Psalms 阿撒夫诗歌。上主，全能者天主，出令传召下土，由太阳的出处直到太阳的落处。 2 From Zion God shines forth. perfect in beauty. 天主由美丽绝伦的熙雍，发出光明， 3 Our God comes and will not be silent! Devouring fire precedes, storming fiercely round about. 我们的天主来临，绝不会默默无声；吞噬的烈火在他前面开道，旋转的风暴在他四周怒号。 4 God summons the heavens above and the earth to the judgment of his people: 他呼唤了上干下坤，要审判自己的人民： 5＂Gather my faithful ones before me, those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.＂ ＂你们应当给我聚集虔敬我的人，那以牺牲与我订立盟约的人。＂ 6 The heavens proclaim divine justice, for God alone is the judge. Selah 诸天要宣示天主的公正，因为他要亲自审判世人。 7＂Listen, my people, I will speak; Israel, I will testify against you; God, your God, am I. ＂请听，我的子民，我要发出言语，以色列，我向你警戒申诉：我是天主，我是你的天主。 8 Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you, nor for your holocausts, set before me daily. 我并不因你的祭献而责备你，因为我面前常有你的全燔祭。 9 I need no bullock from your house, no goats from your fold. 我无须从你的家里将牛犊获取，也无须由你的圈里把山羊捉捕； 10 For every animal of the forest is mine, beasts by the thousands on my mountains. 因为，森林里的种种生物，全归于我，山陵上的千万走兽，都属于我； 11 I know every bird of the heavens; the creatures of the field belong to me. 天空中的一切飞鸟，我都认识，田野间的所有动物，我全知悉。 12 Were I hungry, I would not tell you, for mine is the world and all that fills it. 如果我饥饿，我不必向你告诉，因宇宙和其中一切尽属我有。 13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats? 难道我吃牛犊的肉块，或者我喝山羊的鲜血？ 14 Offer praise as your sacrifice to God; fulfill your vows to the Most High. 为此你该向天主奉献感恩祭，又该向至高者还你的愿誓。 15 Then call on me in time of distress; I will rescue you, and you shall honor me.＂ 16 But to the wicked God says:＂Why do you recite my commandments and profess my covenant with your lips? 天主却对恶人说：你怎么胆敢传述我的诫命，你的口怎敢朗颂我的法令？ 17 You hate discipline; you cast my words behind you! 你岂不是恼恨规矩，将我的话置诸脑后？ 18 When you see thieves, you befriend them; with adulterers you throw in your lot. 你遇见了盗贼，便与他同僚，与犯奸淫的人，就同流合伙； 19 You give your mouth free rein for evil; you harness your tongue to deceit. 你的口出言不善，你的舌造谣欺骗； 20 You sit maligning your own kin, slandering the child of your own mother. 不停地毁谤你的兄弟，常污辱你母亲的儿子。 21 When you do these things should I be silent? Or do you think that I am like you? I accuse you, I lay the charge before you. 你既作了这些，我岂能缄口不言？难道你竟以为我真能与你一般？我要责斥你，将一切放在你眼前。 22＂Understand this, you who forget God, lest I attack you with no one to rescue. 忘记天主的人们！你们要彻底觉悟，免得我撕裂你们时，没有人来抢救。 23 Those who offer praise as a sacrifice honor me; to the obedient I will show the salvation of God.＂ 奉献感恩祭的人，就是给我奉献光荣赞颂，行为正直的人，我要使他享见天主的救恩。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 50] A covenant lawsuit stating that the sacrifice God really wants is the sacrifice of praise accompanied by genuine obedience (cf Micah 6:1-8). It begins with a theophany and the summoning of the court (Psalm 50:1-6). Then in direct address God explains what is required of the faithful (Psalm 50:7-15), rebukes the hypocritical worshiper (Psalm 50:16-21), and concludes with a threat and a promise (Psalm 50:22-23; cf Isaiah 1:19-20). |
