Psalm 78:1-8
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.

詩 篇 78:1-8
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
78 ( 亞 薩 的 訓 誨 詩 。 ) 我 的 民 哪 , 你 們 要 留 心 聽 我 的 訓 誨 , 側 耳 聽 我 口 中 的 話 。
2 我 要 開 口 說 比 喻 ; 我 要 說 出 古 時 的 謎 語 ,
3 是 我 們 所 聽 見 、 所 知 道 的 , 也 是 我 們 的 祖 宗 告 訴 我 們 的 。
4 我 們 不 將 這 些 事 向 他 們 的 子 孫 隱 瞞 , 要 將 耶 和 華 的 美 德 和 他 的 能 力 , 並 他 奇 妙 的 作 為 , 述 說 給 後 代 聽 。
5 因 為 , 他 在 雅 各 中 立 法 度 , 在 以 色 列 中 設 律 法 ; 是 他 吩 咐 我 們 祖 宗 要 傳 給 子 孫 的 ,
6 使 將 要 生 的 後 代 子 孫 可 以 曉 得 ; 他 們 也 要 起 來 告 訴 他 們 的 子 孫 ,
7 好 叫 他 們 仰 望 神 , 不 忘 記 神 的 作 為 , 惟 要 守 他 的 命 令 。
8 不 要 像 他 們 的 祖 宗 , 是 頑 梗 悖 逆 、 居 心 不 正 之 輩 , 向 著 神 , 心 不 誠 實 。

Psalm 78:1-8
King James Version
78 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
