詩篇-Psalms 第 78 章

78:1我的民哪,你們要留心聽我的教訓,側耳聽我口中的話。
Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
78:2我要開口說比喻;我要說出古時的謎語,
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter riddles from of old,
78:3是我們所聽見所知道的,也是我們的祖宗向我們所述說的。
Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have related to us.
78:4我們不將這些事向他們的子孫隱瞞,要將耶和華當得的讚美,和祂的能力,並祂所作的奇事,述說給後代聽。
We will not hide them from their children, But will relate to the generation to come The praises of Jehovah and His strength And His wondrous deeds that He has done.
78:5因為祂在雅各中立了見證,在以色列中設了律法,是祂吩咐我們祖宗,要他們給子孫知道的;
Indeed He has 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;
78:6使將要生的後代子孫,可以曉得;他們也要起來向他們的子孫述說;
That the generation to come, The children to be born, may know them, Who should arise and relate them to their children;
78:7好叫他們寄望於神,不忘記神的作為,惟要遵守祂的命令;
That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the deeds of God, But observe His commandments;
78:8不至像他們的祖宗,是頑梗悖逆、居心不正之輩,他們的靈向著神不忠信。
That they might not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set their heart right, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
78:9以法蓮的子孫,帶著兵器,拿著弓箭,臨陣之日卻轉身退後。
The children of Ephraim, armed archers with bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
78:10他們不遵守神的約,不肯遵行祂的律法;
They did not keep the covenant of God, And they refused to walk in His law.
78:11又忘記祂所行的,和祂向他們所顯奇妙的作為。
And they forgot His doings And His wondrous deeds that He had shown them.
78:12祂在埃及地,在瑣安田,在他們祖宗的眼前,施行奇事。
He did something wonderful in the sight of their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13祂將海分開,使他們過去,又叫水立起如壘。
He divided the sea and caused them to pass through, And He made the water stand as a heap.
78:14祂白日用雲彩,終夜用火光,引導他們。
And He led them with the cloud by day And all the night with a light of fire.
78:15祂在曠野裂開磐石,多多的給他們水喝,如從深淵而出。
He split rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant drink, as from the depths.
78:16祂使水從磐石湧出,叫水如江河流下。
He also brought forth streams from the rock And made water run down like rivers.
78:17他們卻仍舊得罪祂,在幹旱之地悖逆至高者。
Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
78:18他們心中試探神,隨自己所欲的求食物;
And they put God to the test in their heart, By asking for food according to their desire.
78:19並且出言頂撞神,說,神豈能在曠野擺設筵席麼?
They also spoke against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
78:20看哪,祂曾擊打磐石,使水湧出,如同江河泛濫;祂還能賜糧食麼?還能為祂的百姓豫備肉麼?
Behold, He struck the rock, And water gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can He also give us bread, Or provide meat for His people?
78:21所以耶和華聽見,就發怒。有火向雅各燒起,有怒氣向以色列上騰;
Therefore Jehovah heard and was angry. And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And also anger went up against Israel;
78:22因為他們不相信神,不倚靠祂的救恩。
Because they did not believe in God, And they did not trust in His salvation.
78:23祂卻吩咐在上的穹蒼,又敞開天上的門,
Yet He commanded the skies above And opened the doors of heaven;
78:24降嗎哪像雨給他們吃,將天上的糧食賜給他們。
And He rained down upon them manna to eat And gave them the food of heaven.
78:25人吃大能者的食物;祂差下糧食,使他們飽足。
Man ate the bread of the mighty; He sent them full provision.
78:26祂使東風在天空刮起,又用能力引來南風。
He made the east wind blow in the heavens And guided the south wind by His strength.
78:27祂降肉像雨給他們,多如塵土,又降飛鳥,多如海沙,
And He rained upon them meat like dust, And winged birds like the sand of the seas.
78:28落在他們的營中,在他們住處的四圍。
And He made it fall in the midst of their camp, Around their habitations.
78:29他們吃了,而且極其飽足;這樣,祂就隨了他們所欲的。
So they ate and were well filled; Indeed what they desired He brought to them.
78:30他們貪而無厭,食物還在口中的時候,
They were not estranged from what they desired; Their food was still in their mouths
78:31神的怒氣就向他們上騰,殺了他們內中的肥壯人,打倒以色列的少年人。
When the anger of God went up against them And slew some of their fattest ones And struck down the choice men of Israel.
78:32雖經這一切,他們仍舊犯罪,不相信祂奇妙的作為。
In spite of all this they still sinned And did not believe in His wondrous deeds.
78:33因此祂使他們的日子在虛空中耗盡,使他們的年歲在驚恐中度完。
Therefore He consumed their days with vanity, And their years with terror.
78:34祂殺他們的時候,他們才求問祂,回轉過來,切切的尋求神。
When He slew them, they inquired after Him, And they returned and diligently sought God.
78:35他們也追念神是他們的磐石,至高的神是他們的救贖主。
And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God, their Redeemer.
78:36他們卻用口諂媚祂,用舌向祂說謊。
But they flattered Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.
78:37因他們的心向祂不堅定,在祂的約上也不忠信。
For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful to His covenant.
78:38但祂有憐憫,遮蓋他們的罪孽,不滅絕他們;而且屢次使自己的怒氣轉消,不發盡祂的忿怒。
But He, being merciful, forgave their iniquity And did not destroy them; Indeed He turned back His anger many times And did not stir up all His wrath.
78:39祂想到他們不過是肉體,是一陣去而不返的風。
And He remembered that they were flesh, A wind that goes away and does not return.
78:40他們在曠野悖逆祂,在荒地叫祂擔憂,何其多呢!
How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert!
78:41他們再三試探神,惹動以色列的聖者。
And they repeatedly put God to the test And provoked the Holy One of Israel.
78:42他們不追念祂的能力,和贖他們脫離敵人的日子;
They did not remember His hand, The day when He ransomed them from the adversary;
78:43那時祂在埃及顯神跡,在瑣安田顯奇事,
When He set His signs in Egypt And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
78:44把他們的江河與溪流都變為血,使他們不能喝。
And He turned their rivers into blood, As well as their streams, so that they could not drink.
78:45祂打發蒼蠅成群,落在他們中間,嘬盡他們;又打發青蛙毀壞他們;
He sent among them a swarm offlies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.
78:46祂把他們地裏的出產交給毀蝗,把他們勞碌得來的交給群蝗。
And He gave their increase to the consuming locust, And their labor to the swarming locust.
78:47祂用冰雹打壞他們的葡萄樹,用嚴霜打壞他們的桑樹;
And He killed their vines with hail, And their sycamores with ice stones.
78:48又把他們的牲畜交給冰雹,把他們的群畜交給閃電。
He gave over their cattle also to the hail And their herds to the lightning bolts.
78:49祂打發猛烈的怒氣、盛怒、惱恨和苦難,成了一群降災禍的使者,進入他們中間。
He sent among them the burning fierceness of His anger, Overflowing wrath and indignation and trouble, A mission of angels of evils.
78:50祂為自己的怒氣修平了路,不使他們的魂免於死亡,乃將他們的生命交給瘟疫。
He leveled a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence.
78:51祂在埃及擊殺一切頭生的,在含的帳棚中,擊殺他們力量強壯時頭生的。
And He struck all the firstborn in Egypt, The first of their vigor in the tents of Ham.
78:52祂卻領出自己的民如羊,在曠野引他們如羊群。
But He set forth His people like sheep And led them like a flock in the wilderness.
78:53祂領他們穩穩妥妥的,使他們不至害怕;海卻淹沒他們的仇敵。
And He led them to safety, so that they did not fear; But the sea covered their enemies.
78:54祂帶他們到自己聖地的境界,到祂右手所得的這山。
And He brought them forth to His holy border, The mountain, which His right hand had acquired.
78:55祂在他們麵前趕出外邦人,用繩子將外邦的地量給他們,拈鬮分給他們為業,叫以色列支派的人在那裏住在他們的帳棚裏。
And He drove out the nations before them And allotted them as an inheritance by line, And He made the tribes of Israel dwell there in their tents.
78:56他們仍舊試探、悖逆至高的神,不持守祂的見證;
Yet they put Him to the test and rebelled against God the Most High, And did not keep His testimonies.
78:57反倒退後,行詭詐,像他們的祖宗一樣;他們翻轉,如同詭詐的弓。
And they turned back and dealt treacherously, as their fathers had done; They turned aside like a deceitfulbow.
78:58他們用邱壇惹了祂的怒氣,用雕製的偶像觸動祂的妒忌。
Indeed they provoked Him to anger with their high places And made Him jealous with their graven images.
78:59神聽見就發怒,極其厭惡以色列人。
God heard, and He was angered; And He greatly abhorred Israel.
78:60於是祂離棄示羅的帳幕,就是祂在人間所搭的帳棚;
Thus He forsook the tabernacle in Shiloh, The tent in which He dwelt among men;
78:61又將祂的約櫃交與人擄去,將祂的榮美交在敵人手中。
And He gave over His ark into captivity, And His glory into the hand of the adversary.
78:62並將祂的百姓交與刀劍,向祂的產業發怒。
He also delivered His people to the sword And was angry with His inheritance.
78:63他們的少年人被火燒滅,他們的處女也無喜歌。
Fire devoured their young men, And their virgins had no marriage song.
78:64他們的祭司倒在刀下,他們的寡婦卻不哀哭。
Their priests fell by the sword, And their widows did not lament.
78:65那時主如同睡醒,像勇士因飲酒呼喊。
Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
78:66祂打退了祂的敵人,叫他們永蒙羞辱。
And He struck His adversaries and sent them back; He put an everlasting reproach upon them.
78:67並且祂棄掉約瑟的帳棚,不揀選以法蓮支派,
And He rejected the tent of Joseph, And the tribe of Ephraim He did not choose.
78:68卻揀選猶大支派,祂所愛的錫安山。
Rather He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
78:69祂蓋造祂的聖所,好像高峰,又像祂所建立永存之地。
And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth that He has founded forever.
78:70又揀選祂的仆人大衛,從羊圈中選取了他;
Moreover He chose David His servant And took him from the sheepfolds;
78:71叫他不再跟從那些帶奶的母羊,為要牧養自己的百姓雅各,和自己的產業以色列。
From following after the ewes He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people And Israel His inheritance.
78:72於是,他按心中的純全牧養他們,用手中的巧妙引導他們。
And he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
