Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then Job answered, and said:
1約伯 回答說：
2Hear, I beseech you, my words, and do penance.
2你們要細聽我的言語， 就算是你們安慰我。
3Suffer me, and I will speak, and after, if you please, laugh at my words.
3請寬容我，我又要說話； 說了以後，任憑你們嗤笑吧！
4Is my debate against man, that I should not have just reason to be troubled?
4我豈是向人訴冤？ 為何不焦急呢？
5Hearken to me and be astonished, and lay your finger on your mouth.
5你們要看着我而驚奇， 用手摀口。
6As for me, when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
6我每逢思想，心就驚惶， 渾身戰兢。
7Why then do the wicked live, are they advanced, and strengthened with riches?
7惡人為何存活， 享大壽數，勢力強盛呢？
8Their seed continueth before them, a multitude of kinsmen, and of children’s children in their sight.
8他們眼見兒孫， 和他們一同堅立。
9Their houses are secure and peaceable, and the rod of God is not upon them.
9他們的家宅平安無懼； 上帝的杖也不加在他們身上。
10Their cattle have conceived, and failed not: their cow has calved, and is not deprived of her fruit.
10他們的公牛孳生而不斷絕； 母牛下犢而不掉胎。
11Their little ones go out like a flock, and their children dance and play.
11他們打發小孩子出去， 多 如羊群； 他們的兒女踴躍跳舞。
12They take the timbrel, and the harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
12他們隨着琴鼓歌唱， 又因簫聲歡喜。
13They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment they go down to hell.
13他們度日諸事亨通， 轉眼下入陰間。
14Who have said to God: Depart from us, we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
14他們對上帝說：離開我們吧！ 我們不願曉得你的道。
15Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what doth it profit us if we pray to him?
15全能者是誰，我們何必事奉他呢？ 求告他有甚麼益處呢？
16Yet because their good things are not in their hand, may the counsel of the wicked be far from me.
16看哪，他們亨通不在乎自己； 惡人所謀定的離我好遠。
17How often shall the lamp of the wicked be put out, and a deluge come upon them, and he shall distribute the sorrows of his wrath?
17惡人的燈何嘗熄滅？ 患難何嘗臨到他們呢？ 上帝何嘗發怒， 向他們 分散災禍呢？
18They shall be as chaff before the face of the wind, and as ashes which the whirlwind scattereth.
18他們何嘗像風前的碎稭， 如暴風颳去的糠詷呢？
19God shall lay up the sorrow of the father for his children: and when he shall repay, then shall he know.
19你們說 ：上帝為惡人的兒女積蓄罪孽； 我說 ：不如本人受報，好使他親自知道。
20His eyes shall see his own destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
20願他親眼看見自己敗亡， 親自飲全能者的忿怒。
21For what is it to him what befalleth his house after him: and if the number of his months be diminished by one half?
21他的歲月既盡， 他還顧他本家嗎？
22Shall any one teach God knowledge, who judgeth those that are high?
22上帝既審判那在高位的， 誰能將知識教訓他呢？
23One man dieth strong, and hale, rich and happy.
23有人至死身體強壯， 盡得平靖安逸；
24His bowels are full of fat, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
24他的奶桶充滿， 他的骨髓滋潤。
25But another dieth in bitterness of soul without any riches:
25有人至死心中痛苦， 終身未嘗福樂的滋味；
26And yet they shall sleep together in the dust, and worms shall cover them.
26他們一樣躺臥在塵土中， 都被蟲子遮蓋。
27Surely I know your thoughts, and your unjust judgments against me.
27我知道你們的意思， 並誣害我的計謀。
28For you say: Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
28你們說：霸者的房屋在哪裏？ 惡人住過的帳棚在哪裏？
29Ask any one of them that go by the way, and you shall perceive that he knoweth these same things.
29你們豈沒有詢問過路的人嗎？ 不知道他們所引的證據嗎？
30Because the wicked man is reserved to the day of destruction, and he shall be brought to the day of wrath.
30就是惡人在禍患的日子得存留， 在發怒的日子得逃脫。
31Who shall reprove his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
31他所行的，有誰當面給他說明？ 他所做的，有誰報應他呢？
32He shall be brought to the graves, and shall watch in the heap of the dead.
32然而他要被抬到塋地； 並有人看守墳墓。
33He hath been acceptable to the gravel of Cocytus, and he shall draw every man after him, and there are innumerable before him.
33他要以谷中的土塊為甘甜； 在他以先去的無數， 在他以後去的更多。
34How then do ye comfort me in vain, whereas your answer is shewn to be repugnant to truth?
34你們對答的話中既都錯謬， 怎麼徒然安慰我呢？
