詩 篇 39
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
39 ( 大 衛 的 詩 , 交 與 伶 長 耶 杜 頓 。 ) 我 曾 說 : 我 要 謹 慎 我 的 言 行 , 免 得 我 舌 頭 犯 罪 ; 惡 人 在 我 面 前 的 時 候 , 我 要 用 嚼 環 勒 住 我 的 口 。
2 我 默 然 無 聲 , 連 好 話 也 不 出 口 ; 我 的 愁 苦 就 發 動 了 ,
3 我 的 心 在 我 裡 面 發 熱 。 我 默 想 的 時 候 , 火 就 燒 起 , 我 便 用 舌 頭 說 話 。
4 耶 和 華 啊 , 求 你 叫 我 曉 得 我 身 之 終 ! 我 的 壽 數 幾 何 ? 叫 我 知 道 我 的 生 命 不 長 !
5 你 使 我 的 年 日 窄 如 手 掌 ; 我 一 生 的 年 數 , 在 你 面 前 如 同 無 有 。 各 人 最 穩 妥 的 時 候 , 真 是 全 然 虛 幻 。 ( 細 拉 )
6 世 人 行 動 實 係 幻 影 。 他 們 忙 亂 , 真 是 枉 然 ; 積 蓄 財 寶 , 不 知 將 來 有 誰 收 取 。
7 主 啊 , 如 今 我 等 甚 麼 呢 ? 我 的 指 望 在 乎 你 !
8 求 你 救 我 脫 離 一 切 的 過 犯 , 不 要 使 我 受 愚 頑 人 的 羞 辱 。
9 因 我 所 遭 遇 的 是 出 於 你 , 我 就 默 然 不 語 。
10 求 你 把 你 的 責 罰 從 我 身 上 免 去 ; 因 你 手 的 責 打 , 我 便 消 滅 。
11 你 因 人 的 罪 惡 懲 罰 他 的 時 候 , 叫 他 的 笑 容 ( 的 笑 容 : 或 譯 所 喜 愛 的 ) 消 滅 , 如 衣 被 蟲 所 咬 。 世 人 真 是 虛 幻 ! ( 細 拉 )
12 耶 和 華 啊 , 求 你 聽 我 的 禱 告 , 留 心 聽 我 的 呼 求 ! 我 流 淚 , 求 你 不 要 靜 默 無 聲 ! 因 為 我 在 你 面 前 是 客 旅 , 是 寄 居 的 , 像 我 列 祖 一 般 。
13 求 你 寬 容 我 , 使 我 在 去 而 不 返 之 先 可 以 力 量 復 原 。
Psalm 39
English Standard Version
What Is the Measure of My Days?
To the choirmaster: to (A)Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
39 I said, “I will (B)guard my ways,
that I (C)may not sin with my tongue;
I will (D)guard my mouth with a muzzle,
so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
2 I was (E)mute and silent;
I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.
3 My (F)heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “O Lord, (G)make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and (H)my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely (I)all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
6 Surely a man (J)goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing[a] they are in turmoil;
man (K)heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
7 “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
(L)My hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.
(M)Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
9 (N)I am mute; I do not open my mouth,
(O)for it is you who have done it.
10 (P)Remove your stroke from me;
I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
11 When you discipline a man
with (Q)rebukes for sin,
you (R)consume like a (S)moth what is dear to him;
(T)surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah
12 (U)“Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am (V)a sojourner with you,
(W)a guest, like all my fathers.
13 (X)Look away from me, that I may smile again,
(Y)before I depart and (Z)am no more!”

New International Version
Psalm 39[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 I said, “I will watch my ways(A)
and keep my tongue from sin;(B)
I will put a muzzle on my mouth(C)
while in the presence of the wicked.”
2 So I remained utterly silent,(D)
not even saying anything good.
But my anguish(E) increased;
3 my heart grew hot(F) within me.
While I meditated,(G) the fire(H) burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end
and the number of my days;(I)
let me know how fleeting(J) my life is.(K)
5 You have made my days(L) a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,(M)
even those who seem secure.[b]
6 “Surely everyone goes around(N) like a mere phantom;(O)
in vain they rush about,(P) heaping up wealth(Q)
without knowing whose it will finally be.(R)
7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.(S)
8 Save me(T) from all my transgressions;(U)
do not make me the scorn(V) of fools.
9 I was silent;(W) I would not open my mouth,(X)
for you are the one who has done this.(Y)
10 Remove your scourge from me;
I am overcome by the blow(Z) of your hand.(AA)
11 When you rebuke(AB) and discipline(AC) anyone for their sin,
you consume(AD) their wealth like a moth(AE)—
surely everyone is but a breath.(AF)

以 西 結 書 17:1-10
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
17 耶 和 華 的 話 臨 到 我 說 :
2 人 子 啊 , 你 要 向 以 色 列 家 出 謎 語 , 設 比 喻 ,
3 說 主 耶 和 華 如 此 說 : 有 一 大 鷹 , 翅 膀 大 , 翎 毛 長 , 羽 毛 豐 滿 , 彩 色 俱 備 , 來 到 利 巴 嫩 , 將 香 柏 樹 梢 擰 去 ,
4 就 是 折 去 香 柏 樹 儘 尖 的 嫩 枝 , 叼 到 貿 易 之 地 , 放 在 買 賣 城 中 ;
5 又 將 以 色 列 地 的 枝 子 栽 於 肥 田 裡 , 插 在 大 水 旁 , 如 插 柳 樹 ,
6 就 漸 漸 生 長 , 成 為 蔓 延 矮 小 的 葡 萄 樹 。 其 枝 轉 向 那 鷹 , 其 根 在 鷹 以 下 , 於 是 成 了 葡 萄 樹 , 生 出 枝 子 , 發 出 小 枝 。
7 又 有 一 大 鷹 , 翅 膀 大 , 羽 毛 多 。 這 葡 萄 樹 從 栽 種 的 畦 中 向 這 鷹 彎 過 根 來 , 發 出 枝 子 , 好 得 他 的 澆 灌 。
8 這 樹 栽 於 肥 田 多 水 的 旁 邊 , 好 生 枝 子 , 結 果 子 , 成 為 佳 美 的 葡 萄 樹 。
9 你 要 說 , 主 耶 和 華 如 此 說 : 這 葡 萄 樹 豈 能 發 旺 呢 ? 鷹 豈 不 拔 出 他 的 根 來 , 芟 除 他 的 果 子 , 使 他 枯 乾 , 使 他 發 的 嫩 葉 都 枯 乾 了 麼 ? 也 不 用 大 力 和 多 民 , 就 拔 出 他 的 根 來 。
10 葡 萄 樹 雖 然 栽 種 , 豈 能 發 旺 呢 ? 一 經 東 風 , 豈 不 全 然 枯 乾 麼 ? 必 在 生 長 的 畦 中 枯 乾 了 。

Parable of Two Eagles and a Vine
17 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 (A)“Son of man, (B)propound a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel; 3 say, Thus says the Lord God: (C)A great eagle (D)with great wings and long pinions, (E)rich in plumage of many colors, came (F)to Lebanon (G)and took the top of the cedar. 4 He broke off the topmost of its young twigs and carried it to a land of trade and set it in a city of merchants. 5 Then he took of the seed of the land (H)and planted it in fertile soil.[a] He placed it beside abundant waters. (I)He set it like a willow twig, 6 and it sprouted and became a (J)low (K)spreading vine, and its branches turned toward him, and its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out boughs.
7 (L)“And there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage, (M)and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and shot forth its branches toward him from (N)the bed where it was planted, that he might water it. 8 (O)It had been planted on good soil by abundant waters, that it might produce branches and bear fruit and become a noble vine.
9 “Say, Thus says the Lord God: (P)Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers, so that all its fresh sprouting leaves wither? It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it from its roots. 10 Behold, it is planted; will it thrive? (Q)Will it not utterly wither when the east wind strikes it—wither away on the bed where it sprouted?”

Two Eagles and a Vine
17 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set forth an allegory and tell it to the Israelites as a parable.(A) 3 Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: A great eagle(B) with powerful wings, long feathers and full plumage of varied colors came to Lebanon.(C) Taking hold of the top of a cedar, 4 he broke off(D) its topmost shoot and carried it away to a land of merchants, where he planted it in a city of traders.
5 “‘He took one of the seedlings of the land and put it in fertile soil. He planted it like a willow by abundant water,(E) 6 and it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine. Its branches(F) turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out leafy boughs.(G)
7 “‘But there was another great eagle with powerful wings and full plumage. The vine now sent out its roots toward him from the plot where it was planted and stretched out its branches to him for water.(H) 8 It had been planted in good soil by abundant water so that it would produce branches,(I) bear fruit and become a splendid vine.’
9 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Will it thrive? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it withers? All its new growth will wither. It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by the roots.(J) 10 It has been planted,(K) but will it thrive? Will it not wither completely when the east wind strikes it—wither away in the plot where it grew?(L)’”

13 ( 原 來 在 神 面 前 , 不 是 聽 律 法 的 為 義 , 乃 是 行 律 法 的 稱 義 。
14 沒 有 律 法 的 外 邦 人 若 順 著 本 性 行 律 法 上 的 事 , 他 們 雖 然 沒 有 律 法 , 自 己 就 是 自 己 的 律 法 。
15 這 是 顯 出 律 法 的 功 用 刻 在 他 們 心 裡 , 他 們 是 非 之 心 同 作 見 證 , 並 且 他 們 的 思 念 互 相 較 量 , 或 以 為 是 , 或 以 為 非 。 )
16 就 在 神 藉 耶 穌 基 督 審 判 人 隱 祕 事 的 日 子 , 照 著 我 的 福 音 所 言 。

Romans 2:12-16
English Standard Version
God's Judgment and the Law
12 For all who have sinned (A)without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For (B)it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, (C)by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is (D)written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 (E)on that day when, (F)according to my gospel, God judges (G)the secrets of men (H)by Christ Jesus.

Romans 2:12-16
New International Version
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(A) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(B) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(C) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets(D) through Jesus Christ,(E) as my gospel(F) declares.
