Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
1約伯 接着說：
2As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,
2上帝奪去我的理，全能者使我心中愁苦。 我指着永生的上帝起誓：
3As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,
3我的生命尚在我裏面； 上帝所賜呼吸之氣仍在我的鼻孔內。
4My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.
4我的嘴決不說非義之言； 我的舌也不說詭詐之語。
5God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.
5我斷不以你們為是； 我至死必不以自己為不正！
6My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.
6我持定我的義，必不放鬆； 在世的日子，我心必不責備我。
7Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.
7願我的仇敵如惡人一樣； 願那起來攻擊我的，如不義之人一般。
8For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?
8不敬虔的人雖然得利， 上帝奪取其命的時候還有甚麼指望呢？
9Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?
9患難臨到他， 上帝豈能聽他的呼求？
10Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
10他豈以全能者為樂， 隨時求告上帝呢？
11I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.
11上帝的作為，我要指教你們； 全能者所行的，我也不隱瞞。
12Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?
12你們自己也都見過， 為何全然變為虛妄呢？
13This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
13上帝為惡人所定的分， 強暴人從全能者所得的報乃是這樣：
14If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.
14倘或他的兒女增多，還是被刀所殺； 他的子孫必不得飽食。
15They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.
15他所遺留的人必死而埋葬； 他的寡婦也不哀哭。
16If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,
16他雖積蓄銀子如塵沙， 預備衣服如泥土；
17He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.
17他只管預備，義人卻要穿上； 他的銀子，無辜的人要分取。
18He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.
18他建造房屋如蟲做窩， 又如守望者所搭的棚。
19The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.
19他雖富足躺臥，卻不得收殮， 轉眼之間就不在了。
20Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night.
20驚恐如波濤將他追上； 暴風在夜間將他颳去。
21A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.
21東風把他飄去， 又颳他離開本處。
22And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee.
22上帝要向他射箭，並不留情； 他恨不得逃脫上帝的手。
23He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.
23人要向他拍掌， 並要發叱聲，使他離開本處。
