὶ πέμψατέ τινας ὅπως καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπιγνῶμεν ὁποίας ἐστὲ γνώμης
Wherefore send some with speed, that we also may learn what is your mind.
所以你們要趕緊差派人來，使我們也得知你們的意向。
11:38
ὑγιαίνετε ἔτους ἑκατοστοῦ τεσσαρακοστοῦ ὀγδόου Ξανθικοῦ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ
Farewell. Written in the hundred forty and eighth year, on the fifteenth day of Xanthicus.
願你們安康。第一百四十八年，贊提庫月十五日。」
