圣母玫瑰园-思高圣经 

【德训篇】第十六章  << 上一章 下一章 >>

16:1 若子女不敬畏上主,虽然众多,你也不要因此而欢喜。
Desire not a brood of worthless children, nor rejoice in wicked offspring.
16:2 不要依赖他们的生命,也不要依靠他们的后裔;
Many though they be, exult not in them if they have not the fear of the LORD.
16:3 因为,有一个敬畏天主的儿子,胜过一千个不虔敬的儿女。
Count not on their length of life, have no hope in their future. For one can be better than a thousand; rather die childless than have godless children!
16:4 没有儿子而死,比留下不虔敬的儿子更好。
Through one wise man can a city be peopled; through a clan of rebels it becomes desolate.
16:5 因为一位智慧人,就能使一城人烟稠密,而罪人的家族,却可使城池荒凉。
Many such things has my eye seen, even more than these has my ear heard.
16:6 我亲眼见到许多这样的事,我亲耳听到的比这还多。
Against a sinful band fire is enkindled, upon a godless people wrath flames out.
16:7 烈火在罪人的集会中燃烧,义怒向背信的民族怒吼。
He forgave not the leaders of old who rebelled long ago in their might;
16:8 对那些倚仗己力而背叛的古代巨人,上主没有息怒;
He spared not the neighbors of Lot whom he detested for their pride;
16:9 与罗特同城的人,天主也没有宽恕,因为他们的骄傲招天主的厌恶。
Nor did he spare the doomed people who were uprooted because of their sin;
16:10 他没有怜悯丧亡的子民,即那些因罪恶,而自高自大的人;
Nor the six hundred thousand foot soldiers who perished for the impiety of their hearts.
16:11 也同样对待了六十万步兵,即那些因心硬,而齐集反抗的人。如果有一个倔强的人而未受罚,才是奇事。
And had there been but one stiffnecked man, it were a wonder had he gone unpunished. For mercy and anger alike are with him who remits and forgives, though on the wicked alights his wrath.
16:12 因为,怜悯和义怒全属于上主;他大施宽恕,但也倾注义怒。
Great as his mercy is his punishment; he judges men, each according to his deeds.
16:13 他的仁慈大,他的惩罚也同样大;他依照每人的行为审判人。
A criminal does not escape with his plunder; a just man’s hope God does not leave unfulfilled.
16:14 罪犯及其赃物,逃遁不了;虔敬人的忍耐,不会落空。
Whoever does good has his reward, which each receives according to his deeds.
16:15 凡施舍行善的人,必会获得赏报;各人按自己的行为,及其旅行时所有的明智,必会得到酬报。上主曾硬了法郎的心,致令他不认识上主,和他在天下显示的工程。万物都见到了他的仁慈,他赐给了人光明和黑暗。
Say not: "I am hidden from God; in heaven who remembers me? Among so many people I cannot be known; what am I in the world of spirits?
16:16 不要说:「我能逃避上主,在至高处,还有谁会想到我﹖
Behold, the heavens, the heaven of heavens, the earth and the abyss tremble at his visitation;
16:17 在广大的人民中,必然无人认识我;我的性命,在这无量的造物中,又算得什么﹖」
The roots of the mountains, the earth’s foundations, at his mere glance, quiver and quake.
16:18 请看天,天外天,深渊,大地和地上的一切所有,当他视察时,都要动摇;
Of me, therefore, he will take no thought; with my ways who will concern himself?
16:19 山岳和大地的基础,天主一观看,都要颤栗摇撼。
If I sin, no eye will see me; if all in secret I am disloyal, who is to know?
16:20 对于这些事,人心怎么还不领悟﹖对众人的心,天主是洞悉的。
Who tells him of just deeds and what could I expect for doing my duty?"
16:21 谁能洞察他的道路﹖正如风暴,人难预见。
Such are the thoughts of senseless men, which only the foolish knave will think.
16:22 同样,天主的许多作为,也是隐而不见的。「谁能传述他正义的作为﹖谁能等待那事﹖因为他的盟约离一些人尚远。」到末日他才审问众人。
Hearken to me, my son, take my advice, apply your mind to my words,
16:23 心中愚蒙的人,是如此设想;不明智而自欺的人,只思虑狂妄的事。
While I propose measured wisdom, and impart accurate knowledge.
16:24 我儿,你要听从我,你要学习智慧的教训,你要留心注意我的话:
When at the first God created his works and, as he made them, assigned their tasks,
16:25 我要指出思量过的道理,我要详细陈述智慧;所以,你要在心留意我的话,我要公正地,述说天主从起初就赋与万有的神力;我要真实地,陈述他的智慧。
He ordered for all time what they were to do and their domains from generation to generation. They were not to hunger, nor grow weary, nor ever cease from their tasks.
16:26 太初,上主造化了万物;在创造时,分别了万物的种类。
Not one should ever crowd its neighbor, nor should they ever disobey his word.
16:27 永远把自己的化工布置就序,连续给它们派定了统帅。它们不感觉饥饿,也不感觉疲劳,因为统帅总不停顿自己的工作。
Then the LORD looked upon the earth, and filled it with his blessings.
16:28 它们彼此不相侵犯,
Its surface he covered with all manner of life which must return into it again.
16:29 永远不违背他的安排。

16:30 此后,上主俯视大地,将自己的美善,充满世界;

16:31 用各种生物,遮盖了地面;但它们仍要归于尘土。
