Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1I made a covenant with my eyes, that I would not so much as think upon a virgin.
1我與眼睛立約， 怎能戀戀瞻望處女呢？
2For what part should God from above have in me, and what inheritance the Almighty from on high?
2從至上的上帝所得之分， 從至高全能者所得之業是甚麼呢？
3Is not destruction to the wicked, and aversion to them that work iniquity?
3豈不是禍患臨到不義的， 災害臨到作孽的呢？
4Doth not he consider my ways, and number all my steps?
4上帝豈不是察看我的道路， 數點我的腳步呢？
5If I have walked in vanity, and my foot hath made haste to deceit:
5我若與虛謊同行， 腳若追隨詭詐； （
6Let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.
6我若被公道的天平稱度， 使上帝可以知道我的純正；）
7If my step hath turned out of the way, and if my heart hath followed my eyes, and if a spot hath cleaved to my hands:
7我的腳步若偏離正路， 我的心若隨着我的眼目， 若有玷污粘在我手上；
8Then let me sow and let another eat: and let my offspring be rooted out.
8就願我所種的有別人吃， 我田所產的被拔出來。
9If my heart hath been deceived upon a woman, and if I have laid wait at my friend’s door:
9我若受迷惑，向婦人 起淫念 ， 在鄰舍的門外蹲伏，
10Let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lie with her.
10就願我的妻子給別人推磨， 別人也與她同室。
11For this is a heinous crime, and a most grievous iniquity.
11因為這是大罪， 是審判官 當罰的 罪孽。
12It is a fire that devoureth even to destruction, and rooteth up all things that spring.
12這本是火焚燒，直到毀滅， 必拔除我所有的家產。
13If I have despised to abide judgment with my manservant, or my maidservant, when they had any controversy against me:
13我的僕婢與我爭辯的時候， 我若藐視不聽他們的情節；
14For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him?
14上帝興起，我怎樣行呢？ 他察問，我怎樣回答呢？
15Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb?
15造我在腹中的，不也是造他嗎？ 將他與我摶在腹中的豈不是一位嗎？
16If I have denied to the poor what they desired, and have made the eyes of the widow wait:
16我若不容貧寒人得其所願， 或叫寡婦眼中失望，
17If I have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof:
17或獨自吃我一點食物， 孤兒沒有與我同吃； （
18(For from my infancy mercy grew up with me: and it came out with me from my mother’s womb:)
18從幼年時孤兒與我同長，好像父子一樣； 我從出母腹就扶助 寡婦。）
19If I have despised him that was perishing for want of clothing, and the poor man that had no covering:
19我若見人因無衣死亡， 或見窮乏人身無遮蓋；
20If his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep:
20我若不使他因我羊的毛得暖， 為我祝福；
21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw myself superior in the gate:
21我若在城門口見有幫助我的， 舉手攻擊孤兒；
22Let my shoulder fall from its joint, and let my arm with its bones be broken.
22情願我的肩頭從缺盆骨脫落， 我的膀臂從羊矢骨折斷。
23For I have always feared God as waves swelling over me, and his weight I was not able to bear.
23因上帝降的災禍使我恐懼； 因他的威嚴，我不能妄為。
24If I have thought gold my strength, and have said to fine gold: My confidence:
24我若以黃金為指望， 對精金說： 你是 我的倚靠；
25If I have rejoiced over my great riches, and because my hand had gotten much.
25我若因財物豐裕， 因我手多得資財而歡喜；
26If I beheld the sun when it shined, and the moon going in brightness:
26我若見太陽發光， 明月行在空中，
27And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with my mouth:
27心就暗暗被引誘， 口便親手；
28Which is a very great iniquity, and a denial against the most high God.
28這也是審判官 當罰的 罪孽， 又是我背棄在上的上帝。
29If I have been glad at the downfall of him that hated me, and have rejoiced that evil had found him.
29我若見恨我的遭報就歡喜， 見他遭災便高興； （
30For I have not given my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul.
30我沒有容口犯罪， 咒詛他的生命；）
31If the men of my tabernacle have not said: Who will give us of his flesh that we may be filled?
31若我帳棚的人未嘗說， 誰不以主人的食物吃飽呢？ （
32The stranger did not stay without, my door was open to the traveller.
32從來我沒有容客旅在街上住宿， 卻開門迎接行路的人；）
33If as a man I have hid my sin, and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom.
33我若像 亞當 遮掩我的過犯， 將罪孽藏在懷中；
34If I have been afraid at a very great multitude, and the contempt of kinsmen hath terrified me: and I have not rather held my peace, and not gone out of the door.
34因懼怕大眾， 又因宗族藐視我使我驚恐， 以致閉口無言，杜門不出；
35Who would grant me a hearer, that the Almighty may hear my desire; and that he himself that judgeth would write a book,
35惟願有一位肯聽我！ （看哪，在這裏有我所劃的押， 願全能者回答我！）
36That I may carry it on my shoulder, and put it about me as a crown?
36願那敵我者所寫的狀詞 在我這裏 ！ 我必帶在肩上，又綁在頭上為冠冕。
37At every step of mine I would pronounce it, and offer it as to a prince.
37我必向他述說我腳步的數目， 必如君王進到他面前。
38If my land cry against me, and with it the furrows thereof mourn:
38我若 奪取 田地，這地向我喊冤， 犂溝一同哭泣；
39If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have afflicted the soul of the tillers thereof:
39我若吃地的出產不給價值， 或叫原主喪命；
40Let thistles grow up to me instead of wheat, and thorns instead of barley.
40願這地長蒺藜代替麥子， 長惡草代替大麥。 約伯 的話說完了。
