去处 · 阴间 地狱 乐园 天 深渊 无底坑 火湖

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

起初，　神创造天地。

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

地是空虚混沌，渊面黑暗；　神的灵运行在水面上。

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

神称空气为“天”。有晚上，有早晨，是第二日。

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

神说：“天下的水要聚在一处，使旱地露出来。”事就这样成了。

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

神说：“天上要有光体，可以分昼夜，作记号，定节令、日子、年岁，

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

并要发光在天空，普照在地上。”事就这样成了。

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

就把这些光摆列在天空，普照在地上，

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

神说：“水要多多滋生有生命的物；要有雀鸟飞在地面以上，天空之中。”

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

神说：“我们要照着我们的形像、按着我们的样式造人，使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜，和全地，并地上所爬的一切昆虫。”

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

神就赐福给他们，又对他们说：“要生养众多，遍满地面，治理这地，也要管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟，和地上各样行动的活物。”

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

至于地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟，并各样爬在地上有生命的物，我将青草赐给它们作食物。”事就这样成了。

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

天地万物都造齐了。

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

创造天地的来历，在耶和华　神造天地的日子，乃是这样，

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

耶和华　神用土所造成的野地各样走兽和空中各样飞鸟都带到那人面前，看他叫什么。那人怎样叫各样的活物，那就是它的名字。

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

那人便给一切牲畜和空中飞鸟、野地走兽都起了名；只是那人没有遇见配偶帮助他。

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

耶和华说：“我要将所造的人和走兽，并昆虫，以及空中的飞鸟，都从地上除灭，因为我造他们后悔了。”

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

看哪，我要使洪水泛滥在地上，毁灭天下；凡地上有血肉、有气息的活物，无一不死。

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

空中的飞鸟也要带七公七母，可以留种，活在全地上；

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

当挪亚六百岁，二月十七日那一天，大渊的泉源都裂开了，天上的窗户也敞开了，

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

水势在地上极其浩大，天下的高山都淹没了。

And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

凡地上各类的活物，连人带牲畜、昆虫，以及空中的飞鸟，都从地上除灭了，只留下挪亚和那些与他同在方舟里的。

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

渊源和天上的窗户都闭塞了，天上的大雨也止住了。

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

凡地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟都必惊恐，惧怕你们，连地上一切的昆虫并海里一切的鱼都交付你们的手。

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

他们说：“来吧！我们要建造一座城和一座塔，塔顶通天，为要传扬我们的名，免得我们分散在全地上。”

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

他为亚伯兰祝福，说：“愿天地的主、至高的　神赐福与亚伯兰！

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

亚伯兰对所多玛王说：“我已经向天地的主、至高的　神耶和华起誓：

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

于是领他走到外边，说：“你向天观看，数算众星，能数得过来吗？”又对他说：“你的后裔将要如此。”

Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

当时，耶和华将硫磺与火从天上耶和华那里降与所多玛和蛾摩拉，

And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

神听见童子的声音；　神的使者从天上呼叫夏甲说：“夏甲，你为何这样呢？不要害怕，　神已经听见童子的声音了。

And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

耶和华的使者从天上呼叫他说：“亚伯拉罕！亚伯拉罕！”他说：“我在这里。”

And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,

耶和华的使者第二次从天上呼叫亚伯拉罕说：

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

论福，我必赐大福给你；论子孙，我必叫你的子孙多起来，如同天上的星，海边的沙。你子孙必得着仇敌的城门，

And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

我要叫你指着耶和华天地的主起誓，不要为我儿子娶这迦南地中的女子为妻。

The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

耶和华天上的主曾带领我离开父家和本族的地，对我说话，向我起誓说：‘我要将这地赐给你的后裔。’他必差遣使者在你面前，你就可以从那里为我儿子娶一个妻子。

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

我要加增你的后裔，像天上的星那样多，又要将这些地都赐给你的后裔。并且地上万国必因你的后裔得福；

Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:

愿　神赐你天上的甘露，地上的肥土，并许多五谷新酒。

And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;

他父亲以撒说：“地上的肥土必为你所住；天上的甘露必为你所得。

And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

梦见一个梯子立在地上，梯子的头顶着天，有　神的使者在梯子上，上去下来。

And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

就惧怕，说：“这地方何等可畏！这不是别的，乃是　神的殿，也是天的门。”

And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

他的儿女都起来安慰他，他却不肯受安慰，说：“我必悲哀着下阴间，到我儿子那里。”约瑟的父亲就为他哀哭。

And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

雅各说：“我的儿子不可与你们一同下去；他哥哥死了，只剩下他，他若在你们所行的路上遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。”

And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

现在你们又要把这个带去离开我，倘若他遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。’

It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.

我们的父亲见没有童子，他就必死。这便是我们使你仆人我们的父亲白发苍苍、悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。

Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:

你父亲的　神必帮助你；那全能者必将天上所有的福，地里所藏的福，以及生产乳养的福，都赐给你。

And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

耶和华吩咐摩西、亚伦说：“你们取几捧炉灰，摩西要在法老面前向天扬起来。

And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.

摩西、亚伦取了炉灰，站在法老面前。摩西向天扬起来，就在人身上和牲畜身上成了起泡的疮。

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

耶和华对摩西说：“你向天伸杖，使埃及遍地的人身上和牲畜身上，并田间各样菜蔬上，都有冰雹。”

And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

摩西向天伸杖，耶和华就打雷下雹，有火闪到地上；耶和华下雹在埃及地上。

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

耶和华对摩西说：“你向天伸杖，使埃及地黑暗；这黑暗似乎摸得着。”

And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

摩西向天伸杖，埃及遍地就乌黑了三天。

The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

深水淹没他们；他们如同石头坠到深处。

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

你发鼻中的气，水便聚起成堆，大水直立如垒，海中的深水凝结。

Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

耶和华对摩西说：“我要将粮食从天降给你们。百姓可以出去，每天收每天的份，我好试验他们遵不遵我的法度。

And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

耶和华对摩西说：“我要将亚玛力的名号从天下全然涂抹了；你要将这话写在书上作纪念，又念给约书亚听。”

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

“不可为自己雕刻偶像，也不可做什么形像仿佛上天、下地，和地底下、水中的百物。

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

因为六日之内，耶和华造天、地、海，和其中的万物，第七日便安息，所以耶和华赐福与安息日，定为圣日。

And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

耶和华对摩西说：“你要向以色列人这样说：‘你们自己看见我从天上和你们说话了。

And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

他们看见以色列的　神，他脚下仿佛有平铺的蓝宝石，如同天色明净。

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

这是我和以色列人永远的证据；因为六日之内耶和华造天地，第七日便安息舒畅。”

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列。你曾指着自己起誓说：‘我必使你们的后裔像天上的星那样多，并且我所应许的这全地，必给你们的后裔，他们要永远承受为业。’”

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

我必断绝你们因势力而有的骄傲，又要使覆你们的天如铁，载你们的地如铜。

But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.

倘若耶和华创作一件新事，使地开口，把他们和一切属他们的都吞下去，叫他们活活地坠落阴间，你们就明白这些人是藐视耶和华了。”

They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

这样，他们和一切属他们的，都活活地坠落阴间；地口在他们上头照旧合闭，他们就从会中灭亡。

The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

耶和华你们的　神使你们多起来。看哪，你们今日像天上的星那样多。

Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

我们上哪里去呢？我们的弟兄使我们的心消化，说那地的民比我们又大又高，城邑又广大又坚固，高得顶天，并且我们在那里看见亚衲族的人。’

This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

从今日起，我要使天下万民听见你的名声都惊恐惧怕，且因你发颤伤恸。”

O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

‘主耶和华啊，你已将你的大力大能显给仆人看。在天上，在地下，有什么神能像你行事、像你有大能的作为呢？

And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

那时你们近前来，站在山下；山上有火焰冲天，并有昏黑、密云、幽暗。

The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

或地上走兽的像，或空中飞鸟的像，

And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

又恐怕你向天举目观看，见耶和华你的　神为天下万民所摆列的日月星，就是天上的万象，自己便被勾引敬拜侍奉它。

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

我今日呼天唤地向你们作见证，你们必在过约旦河得为业的地上速速灭尽！你们不能在那地上长久，必尽行除灭。

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

“你且考察在你以前的世代，自　神造人在世以来，从天这边到天那边，曾有何民听见　神在火中说话的声音，像你听见还能存活呢？这样的大事何曾有、何曾听见呢？

Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

他从天上使你听见他的声音，为要教训你，又在地上使你看见他的烈火，并且听见他从火中所说的话。

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

所以，今日你要知道，也要记在心上，天上地下惟有耶和华他是　神，除他以外，再无别神。

Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

“‘不可为自己雕刻偶像，也不可做什么形像，仿佛上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。

And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

又要将他们的君王交在你手中，你就使他们的名从天下消灭。必无一人能在你面前站立得住，直到你将他们灭绝了。

For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

因为耶和华你　神领你进入美地，那地有河，有泉，有源，从山谷中流出水来。

Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

“以色列啊，你当听！你今日要过约旦河，进去赶出比你强大的国民，得着广大坚固、高得顶天的城邑。

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

你且由着我，我要灭绝他们，将他们的名从天下涂抹，使你的后裔比他们成为更大更强的国。’

Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.

看哪，天和天上的天，地和地上所有的，都属耶和华你的　神。

Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

你的列祖七十人下埃及；现在耶和华你的　神使你如同天上的星那样多。”

But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

你们要过去得为业的那地乃是有山有谷、雨水滋润之地，

And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.

耶和华的怒气向你们发作，就使天闭塞不下雨，地也不出产，使你们在耶和华所赐给你们的美地上速速灭亡。

That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

使你们和你们子孙的日子在耶和华向你们列祖起誓、应许给他们的地上得以增多，如天覆地的日子那样多。

And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;

去侍奉敬拜别神，或拜日头，或拜月亮，或拜天象，是主不曾吩咐的；

Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.

所以耶和华你　神使你不被四围一切的仇敌扰乱，在耶和华你　神赐你为业的地上得享平安。那时，你要将亚玛力的名号从天下涂抹了，不可忘记。”

Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

求你从天上、你的圣所垂看，赐福给你的百姓以色列与你所赐给我们的地，就是你向我们列祖起誓赐我们流奶与蜜之地。’”

The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

耶和华必为你开天上的府库，按时降雨在你的地上。在你手里所办的一切事上赐福与你。你必借给许多国民，却不致向他们借贷。

And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

你头上的天要变为铜，脚下的地要变为铁。

The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

耶和华要使那降在你地上的雨变为尘沙，从天临在你身上，直到你灭亡。

And thy carcass shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.

你的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的走兽作食物，并无人哄赶。

And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

你们先前虽然像天上的星那样多，却因不听从耶和华你　神的话，所剩的人数就稀少了。

The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

耶和华必不饶恕他；耶和华的怒气与愤恨要向他发作，如烟冒出，将这书上所写的一切咒诅都加在他身上。耶和华又要从天下涂抹他的名，

If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

你被赶散的人，就是在天涯的，耶和华你的　神也必从那里将你招聚回来。

It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

不是在天上，使你说：‘谁替我们上天取下来，使我们听见可以遵行呢？’

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

我今日呼天唤地向你作见证；我将生死祸福陈明在你面前，所以你要拣选生命，使你和你的后裔都得存活；

Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.

你们要将你们支派的众长老和官长都招聚了来，我好将这些话说与他们听，并呼天唤地见证他们的不是。

Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

“诸天哪，侧耳，我要说话；愿地也听我口中的言语。

For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

因为在我怒中有火烧起，直烧到极深的阴间，把地和地的出产尽都焚烧，山的根基也烧着了。

For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

我向天举手说：我凭我的永生起誓：

And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,

“论约瑟说：愿他的地蒙耶和华赐福，得天上的宝物、甘露，以及地里所藏的泉水；

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.

“耶书仑哪，没有能比　神的。他为帮助你，乘在天空，显其威荣，驾行穹苍。

Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

以色列安然居住；雅各的本源独居五谷新酒之地。他的天也滴甘露。

And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

我们一听见这些事，心就消化了。因你们的缘故，并无一人有胆气。耶和华你们的　神本是上天下地的　神。

And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

艾城的人回头一看，不料，城中烟气冲天，他们就无力向左向右逃跑。那往旷野逃跑的百姓便转身攻击追赶他们的人。

And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

他们在以色列人面前逃跑，正在伯·和仑下坡的时候，耶和华从天上降大冰雹（原文是石头）在他们身上，直降到亚西加，打死他们。被冰雹打死的，比以色列人用刀杀死的还多。

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

于是日头停留，月亮止住，直等国民向敌人报仇。这事岂不是写在雅煞珥书上吗？日头在天当中停住，不急速下落，约有一日之久。

LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

“耶和华啊，你从西珥出来，由以东地行走。那时地震天漏，云也落雨。

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

星宿从天上争战，从其轨道攻击西西拉。

For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.

见火焰从坛上往上升，耶和华的使者在坛上的火焰中也升上去了。玛挪亚和他的妻看见，就俯伏于地。

But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.

当烟气如柱从城中上腾的时候，便雅悯人回头观看，见全城的烟气冲天。

The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

耶和华使人死，也使人活，使人下阴间，也使人往上升。

The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

与耶和华争竞的，必被打碎；耶和华必从天上以雷攻击他，必审判地极的人，将力量赐与所立的王，高举受膏者的角。”

And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

未曾死的人都生了痔疮。合城呼号，声音上达于天。

And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.

非利士人又对大卫说：“来吧！我将你的肉给空中的飞鸟、田野的走兽吃。”

This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

今日耶和华必将你交在我手里。我必杀你，斩你的头，又将非利士军兵的尸首给空中的飞鸟、地上的野兽吃，使普天下的人都知道以色列中有　神；

And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.

押沙龙偶然遇见大卫的仆人。押沙龙骑着骡子，从大橡树密枝底下经过，他的头发被树枝绕住，就悬挂起来，所骑的骡子便离他去了。

And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

爱雅的女儿利斯巴用麻布在磐石上搭棚，从动手收割的时候直到天降雨在尸身上的时候，日间不容空中的雀鸟落在尸身上，夜间不让田野的走兽前来糟践。

The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

阴间的绳索缠绕我，死亡的网罗临到我。

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

那时因他发怒，地就摇撼战抖；天的根基也震动摇撼。

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

他又使天下垂，亲自降临；有黑云在他脚下。

The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

耶和华从天上打雷；至高者发出声音。

Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.

所以你要照你的智慧行，不容他白头安然下阴间。

Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.

现在你不要以他为无罪。你是聪明人，必知道怎样待他，使他白头见杀，流血下到阴间。”

And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:

所罗门当着以色列会众，站在耶和华的坛前，向天举手说：

And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:

“耶和华以色列的　神啊，天上地下没有神可比你的！你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱；

But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

“　神果真住在地上吗？看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何况我所建的这殿呢？

And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.

你仆人和你民以色列向此处祈祷的时候，求你在天上你的居所垂听，垂听而赦免。

Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

求你在天上垂听，判断你的仆人：定恶人有罪，照他所行的报应在他头上；定义人有理，照他的义赏赐他。

Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

求你在天上垂听，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他们归回你赐给他们列祖之地。

When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:

“你的民因得罪你，你惩罚他们，使天闭塞不下雨；他们若向此处祷告，承认你的名，离开他们的罪，

Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

求你在天上垂听，赦免你仆人以色列民的罪，将当行的善道指教他们，且降雨在你的地，就是你赐给你民为业之地。

Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

求你在天上你的居所垂听赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他们（惟有你知道世人的心），

Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

求你在天上你的居所垂听，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下万民都认识你的名，敬畏你像你的民以色列一样；又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你名下的。

Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

求你在天上垂听他们的祷告祈求，使他们得胜。

Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告祈求，为他们伸冤；

And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

所罗门在耶和华的坛前屈膝跪着，向天举手，在耶和华面前祷告祈求已毕，就起来，

Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.

凡属耶罗波安的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。这是耶和华说的。’

Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.

凡属巴沙的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。”

And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

霎时间，天因风云黑暗，降下大雨。亚哈就坐车往耶斯列去了。

Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.

凡属亚哈的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。’”

And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

米该雅说：“你要听耶和华的话！我看见耶和华坐在宝座上，天上的万军侍立在他左右。

And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

以利亚回答说：“我若是神人，愿火从天上降下来，烧灭你和你那五十人！”于是有火从天上降下来，烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人。

And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

以利亚回答说：“我若是神人，愿火从天上降下来，烧灭你和你那五十人！”于是　神的火从天上降下来，烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人。

Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.

已经有火从天上降下来，烧灭前两次来的五十夫长和他们各自带的五十人；现在愿我的性命在你眼前看为宝贵！”

And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

耶和华要用旋风接以利亚升天的时候，以利亚与以利沙从吉甲前往。

And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

他们正走着说话，忽有火车火马将二人隔开，以利亚就乘旋风升天去了。

Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

有一个搀扶王的军长对神人说：“即便耶和华使天开了窗户，也不能有这事。”以利沙说：“你必亲眼看见，却不得吃。”

And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

那军长对神人说：“即便耶和华使天开了窗户，也不能有这事。”神人说：“你必亲眼看见，却不得吃。”

And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

耶和华并没有说要将以色列的名从天下涂抹，乃藉约阿施的儿子耶罗波安拯救他们。

And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

离弃耶和华他们　神的一切诫命，为自己铸了两个牛犊的像，立了亚舍拉，敬拜天上的万象，侍奉巴力，

And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.

希西家向耶和华祷告说：“坐在二基路伯上耶和华以色列的　神啊，你是天下万国的　神，你曾创造天地。

For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

重新建筑他父希西家所毁坏的邱坛，又为巴力筑坛，做亚舍拉像，效法以色列王亚哈所行的，且敬拜侍奉天上的万象；

And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

他在耶和华殿的两院中为天上的万象筑坛，

And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.

王吩咐大祭司希勒家和副祭司，并把门的，将那为巴力和亚舍拉，并天上万象所造的器皿，都从耶和华殿里搬出来，在耶路撒冷外汲沦溪旁的田间烧了，把灰拿到伯特利去。

And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

从前犹大列王所立拜偶像的祭司，在犹大城邑的邱坛和耶路撒冷的周围烧香，现在王都废去，又废去向巴力和日、月、行星（或译：十二宫），并天上万象烧香的人；

For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

外邦的神都属虚无，惟独耶和华创造诸天。

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

愿天欢喜，愿地快乐；愿人在列邦中说：‘耶和华作王了！’

And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

大卫举目，看见耶和华的使者站在天地间，手里有拔出来的刀，伸在耶路撒冷以上。大卫和长老都身穿麻衣，面伏于地。

And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.

大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛，献燔祭和平安祭，求告耶和华。耶和华就应允他，使火从天降在燔祭坛上。

But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.

以色列人二十岁以内的，大卫没有记其数目；因耶和华曾应许说，必加增以色列人如天上的星那样多。

Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

耶和华啊，尊大、能力、荣耀、强胜、威严都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；国度也是你的，并且你为至高，为万有之首。

But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?

天和天上的天，尚且不足他居住的，谁能为他建造殿宇呢？我是谁？能为他建造殿宇吗？不过在他面前烧香而已。

Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.

又说：“创造天地的耶和华以色列的　神是应当称颂的！他赐给大卫王一个有智慧的儿子，使他有谋略聪明，可以为耶和华建造殿宇，又为自己的国建造宫室。

For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.

（所罗门曾造一个铜台，长五肘，宽五肘，高三肘，放在院中）就站在台上，当着以色列的会众跪下，向天举手，

And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and showest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

说：“耶和华以色列的　神啊，天上地下没有神可比你的！你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱；

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

“　神果真与世人同住在地上吗？看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何况我所建的这殿呢？

Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

你仆人和你民以色列向此处祈祷的时候，求你从天上你的居所垂听，垂听而赦免。

Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

求你从天上垂听，判断你的仆人，定恶人有罪，照他所行的报应在他头上；定义人有理，照他的义赏赐他。

Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

求你从天上垂听，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他们归回你赐给他们和他们列祖之地。

When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

“你的民因得罪你，你惩罚他们，使天闭塞不下雨，他们若向此处祷告，承认你的名，离开他们的罪，

Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.

求你在天上垂听，赦免你仆人和你民以色列的罪，将当行的善道指教他们，且降雨在你的地，就是你赐给你民为业之地。

Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)

求你从天上你的居所垂听赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他们（惟有你知道世人的心），

Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

求你从天上你的居所垂听，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下万民都认识你的名，敬畏你，像你的民以色列一样，又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你名下的。

Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

求你从天上垂听他们的祷告祈求，使他们得胜。

Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.

求你从天上你的居所垂听你民的祷告祈求，为他们伸冤，赦免他们的过犯。

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

所罗门祈祷已毕，就有火从天上降下来，烧尽燔祭和别的祭。耶和华的荣光充满了殿；

If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

我若使天闭塞不下雨，或使蝗虫吃这地的出产，或使瘟疫流行在我民中，

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

这称为我名下的子民，若是自卑、祷告，寻求我的面，转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地。

Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

米该雅说：“你们要听耶和华的话。我看见耶和华坐在宝座上，天上的万军侍立在他左右。

And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

说：“耶和华我们列祖的　神啊，你不是天上的　神吗？你不是万邦万国的主宰吗？在你手中有大能大力，无人能抵挡你。

But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.

但那里有耶和华的一个先知，名叫俄德，出来迎接往撒玛利亚去的军兵，对他们说：“因为耶和华你们列祖的　神恼怒犹大人，所以将他们交在你们手里，你们竟怒气冲天，大行杀戮。

Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.

那时，祭司、利未人起来，为民祝福。他们的声音蒙　神垂听，他们的祷告达到天上的圣所。

And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

希西家王和亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚因此祷告，向天呼求。

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

重新建筑他父希西家所拆毁的邱坛，又为巴力筑坛，做木偶，且敬拜侍奉天上的万象，

And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

他在耶和华殿的两院中为天上的万象筑坛，

Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.

“波斯王居鲁士如此说：耶和华天上的　神已将天下万国赐给我，又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。你们中间凡作他子民的，可以上去，愿耶和华他的　神与他同在。”

Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

“波斯王居鲁士如此说：‘耶和华天上的　神已将天下万国赐给我，又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。

And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.

说：“我的　神啊，我抱愧蒙羞，不敢向我　神仰面；因为我们的罪孽灭顶，我们的罪恶滔天。

And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,

我听见这话，就坐下哭泣，悲哀几日，在天上的　神面前禁食祈祷，说：

And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

“耶和华天上的　神，大而可畏的　神啊，你向爱你、守你诫命的人守约施慈爱。

But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

但你们若归向我，谨守遵行我的诫命，你们被赶散的人虽在天涯，我也必从那里将他们招聚回来，带到我所选择立为我名的居所。’

Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.

王问我说：“你要求什么？”于是我默祷天上的　神。

Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

我回答他们说：“天上的　神必使我们亨通。我们作他仆人的，要起来建造；你们却在耶路撒冷无份、无权、无纪念。”

Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

“你，惟独你是耶和华！你造了天和天上的天，并天上的万象，地和地上的万物，海和海中所有的；这一切都是你所保存的。天军也都敬拜你。

Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:

你也降临在西奈山，从天上与他们说话，赐给他们正直的典章、真实的律法、美好的条例与诫命，

And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.

从天上赐下粮食充他们的饥，从磐石使水流出解他们的渴，又吩咐他们进去得你起誓应许赐给他们的地。

Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

你也使他们的子孙多如天上的星，带他们到你所应许他们列祖进入得为业之地。

Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

所以你将他们交在敌人的手中，磨难他们。他们遭难的时候哀求你，你就从天上垂听，照你的大怜悯赐给他们拯救者，救他们脱离敌人的手。

But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the land of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;

但他们得平安之后，又在你面前行恶，所以你丢弃他们在仇敌的手中，使仇敌辖制他们。然而他们转回哀求你，你仍从天上垂听，屡次照你的怜悯拯救他们，

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

他还说话的时候，又有人来说：“　神从天上降下火来，将群羊和仆人都烧灭了；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

他们远远地举目观看，认不出他来，就放声大哭。各人撕裂外袍，把尘土向天扬起来，落在自己的头上。

As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

云彩消散而过；照样，人下阴间也不再上来。

Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

他独自铺张苍天，步行在海浪之上。

It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

他的智慧高于天，你还能做什么？深于阴间，你还能知道什么？

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

你且问走兽，走兽必指教你；又问空中的飞鸟，飞鸟必告诉你；

So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

人也是如此，躺下不再起来，等到天没有了，仍不得复醒，也不得从睡中唤醒。

O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!

惟愿你把我藏在阴间，存于隐密处，等你的忿怒过去；愿你为我定了日期，记念我。

Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

神不信靠他的众圣者；在他眼前，天也不洁净，

Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.

现今，在天有我的见证，在上有我的中保。

If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

我若盼望阴间为我的房屋，若下榻在黑暗中，

They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

等到安息在尘土中，这指望必下到阴间的门闩那里了。”

Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

他的尊荣虽达到天上，头虽顶到云中，

The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

天要显明他的罪孽；地要兴起攻击他。

They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

他们度日诸事亨通，转眼下入阴间。

Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

“　神岂不是在高天吗？你看星宿何其高呢！

Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

密云将他遮盖，使他不能看见；他周游穹苍。

Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.

干旱炎热消没雪水；阴间也如此消没犯罪之辈。

Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

在　神面前，阴间显露；灭亡也不得遮掩。

The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

天的柱子因他的斥责震动惊奇。

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

藉他的灵使天有妆饰；他的手刺杀快蛇。

The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.

深渊说：‘不在我内’。沧海说：‘不在我中。’

Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

是向一切有生命的眼目隐藏，向空中的飞鸟掩蔽。

For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

因他鉴察直到地极，遍观普天之下，

Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

你要向天观看，瞻望那高于你的穹苍。

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

教训我们胜于地上的走兽，使我们有聪明胜于空中的飞鸟。’

He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

他发响声震遍天下，发电光闪到地极。

Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

“你曾进到海源，或在深渊的隐密处行走吗？

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

冰出于谁的胎？天上的霜是谁生的呢？

The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

诸水坚硬（或译：隐藏）如石头；深渊之面凝结成冰。

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

你知道天的定例吗？能使地归在天的权下吗？

Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

谁能用智慧数算云彩呢？尘土聚集成团，土块紧紧结连；那时，谁能倾倒天上的瓶呢？

Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

谁先给我什么，使我偿还呢？天下万物都是我的。

He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

它行的路随后发光，令人想深渊如同白发。

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

那坐在天上的必发笑；主必嗤笑他们。

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

因为，在死地无人记念你，在阴间有谁称谢你？

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

耶和华我们的主啊，你的名在全地何其美！你将你的荣耀彰显于天。

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

我观看你指头所造的天，并你所陈设的月亮星宿，

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

恶人，就是忘记　神的外邦人，都必归到阴间。

The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

耶和华在他的圣殿里；耶和华的宝座在天上；他的慧眼察看世人。

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

耶和华从天上垂看世人，要看有明白的没有，有寻求　神的没有。

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

因为你必不将我的灵魂撇在阴间，也不叫你的圣者见朽坏。

The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

阴间的绳索缠绕我，死亡的网罗临到我。

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

他又使天下垂，亲自降临，有黑云在他脚下。

The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

耶和华也在天上打雷；至高者发出声音便有冰雹火炭。

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

诸天述说　神的荣耀；穹苍传扬他的手段。

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

它从天这边出来，绕到天那边，没有一物被隐藏不得它的热气。

Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

现在我知道耶和华救护他的受膏者，必从他的圣天上应允他，用右手的能力救护他。

O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

耶和华啊，你曾把我的灵魂从阴间救上来，使我存活，不至于下坑。

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

耶和华啊，求你叫我不至羞愧，因为我曾呼吁你；求你使恶人羞愧，使他们在阴间缄默无声。

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

诸天藉耶和华的命而造；万象藉他口中的气而成。

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

他聚集海水如垒，收藏深洋在库房。

The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

耶和华从天上观看；他看见一切的世人。

Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

耶和华啊，你的慈爱上及诸天；你的信实达到穹苍。

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

你的公义好像高山；你的判断如同深渊。耶和华啊，人民、牲畜，你都救护。

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

你的瀑布发声，深渊就与深渊响应；你的波浪洪涛漫过我身。

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

他们如同羊群派定下阴间；死亡必作他们的牧者。到了早晨，正直人必管辖他们；他们的美容必被阴间所灭，以致无处可存。

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

只是　神必救赎我的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄，因他必收纳我。（细拉）

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

他招呼上天下地，为要审判他的民，

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

诸天必表明他的公义，因为　神是施行审判的。（细拉）

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

神从天上垂看世人，要看有明白的没有？有寻求他的没有？

Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

愿死亡忽然临到他们！愿他们活活地下入阴间！因为他们的住处，他们的心中，都是邪恶。

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

那要吞我的人辱骂我的时候，　神从天上必施恩救我，也必向我发出慈爱和诚实。

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

神啊，愿你崇高过于诸天！愿你的荣耀高过全地！

For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

因为，你的慈爱高及诸天；你的诚实达到穹苍。

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

神啊，愿你崇高过于诸天！愿你的荣耀高过全地！

The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

那时，地见　神的面而震动，天也落雨；西奈山见以色列　神的面也震动。

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

歌颂那自古驾行在诸天以上的主！他发出声音，是极大的声音。

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

愿天和地、洋海和其中一切的动物都赞美他！

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

你是叫我们多经历重大急难的，必使我们复活，从地的深处救上来。

They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

他们的口亵渎上天；他们的舌毁谤全地。

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

除你以外，在天上我有谁呢？除你以外，在地上我也没有所爱慕的。

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

你从天上使人听判断。　神起来施行审判，要救地上一切谦卑的人；那时地就惧怕而静默。（细拉）

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

神啊，诸水见你，一见就都惊惶；深渊也都战抖。

He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.

他在旷野分裂磐石，多多地给他们水喝，如从深渊而出。

Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

他却吩咐天空，又敞开天上的门，

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

降吗哪，像雨给他们吃，将天上的粮食赐给他们。

He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

他领东风起在天空，又用能力引了南风来。

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

把你仆人的尸首交与天空的飞鸟为食，把你圣民的肉交与地上的野兽，

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

万军之　神啊，求你回转！从天上垂看，眷顾这葡萄树，

Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

诚实从地而生；公义从天而现。

For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

因为，你向我发的慈爱是大的；你救了我的灵魂免入极深的阴间。

For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

因为我心里满了患难；我的性命临近阴间。

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

因我曾说：你的慈悲必建立到永远；你的信实必坚立在天上。

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

耶和华啊，诸天要称赞你的奇事；在圣者的会中，要称赞你的信实。

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

天属你，地也属你；世界和其中所充满的都为你所建立。

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

我也要使他的后裔存到永远，使他的宝座如天之久。

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

谁能常活免死、救他的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄呢？（细拉）

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

外邦的神都属虚无；惟独耶和华创造诸天。

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

愿天欢喜，愿地快乐！愿海和其中所充满的澎湃！

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

诸天表明他的公义；万民看见他的荣耀。

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

因为，他从至高的圣所垂看；耶和华从天向地观察，

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手所造的。

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

天离地何等的高，他的慈爱向敬畏他的人也是何等的大！

The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

耶和华在天上立定宝座；他的权柄（原文是国）统管万有。

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

披上亮光，如披外袍，铺张穹苍，如铺幔子，

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

你用深水遮盖地面，犹如衣裳；诸水高过山岭。

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

天上的飞鸟在水旁住宿，在树枝上啼叫。

The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

他们一求，他就使鹌鹑飞来，并用天上的粮食叫他们饱足。

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

并且斥责红海，海便干了；他带领他们经过深处，如同经过旷野。

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

他们上到天空，下到海底；他们的心因患难便消化。

For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

因为，你的慈爱大过诸天；你的诚实达到穹苍。

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

神啊，愿你崇高过于诸天！愿你的荣耀高过全地！

The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

耶和华超乎万民之上；他的荣耀高过诸天。

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

自己谦卑，观看天上地下的事。

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

然而，我们的　神在天上，都随自己的意旨行事。

Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

你们蒙了造天地之耶和华的福！

The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

天，是耶和华的天；地，他却给了世人。

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

死亡的绳索缠绕我；阴间的痛苦抓住我；我遭遇患难愁苦。

For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

耶和华啊，你的话安定在天，直到永远。

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

我的帮助从造天地的耶和华而来。

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

坐在天上的主啊，我向你举目。

Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

我们得帮助，是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和华的名。

The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

愿造天地的耶和华，从锡安赐福给你们！

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

耶和华在天上，在地下，在海中，在一切的深处，都随自己的意旨而行。

To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.

称谢那用智慧造天的，因他的慈爱永远长存。

O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

你们要称谢天上的　神，因他的慈爱永远长存。

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

我若升到天上，你在那里；我若在阴间下榻，你也在那里。

Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

我们的骨头散在墓旁，好像人耕田、刨地的土块。

Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

耶和华啊，求你使天下垂，亲自降临，摸山，山就冒烟。

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

耶和华造天、地、海，和其中的万物；他守诚实，直到永远。

Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

他用云遮天，为地降雨，使草生长在山上。

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

你们要赞美耶和华！从天上赞美耶和华，在高处赞美他！

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

天上的天和天上的水，你们都要赞美他！

Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

所有在地上的，大鱼和一切深洋，

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

愿这些都赞美耶和华的名！因为独有他的名被尊崇；他的荣耀在天地之上。

Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

我们好像阴间，把他们活活吞下；他们如同下坑的人，被我们囫囵吞了；

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

耶和华以智慧立地，以聪明定天，

By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

以知识使深渊裂开，使天空滴下甘露。

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

她的脚下入死地；她脚步踏住阴间，

Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

她的家是在阴间之路，下到死亡之宫。

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

没有深渊，没有大水的泉源，我已生出。

When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

他立高天，我在那里；他在渊面的周围，划出圆圈。

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

上使穹苍坚硬，下使渊源稳固，

But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

人却不知有阴魂在她那里；她的客在阴间的深处。

Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

阴间和灭亡尚在耶和华眼前，何况世人的心呢？

The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

智慧人从生命的道上升，使他远离在下的阴间。

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

你岂要定睛在虚无的钱财上吗？因钱财必长翅膀，如鹰向天飞去。

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

你要用杖打他，就可以救他的灵魂免下阴间。

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

天之高，地之厚，君王之心也测不透。

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

阴间和灭亡永不满足；人的眼目也是如此。

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

谁升天又降下来？谁聚风在掌握中？谁包水在衣服里？谁立定地的四极？他名叫什么？他儿子名叫什么？你知道吗？

The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

就是阴间和石胎，浸水不足的地，并火。

The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

就是鹰在空中飞的道；蛇在磐石上爬的道；船在海中行的道；男与女交合的道。

And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

我专心用智慧寻求、查究天下所做的一切事，乃知　神叫世人所经练的是极重的劳苦。

I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

我心里察究，如何用酒使我肉体舒畅，我心却仍以智慧引导我；又如何持住愚昧，等我看明世人，在天下一生当行何事为美。

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

凡事都有定期，天下万务都有定时。

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

你在　神面前不可冒失开口，也不可心急发言；因为　神在天上，你在地下，所以你的言语要寡少。

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

凡你手所当做的事要尽力去做；因为在你所必去的阴间没有工作，没有谋算，没有知识，也没有智慧。

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

你不可咒诅君王，也不可心怀此念；在你卧房也不可咒诅富户。因为空中的鸟必传扬这声音，有翅膀的也必述说这事。

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

求你将我放在心上如印记，带在你臂上如戳记。因为爱情如死之坚强，嫉恨如阴间之残忍；所发的电光，是火焰的电光，是耶和华的烈焰。
