诗篇 106
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱頌 神恩待悖逆的子民(A)
106 你們要讚美耶和華。
你們要稱謝耶和華，因為他是美善的；
他的慈愛永遠長存。
2 誰能述說耶和華大能的作為，
誰能說盡讚美他的話？
3 謹守公正，常行公義的人，
都是有福的。
4 耶和華啊！你恩待你子民的時候，
求你記念我；
你拯救他們的時候，求你眷念我；
5 使我得見你選民的福樂，
因你國民的歡樂而歡樂，
與你的產業一同誇耀。
6 我們和我們的列祖都犯了罪，
我們作了孽，也行了惡。
7 我們的列祖在埃及的時候，
不明白你的奇事，
也不記念你豐盛的慈愛，
反倒在紅海的海邊悖逆了你。
8 但他因自己的名的緣故拯救他們，
為要彰顯他的大能。
9 他斥責紅海，海就乾了；
他領他們走過海底，像經過曠野一樣。
10 他拯救他們脫離憎恨他們的人的手，
從仇敵的手中救贖了他們。
11 海水淹沒了他們的敵人，
連一個也沒有留下。
12 那時他們才相信他的話，
唱歌讚美他。
13 可是他們很快就忘記了他的作為，
不仰望他的意旨，
14 反而在曠野大起貪慾，
在沙漠試探 神。
15 神把他們所求的賜給他們，
卻使災病臨到他們身上。
16 他們在營中嫉妒摩西，
以及歸耶和華為聖的亞倫。
17 於是地裂開，吞下了大坍，
把亞比蘭一夥的人也掩埋了。
18 有火在他們的黨羽中燃燒起來，
烈燄焚毀了惡人。
19 他們在何烈山做了牛犢，
敬拜鑄成的偶像。
20 這樣，他們用吃草的牛的像，
代替了他們的榮耀的 神。
21 他們竟忘記了拯救他們的 神；
他曾在埃及行了大事，
22 在含地行了奇事，在紅海邊行了可畏可懼的事。
23 所以他說要滅絕他們，
不是有他揀選的摩西，
在他面前站在破口上，
使他的怒氣轉消，恐怕他早已毀滅他們了。
24 他們又輕視那美地，
不信他的應許。
25 他們在自己的帳棚裡發怨言，
不聽從耶和華的話。
26 所以他對他們起誓，
必使他們倒在曠野，
27 使他們的後裔四散在萬國中，
使他們分散在各地。
28 他們又歸附巴力．毘珥，
吃了祭過死神的祭物。
29 他們的行為觸怒了耶和華，
於是有瘟疫在他們中間發生。
30 那時非尼哈站起來，執行刑罰，
瘟疫才止息。
31 這就算為他的義，
世世代代直到永遠。
32 他們在米利巴水邊惹耶和華發怒，
以致摩西因他們的緣故也受了懲罰。
33 因為他們抗拒 神的靈（“他們抗拒 神的靈”或譯：“他們激動摩西的心”），
摩西用嘴說出冒失的話。
34 他們沒有照著耶和華吩咐他們的，
滅絕外族的人民，
35 反而和外族人混居雜處，
學習他們的風俗習慣。
36 他們又事奉外族人的偶像，
這就成了他們的網羅。
37 他們把自己的兒女祭祀鬼魔。
38 他們流了無辜人的血，
就是他們自己兒女的血，
把他們祭祀迦南的偶像；
那地就被血污穢了。
39 這樣，他們因自己所作的成了不潔，
他們的行為使他們犯了邪淫。
40 所以耶和華的怒氣向他的子民發作；
他厭惡自己的產業，
41 把他們交在外族人的手裡，
恨惡他們的人就管轄他們。
42 他們的仇敵壓迫他們，
他們就屈服在仇敵的手下。
43 神曾多次搭救他們，
他們卻故意悖逆，
以致因自己的罪孽降為卑微。
44 可是他聽到了他們哀叫的時候，
就垂顧他們的苦難。
45 他為他們的緣故記念他自己的約，
照著他豐盛的慈愛回心轉意。
46 他又使他們在所有擄掠他們的人面前，
得蒙憐恤。
47 耶和華我們的 神啊！求你拯救我們，
把我們從萬國中招聚回來，
我們好稱謝你的聖名，
以讚美你為誇耀。
48 耶和華以色列的 神是應當稱頌的，
從永遠到永遠。
願眾民都說：“阿們。”
你們要讚美耶和華。
詩篇 106
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
上帝恩待祂的子民(A)
106 你們要讚美耶和華！
要稱謝耶和華，
因為祂是美善的，
祂的慈愛永遠長存！
2 誰能述說耶和華的大能作為？
誰能道盡祂當受讚美之處？
3 那些行事公正，
持守公義的人有福了。
4 耶和華啊！
你恩待你子民的時候，
求你別忘了我；
你拯救他們的時候，
求你幫助我，
5 使我看到你所揀選的人繁榮昌盛，
與他們同樂，
與你的子民一同誇耀。
6 我們跟祖先一樣也犯了罪，
行事邪惡。
7 我們祖先在埃及漠視你行的神蹟，
忘記你向他們屢施慈愛，
在紅海邊反叛你。
8 但祂為了自己的名拯救了他們，
以彰顯祂的大能。
9 祂斥責紅海，海就乾了，
祂帶領他們走過深淵，
如履乾地。
10 祂救他們逃脫敵人的追趕，
從仇敵的手中救贖了他們。
11 海水淹沒了敵軍，
沒有一人生還。
12 那時他們才相信祂的話，
歌唱讚美祂。
13 然而，他們很快忘了祂的作為，
不願等候祂的引導。
14 他們在曠野大起貪念，
試探上帝。
15 祂滿足了他們的要求，
但在他們當中降下了瘟疫。
16 他們還在營中嫉妒摩西和耶和華揀選為祭司的亞倫。
17 於是大地裂開，
吞沒了大坍、亞比蘭和他們的家人。
18 火在他們的黨羽中燒起，
消滅了這些惡人。
19 他們在何烈山鑄造牛犢，祭拜偶像，
20 他們把榮耀的上帝變成了吃草之牛的鑄像。
21 他們忘記了拯救他們的上帝，
祂曾在埃及行奇事，
22 在含地行神蹟，
在紅海邊行可畏的事。
23 因此祂說要消滅他們。
若不是祂所揀選的摩西為他們求情，
祂早已在烈怒中毀滅了他們。
24 他們藐視那佳美之地，
不相信祂的應許。
25 他們在帳篷裡發怨言，
不聽從祂的命令。
26 因此，祂舉手起誓要使他們倒斃在曠野，
27 使他們的後代分散到各族各方去。
28 他們在毗珥祭拜巴力，
吃獻給假神的祭物。
29 他們的所作所為觸怒耶和華，
以致瘟疫降在他們中間，
30 直到非尼哈起來懲罰罪人，
瘟疫才停止。
31 這就是他的義行，世代永存。
32 他們在米利巴泉邊惹耶和華發怒，
連累了摩西。
33 因為他們惹摩西發怒，
以致他說了魯莽的話。
34 他們沒有照耶和華的命令消滅外族人，
35 反倒與他們混居，
仿效他們的習俗，
36 拜他們的神像，陷入網羅。
37 他們把自己的兒女當祭物獻給鬼魔，
38 他們把自己的兒女獻給迦南的神像作祭物，
流他們兒女無辜的血，
玷污了那地方。
39 他們的行為玷污了自己，
使自己淪為淫婦。
40 耶和華因此向祂的子民發怒，
厭惡他們，
41 使他們落在列邦的手中，
受敵人的轄制。
42 他們的敵人壓迫他們，
奴役他們。
43 祂多次拯救他們，
他們卻執意背叛，
陷入罪中不能自拔。
44 但祂聽見他們在苦難中呼求時，
仍然眷顧他們。
45 祂沒有忘記與他們立的約，
因祂偉大無比的愛而憐憫他們。
46 祂使擄掠他們的人憐憫他們。
47 我們的上帝耶和華啊，
求你拯救我們，
從各國招聚我們，
使我們可以稱謝你的聖名，
歡然讚美你。
48 以色列的上帝耶和華永永遠遠當受稱頌。
願萬民都說：「阿們！」
你們要讚美耶和華！
Psalm 106
Amplified Bible
Israel’s Rebelliousness and the Lord’s Deliverances.
106 Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever!(A)
2
Who can put into words the mighty deeds of the Lord?
Or who can proclaim all His praise [that is due Him]?
3
Blessed are those who observe justice [by honoring God’s precepts],
Who practice righteousness at all times.
4
Remember me, O Lord, when You favor Your people.
Visit me with Your salvation [when You rescue them],
5
That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones,
That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may glory with Your inheritance.
6
We have sinned like our fathers;
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.(B)
7
Our fathers in Egypt did not understand nor appreciate Your miracles;
They did not remember the abundance of Your mercies nor imprint Your lovingkindnesses on their hearts,
But they were rebellious at the sea, at the [a]Red Sea.(C)
8
Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,
That He might make His [supreme] power known.
9
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;
And He led them through the depths as through a pasture.(D)
10
So He saved them from the hand of the one that hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy.(E)
11
And the waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left.(F)
12
Then Israel believed in [the validity of] His words;
They sang His praise.
13
But they quickly forgot His works;
They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them],
14
But lusted intensely in the wilderness
And tempted God [with their insistent desires] in the desert.(G)
15
So He gave them their request,
But sent a wasting disease among them.(H)
16
They envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the Lord,(I)
17
Therefore the earth opened and swallowed Dathan,
And engulfed the company of Abiram.(J)
18
And a fire broke out in their company;
The flame consumed the wicked.(K)
19
They made a calf in Horeb (Sinai)
And worshiped a cast image.(L)
20
Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.
21
They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done such great things in Egypt,
22
Wonders in the land of Ham,
Awesome things at the Red Sea.
23
Therefore He said He would destroy them,
[And He would have done so] had not Moses, His chosen one, stepped into the gap before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them.(M)
24
Then they despised the pleasant land [of Canaan];
They did not believe in His word nor rely on it,
25
But they sulked and complained in their tents;
They did not listen to the voice of the Lord.
26
Therefore He lifted up His hand [swearing] to them,
That He would cause them to fall in the wilderness,
27
And that He would cast out their descendants among the nations
And scatter them in the lands [of the earth].
28
They joined themselves also to [the idol] Baal of Peor,
And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
29
Thus they provoked Him to anger with their practices,
And a plague broke out among them.
30
Then Phinehas [the priest] stood up and [b]interceded,
And so the plague was halted.(N)
31
And that was credited to him for righteousness,
To all generations forever.
32
They provoked Him to anger at the waters of [c]Meribah,
So that it went hard with Moses on their account;(O)
33
Because they were rebellious against His Spirit,
Moses spoke recklessly with his lips.
34
They did not destroy the [pagan] peoples [in Canaan],
As the Lord commanded them,
35
But they mingled with the [idolatrous] nations
And learned their ways,
36
And served their idols,
Which became a [dreadful] snare to them.
37
They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons(P)
38
And shed innocent blood,
Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was polluted with their blood.
39
In this way they became unclean in their practices;
They played the prostitute in their own deeds [by giving their worship, which belongs to God alone, to other “gods”].
40
Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against His people
And He detested His own [d]inheritance.(Q)
41
He gave them into the hands of the nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
42
Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were subdued under the [powerful] hand of their enemies.
43
Many times He rescued them;
But they were rebellious in their counsel,
And sank down in their wickedness.
44
Nevertheless He looked [sympathetically] at their distress
When He heard their cry;
45
And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him],
46
He also made them objects of compassion
Among those who had carried them away captive.(R)
47
Save us, O Lord our God,
And gather us from among the nations,
That we may give thanks to Your holy name
And glory in praising You.
48
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
And let all the people say, “Amen.”
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)(S)
Footnotes
- Psalm 106:7 Lit Sea of Reeds; and so throughout.
- Psalm 106:30 The exact meaning of the Hebrew here has been debated since ancient times. The term interceded probably is best because it could refer to Phinehas’ intervention by executing the guilty couple (Num 25:7f), or to his interceding through prayer in behalf of Israel. No such prayer is recorded, but it is certainly possible that Phinehas prayed for relief before or after the execution. The ancient rabbis mostly understood the intercession as a prayer, but some of them took the meaning of the Hebrew to be that Phinehas interceded essentially by arguing with God as to whether it was fair to destroy so many people for the sins of two.
