雅歌爱意深埋，先知预言主来。
以赛平安预告，耶利哀哭灾害，
哀歌悲悯国哀，以西异象常在。
但以忠心守道，十二小先多才，
何西怜悯爱怀，约珥末日来快。

    下面的‘西江月’用简洁明快的语言，按照《新约》各卷的顺序，将每一卷书的名称和主要内容结合起来，展现了新约书信和启示录的核心信息。每一联都对应几卷书的主题，力图在保持词牌格式的同时，概括出新约各卷的精髓。希望弟兄姐妹们能感受到《新约》中的福音信息和信仰力量：

再附两个格式的叙述形式：

Xi Jiang Yue: Old & New Testament Book Names

Below is an attempt to express the names and main content of the books of the Old Testament in a concise and rhythmically elegant “Xi Jiang Yue” style. Arranged in the order of the Old Testament, each book’s name and its main theme are linked together. Every couplet corresponds to the themes of several books, striving to convey the rich content and historical context of the Old Testament within the framework of this fixed poetic form, feel the charm of ChatGPT too. May our brothers and sisters, through this ci(Chinese poetry), experience God’s work and revelation in the Old Testament:

Xi Jiang Yue · Old Testament Books

“Creation: God’s handiwork begins; Exodus: the people wander a desolate land; Leviticus: fragrant sacrifices offered; Numbers: the wilderness journey unbound. Deuteronomy: law reaffirmed anew; Joshua: conquest duly rewarded; Judges: chaotic ages of strife; Ruth: redeemed by grace abounded.

Samuel and the prophets lead; Kings: north and south rise and fall; Chronicles record the mighty reign of emperors; Ezra returns the exiled; Nehemiah rebuilds perfect walls; Esther’s courage saves a people; Job’s trials test the soul; Psalms in praise reveal God’s heart.

Proverbs shines with wisdom’s jewel; Ecclesiastes laments life’s vain despair; Song of Songs conceals love’s deep secret; prophets foretell the coming Lord; Isaiah proclaims peace’s promise; Lamentations weep for ruined days; The Book of Lament and other oracles in exile persist.”

～～～*～～～

Below is the “Xi Jiang Yue” version using clear and brisk language for the New Testament books. Arranged in the order of the New Testament, this composition links each book’s name and its main content, presenting the core message of the epistles and Revelation. Each couplet corresponds to the themes of several books, aiming to encapsulate the essence of the New Testament while preserving the ci form. May our brothers and sisters sense the power of the gospel message and the strength of faith in the New Testament:

Xi Jiang Yue · New Testament Books

“Matthew: Christ is born; Mark: divine signs shine with glory; Luke: the healer’s wondrous touch; John: truth beams in light. Acts: the gospel widely proclaimed; Romans: a letter of divine truth; Corinthians: love is the message; proclaiming hope, faith, and affection.

Galatians: Paul’s exhortation rings; Ephesians: grace and love taught; Philippians: joy shared in the Lord; Colossians: the Lord brings peace. Thessalonians: shepherds with tender care; Timothy’s letters instruct and build; Titus: serving with loyal heart; Philemon: love for the Lord expressed.

The Hebrews speak of enduring faith; James insists that deeds reveal truth; Peter’s letters secure a steadfast foundation; John’s writings convey pure instruction. Jude rejects heresy; Revelation warns of the end-time— New Testament grace is wondrous, and God’s love walks with us forever.”

Below are two additional poetic formats:

1. Shui Diao Ge Tou Version for the Old Testament Books

Shui Diao Ge Tou · Old Testament Books

“Record of creation, primordial and vast; Exodus sends souls to alien lands. Leviticus’ sacrificial rites prescribed, Numbers: the people wander wide and far. Deuteronomy reveals divine grace anew; Joshua leads the military campaign; Judges in a disordered era rage, Ruth receives blessing’s gentle call; Samuel and the prophets herald authority, Kings rise and fall as in a fleeting dream; Chronicles praise steadfast loyalty; Ezra’s return brings homeward hope; Nehemiah’s walls rise in perfect might; Esther stands brave, a tale of power; Job endures suffering, his psalms a skyward light. Ecclesiastes’ wisdom, Song of Songs’ concealed delight, Isaiah’s prophetic voice still sounds; Jeremiah laments a nation’s plight; Lamentations echo sorrow; Ezekiel, with visions like a surging flood; Daniel in the lion’s den stands brave; Hosea’s love, Joel’s urgent calls, Amos warns, Obadiah brings doom; Jonah flees, Micah rebukes with righteousness; Nahum weeps, Habakkuk’s anger overflows; Zephaniah calls for repentance, Haggai rebuilds the temple, Zechariah foretells visions of the end; Malachi concludes the sacred scroll.”

Does the title “Shui Diao Ge Tou” evoke thoughts of the Great Flood and the Jordan River?

2. Man Jiang Hong Version for the New Testament Books

Below is an attempt to render the Chinese names of the New Testament books in the form of “Man Jiang Hong.” In each verse the core theme of each book is incorporated, expressing not only the richness of New Testament content but also retaining the rhythm and cadence of the “Man Jiang Hong” style. This form not only aids in memorizing the order of the New Testament books but also presents the sacred significance of each book in a poetic, lyrical format.

Man Jiang Hong · New Testament Books

Matthew—of the Messiah’s birth, Gospel proclaimed, wonders displayed, On the cross our sins redeemed. Mark—his swift deeds recorded, The Savior’s words and acts conveyed. Luke—with details ample, The healer’s tender, loving care; John—with profound mystery, The Word made flesh to save all men.

In Acts the apostles journey forth, The Spirit descends to spread the news; The church is born, while Paul’s long mission Carves out roads of gospel truth. Romans—righteousness by faith revealed, The law and grace in bold conflict; Corinthians—two epistles guide, Admonishing the church to reset. Galatians—debating law with gospel’s claim; Ephesians—speaking of the church’s unity. Philippians—joy within the Lord resounds; Colossians—Christ exalted above all be. The Thessalonians—two letters warn Of the end times soon to shine; Timothy—exhortations firm and true, The charge to preach remains defined. Titus and Philemon—of shepherds and their slaves, Words of loyalty and truth enshrined.

The Hebrews proclaim Christ’s supremacy, Redemption’s glorious work complete; James declares that faith and works must blend; Peter’s letters show the church in trial, faith steadfast. John’s three epistles march in love and truth; Jude warns believers against heresy’s strain.

Revelation—of final judgment and the day’s decree, The kingdom of heaven descends; A new heaven and earth arise, Glory to God for all His people now.

Does the title “Man Jiang Hong” not evoke the passionate zeal of Paul, Peter, John, and the other disciples as they boldly preached for the Lord?

After the translation of Chinese poetry into English, some of the poetic style and rhyme aspects were lost, so I kept screenshots of Chinese poems. This translation endeavors to capture the spirit and style of the original poetic composition while conveying the core themes of each New Testament book as presented in the “满江红” format.
