約伯記 9
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1約伯 回答說：
1And Job answered, and said:
2我真知道是這樣； 但人在上帝面前怎能成為義呢？
2Indeed I know it is so, and that man cannot be justified compared with God.
3若願意與他爭辯， 千中之一也不能回答。
3If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one for a thousand.
4他心裏有智慧，且大有能力。 誰向上帝剛硬而得亨通呢？
4He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath resisted him, and hath had peace?
5他發怒，把山翻倒挪移， 山並不知覺。
5Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not.
6他使地震動，離其本位， 地的柱子就搖撼。
6Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7他吩咐日頭不出來，就不出來， 又封閉眾星。
7Who commandeth tile sun and it riseth not: and shutteth up the stars as it were under a seal:
8他獨自鋪張蒼天， 步行在海浪之上。
8Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and walketh upon the waves of the sea.
9他造北斗、參星、昴星， 並南方的密宮；
9Who maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades, and the inner parts of the south.
10他行大事，不可測度， 行奇事，不可勝數。
10Who doth things great and incomprehensible, and wonderful, of which there is no number.
11他從我旁邊經過，我卻不看見； 他在我面前行走，我倒不知覺。
11If he come to me, I shall not see him: if he depart I shall not understand.
12他奪取，誰能阻擋？ 誰敢問他：你做甚麼？
12If he examine on a sudden, who shall answer him? or who can say: Why dost thou so?
13上帝必不收回他的怒氣； 扶助 拉哈伯 的，屈身在他以下。
13God, whose wrath no mall can resist, and under whom they stoop that bear up the world.
14既是這樣，我怎敢回答他， 怎敢選擇言語與他 辯論呢 ？
14What am I then, that I should answer him, and have words with him?
15我雖有義，也不回答他， 只要向那審判我的懇求。
15I, who although I should have any just thing, would not answer, but would make supplication to my judge.
16我若呼籲，他應允我； 我仍不信他真聽我的聲音。
16And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he had heard my voice.
17他用暴風折斷我， 無故地加增我的損傷。
17For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even without cause.
18我就是喘一口氣，他都不容， 倒使我滿心苦惱。
18He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with bitterness.
19若論 力量， 他真有 能力！ 若論審判， 他說 誰能將我傳來呢？
19If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me.
20我雖有義，自己的口要定我為有罪； 我雖完全，我口必顯我為彎曲。
20If I would justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I would shew myself innocent, he shall prove me wicked.
21我本完全，不顧自己； 我厭惡我的性命。
21Although I should be simple, even this my soul shall be ignorant of, and I shall be weary of my life.
22善惡無分 ，都是一樣； 所以我說，完全人和惡人，他都滅絕。
22One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth.
23若忽然遭殺害之禍， 他必戲笑無辜的人遇難。
23If he scourge, let him kill at once, and not laugh at the pains of the innocent.
24世界交在惡人手中； 蒙蔽世界審判官的臉， 若不是他，是誰呢？
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, he covereth the face of the judges thereof: and if it be not he, who is it then?
25我的日子比跑信的更快， 急速過去，不見福樂。
25My days have been swifter than a post: they have fled away and have not seen good.
26我的日子過去如快船， 如急落抓食的鷹。
26They have passed by as ships carrying fruits, as an eagle flying to the prey.
27我若說：我要忘記我的哀情， 除去我的 愁容 ，心中暢快；
27If I say: I will not speak so: I change my face, and am tormented with sorrow.
28我因愁苦而懼怕， 知道你必不以我為無辜。
28I feared all my works, knowing that thou didst not spare the offender.
29我必被你定為有罪， 我何必徒然勞苦呢？
29But if so also I am wicked, why have I laboured in vain?
30我若用雪水洗身， 用鹼潔淨我的手，
30If I be washed as it were with snow waters, and my hands shall shine ever so clean:
31你還要扔我在坑裏， 我的衣服都憎惡我。
31Yet thou shalt plunge me in filth, and my garments shall abhor me,
32他本不像我是人，使我可以回答他， 又使我們可以同聽審判。
32For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment.
33我們中間沒有聽訟的人 可以向我們兩造按手。
33There is none that may be able to reprove both, and to put his hand between both.
34願他把杖離開我， 不使驚惶威嚇我。
34Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me.
35我就說話，也不懼怕他， 現在我卻不是那樣。
35I will speak, and will not fear him: for I cannot answer while I am in fear.
