4:1
O quam pulchra est casta generatio, cum claritate ! immortalis est enim memoria illius, quoniam et apud Deum nota est, et apud homines.
有德而無子，勝過這樣的人；因為德行的記念裡有不朽，在神和世人面前都被看重。
Better than this is childishness with virtue; For in the memory of virtue is immortality: Because it is recognized both before God and before men.
4:2
Cum præsens est, imitantur illam, et desiderant eam cum se eduxerit ; et in perpetuum coronata triumphat, incoinquinatorum certaminum præmium vincens.
德行存在時，人就效法它；它離去後，人就思慕它；它永遠頭戴冠冕得勝凱旋，因贏得那無瑕的賞賜之爭戰而誇勝。
When it is present, men imitate it; And they long after it when it is departed: And throughout all time it marcheth crowned in triumph, Victorious in the strife for the prizes that are undefiled.
4:3
Multigena autem impiorum multitudo non erit utilis, et spuria vitulamina non dabunt radices altas, nec stabile firmamentum collocabunt.
但不敬虔者眾多的子孫卻無益處，從私生的枝條中，他們不能向下扎深根，也不能立穩根基。
But the multiplying brood of the ungodly will be of no profit, And with bastard slips they will not strike deep root, Nor will they establish a sure hold.
4:4
Etsi in ramis in tempore germinaverint, infirmiter posita, a vento commovebuntur, et a nimietate ventorum eradicabuntur.
因為這些縱然暫時長出枝子茂盛一時，卻立足不穩，必被風搖動，被狂風的暴力連根拔起。
For even if these put forth boughs and flourish for a season, q1 Yet, standing unsure, they will be shaken by the wind, And by the violence of winds they will be rooted out.
4:5
Confringentur enim rami inconsummati ; et fructus illorum inutiles et acerbi ad manducandum, et ad nihilum apti.
未成熟的嫩枝必被折斷，所結的果子無用，不熟不可喫，毫無用處。
Their branches will be broken off before they come to maturity, and their fruit will be useless, Never ripe to eat, and fit for nothing.
4:6
Ex iniquis enim somnis filii qui nascuntur, testes sunt nequitiæ adversus parentes in interrogatione sua.
因為從不法情慾所生的兒女，在受察驗時，必作見證控告他們父母的邪惡。
For children unlawfully begotten are witnesses of wickedness Against parents when God searcheth them out.
4:7
Justus autem si morte præoccupatus fuerit, in refrigerio erit ;
但義人縱然早逝，也必得安息。
But a righteous man, though he die before his time, will be at rest.
4:8
senectus enim venerabilis est non diuturna, neque annorum numero computata : cani autem sunt sensus hominis,
因為可敬的老年不在於年日的長久，也不是以歲數來衡量；
(For honorable old age is not that which stands in length of time, Nor is its measure given by number of years:
4:9
et ætas senectutis vita immaculata.
明達於人就是白髮，無瑕的生活就是真正的老成。
But understanding is gray hairs to men, And an unspotted life is ripe old age.)
4:10
Placens Deo factus est dilectus, et vivens inter peccatores translatus est.
他既蒙神喜悅，就為神所愛，活在罪人中間被提去了；
Being found well-pleasing to God he was beloved of him, And while living among sinners he was translated:
4:11
Raptus est, ne malitia mutaret intellectum ejus, aut ne fictio deciperet animam illius.
他被提去，免得邪惡改變他的明達，或詭詐迷惑他的心靈。
He was caught away, lest wickedness should change his understanding, Or guile deceive his soul.
4:12
Fascinatio enim nugacitatis obscurat bona, et inconstantia concupiscentiæ transvertit sensum sine malitia.
因為惡事的迷惑使美善黯然失色，情慾的搖盪敗壞純真的心。
(For the bewitching of naughtiness bedimmeth the things which are good, And the giddy whirl of desire perverteth an innocent mind.)
4:13
Consummatus in brevi, explevit tempora multa ;
他在短時間內得以完全，就成就了長久的年歲；
Being made perfect in a little while, he fulfilled long years;
4:14
placita enim erat Deo anima illius : propter hoc properavit educere illum de medio iniquitatum. Populi autem videntes, et non intelligentes, nec ponentes in præcordiis talia,
因為他的心靈為主所喜悅，所以神急速領他離開邪惡之中。眾人看見卻不明白，也不放在心上，
For his soul was pleasing to the Lord: Therefore hurried he out of the midst of wickedness.
4:15
quoniam gratia Dei et misericordia est in sanctos ejus, et respectus in electos illius.
不知恩典和憐憫臨到祂所揀選的人，祂也眷顧祂聖潔的人。
But as for the peoples, seeing and understanding not, Neither laying this to heart, That grace and mercy are with his chosen, And that he visiteth his holy ones:—
4:16
Condemnat autem justus mortuus vivos impios, et juventus celerius consummata longam vitam injusti.
那已死的義人必定罪那活著的不敬虔者，速然完全的少年也必定罪不義者多年的老邁。
But a righteous man that is dead will condemn the ungodly that are living, And youth that is quickly perfected the many years of an unrighteous man’s old age;
4:17
Videbunt enim finem sapientis, et non intelligent quid cogitaverit de illo Deus, et quare munierit illum Dominus.
因為他們必看見智慧人的結局，卻不明白主為他所定的旨意，也不明白主為何如此保守他。
For the ungodly will see a wise man’s end, And will not understand what the Lord purposed concerning him, And for what he safely kept him:—
4:18
Videbunt, et contemnent eum ; illos autem Dominus irridebit.
他們看見就藐視；但主必嗤笑他們。此後他們必成為被人輕看的屍首，在死人中永遠受辱。
They will see, and they will despise; But them the Lord will laugh to scorn. And after this they will become a dishonored carcase, And a reproach among the dead forever:
4:19
Et erunt post hæc decidentes sine honore, et in contumelia inter mortuos in perpetuum : quoniam disrumpet illos inflatos sine voce, et commovebit illos a fundamentis, et usque ad supremum desolabuntur, et erunt gementes, et memoria illorum peribit.
因為主必把他們無聲地猛摔在地，從根基上搖撼他們，使他們徹底荒廢，陷在痛苦中，他們的記念也必消滅。
Because he will dash them speechless to the ground, And will shake them from the foundations, And they will lie utterly waste, and they will be in anguish, And their memory will perish.
4:20
Venient in cogitatione peccatorum suorum timidi, et traducent illos ex adverso iniquitates ipsorum.
在清算他們罪過的時候，他們必膽怯前來，他們不法的行為必當面定他們的罪。
They will come, when their sins are reckoned up, with coward fear; And their lawless deeds will convict them to their face.
