Psalms 106
1 Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
你們要讚美耶和華！ 要稱謝耶和華，因他本為善； 他的慈愛永遠長存！
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?
誰能傳說耶和華的大能？ 誰能表明他一切的美德？
3 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
凡遵守公平、常行公義的， 這人便為有福！
4 Remember me, LORD, with the favour that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
耶和華啊，你用恩惠待你的百姓； 求你也用這恩惠記念我，開你的救恩眷顧我，
5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
使我見你選民的福， 樂你國民的樂， 與你的產業一同誇耀。
6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
我們與我們的祖宗一同犯罪； 我們作了孽，行了惡。
7 Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
我們的祖宗在埃及不明白你的奇事， 不記念你豐盛的慈愛， 反倒在紅海行了悖逆。
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
然而，他因自己的名拯救他們， 為要彰顯他的大能，
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
並且斥責紅海，海便乾了； 他帶領他們經過深處，如同經過曠野。
10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
他拯救他們脫離恨他們人的手， 從仇敵手中救贖他們。
11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
水淹沒他們的敵人， 沒有一個存留。
12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
那時，他們才信了他的話， 歌唱讚美他。
13 They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
等不多時，他們就忘了他的作為， 不仰望他的指教，
14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
反倒在曠野大起慾心， 在荒地試探上帝。
15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
他將他們所求的賜給他們， 卻使他們的心靈軟弱。
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD’s saint.
他們又在營中嫉妒摩西 和耶和華的聖者亞倫。
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
地裂開，吞下大坍， 掩蓋亞比蘭一黨的人。
18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burnt up the wicked.
有火在他們的黨中發起； 有火焰燒毀了惡人。
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
他們在何烈山造了牛犢， 叩拜鑄成的像。
20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
如此將他們榮耀的主 換為吃草之牛的像，
21 They forgot God, their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,
忘了上帝－他們的救主； 他曾在埃及行大事，
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
在含地行奇事， 在紅海行可畏的事。
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
所以，他說要滅絕他們； 若非有他所揀選的摩西站在當中， 使他的忿怒轉消， 恐怕他就滅絕他們。
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
他們又藐視那美地， 不信他的話，
25 but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice.
在自己帳棚內發怨言， 不聽耶和華的聲音。
26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
所以，他對他們起誓： 必叫他們倒在曠野，
27 that he would overthrow their offspring amongst the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
叫他們的後裔倒在列國之中， 分散在各地。
28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
他們又與巴力‧毗珥連合， 且吃了祭死神的物。
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
他們這樣行，惹耶和華發怒， 便有瘟疫流行在他們中間。
30 Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgement, so the plague was stopped.
那時，非尼哈站起，刑罰惡人， 瘟疫這才止息。
31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
那就算為他的義， 世世代代，直到永遠。
32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
他們在米利巴水又叫耶和華發怒， 甚至摩西也受了虧損，
33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
是因他們惹動他的靈， 摩西用嘴說了急躁的話。
34 They didn’t destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
他們不照耶和華所吩咐的 滅絕外邦人，
35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learnt their works.
反與他們混雜相合， 學習他們的行為，
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
事奉他們的偶像， 這就成了自己的網羅，
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
把自己的兒女祭祀鬼魔，
38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
流無辜人的血， 就是自己兒女的血， 把他們祭祀迦南的偶像， 那地就被血污穢了。
39 Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
這樣，他們被自己所做的污穢了， 在行為上犯了邪淫。
40 Therefore the LORD burnt with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
所以，耶和華的怒氣向他的百姓發作， 憎惡他的產業，
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
將他們交在外邦人的手裏； 恨他們的人就轄制他們。
42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
他們的仇敵也欺壓他們， 他們就伏在敵人手下。
43 He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
他屢次搭救他們， 他們卻設謀背逆， 因自己的罪孽降為卑下。
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
然而，他聽見他們哀告的時候， 就眷顧他們的急難，
45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
為他們記念他的約， 照他豐盛的慈愛後悔。
46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
他也使他們在凡擄掠他們的人面前蒙憐恤。
47 Save us, LORD, our God, gather us from amongst the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
耶和華－我們的上帝啊，求你拯救我們， 從外邦中招聚我們， 我們好稱讚你的聖名， 以讚美你為誇勝。
48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise the LORD!
耶和華－以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的， 從亙古直到永遠。 願眾民都說：阿們！ 你們要讚美耶和華！
