我若心裏說：『我要持這言論』，那我就對主你子孫的族類不住了。

我若说，“我要这样讲”，这就是以奸诈待你的众子。

我若说“我要这样讲”，就是愧对这世代的众儿女了。

我若说“我要这样讲”，就是愧对这世代的众儿女了。

要是我这样说，我就是背叛了你的子民。

如果我心里说：“我要说这样的话”，我就是对你这一代的众儿女不忠了。

如果我这样说话，就是对你这一代的儿女背信了。

我若說，我要這樣講，這就是以奸詐待你的眾子。

我若說「我要這樣講」，就是愧對這世代的眾兒女了。

我若說「我要這樣講」，就是愧對這世代的眾兒女了。

要是我這樣說，我就是背叛了你的子民。

如果我心裡說：“我要說這樣的話”，我就是對你這一代的眾兒女不忠了。

如果我這樣說話，就是對你這一代的兒女背信了。

我若自謂必為是言、乃行詐於爾眾子兮、

予言若此、逆上帝眾子兮、

我若如此言論、恐待主之子民不誠實、

我若隨聲和。將遺子孫毒。

If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.

What if I had talked like that? Then I wouldn’t have been faithful to God’s children.

If I had said,“ I will speak thus,” I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

If I had really spoken this way to others, I would have been a traitor to your people.

If I had decided to say these things aloud, I would have betrayed your people.

If I had said,“ I will speak this way,” Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

If I had said,“ I will speak thus,” Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.

If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

If I had decided to say these things aloud, I would have betrayed Your people.

If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend[ against] the generation of thy children.

If I had publicized these thoughts, I would have betrayed your loyal followers.

If I had said,“ I will speak thus”; behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

凡使這些信我的微小者之一個絆跌的，就使一塊驢牽的磨石掛在他的脖子上，沉在海洋裏，對於他還有益。『因了絆跌的事，世界有禍啊！絆跌的事是不能不來的；但絆跌的事由他而來的，那人有禍啊！

這就是求問永恆主的族類，是尋求你聖容的雅各。（細拉）

必有後裔要事奉他；關於主的事，必有人向後代敘說；

不喫肉，不喝酒，不在任何事上叫你的弟兄碰倒、才是好的。

但你們呢、你們乃是蒙揀選的族類，是王家的祭司班，是聖別的邦國，是子民做上帝產業的，要叫你們宣揚那召了你們出黑暗而進入他奇妙之光者的神德。

他們震懾恐懼，因為上帝在義人的族類中。

我兒啊，不可這樣；我親自聽見的報告很不好：你們使永恆主的人民有過犯了。

但你們卻偏離了正路，使許多人在禮節規矩上跌倒；你們破壞了我與利未所立的約：永恆主說。

你若因食物的緣故使你的弟兄憂愁，便不再是依照愛心而行了。基督曾經替他死的人，你可別用你的食物使他失喪了！

那軟弱的人、基督為他死的那弟兄、也就會因你的「知識」而失喪了！你們這樣犯罪害了弟兄、擊傷了他們的良知、便是犯罪敵對着基督了。所以食物若叫我的弟兄絆跌，我就永遠絕不喫肉，免得使我的弟兄絆跌。
