< 詩篇 135 >

1 阿肋路亞!上主的眾僕請讚頌,請讚頌上主的聖名!
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! Praise Adonai’s name! Praise him, you servants of Adonai,
2 您們服役於上主聖殿的,您們侍立在我主前庭的,
you who stand in Adonai’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.
3 請歌頌上主,因為上主是美善的,歌詠祂的名,因祂的名是甘甜的。
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·, for Adonai is good. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 雅各伯原是上主所選,以色列永遠作祂自己的家產。
For Yah has chosen Jacob [Supplanter] for himself; Israel [God prevails] for his own segulah ·special treasure·.
5 我確實知道,上主偉大無比!我們的上主,超越所有神祇!
For I know that Adonai is great, that our Lord is above all deities.
6 上天及下地,海洋深淵的任何化工,上主只要願意,無一不由祂造成。
Whatever Adonai pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 祂使雲彩由地面現露,祂使電光閃爍而成雨,祂使清風由寶庫發出。
who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings the wind out of his treasuries;
8 祂將埃及的人和牲畜,凡首生者都一起殺戮。
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt [Abode of slavery], both of man and animal;
9 埃及!祂在您內行了奇蹟異能,懲罰了法郎和他的萬眾臣。
Who sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt [Abode of slavery], on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
10 祂擊敗了列國的萬民,祂殺死了強盛的國君:
who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
11 阿摩黎王息紅、巴商王敖格,以及客納罕地的王侯官吏。
Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan [Humbled],
12 祂將他們的土地變作產業,賜給了自己的人民以色列。
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel [God prevails], his people.
13 上主,您的聖名千秋留存,上主,您的記念,萬世常新。
Your name, Adonai, endures forever; your renown, Adonai, throughout all generations.
14 因為上主護衛自己的百姓,對自己的僕人們表示憐憫。
For Adonai will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
15 異民的偶像,無非金銀,只是人手中的製造品:
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 偶像有口,而不能言;偶像有眼,而不能看;
They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.
17 偶像有耳,而聽不見;偶像有鼻,而無氣喘。
They have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 鑄造偶像的人,將與偶像同亡,凡信賴偶像的人,也將是一樣。
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 以色列家族,請讚頌上主!亞郎家族,請讚頌上主!
House of Israel [God prevails], praise Adonai! House of Aaron [Light-bringer], praise Adonai!
20 肋末的家族,請讚頌上主!敬愛上主的人讚頌上主!
House of Levi [United with], praise Adonai! You who fear Adonai, praise Adonai!
21 住在耶路撒冷的君王,願他由熙雍承受讚頌!
Blessed be Adonai from Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], Who dwells at Jerusalem [City of peace]. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
