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).

ὀλέκομαι πνεύματι φερόμενος δέομαι δὲ ταφῆς καὶ οὐ τυγχάνω

I am perishing, carried away by the wind; I beg for burial, and do not obtain it.

我被風吹送，正在消亡；我求一個墳墓，卻得不著。

17:2

λίσσομαι κάμνων καὶ τί ποιήσας

I entreat in weariness—and what have I done?

我困乏哀求，我究竟做了甚麼呢？

17:3

ἔκλεψαν δέ μου τὰ ὑπάρχοντα ἀλλότριοι τίς ἐστιν οὗτος τῇ χειρί μου συνδεθήτω

Strangers have stolen my possessions. Who is this man? Let him be bound by my hand.

外人偷走了我的財物。這人是誰？願他被捆綁在我手上。

17:4

ὅτι καρδίαν αὐτῶν ἔκρυψας ἀπὸ φρονήσεως διὰ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ ὑψώσῃς αὐτούς

For you have hidden their heart from understanding; therefore you will not exalt them.

因為你把他們的心隱藏起來，使他們沒有見識；因此你必不高舉他們。

τῇ μερίδι ἀναγγελεῖ κακίας ὀφθαλμοὶ δέ μου ἐφ’ υἱοῖς ἐτάκησαν

He will announce evils for a share of the spoil, and my eyes have failed over my children.

他為著分得的好處宣揚惡事，我的眼睛卻為兒女衰殘了。

ἔθου δέ με θρύλημα ἐν ἔθνεσιν γέλως δὲ αὐτοῖς ἀπέβην

You have made me a byword among the nations, and I have become a laughingstock to them.

你使我在列國中成為笑談，我在他們眼中成了笑柄。

17:7

πεπώρωνται γὰρ ἀπὸ ὀργῆς οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου πεπολιόρκημαι μεγάλως ὑπὸ πάντων

For my eyes have grown dim from anger, and I have been greatly besieged by all.

我的眼睛因忿怒而昏花，我被眾人大大圍困。

17:8

θαῦμα ἔσχεν ἀληθινοὺς ἐπὶ τούτῳ δίκαιος δὲ ἐπὶ παρανόμῳ ἐπανασταίη

Amazement has seized the truthful at this, and may the righteous rise up against the lawbreaker.

誠實人因這事驚奇，願義人起來攻擊不法之人。

17:9

σχοίη δὲ πιστὸς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδόν καθαρὸς δὲ χεῖρας ἀναλάβοι θάρσος

May the faithful man hold to his own way, and may the one clean of hands take up courage.

願忠信的人持守自己的道路，願手潔的人得著勇氣。
