| 德训篇 | Sirach |
|---|---|
| 1若子女不敬畏上主，虽然众多，你也不要因此而喜欢。 | 1Rejoice not in ungodly children, if they be multiplied: neither be delighted in them, if the fear of God be not with them. |
| 2不要依赖他们的生命，也不要依靠他们的后裔； | 2Trust not to their life, and respect not their labours. |
| 3因为，有一个敬畏天主的儿子，胜过一千个不虔敬的儿女。 | 3For better is one that feareth God, than a thousand ungodly children. |
| 4没有儿子而死，比留下不虔敬的儿子更好。 | 4And it is better to die without children, than to leave ungodly children. |
| 5因为一位智慧人，就能使一城人烟稠密，而罪人的家族，却可使城池荒凉。 | 5By one that is wise a country shall be inhabited, the tribe of the ungodly shall become desolate. |
| 6我亲眼见许多这样的事，我亲耳听到的比此更多。 | 6Many such things hath my eyes seen, and greater things than these my ear hath heard. |
| 7烈火在罪人的集会中燃烧，义怒向背信的民族怒吼。 | 7In the congregation of sinners a fire shall be kindled, and in an unbelieving nation wrath shall dame out. |
| 8对那些倚仗己力而背叛的古代巨人，上主没有息怒； | 8The ancient giants did not obtain pardon for their sins, who were destroyed trusting to their own strength: |
| 9与罗特同城的人，天主也没有宽恕，因为他们的骄傲招了天主的厌恶。 | 9And he spared not the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for the pride of their word. |
| 10他没有怜悯丧亡的子民，即那些因罪恶，而自高自大的人； | 10He had not pity on them, destroying the whole nation that extolled themselves in their sins. |
| 11也同样对待了六十万步兵，即那些因心硬，而齐集反抗的人。如果有一个倔强的人而未受罚，才是奇事。 | 11So did he with the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their heart: and if one had been stiffnecked, it is a wonder if he had escaped unpunished: |
| 12因为，怜悯和义怒全属于上主；他大施宽恕，但也倾注义怒。 | 12For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation: |
| 13他的仁慈大，他的惩罚也同样大；他依照每人的行为审判人。 | 13According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works. |
| 14罪犯及其赃物，逃遁不了；虔敬人的忍耐，不会落空。 | 14The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off. |
| 15凡施舍行善的人，必会获得赏报；各人按自己的行为，及其旅行时所有的明智，必会得到酬报。上主曾硬了法郎的心，致令他不认识上主，和他在天下显示的工程。万物都见到了他的仁慈，他赐给了人光明和黑暗。 | 15All mercy shall make a place for every man according to the merit of his works, and according to the wisdom of his sojournment. |
| 16不要说：「我能逃避上主，在至高处，还有谁会想到我？ | 16Say not: I shall be hidden from God. and who shall remember me from on high? |
| 17在广大的人民中，必然无人认识我；我的性命，在这无量的造物中，又算得什么？」 | 17In such a multitude I shall not be known: for what is my soul in such an immense creation? |
| 18请看天，天外天，深渊，大地和地上的一切所有，当他视察时，都要动摇； | 18Behold the heaven, and the heavens of heavens, the deep, and all the earth, and the things that are in them, shall be moved in his sight, |
| 19山岳和大地的基础，天主一观看，都要颤栗摇撼。 | 19The mountains also, and the hills, and the foundations of the earth: when God shall look upon them, they shall be shaken with trembling. |
| 20对于这些事，人心怎么还不领悟？对众人的心，天主是洞悉的。 | 20And in all these things the heart is senseless: and every heart is understood by him: |
| 21谁能洞察他的道路？正如风暴，人难预见。 | 21And his ways who shall understand, and the storm, which no eye of man see? |
| 22同样，天主的许多作为，也是隐而不见的。「谁能传述他正义的作为？谁能等待那事？因为，他的盟约离一些人尚远。」到末日他才审问众人。 | 22For many of his works are hidden: hut the works of his justice who shall declare? or who shall endure? for the testament is far from some, and the examination of all is in the end. |
| 23心中愚蒙的人，是如此设想；不明智而自欺的人，只思虑狂妄的事。 | 23He that wanteth understanding thinketh vain things: and the foolish, and erring man, thinketh foolish things. |
| 24我儿，你要听从我，你要学习智慧的教训，你要留心注意我的话： | 24Hearken to me, my son, and learn the discipline of understanding, and attend to my words in thy heart. |
| 25我要指出思量过的道理，我要详细陈述智慧；所以，你要在心留意我的话，我要公正地，述说天主从起初就赋与万有的神力：我要真实地，陈述他的智慧。 | 25And I will shew forth good doctrine in equity, and will seek to declare wisdom: and attend to my words in thy heart, whilst with equity of spirit I tell thee the virtues that God hath put upon his works from the beginning, and I shew forth in truth his knowledge. |
| 26太初，上主造化了万物；在创造时，分别了万物的种类。 | 26The works of God are done in judgment from the beginning, and from the making of them he distinguished their parts, and their beginnings in their generations. |
| 27永远把自己的化工布置就序，连续给它们派定了统帅。它们不感觉饥饿，也不感觉疲劳，因为统帅总不停顿自己的工作。 | 27He beautified their works for ever, they have neither hungered, nor laboured, and they have not ceased from their works. |
| 28它们彼此不相侵犯， | 28Nor shall any of them straiten his neighbour at any time. |
| 29永远不违背他的安排。 | 29Be not thou incredulous to his word. |
| 30此后，上主俯视大地，将自己的美善，充满世界； | 30After this God looked upon the earth, and filled it with his goods. |
| 31用各种生物，遮盖了地面；但它们仍要归于尘土。 | 31The soul of every living thing hath shewn forth before the face thereof, and into it they return again. |
