Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then Job answered, and said:
1約伯 回答說：
2Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.
2如今我的哀告還算為悖逆； 我的責罰比我的唉哼還重。
3Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?
3惟願我能知道在哪裏可以尋見上帝， 能到他的臺前，
4I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.
4我就在他面前將我的案件陳明， 滿口辯白。
5That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
5我必知道他回答我的言語， 明白他向我所說的話。
6I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.
6他豈用大能與我爭辯嗎？ 必不這樣！他必理會我。
7Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.
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。
8But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.
8只是，我往前行，他不 在那裏 ， 往後退，也不能見他。
9If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see 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。
10But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:
10然而他知道我所行的路； 他試煉我之後，我必如精金。
11My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.
11我腳追隨他的步履； 我謹守他的道，並不偏離。
12I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.
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。
13For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever is soul hath desired, that hath he done.
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。
14And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.
14他向我所定的，就必做成； 這類的事他還有許多。
15And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.
15所以我在他面前驚惶； 我思念 這事 便懼怕他。
16God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.
16上帝使我喪膽； 全能者使我驚惶。
17For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
17我的恐懼不是因為黑暗， 也不是因為幽暗蒙蔽我的臉。
