16:1
μὴ ἐπιθύμει τέκνων πλῆθος ἀχρήστων μηδὲ εὐφραίνου ἐπὶ υἱοῖς ἀσεβέσιν
不要貪求生養許多無用的兒女，也不要因不敬虔的兒子歡喜。
Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, Neither delight in ungodly sons.
16:2
ἐὰν πληθύνωσιν μὴ εὐφραίνου ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς εἰ μή ἐστιν φόβος κυρίου μετ’ αὐτῶν
他們即便人數眾多，你也不要因他們歡喜，除非他們存有敬畏主的心。
If they multiply, delight not in them, Except the fear of the Lord be with them.
16:3
μὴ ἐμπιστεύσῃς τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν καὶ μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν κρείσσων γὰρ εἷς ἢ χίλιοι καὶ ἀποθανεῖν ἄτεκνον ἢ ἔχειν τέκνα ἀσεβῆ
不要倚仗他們的性命，也不要倚賴他們的眾多；因為一個勝過一千個，無兒而死也勝過有不敬虔的兒女。
Trust not you in their life, Neither rely on their condition: For one is better than a thousand; And to die childless than to have ungodly children.
16:4
ἀπὸ γὰρ ἑνὸς συνετοῦ συνοικισθήσεται πόλις φυλὴ δὲ ἀνόμων ἐρημωθήσεται
因為靠一個有見識的人，城邑便得以興旺；不法之徒的族類，卻必荒涼。
For from one that has understanding will a city be peopled; But a race of wicked men will be made desolate.
16:5
πολλὰ τοιαῦτα ἑόρακεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου καὶ ἰσχυρότερα τούτων ἀκήκοεν τὸ οὖς μου
這類的事我親眼見過許多，比這更大的事我也親耳聽過。
Many such things I have seen with my eyes; And my ear has heard mightier things than these.
16:6
ἐν συναγωγῇ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐκκαυθήσεται πῦρ καὶ ἐν ἔθνει ἀπειθεῖ ἐξεκαύθη ὀργή
在罪人的集會中必有火燃起，在悖逆的國中忿怒必被點燃。
In the congregation of sinners will a fire be kindled; And in a disobedient nation wrath is kindled.
16:7
οὐκ ἐξιλάσατο περὶ τῶν ἀρχαίων γιγάντων οἳ ἀπέστησαν τῇ ἰσχύι αὐτῶν
他不曾向古時憑己力背叛的巨人施恩開恩。
He was not pacified toward the giants of old time, Who revolted in their strength.
16:8
οὐκ ἐφείσατο περὶ τῆς παροικίας Λωτ οὓς ἐβδελύξατο διὰ τὴν ὑπερηφανίαν αὐτῶν
他不顧惜羅得所寄居之地的眾人，因他們的驕傲而憎惡他們。
He spared not those with whom Lot sojourned, Whom he abhorred for their pride.
16:9
οὐκ ἠλέησεν ἔθνος ἀπωλείας τοὺς ἐξηρμένους ἐν ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν
他不憐憫那滅亡的民，就是在罪中被剪除的人。
He pitied not the people of perdition, Who were taken away in their sins.
16:10
καὶ οὕτως ἑξακοσίας χιλιάδας πεζῶν τοὺς ἐπισυναχθέντας ἐν σκληροκαρδίᾳ αὐτῶν
照樣，那六十萬步兵，就是心裡剛硬聚集起來的人，也是如此。
And in like manner the six hundred thousand footmen, Who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.
16:11
κἂν ᾖ εἷς σκληροτράχηλος θαυμαστὸν τοῦτο εἰ ἀθῳωθήσεται ἔλεος γὰρ καὶ ὀργὴ παρ’ αὐτῷ δυνάστης ἐξιλασμῶν καὶ ἐκχέων ὀργήν
即便其中只有一個硬著頸項的人，他若能逃脫刑罰也是怪事；因為憐憫與忿怒都在乎主，他大有能力赦免，也傾倒忿怒。
Even if there be one stiff-necked person, It is marvel if he will be unpunished: For mercy and wrath are with him; He is mighty to forgive, and he pours out wrath.
16:12
κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ οὕτως καὶ πολὺς ὁ ἔλεγχος αὐτοῦ ἄνδρα κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ κρινεῖ
他的憐憫何等浩大，他的責罰也照樣浩大；他必按各人的行為審判他。
As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: He judges a man according to his works.
16:13
οὐκ ἐκφεύξεται ἐν ἁρπάγματι ἁμαρτωλός καὶ οὐ μὴ καθυστερήσει ὑπομονὴ εὐσεβοῦς
罪人必不能帶著贓物逃脫，敬虔人的忍耐也必不落空。
The sinner will not escape with his plunder; And the perseverance of the godly will not be frustrated.
16:14
πάσῃ ἐλεημοσύνῃ ποιήσει τόπον ἕκαστος κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει
他必為各樣憐憫的善行留有餘地，各人必照自己的行為得著報應。
He will make room for every work of mercy; Each man will find according to his works.
16:17
μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι ἀπὸ κυρίου κρυβήσομαι καὶ ἐξ ὕψους τίς μου μνησθήσεται ἐν λαῷ πλείονι οὐ μὴ γνωσθῶ τίς γὰρ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ἀμετρήτῳ κτίσει
不要說：『我可以躲避主，誰會從高處記念我？我在這許多人中必不被認出，在這無量的受造之物中，我的性命算得了什麼？』
Don’t say, I shall be hidden from the Lord; And who will remember me from on high? I will not be known among so many people; For what is my soul in a boundless creation?
16:18
ἰδοὺ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἄβυσσος καὶ γῆ ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ αὐτοῦ σαλευθήσονται
看哪，諸天與諸天之上的天、深淵與大地，當他鑒察時，都要震動。
Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, The deep, and the earth, will be moved when he shall visit.
16:19
ἅμα τὰ ὄρη καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς ἐν τῷ ἐπιβλέψαι εἰς αὐτὰ τρόμῳ συσσείονται
當他垂顧時，羣山與地的根基一同戰兢搖撼。
The mountains and the foundations of the earth together Are shaken with trembling, when he looks upon them.
16:20
καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς οὐ διανοηθήσεται καρδία καὶ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ τίς ἐνθυμηθήσεται
然而人心不思想這些事，誰又能領悟他的道路呢？
And no heart will think upon these things: And who shall conceive his ways?
16:21
καὶ καταιγίς ἣν οὐκ ὄψεται ἄνθρωπος τὰ δὲ πλείονα τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀποκρύφοις
還有人所不能見的風暴，他大部分的作為都隱藏在幽暗之中。
And there is a tempest which no man will see; Yes, the more part of his works are hid.
16:22
ἔργα δικαιοσύνης τίς ἀναγγελεῖ ἢ τίς ὑπομενεῖ μακρὰν γὰρ ἡ διαθήκη
他公義的作為，誰能述說？誰又能承受？因為這約離我們甚遠。
Who will declare the works of his righteousness? Or who will endure them? For his covenant is afar off.
16:23
ἐλαττούμενος καρδίᾳ διανοεῖται ταῦτα καὶ ἀνὴρ ἄφρων καὶ πλανώμενος διανοεῖται μωρά
心智短少的人思想這些事，愚昧迷失的人思想的盡是糊塗。
He that is lacking in understanding thinks upon these things; And an unwise and erring man thinks follies.
16:24
ἄκουσόν μου τέκνον καὶ μάθε ἐπιστήμην καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων μου πρόσεχε τῇ καρδίᾳ σου
孩子啊，要聽我，學習知識，留心我的話放在你心上。
My son, hearken to me, and learn knowledge, And give heed to my words with your heart.
16:25
ἐκφανῶ ἐν σταθμῷ παιδείαν καὶ ἐν ἀκριβείᾳ ἀπαγγελῶ ἐπιστήμην
我要按準則指示教誨，精確地宣告知識。
I will show forth instruction by weight, And declare knowledge exactly.
16:26
ἐν κρίσει κυρίου τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς καὶ ἀπὸ ποιήσεως αὐτῶν διέστειλεν μερίδας αὐτῶν
主的作為從起初就照他的判斷而行，從他造作之時，就分定了它們各自的本分。
In the judgement of the Lord are his works from the beginning; And from the making of them he disposed the parts thereof.
16:27
ἐκόσμησεν εἰς αἰῶνα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐπείνασαν οὔτε ἐκοπίασαν καὶ οὐκ ἐξέλιπον ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν
他永遠地裝飾了他的作為，使它們的起頭世代相傳；它們既不飢餓，也不疲乏，從不停止它們的工作。
He garnished his works forever, And the beginnings of them to their generations: They neither hunger, nor are weary, And they cease not from their works.
16:28
ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέθλιψεν καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος οὐκ ἀπειθήσουσιν τοῦ ῥήματος αὐτοῦ
它們彼此不相壓迫，永不違揹他的話語。
No one thrusteth aside his neighbor; And they will never disobey his word.
16:29
καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα κύριος εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐπέβλεψεν καὶ ἐνέπλησεν αὐτὴν τῶν ἀγαθῶν αὐτοῦ
此後主又垂顧大地，將他的美物充滿其上。
After this also the Lord looked upon the earth, And filled it with his blessings.
16:30
ψυχῇ παντὸς ζῴου ἐκάλυψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ εἰς αὐτὴν ἡ ἀποστροφὴ αὐτῶν
他以各樣活物遮蓋地面，它們也都要歸回於地。
All manner of living things covered the face thereof; And into it is their return.
