< Psalms 95 >
1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
来啊,我们要向耶和华歌唱, 向拯救我们的磐石欢呼!
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
我们要来感谢他, 用诗歌向他欢呼!
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
因耶和华为大 神, 为大王,超乎万神之上。
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
地的深处在他手中; 山的高峰也属他。
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
海洋属他,是他造的; 旱地也是他手造成的。
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
来啊,我们要屈身敬拜, 在造我们的耶和华面前跪下。
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.
因为他是我们的 神; 我们是他草场的羊,是他手下的民。 惟愿你们今天听他的话:
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
你们不可硬着心,像当日在米利巴, 就是在旷野的玛撒。
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].
那时,你们的祖宗试我探我, 并且观看我的作为。
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,我厌烦那世代,说: 这是心里迷糊的百姓, 竟不晓得我的作为!
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!’”
所以,我在怒中起誓,说: 他们断不可进入我的安息!
