俾得獻馨香之祭於天上天主、為王及王子之壽命祈禱、

我使爾被擄至巴比倫邑、當為斯邑祈求我、我原文作主賜之以平康、蓋斯邑平康、爾亦平康、

惟爾曹乃蒙選之族、有王位之祭司、成聖之國、屬主之民、主召爾出幽暗、入其妙光、欲爾宣揚其德、爾素非為民、今為天主之民、昔未蒙憐恤、今已蒙憐恤、○我所愛者、爾曹在世既為賓客羈旅、我勸爾去肉體之慾、即敵靈者也、爾於異邦人中、當舉動皆善、彼素謗爾為惡、既見爾之善行、則在眷顧之時、歸榮於天主、○爾當為主服人間一切掌權者、或在上之王、

且務安靜、各行己事、親手操作、如我儕所命爾者、

居上位秉權者、人人當服之、蓋無權非由天主、凡秉權者皆天主所命、故抗秉權者、乃逆天主命、逆者自取罪戾、有司非使行善者畏、乃使行惡者畏、爾欲不畏秉權者乎、惟行善、則可得其褒獎、秉權者、天主之僕也、原以益爾、爾若行惡、則誠可畏、蓋彼不徒操生殺之權、操生殺之權原文作文作操刀乃為天主之僕、嚴加刑於作惡之人、故當服之、非但畏刑之故、亦因良心使然也、爾曹納稅、亦為是故、蓋秉權者、乃天主之役、常理此事、故所當予人者、則予之、稅當納者則納之、餉當輸者則輸之、當畏者則畏之、當敬者則敬之、

求主側耳俯聽僕之祈禱、及欲敬畏主名者諸僕之祈禱、求主使僕今日亨通、蒙恩於王王原文作此人前、當是時、我為王之酒政、

我子、當畏主而尊王、勿與叛逆之人交、

我此邑在以色列諸邑中、和平忠厚、爾緣何欲翦滅以色列之大邑乎、緣何欲傾毀主之業乎、

爾受難時、願主應允爾之祈求、願雅各天主之名保護爾、從聖殿施救於爾、從郇山扶持爾、記念爾一切供獻、以爾之火焚祭視為豐美、細拉、隨爾心願賞賜爾、依爾所謀、為爾成全、

若可與眾和、則盡力與之和、

勿竊其物、惟當盡忠、以致凡事榮我救主天主之教、○蓋天主普救之恩、已顯著於眾、教我儕除諸不虔及世之情慾、得以自守公義虔敬、在此世度日、以待所望之福、與至大之天主、我救主耶穌基督之榮顯、彼為我儕舍己、以贖我儕出於諸惡、亦潔我儕為其選民、熱心為善、

時耶路撒冷有人名西緬、其人義且虔、素仰望慰藉以色列民者、聖神臨之、

求天主以主之判斷賜教於王、以主之公義、賜示於王之子、

曰、百夫長哥尼流、義人也、畏天主、為猶太眾民所譽、奉聖天使默示、請爾至其家、欲聽爾言、

天主以其榮與德召我、使我識之、因而施其神能、賜我屬永生屬虔敬之諸恩、又以己之榮與德、許我以至大至寶之恩、使我儕我儕原文作爾曹賴此得脫斯世由慾而生之敗壞、得與天主同性、故當殷勤、有信當有德、有德當有知識、有知識當有操守、有操守當有忍耐、有忍耐當有虔敬、有虔敬當有愛兄弟之心、有愛兄弟之心、當有愛眾之心、

二人在天主前、義者也、遵主一切誡命禮儀而行、無可指摘、

我言爾當守王命、既指天主而誓、自當如此、勿急躁退於王前、命雖難行、從之勿緩、蓋王所欲行者必行之、王之命有權、孰能詰之曰、爾所為何事、守命者不至受禍、智人之心、知有時勢、有法度、

因此我自勉勵、對天主、對世人、常存不虧之心、

當求與眾和睦、亦求聖潔、蓋非有聖潔、不得見主、

兄弟乎、我更有餘言、凡真實者、凡端莊者、凡公義者、凡清潔者、凡可愛者、凡可稱者、有何德、有何譽、俱當念之、

我知世人終身、惟有喜樂與行善為美、第人能食飲、能享勞碌所得者、亦為天主所賜、

以薩迦如骨健之驢、臥於羊牢間、或作臥於兩藩之間見其安靜可嘉、土壤腴美、以肩負荷、入貢為役、○
