In the congregation of the Most High will she open her mouth, And glory in the presence of his power.

我住在高處，我的寶座在雲柱之中。
I lived in high places, And my throne is in the pillar of the cloud.

在這一切之中，我尋求安息，要在誰的基業中棲身呢？
With all these I sought rest; And in whose inheritance shall I lodge?
24:8
Gyrum cæli circuivi sola, et profundum abyssi penetravi : in fluctibus maris ambulavi.
那時，創造萬有的主吩咐我，造我的主使我的帳幕安歇，說：『你要在雅各中支搭帳幕，在以色列中得基業。』
Then the Creator of all things gave me a commandment; And he that created me made my tabernacle to rest, And said, Let your tabernacle be in Jacob, And your inheritance in Israel.
24:9
Et in omni terra steti : et in omni populo,
他在萬世以先，從太初就造了我，直到永遠，我也必不消逝。
He created me from the beginning before the world; And to the end I will not fail.
24:10
et in omni gente primatum habui :
我在聖潔的帳幕中於他面前供職，這樣便在錫安立定。
In the holy tabernacle I ministered before him; And so was I established in Sion.
24:11
et omnium excellentium et humilium corda virtute calcavi. Et in his omnibus requiem quæsivi, et in hæreditate Domini morabor.
在他所愛的城中，他同樣使我安歇，我的權柄就在耶路撒冷。
In the beloved city likewise he gave me rest; And in Jerusalem was my authority.
24:12
Tunc præcepit, et dixit mihi Creator omnium : et qui creavit me, requievit in tabernaculo meo.

24:14
Ab initio et ante sæcula creata sum, et usque ad futurum sæculum non desinam : et in habitatione sancta coram ipso ministravi.
我像隱基底的棕樹高聳，像耶利哥的玫瑰叢，又像平原中秀美的橄欖樹；我高聳如同梧桐樹。
I was exalted like a palm tree on the sea shore, And as rose plants in Jericho, And as a fair olive tree in the plain; And I was exalted as a plane tree.
24:15
Et sic in Sion firmata sum, et in civitate sanctificata similiter requievi, et in Jerusalem potestas mea.
我像肉桂與芬芳的香枝散發香氣，像精選的沒藥發出馨香，又像楓子香、香螺、蘇合香，以及帳幕中乳香的煙氣。
As cinnamon and aspalathus, I have given a scent of perfumes; And as choice myrrh, I spread abroad a pleasant odour; As galbanum, and onyx, and stacte, And as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.
24:16
Et radicavi in populo honorificato, et in parte Dei mei hæreditas illius, et in plenitudine sanctorum detentio mea.

As the terebinth I stretched out my branches; And my branches are branches of glory and grace.

Come to me, you⌃ that are desirous of me, And be you⌃ filled with my produce.
24:20
Sicut cinnamomum et balsamum aromatizans odorem dedi ; quasi myrrha electa dedi suavitatem odoris :
因為記念我比蜂蜜更甜，承受我為業比蜂房之蜜更美。
For my memorial is sweeter than honey, And my inheritance than the honeycomb.
24:21
et quasi storax, et galbanus, et ungula, et gutta, et quasi Libanus non incisus vaporavi habitationem meam, et quasi balsamum non mistum odor meus.
喫我的人還要再餓，喝我的人還要再渴。
They that eat me will yet be hungry; And those who drink me will yet be thirsty.
24:22
Ego quasi terebinthus extendi ramos meos, et rami mei honoris et gratiæ.
順從我的必不蒙羞，在我裡面作工的必不行差錯。
He that obeys me will not be ashamed; And those who work in me will not do amiss.
24:23
Ego quasi vitis fructificavi suavitatem odoris : et flores mei fructus honoris et honestatis.
這一切就是至高神之約的書卷，就是摩西所吩咐我們的律法，作雅各會眾的基業。
All these things are the book of the covenant of the Most High God, Even the law which Moses commanded us for a heritage to the assemblies of Jacob.
24:24
Ego mater pulchræ dilectionis, et timoris, et agnitionis, et sanctæ spei.

It is he that makes wisdom abundant, as Pishon, And as Tigris in the days of new fruits;
24:26
Transite ad me, omnes qui concupiscitis me, et a generationibus meis implemini :
他使悟性充溢如幼發拉底河，如收割時節的約旦河。
That makes understanding full as Euphrates, And as Jordan in the days of harvest;
24:27
spiritus enim meus super mel dulcis, et hæreditas mea super mel et favum.
他使訓誨發光如同光明，如葡萄收成時節的基訓河。
That makes instruction to shine forth as the light, As Gihon in the days of vintage.
24:28
Memoria mea in generationes sæculorum.
第一個人未曾透徹認識她，末後的人也照樣未能探究她。
The first man knew her not perfectly; And in like manner the last has not traced her out.
24:29
Qui edunt me, adhuc esurient, et qui bibunt me, adhuc sitient.
因為她的思想充溢如海洋，她的謀略深邃如大淵。
For her thoughts are filled from the sea, And her counsels from the great deep.
24:30
Qui audit me non confundetur, et qui operantur in me non peccabunt :
我也像從江河引出的水渠，又像通入園中的水道。
And I came out as a stream from a river, And as a conduit into a garden.
24:31
qui elucidant me, vitam æternam habebunt.
我說：『我要澆灌我的園子，潤澤我的菜畦』；看哪，我的水渠竟成了江河，我的江河又成了海洋。
I said, I will water my garden, And will water abundantly my garden bed; And, behold, my stream became a river, And my river became a sea.
24:32
Hæc omnia liber vitæ, et testamentum Altissimi, et agnitio veritatis.
我還要使訓誨如晨光照耀，並使這些事顯明於遠方。
I will yet bring instruction to light as the morning, And will make these things to shine forth afar off.
24:33
Legem mandavit Moyses in præceptis justitiarum, et hæreditatem domui Jacob, et Israël promissiones.
我還要將教訓如預言般傾倒出來，留給萬代的後人。
I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, And leave it to generations of ages.
24:34
Posuit David, puero suo, excitare regem ex ipso fortissimum, et in throno honoris sedentem in sempiternum.
你們要看明：我勞苦並非單為自己，乃是為一切殷勤尋求她的人。
Behold that I have not laboured for myself only, But for all those who diligently seek her.
