那地的主对我们说,若要我知道你们是诚实人,可以留下你们中间的一个人在我这里,你们可以带着粮食回去,救你们家里的饥荒。
And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
流便对他父亲说,我若不带他回来交给你,你可以杀我的两个儿子。只管把他交在我手里,我必带他回来交给你。
And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
(可拉后裔的训悔诗,交给伶长)神阿,我的心切慕你,如鹿切慕溪水。
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
我昼夜以眼泪当饮食。人不住的对我说,你的神在那里呢。
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
我从前与众人同往,用欢呼称赞的声音,领他们到神的殿里,大家守节。我追想这些事,我的心极其悲伤。
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
你的瀑布发声,深渊就与深渊响应。你的波浪洪涛漫过我身。
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
我要对神我的磐石说,你为何忘记我呢。我为何因仇敌的欺压时常哀痛呢。
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
我的心哪,你为何忧闷,为何在我里面烦躁。应当仰望神。因我还要称赞他。他是我脸上的光荣,(原文作帮助),是我的神。
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
他不喧囔,不扬声,也不使街上听见他的声音。
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
压伤的芦苇,他不折断。将残的灯火,他不吹灭。他凭真实将公理传开。
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
