有福的人：喜愛神的律法

¹不從惡人的計謀，不站罪人的道路，不坐褻慢人的座位，Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

²惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福！But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

³他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁，按時候結果子，葉子也不枯乾。凡他所做的盡都順利。He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

惡人像糠秕

⁴惡人並不是這樣，乃像糠秕被風吹散。Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

⁵因此，當審判的時候惡人必站立不住；罪人在義人的會中也是如此。Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

⁶因為耶和華知道義人的道路；惡人的道路卻必滅亡。For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

列國為甚麼爭鬧

¹外邦為甚麼爭鬧？萬民為甚麼謀算虛妄的事？Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

²世上的君王一齊起來，臣宰一同商議，要敵擋耶和華並他的受膏者，The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

神的義在律法以外顯明

²¹但如今，　神的義在律法以外已經顯明出來，有律法和先知為證：But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.

²²就是　神的義，因信耶穌基督加給一切相信的人，並沒有分別。And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,

²³因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了　神的榮耀；for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

²⁴如今卻蒙　神的恩典，因基督耶穌的救贖，就白白地稱義。and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

耶穌作挽回祭

²⁵神設立耶穌作挽回祭，是憑著耶穌的血，藉著人的信，要顯明　神的義；因為他用忍耐的心寬容人先時所犯的罪，God presented Him as an atoning sacrifice in His blood through faith, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.

²⁶好在今時顯明他的義，使人知道他自己為義，也稱信耶穌的人為義。He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.

沒有可誇的

²⁷既是這樣，哪裡能誇口呢？沒有可誇的了。用何法沒有的呢？是用立功之法嗎？不是，乃用信主之法。Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.

²⁸所以（有古卷：因為）我們看定了：人稱義是因著信，不在乎遵行律法。For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

²⁹難道　神只作猶太人的　神嗎？不也是作外邦人的　神嗎？是的，也作外邦人的　神。Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

³⁰神既是一位，他就要因信稱那受割禮的為義，也要因信稱那未受割禮的為義。since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.

³¹這樣，我們因信廢了律法嗎？斷乎不是！更是堅固律法。Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we uphold the law.

亞伯拉罕因信稱義

¹如此說來，我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕憑著肉體得了甚麼呢？What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has discovered?

²倘若亞伯拉罕是因行為稱義，就有可誇的；只是在　神面前並無可誇。If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.

³經上說甚麼呢？說：「亞伯拉罕信　神，這就算為他的義。」For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

⁴做工的得工價，不算恩典，乃是該得的；Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.

⁵惟有不做工的，只信稱罪人為義的　神，他的信就算為義。However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

大衛論蒙赦免的福

⁶正如大衛稱那在行為以外蒙　神算為義的人是有福的。And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

⁷他說：得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的，這人是有福的。“Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

⁸主不算為有罪的，這人是有福的。Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

在受割禮以前就算為義

⁹如此看來，這福是單加給那受割禮的人嗎？不也是加給那未受割禮的人嗎？因我們所說，亞伯拉罕的信，就算為他的義，Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.

¹⁰是怎麼算的呢？是在他受割禮的時候呢？是在他未受割禮的時候呢？不是在受割禮的時候，乃是在未受割禮的時候。In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.

¹¹並且他受了割禮的記號，作他未受割禮的時候因信稱義的印證，叫他作一切未受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也算為義；And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

¹²又作受割禮之人的父，就是那些不但受割禮，並且按我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕未受割禮而信之蹤跡去行的人。And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

應許是因信而得

¹³因為　神應許亞伯拉罕和他後裔，必得承受世界，不是因律法，乃是因信而得的義。For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

¹⁴若是屬乎律法的人才得為後嗣，信就歸於虛空，應許也就廢棄了。For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,

¹⁵因為律法是惹動忿怒的（或譯：叫人受刑的）；哪裡沒有律法，那裡就沒有過犯。because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.

¹⁶所以人得為後嗣是本乎信，因此就屬乎恩，叫應許定然歸給一切後裔；不但歸給那屬乎律法的，也歸給那效法亞伯拉罕之信的。Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

¹⁷亞伯拉罕所信的，是那叫死人復活、使無變為有的　神，他在主面前作我們世人的父。如經上所記：「我已經立你作多國的父。」As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.

在無可指望時仍有指望

¹⁸他在無可指望的時候，因信仍有指望，就得以作多國的父，正如先前所說：「你的後裔將要如此。」Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”

¹⁹他將近百歲的時候，雖然想到自己的身體如同已死，撒拉的生育已經斷絕，他的信心還是不軟弱；Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.

²⁰並且仰望　神的應許，總沒有因不信心裡起疑惑，反倒因信心裡得堅固，將榮耀歸給　神，Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

²¹且滿心相信　神所應許的必能做成。being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.

²²所以，這就算為他的義。This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”

也是為我們寫的

²⁴也是為我們將來得算為義之人寫的，就是我們這信　神使我們的主耶穌從死裡復活的人。but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

²⁵耶穌被交給人，是為我們的過犯；復活，是為叫我們稱義（或譯：耶穌是為我們的過犯交付了，是為我們稱義復活了）。He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.
