求你記念大衛

¹（上行之詩。）耶和華啊，求你記念大衛所受的一切苦難！A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,

²他怎樣向耶和華起誓，向雅各的大能者許願，how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

³說：我必不進我的帳幕，也不上我的床榻；“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

⁴我不容我的眼睛睡覺，也不容我的眼目打盹；I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

⁵直等我為耶和華尋得所在，為雅各的大能者尋得居所。until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

迎接約櫃

⁶我們聽說約櫃在以法他，我們在基列‧耶琳就尋見了。We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

⁷我們要進他的居所，在他腳凳前下拜。Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

⁸耶和華啊，求你興起，和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所！Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

⁹願你的祭司披上公義！願你的聖民歡呼！May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

¹⁰求你因你僕人大衛的緣故，不要厭棄你的受膏者！For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

耶和華向大衛起誓

¹¹耶和華向大衛、憑誠實起了誓，必不反覆，說：我要使你所生的坐在你的寶座上。The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

¹²你的眾子若守我的約和我所教訓他們的法度，他們的子孫必永遠坐在你的寶座上。If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

耶和華揀選了錫安

¹³因為耶和華揀選了錫安，願意當作自己的居所，For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:

¹⁴說：這是我永遠安息之所；我要住在這裡，因為是我所願意的。“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.

¹⁵我要使其中的糧食豐滿，使其中的窮人飽足。I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶我要使祭司披上救恩，聖民大聲歡呼！I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.

¹⁷我要叫大衛的角在那裡發生；我為我的受膏者預備明燈。There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

¹⁸我要使他的仇敵披上羞恥；但他的冠冕要在頭上發光。I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”

弟兄和睦同居

¹（大衛上行之詩。）看哪，弟兄和睦同居是何等地善，何等地美！A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

²這好比那貴重的油澆在亞倫的頭上，流到鬍鬚，又流到他的衣襟；It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard over the collar of his robes.

³又好比黑門的甘露降在錫安山；因為在那裡有耶和華所命定的福，就是永遠的生命。It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD has bestowed the blessing of life forevermore.

夜間在殿中稱頌耶和華

¹（上行之詩。）耶和華的僕人夜間站在耶和華殿中的，你們當稱頌耶和華！A song of ascents. Come, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who serve by night in the house of the LORD!

²你們當向聖所舉手，稱頌耶和華！Lift up your hands to the sanctuary and bless the LORD!

³願造天地的耶和華，從錫安賜福給你們！May the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.

稱讚他們堅守所傳的

²我稱讚你們，因你們凡事記念我，又堅守我所傳給你們的。Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.

禱告時蒙頭的問題

³我願意你們知道，基督是各人的頭；男人是女人的頭；　神是基督的頭。But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

⁴凡男人禱告或是講道（或譯：說預言；下同），若蒙著頭，就羞辱自己的頭。Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

⁵凡女人禱告或是講道，若不蒙著頭，就羞辱自己的頭，因為這就如同剃了頭髮一樣。And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

⁶女人若不蒙著頭，就該剪了頭髮；女人若以剪髮、剃髮為羞愧，就該蒙著頭。If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

⁷男人本不該蒙著頭，因為他是　神的形像和榮耀；但女人是男人的榮耀。A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

⁸起初，男人不是由女人而出，女人乃是由男人而出；For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

⁹並且男人不是為女人造的，女人乃是為男人造的。Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

¹⁰因此，女人為天使的緣故，應當在頭上有服權柄的記號。For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

¹¹然而照主的安排，女也不是無男，男也不是無女。In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

¹²因為女人原是由男人而出，男人也是由女人而出；但萬有都是出乎　神。For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

¹³你們自己審察，女人禱告　神，不蒙著頭是合宜的嗎？Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

¹⁴你們的本性不也指示你們，男人若有長頭髮，便是他的羞辱嗎？Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

¹⁵但女人有長頭髮，乃是她的榮耀，因為這頭髮是給她作蓋頭的。but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

¹⁶若有人想要辯駁，我們卻沒有這樣的規矩，　神的眾教會也是沒有的。If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

聚會不是受益，乃是招損

¹⁷我現今吩咐你們的話，不是稱讚你們；因為你們聚會不是受益，乃是招損。In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.

¹⁸第一，我聽說，你們聚會的時候彼此分門別類，我也稍微地信這話。First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

¹⁹在你們中間不免有分門結黨的事，好叫那些有經驗的人顯明出來。And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.

²⁰你們聚會的時候，算不得吃主的晚餐；Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.

²¹因為吃的時候，各人先吃自己的飯，甚至這個飢餓，那個酒醉。For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk.

²²你們要吃喝，難道沒有家嗎？還是藐視　神的教會，叫那沒有的羞愧呢？我向你們可怎麼說呢？可因此稱讚你們嗎？我不稱讚！Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!

主設立晚餐

²³我當日傳給你們的，原是從主領受的，就是主耶穌被賣的那一夜，拿起餅來，For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,

²⁴祝謝了，就擘開，說：「這是我的身體，為你們捨（有古卷：擘開）的，你們應當如此行，為的是記念我。」and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

²⁵飯後，也照樣拿起杯來，說：「這杯是用我的血所立的新約，你們每逢喝的時候，要如此行，為的是記念我。」In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

²⁶你們每逢吃這餅，喝這杯，是表明主的死，直等到他來。For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

要省察自己

²⁷所以，無論何人，不按理吃主的餅，喝主的杯，就是干犯主的身、主的血了。Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

²⁸人應當自己省察，然後吃這餅、喝這杯。Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.

²⁹因為人吃喝，若不分辨是主的身體，就是吃喝自己的罪了。For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

³⁰因此，在你們中間有好些軟弱的與患病的，死（原文是睡）的也不少。That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

³¹我們若是先分辨自己，就不至於受審。Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.

³²我們受審的時候，乃是被主懲治，免得我們和世人一同定罪。But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

聚會吃的時候要彼此等待

³³所以我弟兄們，你們聚會吃的時候，要彼此等待。So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

³⁴若有人飢餓，可以在家裡先吃，免得你們聚會，自己取罪。其餘的事，我來的時候再安排。If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.
