| | 1 | 你們要稱謝耶和華、求告他的名、在萬民中傳揚他的作為。
Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
| |
| | 2 | 要向他唱詩歌頌、談論他一切奇妙的作為。
Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
| |
| | 3 | 要以他的聖名誇耀．尋求耶和華的人、心中應當歡喜。
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
| |
| | 4 | 要尋求耶和華與他的能力、時常尋求他的面。
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
| |
| | 5 | 他僕人亞伯拉罕的後裔、他所揀選雅各的子孫哪、你們要記念他奇妙的作為、和他的奇事、並他口中的判語。
Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
| |
| | 6 | 見上節
O descendants of Abraham his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| |
| | 7 | 他是耶和華我們的 神．全地都有他的判斷。
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
| |
| | 8 | 他記念他的約、直到永遠、他所吩咐的話、直到千代、
He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,
| |
| | 9 | 就是與亞伯拉罕所立的約、向以撒所起的誓。
the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
| |
| | 10 | 他又將這約向雅各定為律例、向以色列定為永遠的約、
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
| |
| | 11 | 說、我必將迦南地賜給你、作你產業的分。
"To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit."
| |
| | 12 | 當時他們人丁有限、數目稀少、並且在那地為寄居的。
When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
| |
| | 13 | 他們從這邦遊到那邦、從這國行到那國．
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
| |
| | 14 | 他不容甚麼人欺負他們、為他們的緣故、責備君王、
He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
| |
| | 15 | 說、不可難為我受膏的人、也不可惡待我的先知。
"Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."
| |
| | 16 | 他命饑荒降在那地上、將所倚靠的糧食、全行斷絕。
He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
| |
| | 17 | 在他們以先打發一個人去．約瑟被賣為奴僕。
and he sent a man before them--Joseph, sold as a slave.
| |
| | 18 | 人用腳鐐傷他的腳．他被鐵鍊捆拘。
They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
| |
| | 19 | 耶和華的話試煉他、直等到他所說的應驗了。
till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true.
| |
| | 20 | 王打發人把他解開、就是治理眾民的、把他釋放．
The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.
| |
| | 21 | 立他作王家之主、掌管他一切所有的．
He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,
| |
| | 22 | 使他隨意捆綁他的臣宰、將智慧教導他的長老。
to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
| |
| | 23 | 以色列也到了埃及、雅各在含地寄居。
Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
| |
| | 24 | 耶和華使他的百姓生養眾多、使他們比敵人強盛．
The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,
| |
| | 25 | 使敵人的心轉去恨他的百姓、並用詭計待他的僕人。
whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
| |
| | 26 | 他打發他的僕人摩西、和他所揀選的亞倫。
He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
| |
| | 27 | 在敵人中間顯他的神蹟在含地顯他的奇事。
They performed his miraculous signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.
| |
| | 28 | 他命黑暗、就有黑暗．沒有違背他話的。
He sent darkness and made the land dark--for had they not rebelled against his words?
| |
| | 29 | 他叫埃及的水變為血、叫他們的魚死了。
He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.
| |
| | 30 | 在他們的地上、以及王宮的內室、青蛙多多滋生。
Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
| |
| | 31 | 他說一聲、嗞蠅就成群而來、並有虱子進入他們四境。
He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
| |
| | 32 | 他給他們降下冰雹為雨、在他們的地上降下火燄。
He turned their rain into hail, with lightning throughout their land;
| |
| | 33 | 他也擊打他們的葡萄樹、和無花果樹、毀壞他們境內的樹木。
he struck down their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
| |
| | 34 | 他說一聲、就有蝗蟲螞蚱上來、不計其數、
He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;
| |
| | 35 | 喫盡了他們地上各樣的菜蔬、和田地的出產。
they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.
| |
| | 36 | 他又擊殺他們國內一切的長子、就是他們強壯時頭生的。
Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.
| |
| | 37 | 他領自己的百姓帶銀子金子出來．他支派中沒有一個軟弱的。
He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no one faltered.
| |
| | 38 | 他們出來的時候、埃及人便歡喜．原來埃及人懼怕他們。
Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.
| |
| | 39 | 他鋪張雲彩當遮蓋、夜間使火光照。
He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.
| |
| | 40 | 他們一求、他就使鵪鶉飛來、並用天上的糧食、叫他們飽足。
They asked, and he brought them quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
| |
| | 41 | 他打開磐石、水就湧出．在乾旱之處、水流成河。
He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert.
| |
| | 42 | 這都因他記念他的聖言、和他的僕人亞伯拉罕。
For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham.
| |
| | 43 | 他帶領百姓歡樂而出、帶領選民歡呼前往。
He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
| |
| | 44 | 他將列國的地賜給他們、他們便承受眾民勞碌得來的。
he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for--
| |
| | 45 | 好使他們遵他的律例、守他的律法。你們要讚美耶和華。
that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.
