|---|---|
| 1義人的靈魂在天主手裏，痛苦不能傷害他們。 | 1The souls of the just are in the hands of God and no torment shall touch them. |
| 2在愚人看來，他們算是死了，認為他們去世是受了懲罰， | 2In the eyes of the unwise they appear to be dead. Their going is held as a disaster; |
| 3離我們而去，彷彿是歸於泯滅；其實，他們是處於安寧中； | 3it seems that they lose everything by departing from us, but they are in peace. |
| 4雖然在人看來，他們是受了苦；其實，卻充滿着永生的希望。 | 4Though seemingly they have been punished, immortality was the soul of their hope. |
| 5他們受了些許的痛苦，卻要蒙受絕大的恩惠，因為天主試驗了他們，發覺他們配作自己的人： | 5After slight affliction will come great blessings, for God has tried them and found them worthy to be with him; |
| 6他試煉了他們，好像爐中的黃金；悅納了他們，有如悅納全燔祭。 | 6after testing them as gold in the furnace, he has accepted them as a holocaust. |
| 7他們蒙眷顧時，必要閃爍發光，有如禾稭間往來飛馳的火花。 | 7At the time of his coming they will shine like sparks that run in the stubble. |
| 8他們要審判萬國，統治萬民，上主要永遠作他們的君王。 | 8They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their king forever. |
| 9倚恃上主的人，必明白真理；忠信於上主之愛的人，必與他同住，因為恩澤與仁慈，原歸於他所選拔的人。 | 9Those who trust in him will penetrate the truth, those who are faithful will live with him in love, for his grace and mercy are for his chosen ones. |
| 10但是不虔敬的人，必因他們的思念而遭受懲罰，因為他們蔑視了義人，離棄了上主。 | 10But the godless who have ignored the upright and deserted the Lord, will meet the punishment their evil thoughts deserve. |
| 11輕視智慧和教訓的人是有禍的：他們的希望只有落空，勞苦只有徒勞，工作只有失敗； | 11Unhappy are those who put no value on wisdom and instruction, their hope is vain, their efforts useless, their work without profit; |
| 12他們的妻子愚蠢，子女邪惡，後裔可咒罵。 | 12their wives are foolish, their children evil, their posterity cursed. |
| 13荒胎無罪，而又不知床笫罪惡的婦女，是有福的；到靈魂受眷顧的時候，她必富有果實。 | 13Happy the childless wife if she is blameless and has not been guilty of adultery; she will be found fruitful on the day of judgment. |
| 14同樣，不生育的男人，手若不作非法的行為，心不思念相反上主的惡事，是有福的；天主見他忠貞，必賜給他特賞，在上主的聖殿中，賜給他更稱心的一份。 | 14And happy the impotent man who has done no evil or harbored resentful thoughts against the Lord. His fidelity will be richly rewarded with a special place in the Lord's heavenly sanctuary. |
| 15因為高尚的勞苦必結榮譽的果實，智慧的根蒂絕不會中斷。 | 15The toil of the righteous bears choice fruit; and wise discernment is a tree that does not wither. |
| 16淫亂的兒子長不到成年，苟合而生的子孫必將滅絕。 | 16But the children born of adultery die young and the offspring of an unlawful union disappear. |
| 17他們縱使長命，也不值一文；就是到了高年，也無人尊敬； | 17If they live long, they count for nothing and are finally despised in their old age. |
| 18假若他們早死，也沒有什麼希望，在審判之日，也沒有安慰。 | 18If they die young, it is without hope, and they cannot comfort themselves with thinking of the Judgment. |
| 19惡人後裔的結局實在悲慘。 | 19Cruel is the fate of an evil race. |
