< Psalms 95 >

1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
請大家前來向上主歡呼,齊向救助我們的磐石歌舞。
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
一齊到祂面前感恩讚頌,向祂歌唱聖詩,歡呼吟詠。
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
因為上主是尊高的天主,是超越諸神的偉大聖主;
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
大地深淵都在祂的手中,高山崚嶺都是祂的化工。
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
海洋屬於祂,因為是祂所創造;陸地屬於祂,因為是祂所形成。
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
請大家前來叩首致敬,向造我們的上主跪拜。
7 He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
因為祂是我們的真神,我們是祂牧養的人民,是祂親手引導的羊群。您們今天該聽從祂的聲音:
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
不要再像在默黎巴那樣心頑,也不要像在曠野中瑪撒那天!
9 There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
您們的祖先雖然見過我的工作,在那裏他們還是試探我,考驗我。
10 For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
四十年之久,我厭惡了那一世代,曾說:這百姓心中迷惑,不肯承認我的真道,
11 So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
因此我懷著憤怒而起說:他們決不得進入我的的安所。
