< 诗篇 105 >
1 你们要称谢耶和华,求告他的名, 在万民中传扬他的作为!
Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
3 要以他的圣名夸耀! 寻求耶和华的人,心中应当欢喜!
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
5 他仆人亚伯拉罕的后裔, 他所拣选雅各的子孙哪, 你们要记念他奇妙的作为和他的奇事, 并他口中的判语。
Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
8 他记念他的约,直到永远; 他所吩咐的话,直到千代—
He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
10 他又将这约向雅各定为律例, 向以色列定为永远的约,
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
12 当时,他们人丁有限,数目稀少, 并且在那地为寄居的。
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14 他不容什么人欺负他们, 为他们的缘故责备君王,
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
15 说:不可难为我受膏的人, 也不可恶待我的先知。
“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
16 他命饥荒降在那地上, 将所倚靠的粮食全行断绝,
He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
20 王打发人把他解开, 就是治理众民的,把他释放,
The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
22 使他随意捆绑他的臣宰, 将智慧教导他的长老。
to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
24 耶和华使他的百姓生养众多, 使他们比敌人强盛,
And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
25 使敌人的心转去恨他的百姓, 并用诡计待他的仆人。
whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
30 在他们的地上以及王宫的内室, 青蛙多多滋生。
Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
31 他说一声,苍蝇就成群而来, 并有虱子进入他们四境。
He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.
32 他给他们降下冰雹为雨, 在他们的地上降下火焰。
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
33 他也击打他们的葡萄树和无花果树, 毁坏他们境内的树木。
He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
36 他又击杀他们国内一切的长子, 就是他们强壮时头生的。
Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37 他领自己的百姓带银子金子出来; 他支派中没有一个软弱的。
He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
38 他们出来的时候,埃及人便欢喜; 原来埃及人惧怕他们。
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
40 他们一求,他就使鹌鹑飞来, 并用天上的粮食叫他们饱足。
They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 他打开磐石,水就涌出; 在干旱之处,水流成河。
He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
44 他将列国的地赐给他们, 他们便承受众民劳碌得来的,
He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
45 好使他们遵他的律例, 守他的律法。 你们要赞美耶和华!
that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
