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).

11:1

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει

Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said:

米奈人瑣法回答說：

11:2

ὁ τὰ πολλὰ λέγων καὶ ἀντακούσεται ἢ καὶ ὁ εὔλαλος οἴεται εἶναι δίκαιος εὐλογημένος γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος

Shall he who speaks much also hear in reply? Or does the eloquent man think himself righteous? Blessed is the short-lived one born of a woman.

多言的人豈不也要聽人回答嗎？能言善道的人豈以為自己有理嗎？婦人所生、年日短少的，是有福的。

11:3

μὴ πολὺς ἐν ῥήμασιν γίνου οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἀντικρινόμενός σοι

Do not be lavish with words, for there is no one to contend with you.

不要多言多語，因為沒有人與你對辯。

11:4

μὴ γὰρ λέγε ὅτι καθαρός εἰμι τοῖς ἔργοις καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ

Do not say, 'I am clean in my works and blameless before him.'

你不要說：「我的行為潔淨，在他面前無可指責。」

11:5

ἀλλὰ πῶς ἂν ὁ κύριος λαλήσαι πρὸς σέ καὶ ἀνοίξει χείλη αὐτοῦ μετὰ σοῦ

But oh that the Lord would speak to you, and open his lips with you!

惟願主向你說話，向你開他的嘴唇，

11:6

εἶτα ἀναγγελεῖ σοι δύναμιν σοφίας ὅτι διπλοῦς ἔσται τῶν κατὰ σέ καὶ τότε γνώσῃ ὅτι ἄξιά σοι ἀπέβη ἀπὸ κυρίου ὧν ἡμάρτηκας

Then he would declare to you the power of wisdom, that it is double what you have; and then you would know that what has come upon you from the Lord is what your sins deserve.

那時他必向你宣告智慧的能力，因為那智慧是你所有的雙倍；你就知道，主所降與你的，正是你所犯之罪應得的。

11:7

ἦ ἴχνος κυρίου εὑρήσεις ἢ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα ἀφίκου ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ παντοκράτωρ

Will you find the track of the Lord? Or have you come to the uttermost things that the Almighty has made?

你豈能尋見主的蹤跡嗎？你豈已到達全能者所造的極處嗎？

11:8

ὑψηλὸς ὁ οὐρανός καὶ τί ποιήσεις βαθύτερα δὲ τῶν ἐν ᾅδου τί οἶδας

Heaven is high—and what will you do? Things deeper than those in Hades—what do you know?

天是高的，你能做甚麼呢？比陰間更深的事，你知道甚麼呢？

11:9

ἢ μακρότερα μέτρου γῆς ἢ εὔρους θαλάσσης

Or things longer than the measure of the earth, or than the breadth of the sea?

或是比地的量度更長、比海的寬闊更廣的事呢？
