Think not to corrupt with gifts; for he will not receive them: And set not your mind on an unrighteous sacrifice; For the Lord is judge, And with him is no respect of persons.
He that serves God according to his good pleasure shall be accepted, And his supplication shall reach to the clouds.
35:17
ወብእሲሰ፡ ኃጥእ፡ ኢያፀምእ፡ ዘይጌሥጽዎ፡ ወኵሉ፡ ከማሁ፡ ይመስሎ፡ በልቡ።
謙卑人的禱告穿透雲層;在達到目的之前,他不肯得安慰。
The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds; And till it come near, he will not be comforted; And he will not depart, till the Most High shall visit; And he shall judge righteously, and execute judgement.
And the Lord will not be slack, neither will he be longsuffering toward them, Till he have crushed the loins of the unmerciful; And he shall repay vengeance to the heathen; Till he have taken away the multitude of the haughty, And broken in pieces the sceptres of the unrighteous;
Till he have rendered to every man according to his doings, And to the works of men according to their plans; Till he have judged the cause of his people; And he shall make them to rejoice in his mercy.
35:20
ወኢትሖር፡ ፍኖተ፡ በዳ፡ ከመ፡ ኢትትዐቀፍ፡ በእብነ፡ መንሱት።
直到祂壓碎那不憐憫者的腰,又向外邦施行報應;
Mercy is seasonable in the time of his afflicting them, As clouds of rain in the time of drought.
35:21
ኢትተአመኖ፡ ለጸላኢከ፡ በሐቅል።
直到祂除滅狂傲之輩,並折斷不義者的權杖;
Until he takes away the multitude of the insolent, and breaks in pieces the sceptres of the unrighteous;
35:22
ወኢትትአመን፡ ወልደከሂ፡ ዘኢየሐውር፡ በግዕዝከ።
直到祂照各人的行為報應他,按人所謀算的報應他們的作為;
Until he repays a man according to his deeds, and the works of men according to their devices;
35:23
ወበኵሉ፡ ዘገበርከ፡ አስተፍሥሓ፡ ለነፍስከ፡ ወበኵሉ፡ ዕቀብ፡ ትእዛዞ።
直到祂為自己的子民申冤審斷,並以祂的憐憫使他們歡喜。
Until he judges the cause of his people, and makes them rejoice in his mercy.
