Job 17

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)

1My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.

1我的心靈消耗，我的日子滅盡；墳墓為我預備好了。

2I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.

2真有戲笑我的在我這裏，我眼常見他們惹動我。

3Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.

3願主拿憑據給我，自己為我作保。在你以外誰肯與我擊掌呢？

4Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.

4因你使他們心不明理，所以你必不高舉他們。

5He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.

5控告他的朋友、以朋友為可搶奪的，連他兒女的眼睛也要失明。

6He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.

6上帝使我作了民中的笑談；他們也吐唾沫在我臉上。

7My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.

7我的眼睛因憂愁昏花；我的百體好像影兒。

8The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.

8正直人因此必驚奇；無辜的人要興起攻擊不敬虔之輩。

9And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

9然而，義人要持守所行的道；手潔的人要力上加力。

10Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.

10至於你們眾人，可以再來辯論吧！你們中間，我找不着一個智慧人。

11My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.

11我的日子已經過了；我的謀算、我心所想望的已經斷絕。

12They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.

12他們以黑夜為白晝，說：亮光近乎黑暗。

13If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness.

13我若盼望陰間為我的房屋，若下榻在黑暗中，

14If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.

14若對朽壞說：你是我的父；對蟲說：你是我的母親姊妹；

15Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?

15這樣，我的指望在哪裏呢？我所指望的誰能看見呢？

16All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?

16等到安息在塵土中，這指望必下到陰間的門閂那裏了。
