78:1 我的民哪，你们要留心听我的教训，侧耳听我口中的话。
Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
78:2 我要开口说比喻；我要说出古时的谜语，
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter riddles from of old,
78:3 是我们所听见所知道的，也是我们的祖宗向我们所述说的。
Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have related to us.
78:4 我们不将这些事向他们的子孙隐瞒，要将耶和华当得的赞美，和祂的能力，并祂所作的奇事，述说给后代听。
We will not hide them from their children, But will relate to the generation to come The praises of Jehovah and His strength And His wondrous deeds that He has done.
78:5 因为祂在雅各中立了见证，在以色列中设了律法，是祂吩咐我们祖宗，要他们给子孙知道的；
Indeed He has established a testimony in Jacob And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers That they should make them known to their children;
78:6 使将要生的后代子孙，可以晓得；他们也要起来向他们的子孙述说；
That the generation to come, The children to be born, may know them, Who should arise and relate them to their children;
78:7 好叫他们寄望于神，不忘记神的作为，惟要遵守祂的命令；
That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the deeds of God, But observe His commandments;
78:8 不至像他们的祖宗，是顽梗悖逆、居心不正之辈，他们的灵向着神不忠信。
That they might not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set their heart right, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
78:9 以法莲的子孙，带着兵器，拿着弓箭，临阵之日却转身退后。
The children of Ephraim, armed archers with bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
78:10 他们不遵守神的约，不肯遵行祂的律法；
They did not keep the covenant of God, And they refused to walk in His law.
78:11 又忘记祂所行的，和祂向他们所显奇妙的作为。
And they forgot His doings And His wondrous deeds that He had shown them.
78:12 祂在埃及地，在琐安田，在他们祖宗的眼前，施行奇事。
He did something wonderful in the sight of their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13 祂将海分开，使他们过去，又叫水立起如垒。
He divided the sea and caused them to pass through, And He made the water stand as a heap.
78:14 祂白日用云彩，终夜用火光，引导他们。
And He led them with the cloud by day And all the night with a light of fire.
78:15 祂在旷野裂开磐石，多多的给他们水喝，如从深渊而出。
He split rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant drink, as from the depths.
78:16 祂使水从磐石涌出，叫水如江河流下。
He also brought forth streams from the rock And made water run down like rivers.
78:17 他们却仍旧得罪祂，在干旱之地悖逆至高者。
Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
78:18 他们心中试探神，随自己所欲的求食物；
And they put God to the test in their heart, By asking for food according to their desire.
78:19 并且出言顶撞神，说，神岂能在旷野摆设筵席么？
They also spoke against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
78:20 看哪，祂曾击打磐石，使水涌出，如同江河泛滥；祂还能赐粮食么？还能为祂的百姓预备肉么？
Behold, He struck the rock, And water gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can He also give us bread, Or provide meat for His people?
