旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第 16 章 ( 本篇共有 42 章 )
16:1 约伯回答说，
Then Job answered and said,
16:2 这样的话我听了许多。你们安慰人，反叫人愁烦。
I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
16:3 虚空的言语有穷尽吗。有什么话惹动你回答呢。
Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
16:4 我也能说你们那样的话。你们若处在我的境遇，我也会联络言语攻击你们，又能向你们摇头。
I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
16:5 但我必用口坚固你们，用嘴消解你们的忧愁。
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
16:6 我虽说话，忧愁仍不得消解。我虽停住不说，忧愁就离开我吗。
Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
16:7 但现在神使我困倦，使亲友远离我。
But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
16:8 又抓住我，作见证攻击我。我身体的枯瘦，也当面见证我的不是。
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
16:9 主发怒撕裂我，逼迫我，向我切齿。我的敌人怒目看我。
He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
16:10 他们向我开口，打我的脸羞辱我，聚会攻击我。
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
16:11 神把我交给不敬虔的人，把我扔到恶人的手中。
God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
16:12 我素来安逸，他折断我，掐住我的颈项，把我摔碎。又立我为他的箭靶子。
I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
16:13 他的弓箭手四面围绕我。他破裂我的肺腑，并不留情，把我的胆倾倒在地上，
His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
16:14 将我破裂又破裂，如同勇士向我直闯。
He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
16:15 我缝麻布在我皮肤上，把我的角放在尘土中。
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
16:16 我的脸因哭泣发紫，在我的眼皮上有死荫。
My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
16:17 我的手中却无强暴。我的祈祷也是清洁。
Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
16:18 地阿，不要遮盖我的血。不要阻挡我的哀求。
O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
16:19 现今，在天有我的见证，在上有我的中保。
Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
16:20 我的朋友讥诮我，我却向神眼泪汪汪。
My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
16:21 愿人得与神辩白，如同人与朋友辩白一样。
O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
16:22 因为再过几年，我必走那往而不返之路。
When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第 17 章 ( 本篇共有 42 章 )
17:1 我的心灵消耗，我的日子灭尽。坟墓为我预备好了。
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
17:2 真有戏笑我的在我这里，我眼常见他们惹动我。
Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
17:3 愿主拿凭据给我，自己为我作保。在你以外谁肯与我击掌呢。
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
17:4 因你使他们心不明理，所以你必不高举他们。
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
17:5 控告他的朋友，以朋友为可抢夺的，连他儿女的眼睛也要失明。
He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
17:6 神使我作了民中的笑谈。他们也吐唾沫在我脸上。
He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
17:7 我的眼睛因忧愁昏花。我的百体好像影儿。
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
17:8 正直人因此必惊奇。无辜的人，要兴起攻击不敬虔之辈。
Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
17:9 然而，义人要持守所行的道。手洁的人要力上加力。
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
17:10 至于你们众人，可以再来辩论吧。你们中间，我找不着一个智慧人。
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
17:11 我的日子已经过了。我的谋算，我心所想望的已经断绝。
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
17:12 他们以黑夜为白昼，说，亮光近乎黑暗。
They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
17:13 我若盼望阴间为我的房屋，若下榻在黑暗中，
If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
17:14 若对朽坏说，你是我的父。对虫说，你是我的母亲姊妹。
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
17:15 这样，我的指望在那里呢。我所指望的谁能看见呢。
And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
17:16 等到安息在尘土中，这指望必下到阴间的门闩那里了。
They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第 18 章 ( 本篇共有 42 章 )
18:1 书亚人比勒达回答说，
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
18:2 你寻索言语要到几时呢。你可以揣摩思想，然后我们就说话。
How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
18:3 我们为何算为畜生，在你眼中看作污秽呢。
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
18:4 你这恼怒将自己撕裂的，难道大地为你见弃，磐石挪开原处吗。
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
18:5 恶人的亮光必要熄灭。他的火焰必不照耀。
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
18:6 他帐棚中的亮光要变为黑暗。他以上的灯也必熄灭。
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
18:7 他坚强的脚步必见狭窄。自己的计谋必将他绊倒。
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
18:8 因为他被自己的脚陷入网中，走在缠人的网罗上。
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
18:9 圈套必抓住他的脚跟。机关必擒获他。
The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
18:10 活扣为他藏在土内。羁绊为他藏在路上。
The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
18:11 四面的惊吓要使他害怕，并且追赶他的脚跟。
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
18:12 他的力量必因饥饿衰败，祸患要在他旁边等候。
His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
18:13 他本身的肢体要被吞吃，死亡的长子要吞吃他的肢体。
It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
18:14 他要从所倚靠的帐棚被拔出来，带到惊吓的王那里。
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
18:15 不属他的必住在他的帐棚里。硫磺必撒在他所住之处。
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
18:16 下边，他的根本要枯乾。上边，他的枝子要剪除。
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
18:17 他的记念在地上必然灭亡。他的名字在街上也不存留。
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18:18 他必从光明中被撵到黑暗里，必被赶出世界。
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
18:19 在本民中必无子无孙。在寄居之地也无一人存留。
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
18:20 以后来的要惊奇他的日子，好像以前去的受了惊骇。
They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
18:21 不义之人的住处总是这样。此乃不认识神之人的地步。
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第 19 章 ( 本篇共有 42 章 )
19:1 约伯回答说，
Then Job answered and said,
19:2 你们搅扰我的心，用言语压碎我，要到几时呢。ⅶ
How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
19:3 你们这十次羞辱我。你们苦待我也不以为耻。
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
19:4 果真我有错，这错乃是在我。
And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
19:5 你们果然要向我夸大，以我的羞辱为证指责我。
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
19:6 就该知道是神倾覆我，用网罗围绕我。
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
19:7 我因委曲呼叫，却不蒙应允。我呼求，却不得公断。
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
19:8 神用篱笆拦住我的道路，使我不得经过。又使我的路径黑暗。
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
19:9 他剥去我的荣光，摘去我头上的冠冕。
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
19:10 他在四围攻击我，我便归于死亡，将我的指望如树拔出来。
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
19:11 他的忿怒向我发作，以我为敌人。
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
19:12 他的军旅一齐上来，修筑战路攻击我。在我帐棚的四围安营。
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
19:13 他把我的弟兄隔在远处，使我所认识的，全然与我生疏。
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
19:14 我的亲戚与我断绝。我的密友都忘记我。
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
19:15 在我家寄居的，和我的使女都以我为外人。我在他们眼中看为外邦人。
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
19:16 我呼唤仆人，虽用口求他，他还是不回答。
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
19:17 我口的气味，我妻子厌恶。我的恳求，我同胞也憎嫌。
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
19:18 连小孩子也藐视我。我若起来，他们都嘲笑我。
Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19:19 我的密友都憎恶我。我平日所爱的人向我翻脸。
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19:20 我的皮肉紧贴骨头。我只剩牙皮逃脱了。
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
19:21 我朋友阿，可怜我。可怜我。因为神的手攻击我。
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
19:22 你们为什么彷佛神逼迫我，吃我的肉还以为不足呢。
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
19:23 惟愿我的言语现在写上，都记录在书上。
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
19:24 用铁笔镌刻，用铅灌在磐石上，直存到永远。
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
19:25 我知道我的救赎主活着，末了必站立在地上。
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
19:26 我这皮肉灭绝之后，我必在肉体之外得见神。
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
19:27 我自己要见他，亲眼要看他，并不像外人。我的心肠在我里面消灭了。
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
19:28 你们若说，我们逼迫他要何等地重呢。惹事的根乃在乎他。
But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
19:29 你们就当惧怕刀剑。因为忿怒惹动刀剑的刑罚，使你们知道有报应（原文作审判）。
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第 20 章 ( 本篇共有 42 章 )
20:1 拿玛人琐法回答说，
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
20:2 我心中急躁，所以我的思念叫我回答。
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
20:3 我已听见那羞辱我，责备我的话。我的悟性叫我回答。
I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
20:4 你岂不知亘古以来，自从人生在地。
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
20:5 恶人胜利是暂时的，不敬虔人的喜乐，不过转眼之间吗。
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
20:6 他的尊荣虽达到天上，头虽顶到云中，
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
20:7 他终必灭亡，像自己的粪一样。素来见他的人要说，他在那里呢。
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
20:8 他必飞去如梦，不再寻见，速被赶去，如夜间的异象。
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
20:9 亲眼见过他的，必不再见他。他的本处也再见不着他。
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
20:10 他的儿女要求穷人的恩。他的手要赔还不义之财。
His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
20:11 他的骨头虽然有青年之力，却要和他一同躺卧在尘土中。
His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
20:12 他口内虽以恶为甘甜，藏在舌头底下。
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
20:13 爱恋不舍，含在口中。
Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
20:14 他的食物在肚里却要化为酸，在他里面成为虺蛇的恶毒。
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
20:15 他吞了财宝，还要吐出。神要从他腹中掏出来。
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
20:16 他必吸饮虺蛇的毒气。蝮蛇的舌头也必杀他。
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
20:17 流奶与蜜之河，他不得再见。
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
20:18 他劳碌得来的要赔还，不得享用（原文作吞下），不能照所得的财货欢乐。
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
20:19 他欺压穷人，且又离弃。强取非自己所盖的房屋（或作强取房屋不得再建造）。
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
20:20 他因贪而无厌，所喜悦的连一样也不能保守。
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
20:21 其馀的没有一样他不吞灭，所以他的福乐不能长久。
There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
20:22 他在满足有馀的时候，必到狭窄的地步。凡受苦楚的人，都必加手在他身上。
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
20:23 他正要充满肚腹的时候，神必将猛烈的忿怒，降在他身上。正在他吃饭的时候，要将这忿怒像雨降在他身上。
When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
20:24 他要躲避铁器。铜弓的箭要将他射透。
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
20:25 他把箭一抽，就从他身上出来。发光的箭头从他胆中出来，有惊惶临在他身上。
It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
20:26 他的财宝归于黑暗。人所不吹的火要把他烧灭，要把他帐棚中所剩下的烧毁。
All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
20:27 天要显明他的邪恶，地要兴起攻击他。
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
20:28 他的家产必然过去。神发怒的日子，他的货物都要消灭。
The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
20:29 这是恶人从神所得的分，是神为他所定的产业。
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
