Psalms 50
1 A psalm of Asaph. The Lord, the Almighty God, speaks! He summons everyone on earth, from the east to the west.
亞薩的詩。 大能者上帝－耶和華已經發言招呼天下， 從日出之地到日落之處。
2 God shines out of Mount Zion, perfect in beauty.
從全美的錫安中， 上帝已經發光了。
3 Our God arrives, and does not stay quiet. Fire flames before him, burning everything up; a violent storm rages around him.
我們的上帝要來，決不閉口。 有烈火在他面前吞滅； 有暴風在他四圍大颳。
4 He summons the heavens above and the earth to witness the judgment of his people.
他招呼上天下地， 為要審判他的民，
5 “Bring me those who trust in me—those who confirmed the agreement with me through sacrifice.”
說：招聚我的聖民到我這裏來， 就是那些用祭物與我立約的人。
6 The heavens declare his decisions are right, for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
諸天必表明他的公義， 因為上帝是施行審判的。 (細拉)
7 “My people, listen to what I have to say. I am bringing charges against you, Israel. I am God, your God!
我的民哪，你們當聽我的話！ 以色列啊，我要勸戒你； 我是上帝，是你的上帝！
8 I'm not complaining about your sacrifices or burnt offerings that you offer all the time.
我並不因你的祭物責備你； 你的燔祭常在我面前。
9 I do not require bulls from your barns or goats from your pens,
我不從你家中取公牛， 也不從你圈內取山羊；
10 for I own all the animals of the forest, and the cattle on a thousand hills belong to me.
因為，樹林中的百獸是我的， 千山上的牲畜也是我的。
11 I know every bird of the mountains; all living things in the fields are mine.
山中的飛鳥，我都知道； 野地的走獸也都屬我。
12 If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you, for the earth and everything in it are mine.
我若是飢餓，我不用告訴你， 因為世界和其中所充滿的都是我的。
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
我豈吃公牛的肉呢？ 我豈喝山羊的血呢？
14 Give an offering of thanks to God; keep the promises you made to the Most High,
你們要以感謝為祭獻與上帝， 又要向至高者還你的願，
15 and call on me when you're in trouble. I will rescue you, and you will thank me.”
並要在患難之日求告我； 我必搭救你，你也要榮耀我。
16 But to the wicked God says, “What's the point of mechanically repeating my laws or making empty promises about obeying the agreement?
但上帝對惡人說：你怎敢傳說我的律例， 口中提到我的約呢？
17 You hate my discipline, and you toss my words away, leaving them behind you.
其實你恨惡管教， 將我的言語丟在背後。
18 When you see people stealing, you admire them; you associate with adulterers.
你見了盜賊就樂意與他同夥， 又與行姦淫的人一同有分。
19 With your mouth you say evil things; you use your tongue to spread lies.
你口任說惡言； 你舌編造詭詐。
20 You sit there and speak against your brother, slandering your own mother's son.
你坐着毀謗你的兄弟， 讒毀你親母的兒子。
21 I kept quiet when you did these things. You thought I was someone just like you. But now I confront you, and bring my charges against you.
你行了這些事，我還閉口不言， 你想我恰和你一樣； 其實我要責備你，將這些事擺在你眼前。
22 Think again, you people who dismiss God, or I will tear you apart, and no-one will be able to save you.
你們忘記上帝的，要思想這事， 免得我把你們撕碎，無人搭救。
23 But those who give an offering of thanks honor me, and to those who follow the right I will show them the salvation of God.”
凡以感謝獻上為祭的便是榮耀我； 那按正路而行的，我必使他得着我的救恩。
