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).

12:1

δίκαιος εἶ κύριε ὅτι ἀπολογήσομαι πρὸς σέ πλὴν κρίματα λαλήσω πρὸς σέ τί ὅτι ὁδὸς ἀσεβῶν εὐοδοῦται εὐθήνησαν πάντες οἱ ἀθετοῦντες ἀθετήματα

You are righteous, O Lord, that I should plead before you; yet I will speak judgements with you: Why is the way of the ungodly prosperous? Why do all who deal treacherously thrive?

主啊，你是公義的，我還要向你申辯；只是我要與你談論公斷的事：惡人的道路為何亨通？一切行事奸詐的為何都興旺？

12:2

ἐφύτευσας αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐρριζώθησαν ἐτεκνοποίησαν καὶ ἐποίησαν καρπόν ἐγγὺς εἶ σὺ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν καὶ πόρρω ἀπὸ τῶν νεφρῶν αὐτῶν

You planted them, and they took root; they bore children and produced fruit. You are near to their mouth, but far from their kidneys.

你栽種了他們，他們也扎了根，生兒養女，結出果子。你在他們口中是近的，在他們肺腑中卻是遠的。

12:3

καὶ σύ κύριε γινώσκεις με δεδοκίμακας τὴν καρδίαν μου ἐναντίον σου ἅγνισον αὐτοὺς εἰς ἡμέραν σφαγῆς αὐτῶν

And you, O Lord, know me; you have tested my heart before you. Set them apart for the day of their slaughter.

主啊，你認識我，你已在你面前察驗了我的心。求你使他們分別出來，歸於宰殺他們的日子。

12:4

ἕως πότε πενθήσει ἡ γῆ καὶ πᾶς ὁ χόρτος τοῦ ἀγροῦ ξηρανθήσεται ἀπὸ κακίας τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν αὐτῇ ἠφανίσθησαν κτήνη καὶ πετεινά ὅτι εἶπαν οὐκ ὄψεται ὁ θεὸς ὁδοὺς ἡμῶν

How long shall the land mourn and all the grass of the field wither because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it? Cattle and birds have been wiped out, for they said: God will not see our ways.

這地悲哀、田野的一切青草枯乾，要到幾時呢？都因其中居民的惡行。牲畜和飛鳥都滅絕了，因為他們說：神必不看見我們的道路。

12:5

σοῦ οἱ πόδες τρέχουσιν καὶ ἐκλύουσίν σε πῶς παρασκευάσῃ ἐφ’ ἵπποις καὶ ἐν γῇ εἰρήνης σὺ πέποιθας πῶς ποιήσεις ἐν φρυάγματι τοῦ Ιορδάνου

Your feet run and they weary you; how then will you prepare yourself among horses? And in a land of peace you are confident; how then will you fare in the raging of the Jordan?

你的雙腳奔跑，尚且使你疲乏，你怎能在馬匹中預備自己呢？你在平安之地才有把握，在約但河的狂傲奔騰中又怎樣行呢？

12:6

ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ οὗτοι ἠθέτησάν σε καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐβόησαν ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω σου ἐπισυνήχθησαν μὴ πιστεύσῃς ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅτι λαλήσουσιν πρὸς σὲ καλά

For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; and they themselves have cried out from behind you, they have gathered together. Do not trust in them, though they speak good things to you.

因為連你的弟兄和你父家的人，也都以詭詐待你；他們也在你背後大聲喊叫，聚集起來。他們雖對你說好話，你也不可信他們。

12:7

ἐγκαταλέλοιπα τὸν οἶκόν μου ἀφῆκα τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἔδωκα τὴν ἠγαπημένην ψυχήν μου εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῆς

I have forsaken my house, I have let go my inheritance, I have given my beloved soul into the hands of her enemies.

我已離棄我的殿宇，撇下我的產業，將我心所親愛的交在她仇敵的手中。

12:8

ἐγενήθη ἡ κληρονομία μου ἐμοὶ ὡς λέων ἐν δρυμῷ ἔδωκεν ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῆς διὰ τοῦτο ἐμίσησα αὐτήν

My inheritance has become to me like a lion in a forest; she has raised her voice against me; therefore I hated her.

我的產業向我如同林中的獅子，向我發出吼聲，因此我恨惡她。

12:9

μὴ σπήλαιον ὑαίνης ἡ κληρονομία μου ἐμοὶ ἢ σπήλαιον κύκλῳ αὐτῆς βαδίσατε συναγάγετε πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ ἐλθέτωσαν τοῦ φαγεῖν αὐτήν

Is my inheritance to me a hyena's den, or is there a den around her? Go, gather all the wild beasts of the field, and let them come to devour her.

我的產業向我豈是鬣狗的洞穴嗎？或是四圍都有洞穴嗎？你們去聚集田野的一切走獸，叫牠們來吞吃她。
