诗篇 78
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
追述 神的作為訓誨後世
亞薩的訓誨詩。
78 我的民哪！你們要留心聽我的教訓，
側耳聽我口中的言語。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）
2 我要開口用比喻，
把古時隱祕的事說出來，
3 就是我們所聽過所知道的，
也是我們的列祖告訴我們的，
4 我們不把這些事向他們的子孫隱瞞，
卻要把耶和華應得的讚美、他的能力，
和他所行的奇事，
都向後代的人述說。
5 他在雅各設立法度，
在以色列中制訂律法，
就是他吩咐我們的列祖，
去教訓他們的子孫的，
6 好使後代的人，包括將要出生的兒女，都可以知道；
他們也要起來，告訴他們的子孫，
7 使他們信靠 神，
不忘記 神的作為，
謹守他的誡命；
8 免得他們像他們的列祖，
成了頑梗悖逆的一代，
心不堅定的一代，
他們的心對 神不忠。
9 以法蓮的子孫，雖然備有弓箭，
在爭戰的日子，卻轉身逃走。
10 他們不謹守 神的約，
不肯遵行他的律法。
11 他們忘記了 神的作為，
和他顯給他們看的奇事。
12 他在埃及地，在瑣安的田野，
在他們列祖的眼前，行了奇事。
13 他把海分開，領他們走過去，
又使海水直立像一道堤壩。
14 白日他用雲彩，
夜間他用火光引導他們。
15 他在曠野使磐石裂開，
給他們水喝，多如深淵的水。
16 他使水從磐石中湧出來，
使水好像江河一般流下。
17 但他們仍然犯罪頂撞他，
在乾旱之地仍然悖逆至高者。
18 他們心裡試探 神，
隨著自己的慾望要求食物。
19 他們妄論 神，說：
“ 神可以在曠野擺設筵席嗎？
20 他雖曾擊打磐石，使水湧出來，
好像江河氾濫，
他還能賜糧食嗎？
他還能為自己的子民預備肉食嗎？”
21 因此耶和華聽見了，就大怒；
有烈火在雅各燒起，
有怒氣向以色列發作。
22 因為他們不相信 神，
不倚靠他的拯救。
23 然而，他吩咐天上的雲彩，
打開天上的門戶。
24 他降嗎哪給他們吃，
把天上的食物賜給他們。
25 於是人吃了天使的食物，
是 神賜下的食糧，使他們飽足。
26 他從天空颳起東風，
施能力領出南風。
27 他降肉食給他們，多如塵土；
又降飛鳥給他們，多如海沙。
28 他使飛鳥落在他們的營中，
在他們住處的四圍。
29 他們吃了，而且吃得很飽，
這樣， 神把他們所願的都賜給他們了。
30 他們還沒有因所願的滿足，
食物仍在他們口中的時候，
31 神的怒氣就向他們發作，
殺了他們中間最肥壯的人，
擊倒了以色列的年輕人。
32 雖然經歷了這一切，他們仍然犯罪；
儘管看見這些奇事，他們仍不相信。
33 所以 神使他們的日子在虛空中消逝，
使他們的歲月在驚恐中完結。
34 神擊殺他們的時候，他們就尋求他；
他們回轉過來，切切求問 神。
35 他們也想起 神是他們的磐石，
至高的 神是他們的救贖主。
36 但他們仍然用口欺騙他，
用舌頭向他說謊。
37 他們的心對他不堅定，
也不忠於和他所立的約。
38 他卻有憐憫，赦免罪孽，沒有把他們滅絕，
並且多次抑制自己的怒氣，
沒有完全宣洩他的烈怒。
39 他顧念他們不過是人，
是一陣吹去不再返回的風。
40 他們多少次在曠野悖逆他，
在沙漠使他擔憂；
41 他們再三試探 神，
使以色列的聖者憂傷。
42 他們忘記了他的能力（“他的能力”直譯是“他的手”），
就是他救贖他們脫離敵人的日子，
43 他怎樣在埃及顯神蹟，
在瑣安的田野行奇事。
44 他把他們的江河都變為血，
使他們不能喝河流的水。
45 他使成群的蒼蠅到他們中間來，吞吃他們；
又使青蛙來毀滅他們。
46 他把他們的農產交給蚱蜢，
把他們辛勞的收穫交給蝗蟲。
47 他用冰雹摧毀他們的葡萄樹，
用嚴霜凍壞他們的桑樹。
48 又把他們的牲畜交給冰雹，
把他們的群畜交給閃電。
49 他使猛烈的怒氣、忿怒、憤恨、患難，
好像一群降災的使者，臨到他們中間。
50 他為自己的怒氣修平了路，
不惜使他們死亡，
把他們的性命交給瘟疫。
51 他在埃及擊殺了所有的長子，
在含的帳棚中擊殺了他們強壯時生的頭胎子。
52 他卻把自己的子民領出來好像領羊群，
在曠野引導他們像引導群畜一樣。
53 他帶領他們平平安安地走過去，所以他們不懼怕；
海卻淹沒了他們的仇敵。
54 他領他們進入自己聖地的境界，
到他右手所得的這山地。
55 他在他們面前把外族人趕出去，
用繩子量地，分給他們作為產業，
又使以色列眾支派的人居住在自己的帳棚裡。
56 但他們仍然試探和悖逆至高的 神，
不謹守他的法則。
57 他們背信不忠，像他們的列祖一樣；
他們改變了，如同不可靠的弓。
58 因他們的邱壇，惹起他的怒氣，
因他們雕刻的偶像，激起他的憤恨。
59 神聽見就大怒，
完全棄絕了以色列。
60 他丟棄了在示羅的居所，
就是他在世人中間居住的帳棚。
61 他又把象徵他權能的約櫃交給人擄去，
把他的榮美交在敵人的手裡，
62 並且把自己的子民交給刀劍，
向自己的產業大發烈怒。
63 他們的青年被火吞滅，
他們的少女也聽不見結婚的喜歌。
64 他們的祭司倒在刀下，
他們的寡婦卻不能哀哭。
65 那時主好像從睡眠中醒過來，
如同勇士酒後清醒一樣。
66 他擊退了他的敵人，
使他們永遠蒙羞受辱。
67 他棄絕約瑟的帳棚，
不揀選以法蓮支派，
68 卻揀選了猶大支派，
他所愛的錫安山。
69 他建造了自己的聖所好像在高天之上，
又像他所建立永存的大地。
70 他揀選了自己的僕人大衛，
把他從羊圈中召出來；
71 他領他出來，使他不再跟著那些母羊，
卻要牧養他的子民雅各，
和他的產業以色列。
72 於是大衛以正直的心牧養他們，
靈巧地引導他們。
Psalm 78

Psalm 78
EasyEnglish Bible
Asaph wrote this special song.
God has been good to his people[a]
78 My people, listen to what I am teaching you.
Listen to the words that I speak.
2 I will tell you something to make you wise.
Then you will understand
things that happened long ago.
3 We have heard about these things
and we know them.
Our ancestors have told them to us,
4 and we will not hide them from our children.
We will tell our children and our grandchildren
why they should praise the Lord.
We will tell them about his strength,
and about the great things that he has done.
5 He gave his laws to Jacob's descendants,
the Israelite people.
He commanded our ancestors
to teach them to their children.
6 Then the children would know about them,
even the children still to be born.
When the time came,
they too would tell their children.
7 Then their family would trust in God.
They would not forget what God had done.
They would obey his commands.
8 So they would not be like their ancestors,
who turned against God.
Those people refused to obey God,
and they did not trust him to be their guide.
9 The soldiers of Ephraim had bows and arrows,
but they ran away when the battle started![b]
10 They did not obey the covenant
that God had made with them.
They refused to obey his laws.
11 They forgot about what he had done for them.
They forgot the miracles that he had shown them.
12 He did miracles for their ancestors to see,
in the region of Egypt that is called Zoan.
13 He cut the sea into two separate parts,
and he led them through it.
He made a path between two walls of water.[c]
14 He showed them the way with a cloud in the day
and with light from a fire all night.[d]
15 He broke rocks into pieces in the wilderness
so that his people had plenty of water.
Springs of water came from deep in the earth.
16 He caused streams to pour from the rocks
so that the waters ran like rivers.[e]
17 But his people continued to do bad things against him.
In the wilderness,
they turned against the Most High God.
18 They decided to test God,
to see what he would do.
They demanded to have the food that they liked best.
19 They spoke against God, and they said,
‘Can God give us food to eat here in the wilderness?
20 Yes, water did come out when he hit the rock.
There were streams of water that poured out like a river.
But can he also give us food to eat?
Can he supply meat for his people?’
21 When the Lord heard this,
he was very angry.
So he sent fire to punish his people.
He became very angry against the Israelites.
22 They did not trust God,
that he had the power to save them.
23 So God commanded the clouds high above
to give food to his people.
He caused the skies to open like a door.
24 He poured down manna like rain,
so that they could eat grain that came from heaven.[f]
25 In that way, people ate the special bread of angels!
God gave them all the food that they could eat.
26 Then God caused a wind to blow from the east.
He used his power to send a south wind too.
27 He caused meat to pour down on them,
like dust from the sky.
The birds covered all the ground
like sand on the shore of the sea.[g]
28 God made the birds fall near the tents
where his people were living.
29 They ate as much as they could eat.
Yes, God gave them what they had demanded!
30-31 But God became very angry with them,
even before they had finished eating.
While the food was still in their mouths,
he killed the strongest men among them.
Many of the best young Israelite men died.
32 Even when this happened,
the people continued to do bad things.
When God had done these miracles,
they still did not trust him to help them.
33 So he made their lives end quickly, like a breath.
They became very afraid.
34 When God killed some of them,
the other people turned to God.
They were sorry and they prayed to him.
35 They remembered that God
was their strong Rock.
They remembered that the Most High God
was their Redeemer.
36 But they deceived him with their words.
What they said to him was lies.
37 They did not really trust him.
They did not obey the covenant
that he had made with them.
38 But God was kind to them,
and he forgave them for their sins.
He did not destroy them.
Many times he was patient,
and he did not become angry with them.
39 He remembered that they were weak and human,
like a wind that blows away and does not return.
40 When the Israelite people were in the wilderness,
they often turned against God.
That caused God to be very sad.
41 Many times they tested God, the Holy One of Israel,
so that he was very upset.
42 They forgot about his great power,
and how he rescued them from their enemies.
43 He did powerful miracles in Egypt,
in the region of Zoan.
44 He caused the Egyptians' rivers to become blood,
so that they could not drink water from them.[h]
45 He sent large numbers of flies to bite them.[i]
He sent frogs that destroyed their land.[j]
46 He caused locusts to eat their crops,
and everything that grew in their fields.[k]
47 He destroyed their vines with hail.
He destroyed their fig trees with frost.
48 He sent hail to kill their cows.
He sent lightning to kill their other animals.[l]
49 He was so angry with them,
that he sent terrible things to punish them.
Great trouble came to them,
like an army of his angels that bring death.
50 Nothing could stop his anger.
He did not save them from death.
He let bad disease kill them.
51 He killed all the firstborn sons in Egypt.
The strongest men of Ham's descendants died.[m]
52 But God led his own people safely out of Egypt.
But took them through the wilderness,
like a shepherd leads his sheep.[n]
53 They were safe with him as their guide,
and they were not afraid.
But their enemies drowned in the sea.[o]
54 He brought his people to the edge of his holy land.
It was land with the mountain
that he had taken with his power.[p]
55 He chased away the nations that were living there.
He gave to each tribe their own piece of land,
so that Israel's tribes could live there.[q]
56 But the Israelites continued to test the Most High God,
and they turned against him.
They did not obey his commands.[r]
57 They turned away from him and they deceived him,
as their ancestors had done.
They were useless,
like a bow that would not shoot straight!
58 The places where they worshipped their idols
made God very angry.
59 God heard what they were doing,
and he became very angry.
He turned against the Israelite people.
60 He went away from his home at Shiloh.
That was the tent where he lived among people.[s]
61 He let Israel's enemies take away the Covenant Box,
that showed his power and his glory.[t]
62 He was so angry with his own people,
he let their enemies kill them in battle.
63 Fire killed their young men in war.
There was nobody for the young women to marry.
64 Their priests died in battle.
Their widows had no chance to weep.
65 Then the Lord woke up,
like someone had woken him from sleep.
He shouted loudly,
like a soldier who has drunk a lot of wine.
66 He chased his enemies away.
He caused them to be ashamed for ever.
67 He chose not to live among Joseph's descendants.
He did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68 Instead, he chose the tribe of Judah.
He chose Mount Zion,
the place which he loves.
69 There he built a temple for himself,
to be like his home in heaven.
He made it to be strong, like the earth itself,
so that it would always be there.
70 Also, he chose his servant, David.
He took David away from the fields,
71 so that he no longer took care of his father's sheep.
He became like a shepherd,
to lead his people, Jacob's descendants.
He ruled the people that belonged to God,
the Israelite people.[u]
72 David took care of them with an honest heart.
He was wise in the way that he led them.

Psalm 78
New International Version
Psalm 78
A maskil[a] of Asaph.
1 My people, hear my teaching;(A)
listen to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth with a parable;(B)
I will utter hidden things, things from of old—
3 things we have heard and known,
things our ancestors have told us.(C)
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;(D)
we will tell the next generation(E)
the praiseworthy deeds(F) of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders(G) he has done.
5 He decreed statutes(H) for Jacob(I)
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,(J)
and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget(K) his deeds
but would keep his commands.(L)
8 They would not be like their ancestors(M)—
a stubborn(N) and rebellious(O) generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
9 The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,(P)
turned back on the day of battle;(Q)
10 they did not keep God’s covenant(R)
and refused to live by his law.(S)
11 They forgot what he had done,(T)
the wonders he had shown them.
12 He did miracles(U) in the sight of their ancestors
in the land of Egypt,(V) in the region of Zoan.(W)
13 He divided the sea(X) and led them through;
he made the water stand up like a wall.(Y)
14 He guided them with the cloud by day
and with light from the fire all night.(Z)
15 He split the rocks(AA) in the wilderness
and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag
and made water flow down like rivers.
17 But they continued to sin(AB) against him,
rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(AC)
by demanding the food they craved.(AD)
19 They spoke against God;(AE)
they said, “Can God really
spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
and water gushed out,(AF)
streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
Can he supply meat(AG) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
his fire broke out(AH) against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
or trust(AI) in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;(AJ)
24 he rained down manna(AK) for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Human beings ate the bread of angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
26 He let loose the east wind(AL) from the heavens
and by his power made the south wind blow.
27 He rained meat down on them like dust,
birds(AM) like sand on the seashore.
28 He made them come down inside their camp,
all around their tents.
29 They ate till they were gorged—(AN)
he had given them what they craved.
30 But before they turned from what they craved,
even while the food was still in their mouths,(AO)
31 God’s anger rose against them;
he put to death the sturdiest(AP) among them,
cutting down the young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;(AQ)
in spite of his wonders,(AR) they did not believe.(AS)
33 So he ended their days in futility(AT)
and their years in terror.
34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek(AU) him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,(AV)
that God Most High was their Redeemer.(AW)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(AX)
lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(AY) to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;(AZ)
he forgave(BA) their iniquities(BB)
and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger(BC)
and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,(BD)
a passing breeze(BE) that does not return.
40 How often they rebelled(BF) against him in the wilderness(BG)
and grieved him(BH) in the wasteland!
41 Again and again they put God to the test;(BI)
they vexed the Holy One of Israel.(BJ)
42 They did not remember(BK) his power—
the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,(BL)
43 the day he displayed his signs(BM) in Egypt,
his wonders(BN) in the region of Zoan.
44 He turned their river into blood;(BO)
they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies(BP) that devoured them,
and frogs(BQ) that devastated them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,(BR)
their produce to the locust.(BS)
47 He destroyed their vines with hail(BT)
and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail,
their livestock(BU) to bolts of lightning.
49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,(BV)
his wrath, indignation and hostility—
a band of destroying angels.(BW)
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death
but gave them over to the plague.
51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,(BX)
the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.(BY)
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;(BZ)
he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
53 He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
but the sea engulfed(CA) their enemies.(CB)
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
to the hill country his right hand(CC) had taken.
55 He drove out nations(CD) before them
and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;(CE)
he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
56 But they put God to the test
and rebelled against the Most High;
they did not keep his statutes.
57 Like their ancestors(CF) they were disloyal and faithless,
as unreliable as a faulty bow.(CG)
58 They angered him(CH) with their high places;(CI)
they aroused his jealousy with their idols.(CJ)
59 When God heard(CK) them, he was furious;(CL)
he rejected Israel(CM) completely.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,(CN)
the tent he had set up among humans.(CO)
61 He sent the ark of his might(CP) into captivity,(CQ)
his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62 He gave his people over to the sword;(CR)
he was furious with his inheritance.(CS)
63 Fire consumed(CT) their young men,
and their young women had no wedding songs;(CU)
64 their priests were put to the sword,(CV)
and their widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,(CW)
as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66 He beat back his enemies;
he put them to everlasting shame.(CX)
67 Then he rejected the tents of Joseph,
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;(CY)
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,(CZ)
Mount Zion,(DA) which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary(DB) like the heights,
like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David(DC) his servant
and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep(DD) he brought him
to be the shepherd(DE) of his people Jacob,
of Israel his inheritance.
72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;(DF)
with skillful hands he led them.
