人則曰、義人果得賞賚、誠有上帝行鞫於世兮、

人曰為善者降之祥、上帝帝天下兮。

彼時人必云、善人果有善報、在世間真有判斷之天主、

使善人覩之而欣欣兮。濯其足於群姦之血。

Then people will say,“ Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.”

Mankind will say,“ Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”

Then at last everyone will say,“ There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.”

Then people will say,“ Yes, there is a reward for the righteous! There is a God who judges on earth!”

And people will say,“ There certainly is a reward for the righteous; There certainly is a God who judges on the earth!”

So that men will say,“ Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely He is God who judges in the earth.”

So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Then people will say,“ Yes, there is a reward for the righteous! There is a God who judges on earth!”

May the nations be glad and sing for joy. You rule the people of the earth fairly. You guide the nations of the earth.

Tell those who do what is right that things will go well with them. They will enjoy the results of the good things they’ve done.

All people will respect God. They will tell about his works. They will think about what he has done.

What benefit did you gain from doing the things you are now ashamed of? Those things lead to death!You have been set free from sin. God has made you his slaves. The benefit you gain leads to holy living. And the end result is eternal life.

But you are stubborn. In your heart you are not sorry for your sins. You are storing up anger against yourself. The day of God’s anger is coming. Then his way of judging fairly will be shown.

But the Lord looks with favor on those who respect him. He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love.

It seems as if I have kept my heart pure for no reason. It didn’t do me any good to wash my hands to show that I wasn’t guilty of doing anything wrong.Day after day I’ve been in pain. God has punished me in a new way every morning.What if I had talked like that? Then I wouldn’t have been faithful to God’s children.

Judge of the earth, rise up. Pay back proud people for what they have done.

The Lord has been good to me because I do what is right. He has rewarded me because I lead a pure life.

Let all creation be full of joy in front of the Lord, because he is coming to judge the earth. He will faithfully judge the people of the world in keeping with what is right.

He rules the world in keeping with what is right. He judges all its people fairly.

“ You have said,‘ It is useless to serve God. What do we gain by obeying his laws? And what do we get by pretending to be sad in front of the Lord?

Let them sing to the Lord, because he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the nations of the world in keeping with what is right and fair.

You have worn out the Lord by what you keep saying.“ How have we worn him out?” you ask. You have done it by saying,“ All those who do evil things are good in the Lord’ s sight. And he is pleased with them.” Or you ask,“ Is God really fair?”

The Lord is known to be fair by the things he does. Evil people are trapped by what they have done.

They will say to everyone,“ The Lord is honest. He is my Rock, and there is no evil in him.”

They will say,“ Where is this‘ return’ he promised? Everything goes on in the same way it has since our people of long ago died. In fact, it has continued this way since God first created everything.”Long ago, God’s word brought the heavens into being. His word separated the earth from the waters. And the waters surrounded it. But these people forget things like that on purpose.The waters also flooded the world of that time. And so they destroyed the world.By God’s word the heavens and earth of today are being reserved for fire. They are being kept for the day when God will judge. Then ungodly people will be destroyed.Dear friends, here is one thing you must not forget. With the Lord a day is like a thousand years. And a thousand years are like a day.The Lord is not slow to keep his promise. He is not slow in the way some people understand it. Instead, he is patient with you. He doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed. Instead, he wants all people to turn away from their sins.But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything done in it.
