德训篇 | Sirach |
---|---|
1敬畏上主的;必如此而行;谨守法律的,必获得智慧。 | 1Such is the one who fears the Lord; whoever embraces the Law will obtain wisdom. |
2智慧有如一位荣耀的母亲去迎接他,又如一位童贞的新娘收留他, | 2She will come out to meet him like a mother and greet him like a virgin bride; |
3要用生命和明智的食物养育他,用有益的智慧之水,给他当饮料。他依靠智慧,便不致动摇; | 3she will feed him with the bread of understanding and give him the water of wisdom to drink. |
4他信赖智慧,就不致受辱。智慧要举扬他,超越他的同伴; | 4He will rely on her and will not waver; he will lean on her and will not be let down. |
5在集会中,使他开口发言,使他充满上智聪敏之神,叫他穿上光荣的长袍, | 5Wisdom will make him greater than his friends and he will be able to speak in the full assembly. |
6使他获得喜乐和愉快的冠冕,叫他承受名垂千古的基业。 | 6He will be crowned with happiness and joy. He will inherit an everlasting name. |
7愚昧人不会接受智慧,明智人却去迎接她,罪人决不会见到她,因为,智慧远离骄傲和欺诈。 | 7The fool will never possess her, and sinners will never set eyes on her. |
8说谎的人不会思念她;但诚实的人必能寻见她,直到天主来视察时,他们必有所成就。 | 8She is far away from pride, and liars will know nothing of her. |
9赞颂在罪人口里,是不适宜的,因为不是来自上主; | 9Praise is not fitting on the lips of sinners since it does not come from the Lord. |
10原来赞颂须本于智慧,具有智慧的人,才能教给人智慧。因为智慧来自天主,天主的赞颂常伴随智慧;忠信人的口,必洋溢着这样的赞颂,主宰也必赐给他这样的赞颂。 | 10Praise must come from the wise man; so the Lord himself inspires it. |
11你不要说:「是上主使我没有智慧。」因为,上主不作自己憎恶的事。 | 11Do not say, "It was God who made me sin." God does not cause what he hates. |
12你也不要说:「他迷惑了我。」因为,他用不着罪人。 | 12Do not say, "He made me do wrong," for he has nothing to do with a sinner. |
13凡是可恶的事,上主都憎恨,也不许敬畏他的人遇着这些事。 | 13The Lord hates all evil and those who fear him hate it as well. |
14上主在起初就造了人,并赋给他自决的能力; | 14When he created man in the beginning, he left him free to make his own decisions. |
15又给他定了法律和诫命。 | 15If you wish, you can keep the commandments and it is in your power to remain faithful. |
16假使你愿意,就能遵守他的诫命;成为一个忠信的人,完全在于你自愿。 | 16He has set fire and water before you; you stretch out your hand to whichever you prefer. |
17他在你面前安放了火与水,你可任意伸手选取; | 17Life and death are set before man: whichever a man prefers will be given him. |
18生死善恶,都在人面前;人愿意那样,就赐给他那样。 | 18How magnificent is the wisdom of the Lord! He is powerful and all-seeing. |
19因为,上主的智慧是广大的,他强而有力,不断在察看着万物。 | 19His eyes are on those who fear him. He knows all the works of man. |
20他的眼睛注视敬畏他的人,他洞悉人的一切行为。 | 20He has commanded no one to be godless and has given no one permission to sin. |
21他从未吩咐人作恶,他从未准许人犯罪。 | 21 |
22不要渴望有许多不忠实而无用的子女,也不要因不虔敬的儿子而喜欢。 | 22 |
