11:1
εὐόδωσεν τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν ἐν χειρὶ προφήτου ἁγίου
智慧藉著一位聖潔先知的手，使他們所行的亨通。
She prospered their works in the hand of a holy prophet.
11:2
διώδευσαν ἔρημον ἀοίκητον καὶ ἐν ἀβάτοις ἔπηξαν σκηνάς
他們行過無人居住的曠野，在無路之地支搭帳棚。
They journeyed through a desert without inhabitant, And in trackless regions they pitched their tents.
11:3
ἀντέστησαν πολεμίοις καὶ ἐχθροὺς ἠμύναντο
他們抵擋仇敵，擊退敵人。
They withstood enemies, and repelled foes.
11:4
ἐδίψησαν καὶ ἐπεκαλέσαντό σε καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἐκ πέτρας ἀκροτόμου ὕδωρ καὶ ἴαμα δίψης ἐκ λίθου σκληροῦ
他們渴了，就呼求禰，水就從堅硬的磐石中為他們流出，從堅石中得了止渴的醫治。
They thirsted, and they called upon you, And there was given them water out of the flinty rock, And healing of their thirst out of the hard stone.
11:5
δῑ ὧν γὰρ ἐκολάσθησαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν διὰ τούτων αὐτοὶ ἀποροῦντες εὐεργετήθησαν
因為仇敵藉以受罰的，正是這些事使他們在缺乏時得了恩益。
For by what things their foes were punished, By these they in their need were benefited.
11:6
ἀντὶ μὲν πηγῆς ἀενάου ποταμοῦ αἵματι λυθρώδει ταραχθέντος
當仇敵的常流江河被攪成凝結的血時，
When the enemy were troubled with clotted blood instead of a river’s ever-flowing fountain,
11:7
εἰς ἔλεγχον νηπιοκτόνου διατάγματος ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς δαψιλὲς ὕδωρ ἀνελπίστως
為了責罰那殺嬰的命令，禰在絕望之外賜給他們充沛的水，
To rebuke the decree for the slaying of babes, You gave them abundant water beyond all hope,
11:8
δείξας διὰ τοῦ τότε δίψους πῶς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους ἐκόλασας
藉著當時的乾渴，顯明禰如何懲罰了那些敵對者。
Having shewn them by the thirst which they had suffered how you did punish the adversaries.
11:9
ὅτε γὰρ ἐπειράσθησαν καίπερ ἐν ἐλέει παιδευόμενοι ἔγνωσαν πῶς μετ’ ὀργῆς κρινόμενοι ἀσεβεῖς ἐβασανίζοντο
因為他們受試驗，雖在憐憫中受管教，卻也知道那些不敬虔的人怎樣在忿怒的審判下受苦。
For when they were tried, albeit but in mercy chastened, They learned how the ungodly were tormented, being judged with wrath:
11:10
τούτους μὲν γὰρ ὡς πατὴρ νουθετῶν ἐδοκίμασας ἐκείνους δὲ ὡς ἀπότομος βασιλεὺς καταδικάζων ἐξήτασας
因為禰試驗這些人，如同父親勸戒兒女；但察究那些人，如同嚴厲的君王定罪。
For these, as a father, admonishing them, you did prove; But those, as a stern king, condemning them, you did search out.
11:11
καὶ ἀπόντες δὲ καὶ παρόντες ὁμοίως ἐτρύχοντο
無論遠近，他們都同樣受困苦；
Yes and whether they were far off from the righteous or near them, they were alike distressed;
11:12
διπλῆ γὰρ αὐτοὺς ἔλαβεν λύπη καὶ στεναγμὸς μνημῶν τῶν παρελθόντων
因為有雙重的憂愁臨到他們，又因追想往事而歎息。
For a double grief took hold on them, And a groaning at the remembrance of things past.
11:13
ὅτε γὰρ ἤκουσαν διὰ τῶν ἰδίων κολάσεων εὐεργετημένους αὐτούς ᾔσθοντο τοῦ κυρίου
因為他們聽見別人藉著自己所受的刑罰反得了益處，就覺悟了主的同在；
For when they heard that through their own punishments the others had been benefited, They felt the presence of the Lord;
11:14
ὃν γὰρ ἐν ἐκθέσει πάλαι ῥιφέντα ἀπεῖπον χλευάζοντες ἐπὶ τέλει τῶν ἐκβάσεων ἐθαύμασαν οὐχ ὅμοια δικαίοις διψήσαντες
因為那從前被丟棄、被人譏笑棄絕的人，在事情末了的結局中，他們卻希奇了，因為他們所受的乾渴與義人所受的不同。
For him who long before was cast forth and exposed they left off mocking: In the last issue of what came to pass they marveled, Having thirsted in another manner than the righteous.
11:15
ἀντὶ δὲ λογισμῶν ἀσυνέτων ἀδικίας αὐτῶν ἐν οἷς πλανηθέντες ἐθρήσκευον ἄλογα ἑρπετὰ καὶ κνώδαλα εὐτελῆ ἐπαπέστειλας αὐτοῖς πλῆθος ἀλόγων ζῴων εἰς ἐκδίκησιν
為要報應他們不義的愚昧思念，就是他們受迷惑去敬拜無理性的爬蟲和卑賤的害蟲，禰就差遣許多無理性的動物臨到他們，施行報應，
But in requital of the senseless imaginings of their unrighteousness, Wherein they were led astray to worship irrational reptiles and wretched vermin, You did send upon them a multitude of irrational creatures for vengeance;
11:16
ἵνα γνῶσιν ὅτι δῑ ὧν τις ἁμαρτάνει διὰ τούτων κολάζεται
叫他們知道：人在甚麼事上犯罪，就在甚麼事上受罰。
That they might learn, that by what things a man sins, by these he is punished.
11:17
οὐ γὰρ ἠπόρει ἡ παντοδύναμός σου χεὶρ καὶ κτίσασα τὸν κόσμον ἐξ ἀμόρφου ὕλης ἐπιπέμψαι αὐτοῖς πλῆθος ἄρκων ἢ θρασεῖς λέοντας
因為禰那全能的手，曾用無形質料造成世界，並非缺乏方法，能差遣許多熊、或兇猛的獅子臨到他們，
For your all-powerful hand, That created the world out of formless matter, Lacked not means to send upon them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions,
11:18
ἢ νεοκτίστους θυμοῦ πλήρεις θῆρας ἀγνώστους ἤτοι πυρπνόον φυσῶντας ἄσθμα ἢ βρόμον λικμωμένους καπνοῦ ἢ δεινοὺς ἀπ’ ὀμμάτων σπινθῆρας ἀστράπτοντας
或差來新造、滿懷盛怒、人所未識的野獸，或噴吐烈火的氣息，或散發出沖天的濃煙，或從眼中閃射出可畏的火花，
Or new-created wild beasts, full of rage, of unknown kind, Either breathing out a blast of fiery breath, Or blowing forth from their nostrils noisome smoke, Or flashing dreadful sparkles from their eyes;
11:19
ὧν οὐ μόνον ἡ βλάβη ἠδύνατο συνεκτρῖψαι αὐτούς ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡ ὄψις ἐκφοβήσασα διολέσαι
這些不僅能以兇暴將他們消滅，更能單以其可怖的形貌使他們滅亡。
Which had power not only to consume them by their violence, But to destroy them even by the terror of their sight.
11:20
καὶ χωρὶς δὲ τούτων ἑνὶ πνεύματι πεσεῖν ἐδύναντο ὑπὸ τῆς δίκης διωχθέντες καὶ λικμηθέντες ὑπὸ πνεύματος δυνάμεώς σου ἀλλὰ πάντα μέτρῳ καὶ ἀριθμῷ καὶ σταθμῷ διέταξας
即使沒有這些，他們也能被公義所追逼，被禰能力的氣息所颺散，只用一口氣便倒下；然而禰卻按著度量、數目、和輕重安排了萬事。
Yes and without these might they have fallen by a single breath, Being pursued by Justice, and scattered abroad by the breath of your power. But by measure and number and weight you did order all things.
11:21
τὸ γὰρ μεγάλως ἰσχύειν σοι πάρεστιν πάντοτε καὶ κράτει βραχίονός σου τίς ἀντιστήσεται
因為大大施展能力，原是禰隨時都能的；禰膀臂的大力，有誰能抵擋呢？
For to be greatly strong is your at all times; And the might of your arm who shall withstand?
11:22
ὅτι ὡς ῥοπὴ ἐκ πλαστίγγων ὅλος ὁ κόσμος ἐναντίον σου καὶ ὡς ῥανὶς δρόσου ὀρθρινὴ κατελθοῦσα ἐπὶ γῆν
因為全世界在禰面前，如同天平上的一粒微塵，又如清晨降在地上的一滴露水。
Because the whole world before you is as a grain in a balance, And as a drop of dew that at morning comes down upon the earth.
11:23
ἐλεεῖς δὲ πάντας ὅτι πάντα δύνασαι καὶ παρορᾷς ἁμαρτήματα ἀνθρώπων εἰς μετάνοιαν
然而禰憐憫萬人，因為禰無所不能，又寬容世人的罪，為要叫他們悔改。
But you have mercy on all men, because you have power to do all things, And you overlookest the sins of men to the end they may repent.
11:24
ἀγαπᾷς γὰρ τὰ ὄντα πάντα καὶ οὐδὲν βδελύσσῃ ὧν ἐποίησας οὐδὲ γὰρ ἂν μισῶν τι κατεσκεύασας
因為禰愛一切所存有的，並不憎惡禰所造的任何物；因為禰若恨惡甚麼，斷不會造它。
For you love all things that are, And abhor none of the things which you did make; For never would you have formed anything if you did hate it.
11:25
πῶς δὲ διέμεινεν ἄν τι εἰ μὴ σὺ ἠθέλησας ἢ τὸ μὴ κληθὲν ὑπὸ σοῦ διετηρήθη
若不是禰的旨意，甚麼能存留呢？若非禰呼召，甚麼能得保全呢？
And how would anything have endured, except you had willed it? Or that which was not called by you, how would it have been preserved?
11:26
φείδῃ δὲ πάντων ὅτι σά ἐστιν δέσποτα φιλόψυχε
但禰愛惜萬物，因為它們都是禰的，主啊，禰這愛人性命的主宰。
But you spare all things, because they are your, O Soverign Lord, you lover of men’s lives;
