6 you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect.
天主的僕人亞巴郎的後裔，上主揀選的雅各伯的兒子！
7 He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth.
祂是上主，是我們的天主，祂的統治遍及普世各處。
8 He has remembered his covenant for all ages: the word that he entrusted to a thousand generations,
祂永遠懷念著自己的盟約，直到萬代不忘自己的許諾；
9 which he assigned to Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
就是向亞巴郎所立的盟約，向依撒格所起的誓諾，
10 And he stationed the same for Jacob with a precept, and for Israel with an eternal testament,
為雅各伯立為不移的規條，向以色列立為永遠的盟約，
11 saying: To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the allotment of your inheritance.
說：我必將客納罕地賜給您，作您們產業的一分子。
12 Though they may have been but a small number, very few and foreigners there,
當他們在那裏僑居時，寥寥無幾而人數極桸。
13 and though they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
從這一族系遷移到另一族系，從這一國家飄流到另一地域。
14 he allowed no man to harm them, and he reproved kings on their behalf.
祂不但不讓人把他們壓迫，且為了他們還把眾王責斥，
15 Do not be willing to touch my Christ, and do not be willing to malign my prophets.
說：您們決不可觸犯我的受傅者，您們切不可把我的先知傷害！
16 And he called a famine upon the land, and he crushed every foundation of the bread.

在他們以前祂將一人遣去，就是那被出賣為奴隸的若瑟。
18 They humbled his feet in shackles; the iron pierced his soul,
人以銬鐐扣他的雙腳，他的頸項也帶上了鐵鎖，
19 until his word arrived. The eloquence of the Lord inflamed him.
直到他所講的那預言實現，上主的話才在他身上應驗。
20 The king sent and released him; he was the ruler of the people, and he dismissed him.
君王遂派人釋放了他，眾民的首長解救了他。
21 He established him as master of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
且立他為王家的宰相，掌管一切皇產的侯王，
22 so that he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his elders prudence.
讓他隨意指導通國的王侯，以其智謀教訓通國的長老。
23 And Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.
從此以色列進入了埃及，雅各伯也就在含邦作客。
24 And he helped his people greatly, and he strengthened them over their enemies.
上主使祂的百姓昌旺，比他們的仇敵便強壯。
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
祂轉變他們的心，仇恨祂的百姓，讓他們陰險殘酷對待祂的僕人。
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the one whom he chose.
祂打發祂的僕人梅瑟和所揀選的亞郎，
27 He placed with them signs of his word, and portents in the land of Ham.
叫二人對他們將奇蹟和異事行於含邦。

祂一發令，蒼蠅便成群飛來，蚊蚋也在他們的各地徘徊，
32 He gave them a shower of hail and a burning fire, in the same land.
代昝時雨，為他們降下冰雹，在他們全國各地雷電閃爍，
33 And he struck their vineyards and their fig trees, and he crushed the trees of their region.
打壞他們的葡萄和無花果樹，又擊倒了他們國內的樹木。
34 He spoke, and the locust came forth, and the caterpillar, of which there was no number.
祂一癹命令蝗虫飛遍，蚱蜢的數目，無法計算，
35 And it devoured all the grass in their land, and it consumed all the fruit of their land.
吃光他們地裏所有的青草，吞盡他們田間所有的百果。

40 They petitioned, and the quail came; and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
他們一懇求，祂就送來鵪鶉，用天降的食糧，飽飫了他們。
41 He ruptured the rock and the waters flowed: rivers gushed in the dry land.
祂闢開了岩石，使水湧出，在沙漠中好像江河流注。
42 For he had called to mind his holy word, which he kept near to his servant Abraham.
因為祂沒有把祂神聖的許諾遺忘，並且也常懷念著祂的僕人亞巴郎。
43 And he led forth his people in exultation, and his elect in rejoicing.
祂引百姓歡樂地離去，祂率領選民欣然出走。
44 And he gave them the regions of the Gentiles, and they possessed the labors of the peoples,
給劃分了異民的領土，使他們佔領了外人的財富，
45 so that they might observe his justifications, and inquire about his law.
為叫他們遵行祂的誡命，格守祂的命令。阿肋路亞。
