約伯記 14
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1人為婦人所生， 日子短少，多有患難；
1Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries.
2出來如花，又被割下， 飛去如影，不能存留。
2Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state.
3這樣的人你豈睜眼看他嗎？ 又叫我來受審嗎？
3And dost thou think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an one, and to bring him into judgment with thee?
4誰能使潔淨之物出於污穢之中呢？ 無論誰也不能！
4Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed? is it not thou who only art?
5人的日子既然限定， 他的月數在你那裏， 你也派定他的界限，使他不能越過，
5The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed.
6便求你轉眼不看他，使他得歇息， 直等他像雇工人完畢他的日子。
6Depart a little from him, that he may rest, until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling.
7樹若被砍下， 還可指望發芽， 嫩枝生長不息；
7A tree hath hope: if it be cut, it groweth green again, and the boughs thereof sprout.
8其根雖然衰老在地裏， 幹也死在土中，
8If its root be old in the earth, and its stock be dead in the dust:
9及至得了水氣，還要發芽， 又長枝條，像新栽的樹一樣。
9At the scent of water, it shall spring, and bring forth leaves, as when it was first planted.
10但人死亡而消滅； 他氣絕，竟在何處呢？
10But man when he shall be dead, and stripped and consumed, I pray you where is he?
11海中的水絕盡， 江河消散乾涸。
11As if the waters should depart out of the sea, and an emptied river should be dried up:
12人也是如此，躺下不再起來， 等到天沒有了，仍不得復醒， 也不得從睡中喚醒。
12So man when he is fallen asleep shall not rise again; till the heavens be broken, he shall not awake, nor rise up out of his sleep.
13惟願你把我藏在陰間， 存於隱密處，等你的忿怒過去； 願你為我定了日期，記念我。
13Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell, and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a. time when thou wilt remember me?
14人若死了豈能 再 活呢？ 我只要在我一切爭戰的日子， 等我被釋放的時候來到。
14Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come.
15你呼叫，我便回答； 你手所做的，你必羨慕。
15Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand.
16但如今你數點我的腳步， 豈不窺察我的罪過嗎？
16Thou indeed hast numbered my steps, but spare my sins.
17我的過犯被你封在囊中， 也縫嚴了我的罪孽。
17Thou hast sealed up my offences as it were in a bag, but hast cured my iniquity.
18山崩變為無有； 磐石挪開原處。
18A mountain falling cometh to nought, and a rock is removed out of its place.
19水流消磨石頭， 所流溢的洗去地上的塵土； 你也照樣滅絕人的指望。
19Waters wear away the stones, and with inundation the ground by little and little is washed away: so in like manner thou shalt destroy man.
20你攻擊人常常得勝，使他去世； 你改變他的容貌，叫他往而不回。
20Thou hast strengthened him for a little while, that he may pass away for ever: thou shalt change his face, and shalt send him away.
21他兒子得尊榮，他也不知道， 降為卑，他也不覺得。
21Whether his children come to honour or dishonour, he shall not understand.
22但知身上疼痛， 心中悲哀。
22But yet his flesh, while he shall live, shall have pain, and his soul shall mourn over him.
