詩篇 50
1 亞薩的詩。 大能者上帝－耶和華已經發言招呼天下， 從日出之地到日落之處。
A Psalm by Asaph. The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
2 從全美的錫安中， 上帝已經發光了。
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.
3 我們的上帝要來，決不閉口。 有烈火在他面前吞滅； 有暴風在他四圍大颳。
Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
4 他招呼上天下地， 為要審判他的民，
He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 說：招聚我的聖民到我這裏來， 就是那些用祭物與我立約的人。
“Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6 諸天必表明他的公義， 因為上帝是施行審判的。 (細拉)
The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)
7 我的民哪，你們當聽我的話！ 以色列啊，我要勸戒你； 我是上帝，是你的上帝！
“Hear, my people, and I will speak. Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
8 我並不因你的祭物責備你； 你的燔祭常在我面前。
I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9 我不從你家中取公牛， 也不從你圈內取山羊；
I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
10 因為，樹林中的百獸是我的， 千山上的牲畜也是我的。
For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
11 山中的飛鳥，我都知道； 野地的走獸也都屬我。
I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
12 我若是飢餓，我不用告訴你， 因為世界和其中所充滿的都是我的。
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 我豈吃公牛的肉呢？ 我豈喝山羊的血呢？
Will I eat the meat of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 你們要以感謝為祭獻與上帝， 又要向至高者還你的願，
Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
15 並要在患難之日求告我； 我必搭救你，你也要榮耀我。
Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honour me.”
16 但上帝對惡人說：你怎敢傳說我的律例， 口中提到我的約呢？
But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
17 其實你恨惡管教， 將我的言語丟在背後。
since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
18 你見了盜賊就樂意與他同夥， 又與行姦淫的人一同有分。
When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
19 你口任說惡言； 你舌編造詭詐。
“You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
20 你坐着毀謗你的兄弟， 讒毀你親母的兒子。
You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.
21 你行了這些事，我還閉口不言， 你想我恰和你一樣； 其實我要責備你，將這些事擺在你眼前。
You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
22 你們忘記上帝的，要思想這事， 免得我把你們撕碎，無人搭救。
“Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.
23 凡以感謝獻上為祭的便是榮耀我； 那按正路而行的，我必使他得着我的救恩。
Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”
