| 德訓篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1遵守法律，便等於獻的祭獻多。 | 1Keeping the Law is worth many offerings. Being faithful to the commandments is like a peace offering. |
| 2堅守誡命，遠離一切邪惡，便是奉獻和平祭。 | 2Returning kindness is an offering of fine flour; giving alms is a sacrifice of praise. |
| 3遠離邪惡，就是舉行贖罪祭，和為所犯的罪求赦的祈禱。 | 3Renouncing sin pleases the Lord, and shunning injustice is a sacrifice of atonement. |
| 4感恩等於奉獻上等麵粉，施捨等於讚美祭。 | 4Do not appear before the Lord with empty hands. The commandment requires that you bring an offering. |
| 5遠離邪惡，就是悅樂上主；逃避不義，便是贖罪祭。 | 5When the offering of the righteous is burned on the altar, the fat drips down and a fragrant aroma rises to the Most High. |
| 6不要空手到上主面前去。 | 6The sacrifice of the just man pleases God and will not be forgotten. |
| 7因為這一切，為了天主的誡命，都應當執行。 | 7Honor the Lord with a generous heart and do not be stingy with the first fruits of your harvest. |
| 8義人的獻儀，使祭壇豐盈；它的馨香上升到至高者面前。 | 8Offer your gifts with a smiling face and when you pay your tithes do it gladly. |
| 9義人的祭品，必蒙悅納；上主常記得它，決不會忘記。 | 9Give to the Most High as he has given to you; give generously to the Lord according to what you have; |
| 10你光榮上主要爽快，不要吝惜你手中所獻的初熟之果。 | 10the Lord will repay, he will reward you sevenfold. |
| 11在一切祭獻上，要喜形於色；奉獻什一之物時，也要高興。 | 11If you attempt to bribe him with gifts he will not accept them; do not rely on offerings from dishonest gain. |
| 12按照至高者所賜給你的，奉獻給他；依照你手中所得的，慷慨奉獻給他； | 12The Lord is judge and shows no partiality. |
| 13因為報答世人的上主，必要七倍地報答你。 | 13He will not disadvantage the poor, he who hears the prayer of the oppressed. |
| 14你不要行賄賂，因為他決不會接受的。 | 14He does not disdain the plea of the orphan, nor the complaint of the widow. |
| 15你不要依靠不義的祭品，因為上主是審判者，決不看情面。 | 15When tears flow down her cheeks, is she not crying out against the one who caused her to weep? |
| 16他決不偏袒任何人，而加害窮人；他倒樂於俯聽受壓迫者的祈禱。 | 16The one who serves God wholeheartedly will be heard; his petition will reach the clouds. |
| 17他決不輕視孤兒的哀求，和寡婦訴苦的嘆息。 | 17The prayer of the humble person pierces the clouds, and he is not consoled until he has been heard. |
| 18寡婦的淚，豈不是沿頰流下來？她的哀號，豈不是控告那使她流淚的人？ | 18His prayer will not cease until the Most High has looked down, until justice has been done in favor of the righteous. |
| 19她的眼淚，從面頰上達於天，俯聽的上主見了，非常不滿。 | 19And the Lord will not delay, nor will he be patient with the wicked, |
| 20凡誠心誠意恭敬天主的，必蒙接納；他的祈禱上徹雲霄。 | 20but he will crush the backbone of the merciless and have vengeance on the nations, |
| 21謙卑人的祈禱，穿雲而上，不達到目的，決不甘休；不等至高者見了，為義人伸冤，執行正義，決不離開。 | 21until he has completely destroyed the hordes of the violent and broken the power of the wicked, |
| 22上主決不遲延，至剛毅者決不再容忍他們，必要粉碎殘忍人的腰背， | 22until he has repaid each one according to his deeds, |
| 23必對異邦人實行報復；直到他將強橫的群眾剷除，將不義者權杖折斷； | 23until he has judged his people and made them rejoice because of his mercy. |
| 24直到他按照每人的行為還報他們，依照人們的圖謀，報答他們的工作； | 24Blessed is his mercy in the time of adversity! It is like rain clouds during a drought! |
| 25直到他裁判自己百姓的案件，使他們因自己的仁慈得到喜悅。 | 25 |
| 26在患難時，天主的仁慈是甘飴的，有如大旱時的雲雨。 | 26 |
