Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

114 When (A)Israel went out from Egypt,
    the house of Jacob from (B)a people of strange language,
Judah became his (C)sanctuary,
    Israel his dominion.

(D)The sea looked and fled;
    (E)Jordan turned back.
(F)The mountains skipped like rams,
    the hills like lambs.

What (G)ails you, O sea, that you flee?
    O Jordan, that you turn back?
O mountains, that you skip like rams?
    O hills, like lambs?

(H)Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turns (I)the rock into (J)a pool of water,
    (K)the flint into a spring of water.

述主領以色列民出埃及之大能

114 以色列出了埃及雅各家離開說異言之民。
那時,猶大為主的聖所,以色列為他所治理的國度。
滄海看見就奔逃,約旦河也倒流。
大山踴躍如公羊,小山跳舞如羊羔。
滄海啊,你為何奔逃?約旦哪,你為何倒流?
大山哪,你為何踴躍如公羊?小山哪,你為何跳舞如羊羔?
大地啊,你因見主的面,就是雅各神的面,便要震動。
他叫磐石變為水池,叫堅石變為泉源。

The Song of Moses

15 Then Moses and the people of Israel (A)sang this song to the Lord, saying,

(B)“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
    the horse and his rider[a] he has thrown into the sea.
(C)The Lord is my strength and my (D)song,
    and he has become (E)my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
    (F)my father's God, and (G)I will exalt him.
The Lord is (H)a man of war;
    (I)the Lord is his name.

(J)“Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
    and his chosen (K)officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
The (L)floods covered them;
    they (M)went down into the depths like a stone.
(N)Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
    your right hand, O Lord, (O)shatters the enemy.
In the (P)greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
    you send out your fury; it (Q)consumes them like stubble.
At the (R)blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
    the (S)floods stood up in a heap;
    the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, (T)‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
    I (U)will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
    I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You (V)blew with your wind; the (W)sea covered them;
    they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 (X)“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
    Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
    awesome in (Y)glorious deeds, (Z)doing wonders?

摩西歌頌耶和華

15 那時,摩西以色列人向耶和華唱歌說:「我要向耶和華歌唱,因他大大戰勝,將馬和騎馬的投在海中。 耶和華是我的力量、我的詩歌,也成了我的拯救。這是我的神,我要讚美他;是我父親的神,我要尊崇他。 耶和華是戰士,他的名是耶和華。 法老的車輛、軍兵,耶和華已拋在海中,他特選的軍長都沉於海。 深水淹沒他們,他們如同石頭墜到深處。 耶和華啊,你的右手施展能力,顯出榮耀;耶和華啊,你的右手摔碎仇敵。 你大發威嚴,推翻那些起來攻擊你的;你發出烈怒如火,燒滅他們像燒碎秸一樣。 你發鼻中的氣,水便聚起成堆,大水直立如壘,海中的深水凝結。 仇敵說:『我要追趕,我要追上;我要分擄物;我要在他們身上稱我的心願;我要拔出刀來,親手殺滅他們。』 10 你叫風一吹,海就把他們淹沒,他們如鉛沉在大水之中。 11 耶和華啊,眾神之中誰能像你?誰能像你至聖至榮,可頌可畏,施行奇事?

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often (A)will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? (B)As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.

23 “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished (C)to settle accounts with his servants.[a] 24 When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him (D)ten thousand (E)talents.[b] 25 (F)And since he could not pay, his master ordered him (G)to be sold, with his wife and (H)children and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 So the servant[c] (I)fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ 27 And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and (J)forgave him the debt. 28 But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred (K)denarii,[d] and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ 29 So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ 30 He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. 31 When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. 32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 (L)And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 (M)And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,[e] (N)until he should pay all his debt. 35 (O)So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother (P)from your heart.”

饒恕七十個七次

21 那時,彼得進前來,對耶穌說:「主啊,我弟兄得罪我,我當饒恕他幾次呢?到七次可以嗎?」 22 耶穌說:「我對你說,不是到七次,乃是到七十個七次。 23 天國好像一個王要和他僕人算帳。 24 才算的時候,有人帶了一個欠一千萬銀子的來。 25 因為他沒有什麼償還之物,主人吩咐把他和他妻子兒女並一切所有的都賣了償還。 26 那僕人就俯伏拜他,說:『主啊,寬容我!將來我都要還清。』 27 那僕人的主人就動了慈心,把他釋放了,並且免了他的債。

不憐憫人的必不蒙憐憫

28 「那僕人出來,遇見他的一個同伴欠他十兩銀子,便揪著他,掐住他的喉嚨,說:『你把所欠的還我!』 29 他的同伴就俯伏央求他,說:『寬容我吧!將來我必還清。』 30 他不肯,竟去把他下在監裡,等他還了所欠的債。 31 眾同伴看見他所做的事,就甚憂愁,去把這事都告訴了主人。 32 於是主人叫了他來,對他說:『你這惡奴才!你央求我,我就把你所欠的都免了。 33 你不應當憐恤你的同伴,像我憐恤你嗎?』 34 主人就大怒,把他交給掌刑的,等他還清了所欠的債。 35 你們各人若不從心裡饒恕你的弟兄,我天父也要這樣待你們了。」
