诗篇 78
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
述选民违逆及神恩导
78 亚萨的训诲诗。
1 我的民哪，你们要留心听我的训诲，侧耳听我口中的话。
2 我要开口说比喻，我要说出古时的谜语，
3 是我们所听见所知道的，也是我们的祖宗告诉我们的。
4 我们不将这些事向他们的子孙隐瞒，要将耶和华的美德和他的能力，并他奇妙的作为，述说给后代听。
5 因为他在雅各中立法度，在以色列中设律法，是他吩咐我们祖宗要传给子孙的，
6 使将要生的后代子孙可以晓得。他们也要起来告诉他们的子孙，
7 好叫他们仰望神，不忘记神的作为，唯要守他的命令，
8 不要像他们的祖宗，是顽梗悖逆居心不正之辈，向着神心不诚实。
9 以法莲的子孙带着兵器拿着弓，临阵之日转身退后。
10 他们不遵守神的约，不肯照他的律法行。
11 又忘记他所行的，和他显给他们奇妙的作为。
12 他在埃及地，在琐安田，在他们祖宗的眼前，施行奇事。
13 他将海分裂，使他们过去，又叫水立起如垒。
14 他白日用云彩，终夜用火光，引导他们。
15 他在旷野分裂磐石，多多地给他们水喝，如从深渊而出。
16 他使水从磐石涌出，叫水如江河下流。
17 他们却仍旧得罪他，在干燥之地悖逆至高者。
18 他们心中试探神，随自己所欲的求食物，
19 并且妄论神说：“神在旷野岂能摆设筵席吗？
20 他曾击打磐石，使水涌出成了江河，他还能赐粮食吗？还能为他的百姓预备肉吗？”
21 所以耶和华听见就发怒，有烈火向雅各烧起，有怒气向以色列上腾。
22 因为他们不信服神，不倚赖他的救恩。
23 他却吩咐天空，又敞开天上的门，
24 降吗哪像雨给他们吃，将天上的粮食赐给他们。
25 各人[a]吃大能者的食物，他赐下粮食，使他们饱足。
26 他领东风起在天空，又用能力引了南风来。
27 他降肉像雨在他们当中，多如尘土，又降飞鸟，多如海沙，
28 落在他们的营中，在他们住处的四面。
29 他们吃了，而且饱足，这样就随了他们所欲的。
30 他们贪而无厌，食物还在他们口中的时候，
31 神的怒气就向他们上腾，杀了他们内中的肥壮人，打倒以色列的少年人。
32 虽是这样，他们仍旧犯罪，不信他奇妙的作为。
33 因此他叫他们的日子全归虚空，叫他们的年岁尽属惊恐。
34 他杀他们的时候，他们才求问他，回心转意，切切地寻求神。
35 他们也追念神是他们的磐石，至高的神是他们的救赎主。
36 他们却用口谄媚他，用舌向他说谎。
37 因他们的心向他不正，在他的约上也不忠心。
38 但他有怜悯，赦免他们的罪孽，不灭绝他们，而且屡次消他的怒气，不发尽他的愤怒。
39 他想到他们不过是血气，是一阵去而不返的风。
40 他们在旷野悖逆他，在荒地叫他担忧，何其多呢！
41 他们再三试探神，惹动以色列的圣者。
42 他们不追念他的能力[b]和赎他们脱离敌人的日子。
43 他怎样在埃及地显神迹，在琐安田显奇事，
44 把他们的江河并河汊的水都变为血，使他们不能喝。
45 他叫苍蝇成群落在他们当中，嘬尽他们，又叫青蛙灭了他们；
46 把他们的土产交给蚂蚱，把他们辛苦得来的交给蝗虫。
47 他降冰雹打坏他们的葡萄树，下严霜打坏他们的桑树；
48 又把他们的牲畜交给冰雹，把他们的群畜交给闪电。
49 他使猛烈的怒气和愤怒、恼恨、苦难成了一群降灾的使者，临到他们。
50 他为自己的怒气修平了路，将他们交给瘟疫，使他们死亡。
51 在埃及击杀一切长子，在含的帐篷中击杀他们强壮时头生的。
52 他却领出自己的民如羊，在旷野引他们如羊群。
53 他领他们稳稳妥妥的，使他们不致害怕，海却淹没他们的仇敌。
54 他带他们到自己圣地的边界，到他右手所得的这山地。
55 他在他们面前赶出外邦人，用绳子将外邦的地量给他们为业，叫以色列支派的人住在他们的帐篷里。
56 他们仍旧试探、悖逆至高的神，不守他的法度，
57 反倒退后，行诡诈，像他们的祖宗一样，他们改变如同翻背的弓。
58 因他们的丘坛惹了他的怒气，因他们雕刻的偶像触动他的愤恨。
59 神听见就发怒，极其憎恶以色列人。
60 甚至他离弃示罗的帐幕，就是他在人间所搭的帐篷；
61 又将他的约柜[c]交于人掳去，将他的荣耀交在敌人手中。
62 并将他的百姓交于刀剑，向他的产业发怒。
63 少年人被火烧灭，处女也无喜歌。
64 祭司倒在刀下，寡妇却不哀哭。
65 那时主像世人睡醒，像勇士饮酒呼喊。
66 他就打退了他的敌人，叫他们永蒙羞辱。
67 并且他弃掉约瑟的帐篷，不拣选以法莲支派，
68 却拣选犹大支派，他所喜爱的锡安山，
69 盖造他的圣所好像高峰，又像他建立永存之地。
70 又拣选他的仆人大卫，从羊圈中将他召来，
71 叫他不再跟从那些带奶的母羊，为要牧养自己的百姓雅各和自己的产业以色列。
72 于是他按心中的纯正牧养他们，用手中的巧妙引导他们。
Psalm 78
International Children’s Bible
God Saved Israel from Egypt
A maskil of Asaph.
78 My people, listen to my teaching.
Listen to what I say.
2 I will speak using stories.
I will tell things that have been secret since long ago.
3 We have heard them and know them.
Our fathers told them to us.
4 We will not keep them from our children.
We will tell those who come later
about the praises of the Lord.
We will tell about his power
and the miracles he has done.
5 The Lord made an agreement with Jacob.
He gave the teachings to Israel.
And he commanded our ancestors
to teach them to their children.
6 Then their children would know them,
even their children not yet born.
And they would tell their children.
7 So they would all trust God.
They would not forget what God had done.
Instead, they would obey his commands.
8 They would not be like their ancestors
who were stubborn and disobedient.
Their hearts were not loyal to God.
They were not true to him.
9 The men of Ephraim had bows for weapons.
But they ran away on the day of battle.
10 They didn’t keep their agreement with God.
They refused to live by his teachings.
11 They forgot what he had done
and the miracles he had shown them.
12 He did miracles while their ancestors watched,
in the fields of Zoan in Egypt.
13 He divided the Red Sea and led them through.
He made the water stand up like a wall.
14 He led them with a cloud by day.
And he led them at night by the light of a fire.
15 He split the rocks in the desert.
And he gave them much water, as if it were from the deep ocean.
16 He brought streams out of the rock.
The water flowed down like rivers.
17 But the people continued to sin against him.
In the desert they turned against God Most High.
18 They decided to test God
by asking for the food they wanted.
19 Then they spoke against God.
They said, “Can God prepare food in the desert?
20 When he hit the rock, water poured out.
Rivers flowed down.
But can he give us bread also?
Will he provide his people with meat?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was very angry.
His anger was like fire to the people of Jacob.
His anger grew against the people of Israel.
22 They had not believed God.
They had not trusted him to save them.
23 But he gave a command to the clouds above.
The doors of heaven opened.
24 He rained manna down on them to eat.
He gave them grain from heaven.
25 So they ate the bread of angels.
He sent them all the food they could eat.
26 He sent the east wind from heaven.
He led the south wind by his power.
27 He rained meat on them like dust.
The birds were as many as the sand of the sea.
28 He made the birds fall inside the camp,
all around the tents.
29 So the people ate and became very full.
God had given them what they wanted.
30 While they were still eating,
and while the food was still in their mouths,
31 God became angry with them.
He killed some of the healthiest of them.
He struck down the best young men of Israel.
32 But they kept on sinning.
They did not believe even with the miracles.
33 So he ended their days without meaning
and their years in terror.
34 Anytime he killed them, some would look to him for help.
They would come back to God and follow him.
35 They would remember that God was their Rock,
that God Most High had saved them.
36 But their words were false.
Their tongues lied to him.
37 Their hearts were not really loyal to God.
They did not keep his agreement.
38 Still God was merciful.
He forgave their sins.
He did not destroy them.
Many times he held back his anger.
He did not stir up all his anger.
39 He remembered that they were only human.
They were like a wind that blows and does not come back.
40 They turned against God so often in the desert!
There they made him very sad.
41 Again and again they tested God.
They brought pain to the Holy One of Israel.
42 They did not remember his power
or the time he saved them from the enemy.
43 They forgot the signs he did in Egypt
and his miracles in the fields of Zoan.
44 He turned the rivers to blood.
So no one could drink the water.
45 He sent flies that bit the people.
He sent frogs that destroyed them.
46 He gave their crops to grasshoppers
and what they worked for to locusts.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail
and their sycamore trees with sleet.
48 He killed their animals with hail
and their cattle with lightning.
49 He showed them his hot anger.
He sent his strong anger against them.
He sent his destroying angels.
50 He found a way to show his anger.
He did not keep them from dying.
He let them die by a terrible disease.
51 God killed all the firstborn sons in Egypt,
the oldest son of each family of Ham.[a]
52 But God led out his people like sheep.
He guided them like a flock through the desert.
53 He led them to safety. They had nothing to fear.
But their enemies drowned in the sea.
54 So God brought them to his holy land.
He brought them to the mountain country he took with his own power.
55 He forced out the other nations.
And he had his people inherit the land.
He let the tribes of Israel settle there in tents.
56 But they tested God
and turned against the Most High.
They did not keep his rules.
57 They turned away and sinned just like their ancestors.
They were like a crooked bow that does not shoot straight.
58 They made God angry by building places to worship false gods.
They made him jealous with their idols.
59 When God heard them, he became very angry.
And he rejected the people of Israel completely.
60 He left his dwelling at Shiloh,
the tent where he lived among men.
61 He let his Ark of the Covenant be captured.
He let the Ark of the Covenant, which was his glory, be taken by enemies.
62 He let his people be killed.
He was very angry with his children.
63 The young men died by fire.
The young women had no one to marry.
64 Their priests fell by the sword.
But their widows were not allowed to cry.
65 Then the Lord got up as if he had been asleep.
He awoke like a man who was drunk with wine.
66 He struck down his enemies.
He disgraced them forever.
67 But God rejected the family of Joseph.
He did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68 Instead, he chose the tribe of Judah
and Mount Zion, which he loves.
69 And he built his Temple high like the mountains.
Like the earth, he built it to last forever.
70 He chose David to be his servant.
He took him from the sheep pens.
71 He brought him from tending the sheep
so he could lead the flock, the people of Jacob.
This flock was his own people, the people of Israel.
72 And David led them with an innocent heart.
He guided them with skillful hands.
