約伯記 29
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1約伯 又接着說：
1And Job continued his discourse:
2惟願我 的景況 如從前的月份， 如上帝保守我的日子。
2“How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,
3那時他的燈照在我頭上； 我藉他的光行過黑暗。
3when His lamp shone above my head, and by His light I walked through the darkness,
4我願如壯年的時候： 那時我在帳棚中， 上帝待我有密友之情；
4when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God rested on my tent,
5全能者仍與我同在； 我的兒女都環繞我。
5when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,
6奶多可洗我的腳； 磐石為我出油成河。
6when my steps were bathed in cream and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
7我出到城門， 在街上設立座位；
7When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the public square,
8少年人見我而迴避， 老年人也起身站立；
8the young men saw me and withdrew, and the old men rose to their feet.
9王子都停止說話， 用手摀口；
9The princes refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands.
10首領靜默無聲， 舌頭貼住上膛。
10The voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.
11耳朵聽我的，就稱我有福； 眼睛看我的，便稱讚我；
11For those who heard me called me blessed, and those who saw me commended me,
12因我拯救哀求的困苦人 和無人幫助的孤兒。
12because I rescued the poor who cried out and the fatherless who had no helper.
13將要滅亡的為我祝福； 我也使寡婦心中歡樂。
13The dying man blessed me, and I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
14我以公義為衣服， 以公平為外袍和冠冕。
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; justice was my robe and my turban.
15我為瞎子的眼， 瘸子的腳。
15I served as eyes to the blind and as feet to the lame.
16我為窮乏人的父； 素不認識的人，我查明他的案件。
16I was a father to the needy, and I took up the case of the stranger.
17我打破不義之人的牙床， 從他牙齒中奪了所搶的。
17I shattered the fangs of the unjust and snatched the prey from his teeth.
18我便說：我必死在家中， 必增添我的日子，多如塵沙。
18So I thought: ‘I will die in my nest and multiply my days as the sand.
19我的根長到水邊； 露水終夜霑在我的枝上。
19My roots will spread out to the waters, and the dew will rest nightly on my branches.
20我的榮耀在身上增新； 我的弓在手中日強。
20My glory is ever new within me, and my bow is renewed in my hand.’
21人聽見我而仰望， 靜默等候我的指教。
21Men listened to me with expectation, waiting silently for my counsel.
22我說話之後，他們就不再說； 我的言語 像雨露 滴在他們身上。
22After my words, they spoke no more; my speech settled on them like dew.
23他們仰望我如仰望雨， 又張開口如切慕春雨。
23They waited for me as for rain and drank in my words like spring showers.
24他們不敢自信，我就向他們含笑； 他們不使我臉上的光改變。
24If I smiled at them, they did not believe it; the light of my countenance was precious.
25我為他們選擇道路，又坐首位； 我如君王在軍隊中居住， 又如弔喪的安慰傷心的人。
25I chose their course and presided as chief. So I dwelt as a king among his troops, as a comforter of the mourners.
