5:1 那时，义人有恃无恐，站在那些曾经压迫他，轻视他受苦的人面前；
Then shall the just one with great assurance confront his oppressors who set at nought his labors. 5:2 他们一见，不胜惊恐，惊奇他也意外获得了救恩。
Seeing this, they shall be shaken with dreadful fear, and amazed at the unlooked-for salvation. 5:3 他们必将懊悔心伤地彼此叹息竟说：「这就是我们曾一度讥笑侮辱过的那人!
They shall say among themselves, rueful and groaning through anguish of spirit: "This is he whom once we held as a laughingstock and as a type for mockery, 5:4 我们真胡涂，曾将他的生活视为愚狂，曾将他的死亡视为耻辱。
fools that we were! His life we accounted madness, and his death dishonored. 5:5 他怎么也被列在天主的儿子中﹖怎么在圣人中也有他的分子﹖
See how he is accounted among the sons of God; how his lot is with the saints! 5:6 显然是我们偏离了真理的道路，正义的光没有烛照过我们，智慧的太阳也没有为我们升起。
We, then, have strayed from the way of truth, and the light of justice did not shine for us, and the sun did not rise for us. 5:7 我们走遍了邪恶与灭亡的行径，穿过了无路的旷野，唯有上主的道路，我们却没有认识。
We had our fill of the ways of mischief and of ruin; we journeyed through impassable deserts, but the way of the LORD we knew not. 5:8 傲慢为我们有什么用处﹖财富与虚荣为我们又有什么利益﹖
What did our pride avail us? What have wealth and its boastfulness afforded us? 5:9 这一切都过去了，像阴影，像疾逝的流言；
All of them passed like a shadow and like a fleeting rumor; 5:10 像在波涛起伏的水面上航行的船只，驶过之后，无迹可寻，波涛里也没有留下船行的踪迹；
Like a ship traversing the heaving water, of which, when it has passed, no trace can be found, no path of its keel in the waves. 5:11 或如空中飞过的鸟，一去无踪；它鼓翼而飞，用力冲击，一路穿破轻微的空气，振翼飞过之后，也不见飞过的痕迹；
Or like a bird flying through the air; no evidence of its course is to be found- But the fluid air, lashed by the beat of pinions, and cleft by the rushing force Of speeding wings, is traversed: and afterward no mark of passage can be found in it. 5:12 或如射向靶子的箭，穿破的空气立即复原，认不出它经过的路径，
Or as, when an arrow has been shot at a mark, the parted air straightway flows together again so that none discerns the way it went through- 5:13 我们也是这样，刚一出生，即不存在，没有表现一点功德的痕迹，只在邪恶中消耗了我们的一生。
Even so we, once born, abruptly came to nought and held no sign of virtue to display, but were consumed in our wickedness." 5:14 【罪人在地狱中说了这些话。】
NO CONTENT 5:15 的确，恶人的希望，像被风吹去的糠秕，像被暴风刮去的薄霜，像被风飘散的云烟，像投宿一日即行消逝的旅客记念。
Yes, the hope of the wicked is like thistledown borne on the wind, and like fine, tempest-driven foam; Like smoke scattered by the wind, and like the passing memory of the nomad camping for a single day. 5:16 至于义人却永远生存；在上主那里，有他们的酬报；在至高者那里，有他们的照顾。
But the just live forever, and in the LORD is their recompense, and the thought of them is with the Most High. 5:17 因此，他们要从上主手中，得到荣耀的王位，华丽的冠冕，因为上主要用右手庇护他们，以自己的手臂保卫他们。
Therefore shall they receive the splendid crown, the beauteous diadem, from the hand of the LORD- For he shall shelter them with his right hand, and protect them with his arm. 5:18 上主必以嫉愤作武器，武装受造之物来报复仇敌；
He shall take his zeal for armor and he shall arm creation to requite the enemy; 5:19 必披上正义，当作胸甲：戴上正直的判断，当作钢盔，
He shall don justice for a breastplate and shall wear sure judgment for a helmet; 5:20 拿上无敌的圣洁，当作盾牌，
He shall take invincible rectitude as a shield 5:21 磨尖盛怒有如利刃；整个世界都要跟随他来攻击愚顽的人。
and whet his sudden anger for a sword, And the universe shall war with him against the foolhardy. 5:22 闪电的火箭，必由张开的云弓射出，奔向靶子；
Well-aimed shafts of lightnings shall go forth and from the clouds as from a well-drawn bow shall leap to the mark; 5:23 由云架中，将射出含怒的冰雹；海水必怒号冲击他们，江河必泛滥淹灭他们；
and as from his sling, wrathful hailstones shall be hurled. The water of the sea shall be enraged against them and the streams shall abruptly overflow; 5:24 全能者向他们一吹气，他们即如为旋风所吹散。不法的事要使全球变成荒域，邪恶要倾覆有权势的座位。
A mighty wind shall confront them and a tempest winnow them out; Thus lawlessness shall lay the whole earth waste and evildoing overturn the thrones of potentates.
