2:1
εἶπον γὰρ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς λογισάμενοι οὐκ ὀρθῶς ὀλίγος ἐστὶν καὶ λυπηρὸς ὁ βίος ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τελευτῇ ἀνθρώπου καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώσθη ὁ ἀναλύσας ἐξ ᾅδου
因為他們心裡推想不正,彼此說:我們的生命短促又愁苦,人到了盡頭便無醫治,也從未有人知道誰能從陰間得釋放。
For they said within themselves, reasoning not aright, Short and sorrowful is our life; And there is no healing when a man comes to his end, And none was ever known that gave release from Hades.
2:2
ὅτι αὐτοσχεδίως ἐγενήθημεν καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐσόμεθα ὡς οὐχ ὑπάρξαντες ὅτι καπνὸς ἡ πνοὴ ἐν ῥισὶν ἡμῶν καὶ ὁ λόγος σπινθὴρ ἐν κινήσει καρδίας ἡμῶν
我們是偶然而生,此後也必如同未曾存在;因為我們鼻中的氣息不過是煙,思想不過是心臟跳動時的火花,
Because by mere chance were we born, And hereafter we will be as though we had never been: Because the breath in our nostrils is smoke, And while our heart beats reason is a spark,
2:3
οὗ σβεσθέντος τέφρα ἀποβήσεται τὸ σῶμα καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα διαχυθήσεται ὡς χαῦνος ἀήρ
火花一熄滅,身體就化為灰燼,靈也消散如同稀薄的空氣。
Which being extinguished, the body will be turned into ashes, And the spirit will be dispersed as thin air;
2:4
καὶ τὸ ὄνομα ἡμῶν ἐπιλησθήσεται ἐν χρόνῳ καὶ οὐθεὶς μνημονεύσει τῶν ἔργων ἡμῶν καὶ παρελεύσεται ὁ βίος ἡμῶν ὡς ἴχνη νεφέλης καὶ ὡς ὁμίχλη διασκεδασθήσεται διωχθεῖσα ὑπὸ ἀκτίνων ἡλίου καὶ ὑπὸ θερμότητος αὐτοῦ βαρυνθεῖσα
我們的名字必隨時間被人遺忘,無人記念我們所行的;我們的生命必如雲彩的痕跡過去,又如薄霧被日光的光線驅散、被熱氣消滅而散開。
And our name will be forgotten in time, And no man will remember our works; And our life will pass away as the traces of a cloud, And will be scattered as is a mist, When it is chased by the beams of the sun, And overcome by the heat thereof.
2:5
σκιᾶς γὰρ πάροδος ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀναποδισμὸς τῆς τελευτῆς ἡμῶν ὅτι κατεσφραγίσθη καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀναστρέφει
因為我們的歲月不過是影兒的飄過,我們的死期無可挽回,因為它已被封定,無人能使它回轉。
For our alloted time is the passing of a shadow, And our end retreats not; Because it is fast sealed, and none turns it back.
2:6
δεῦτε οὖν καὶ ἀπολαύσωμεν τῶν ὄντων ἀγαθῶν καὶ χρησώμεθα τῇ κτίσει ὡς ἐν νεότητι σπουδαίως
來吧,我們要趁現今享用美物,趁年少殷勤享用受造之物。
Come therefore and let us enjoy the good things that now are; And let us use the creation with all our soul as youth’s possession.
2:7
οἴνου πολυτελοῦς καὶ μύρων πλησθῶμεν καὶ μὴ παροδευσάτω ἡμᾶς ἄνθος ἔαρος
我們要飽享貴重的美酒和香膏,不可錯過春天的任何花朵。
Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and perfumes; And let no flower of spring pass us by:
2:8
στεψώμεθα ῥόδων κάλυξιν πρὶν ἢ μαρανθῆναι
我們要在玫瑰花苞凋謝以前,用它作冠冕戴在頭上。
Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
2:9
μηδεὶς ἡμῶν ἄμοιρος ἔστω τῆς ἡμετέρας ἀγερωχίας πανταχῇ καταλίπωμεν σύμβολα τῆς εὐφροσύνης ὅτι αὕτη ἡ μερὶς ἡμῶν καὶ ὁ κλῆρος οὗτος
我們中間不可有人不參與我們的歡宴;要到處留下我們歡樂的記號,因為這是我們的分,這是我們的命運。
Let none of us go without his share in our proud revelry: Everywhere let us leave tokens of our mirth: Because this is our portion, and our lot is this.
2:10
καταδυναστεύσωμεν πένητα δίκαιον μὴ φεισώμεθα χήρας μηδὲ πρεσβύτου ἐντραπῶμεν πολιὰς πολυχρονίους
我們要欺壓貧窮的義人,不要憐惜寡婦,也不要敬重年高白髮的老人。
Let us oppress the righteous poor; Let us not spare the widow, Nor reverence the hairs of the old man gray for length of years.
2:11
ἔστω δὲ ἡμῶν ἡ ἰσχὺς νόμος τῆς δικαιοσύνης τὸ γὰρ ἀσθενὲς ἄχρηστον ἐλέγχεται
我們的力量就當作公義的法則,因為軟弱被看為無用。
But let our strength be to us a law of righteousness; For that which is weak is found to be of no service.
2:12
ἐνεδρεύσωμεν τὸν δίκαιον ὅτι δύσχρηστος ἡμῖν ἐστιν καὶ ἐναντιοῦται τοῖς ἔργοις ἡμῶν καὶ ὀνειδίζει ἡμῖν ἁμαρτήματα νόμου καὶ ἐπιφημίζει ἡμῖν ἁμαρτήματα παιδείας ἡμῶν
我們要埋伏害那義人,因為他妨礙我們,又與我們所行的相違,責備我們違犯律法的罪,控告我們背棄所受教訓的過錯。
But let us lie in wait for the righteous man, Because he is of disservice to us, And is contrary to our works, And upbraids us with sins against the law, And lays to our charge sins against our discipline.
2:13
ἐπαγγέλλεται γνῶσιν ἔχειν θεοῦ καὶ παῖδα κυρίου ἑαυτὸν ὀνομάζει
他自稱有神的知識,又稱自己為主的僕人。
He professes to have knowledge of God, And names himself servant of the Lord.
2:14
ἐγένετο ἡμῖν εἰς ἔλεγχον ἐννοιῶν ἡμῶν βαρύς ἐστιν ἡμῖν καὶ βλεπόμενος
他成了責備我們思念的人,連看見他都使我們覺得沉重。
He became to us a reproof of our thoughts.
2:15
ὅτι ἀνόμοιος τοῖς ἄλλοις ὁ βίος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξηλλαγμέναι αἱ τρίβοι αὐτοῦ
因為他的生活與別人不同,他的道路也是奇異的。
He is grievous to us even to behold, Because his life is unlike other men’s, And his paths are of strange fashion.
2:16
εἰς κίβδηλον ἐλογίσθημεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀπέχεται τῶν ὁδῶν ἡμῶν ὡς ἀπὸ ἀκαθαρσιῶν μακαρίζει ἔσχατα δικαίων καὶ ἀλαζονεύεται πατέρα θεόν
我們被他看為虛假無用的,他遠離我們的道路如同遠離污穢;他稱義人的結局為有福,又誇口說神是他的父。
We were accounted of him as worthless metal, And he abstains from our ways as from uncleannesses. The latter end of the righteous he calls happy; And he vaunts that God is his father.
2:17
ἴδωμεν εἰ οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ ἀληθεῖς καὶ πειράσωμεν τὰ ἐν ἐκβάσει αὐτοῦ
我們倒要看看他的話是否真實,試驗他結局所遭遇的事。
Let us see if his words be true, And let us try what shall befall in the ending of his life.
2:18
εἰ γάρ ἐστιν ὁ δίκαιος υἱὸς θεοῦ ἀντιλήμψεται αὐτοῦ καὶ ῥύσεται αὐτὸν ἐκ χειρὸς ἀνθεστηκότων
因為那義人若是神的兒子,神必扶助他,救他脫離敵對者的手。
For if the righteous man is God’s son, he will uphold him, And he will deliver him out of the hand of his adversaries.
2:19
ὕβρει καὶ βασάνῳ ἐτάσωμεν αὐτόν ἵνα γνῶμεν τὴν ἐπιείκειαν αὐτοῦ καὶ δοκιμάσωμεν τὴν ἀνεξικακίαν αὐτοῦ
我們要用凌辱和酷刑試驗他,好知道他的溫良,察驗他受冤屈時的忍耐。
With outrage and torture let us put him to the test, That we may learn his gentleness, And may prove his patience under wrong.
2:20
θανάτῳ ἀσχήμονι καταδικάσωμεν αὐτόν ἔσται γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἐπισκοπὴ ἐκ λόγων αὐτοῦ
我們要定他羞辱的死罪,因為照他所說的,他必蒙看顧。
Let us condemn him to a shameful death; For he will be visited according to his words.
2:21
ταῦτα ἐλογίσαντο καὶ ἐπλανήθησαν ἀπετύφλωσεν γὰρ αὐτοὺς ἡ κακία αὐτῶν
他們這樣推想,卻是錯了,因為他們的邪惡矇蔽了他們,
Thus reasoned they, and they were led astray; For their wickedness blinded them,
2:22
καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν μυστήρια θεοῦ οὐδὲ μισθὸν ἤλπισαν ὁσιότητος οὐδὲ ἔκριναν γέρας ψυχῶν ἀμώμων
他們不認識神的奧祕,不指望聖潔的賞賜,也不認為無瑕之人的靈魂有報償。
And they knew not the mysteries of God, Neither hoped they for wages of holiness, Nor did they judge that there is a prize for blameless souls.
2:23
ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἔκτισεν τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐπ’ ἀφθαρσίᾳ καὶ εἰκόνα τῆς ἰδίας ἀϊδιότητος ἐποίησεν αὐτόν
因為神創造人是為了不朽,使他成為自己永恆本性的形像。
Because God created man for incorruption, And made him an image of his own proper being;
2:24
φθόνῳ δὲ διαβόλου θάνατος εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον πειράζουσιν δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ τῆς ἐκείνου μερίδος ὄντες
然而因魔鬼的嫉妒,死亡就進入了世界,凡屬它那一分的人都要經歷它。
But by the envy of the devil death entered into the world, And those who are of his portion make trial thereof.
