【德训篇】第四十三章 << 上一章下一章 >>

43:1 碧空青天，是高空的美丽；苍天的景色，光耀壮观。
The clear vault of the sky shines forth like heaven itself, a vision of glory.

43:2 太阳升出，发散热气。──的确是至高者奇异的化工!
The orb of the sun, resplendent at its rising: what a wonderful work of the Most High!

43:3 中午的太阳烘热大地，谁能抵抗它的炎热﹖人吹火炉，使它生热；
At noon it seethes the surface of the earth, and who can bear its fiery heat?

43:4 太阳的热，比火炉更强三倍：它烧毁山岳，放射火花，眩耀人目。
Like a blazing furnace of solid metal, it sets the mountains aflame with its rays; By its fiery darts the land is consumed; the eyes are dazzled by its light.

43:5 创造太阳的上主是伟大的，太阳依照他的号令，急速运行。
Great indeed is the LORD who made it, at whose orders it urges on its steeds.

43:6 月亮，这指明时节的永久标志，常是准时的；
The moon, too, that marks the changing times, governing the seasons, their lasting sign,

43:7 月亮，这圆而复缺的光体，节期由它来划定，
By which we know the feast days and fixed dates, this light-giver which wanes in its course:

43:8 月份因它而得名；它由缺而盈，极其微妙；
As its name says, each month it renews itself; how wondrous in this change!

43:9 它是高天军旅的灯塔，在天空照耀。
The beauty, the glory, of the heavens are the stars that adorn with their sparkling the heights of God,

43:10 繁星的光芒，造成天空的美丽，它们是上主高天上的灿烂装饰；
At whose command they keep their place and never relax in their vigils. A weapon against the flood waters stored on high, lighting up the firmament by its brilliance,

43:11 它们遵照圣者的号令，执行任务，看守黑夜，总不疲倦。
Behold the rainbow! Then bless its Maker, for majestic indeed is its splendor;

43:12 你看见虹霓，就当赞美它的创造者；它的光彩极其灿烂。
It spans the heavens with its glory, this bow bent by the mighty hand of God.

43:13 它用光辉的弧形环绕天空，至高者的手，将它伸长。
His rebuke marks out the path for the lightning, and speeds the arrows of his judgment to their goal.

43:14 天主一命令，雪花即迅速降下；天主一决定，电光就急速闪烁。
At it the storehouse is opened, and like vultures the clouds hurry forth.

43:15 为此，仓库一开启，云雾就像群鸟飞翔而出。
In his majesty he gives the storm its power and breaks off the hailstones.

43:16 他以自己的大能，使云凝结，冰雹如碎石落下。
The thunder of his voice makes the earth writhe; before his might the mountains quake.

43:17 他一出现，山岳动摇；他的雷声，震撼大地；
A word from him drives on the south wind, the angry north wind, the hurricane and the storm.

43:18 他一愿意，南风吹起，北风怒号，旋风滚动。
He sprinkles the snow like fluttering birds; it comes to settle like swarms of locusts.

43:19 他使雪片飞落，有如群鸟飞下；雪片降落，又如飞蝗落下。
Its shining whiteness blinds the eyes, the mind is baffled by its steady fall.

43:20 它那皎洁的丽光，令人眼花目眩；雨雪霏霏，使人心中赞赏。
He scatters frost like so much salt; it shines like blossoms on the thornbush.

43:21 天主又倾撒冰霜，彷佛是撒盐，掩盖大地；霜一凝结，竖立有如针尖。
Cold northern blasts he sends that turn the ponds to lumps of ice. He freezes over every body of water, and clothes each pool with a coat of mail.

43:22 寒冷的北风一吹，整个水面都凝结成冰，彷佛使水穿上了盔甲。
When the mountain growth is scorched with heat, and the flowering plains as though by flames,

43:23 天主如火一样，吞没山岳，烧焦旷野，焚毁青草。
The dripping clouds restore them all, and the scattered dew enriches the parched land.

43:24 补救这一切灾祸的，只有及时的云雾；甘露一降，即使暑气顿消。
His is the plan that calms the deep, and plants the islands in the sea.

43:25 他一发令，风即停止；他一计议，深渊遂即沉没，其中的岛屿于是突出。
Those who go down to the sea tell part of its story, and when we hear them we are thunderstruck;

43:26 航海的人，述说海中的危险，我们听见，都感觉惊奇；
In it are his creatures, stupendous, amazing, all kinds of life, and the monsters of the deep.

43:27 在海里有奇特惊异的化工，有各种兽类、生物和海怪。
For him each messenger succeeds, and at his bidding accomplishes his will.

43:28 依靠天主而过海的人，必能安然渡过，因为一切的事，都是依照他的号令而措施的。
More than this we need not add; let the last word be, he is all in all!

43:29 我们述说了许多，但总是辞不达义，总结一句：他是万有。
Let us praise him the more, since we cannot fathom him, for greater is he than all his works;

43:30 为颂扬他，我们能做什么﹖因为他是伟大的，他超越他的一切化工。
Awful indeed is the LORD’s majesty, and wonderful is his power.

43:31 他是可敬可畏，极其伟大的上主；他的德能是非常奇异的。
Lift up your voices to glorify the LORD, though he is still beyond your power to praise;

43:32 虽然你们尽力颂扬上主，但仍不能相称他的伟大；他的庄严，是奇妙的。
Extol him with renewed strength, and weary not, though you cannot reach the end:

43:33 当你们赞颂上主时，要尽力称扬他，因为他超越一切的赞美。
For who can see him and describe him? or who can praise him as he is?

43:34 你们称扬他，要用尽你们的力量，不要厌倦，因为你们赞扬，总不能恰如其分。
Beyond these, many things lie hid; only a few of his works have we seen.

43:35 谁见了他而能描述﹖谁能以他自始所应得的赞美，来赞美他﹖
It is the LORD who has made all things, and to those who fear him he gives wisdom.

43:36 比这更神妙的事，还有很多，因为我们所见的，不过是他化工中的极少数。

43:37 上主造成了万物，并赐给虔敬人智慧。
