約伯記 23
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1約伯 回答說：
1Then Job answered:
2如今我的哀告還算為悖逆； 我的責罰比我的唉哼還重。
2“Even today my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
3惟願我能知道在哪裏可以尋見上帝， 能到他的臺前，
3If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat.
4我就在他面前將我的案件陳明， 滿口辯白。
4I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
5我必知道他回答我的言語， 明白他向我所說的話。
5I would learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.
6他豈用大能與我爭辯嗎？ 必不這樣！他必理會我。
6Would He contend with me in His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.
7在他那裏正直人可以與他辯論； 這樣，我必永遠脫離那審判我的。
7Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8只是，我往前行，他不 在那裏 ， 往後退，也不能見他。
8If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot find Him.
9他在左邊行事，我卻不能看見， 在右邊隱藏，我也不能見他。
9When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.
10然而他知道我所行的路； 他試煉我之後，我必如精金。
10Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
11我腳追隨他的步履； 我謹守他的道，並不偏離。
11My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning aside.
12他嘴唇的命令，我未曾背棄； 我看重他口中的言語，過於我需用的飲食。
12I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.
13只是他 心志 已定，誰能使他轉意呢？ 他心裏所願的，就行出來。
13But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.
14他向我所定的，就必做成； 這類的事他還有許多。
14For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.
15所以我在他面前驚惶； 我思念 這事 便懼怕他。
15Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.
16上帝使我喪膽； 全能者使我驚惶。
16God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
17我的恐懼不是因為黑暗， 也不是因為幽暗蒙蔽我的臉。
17Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
