Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
1約伯 啊，請聽我的話， 留心聽我一切的言語。
2Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws.
2我現在開口， 用舌發言。
3My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence.
3我的言語 要發明 心中所存的正直； 我所知道的，我嘴唇要誠實地說出。
4The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
4上帝的靈造我； 全能者的氣使我得生。
5If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face.
5你若回答我， 就站起來，在我面前陳明。
6Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed.
6我在上帝面前與你一樣， 也是用土造成。
7But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee.
7我不用威嚴驚嚇你， 也不用勢力重壓你。
8Now thou has said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words:
8你所說的，我聽見了， 也聽見你的言語， 說 ：
9I am clean, and without sin: I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me.
9我是清潔無過的，我是無辜的； 在我裏面也沒有罪孽。
10Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy.
10上帝找機會攻擊我， 以我為仇敵，
11He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths.
11把我的腳上了木狗， 窺察我一切的道路。
12Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
12我要回答你說：你這話無理， 因上帝比世人更大。
13Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words?
13你為何與他爭論呢？ 因他的事都不對人解說？
14God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time.
14上帝說一次、兩次， 世人 卻不理會。
15By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds:
15人躺在床上沉睡的時候， 上帝就用夢和夜間的異象，
16Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn.
16開通他們的耳朵， 將當受的教訓印在他們心上，
17That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride.
17好叫人不從自己的謀算， 不行驕傲的事，
18Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword.
18攔阻人不陷於坑裏， 不死在刀下。
19He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither.
19人在床上被懲治， 骨頭中不住地疼痛，
20Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired.
20以致他的口厭棄食物， 心厭惡美味。
21His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare.
21他的肉消瘦，不得再見； 先前不見的骨頭都凸出來。
22His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers.
22他的靈魂臨近深坑； 他的生命近於滅命的。
23If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man’s uprightness,
23一千天使中， 若有一個作傳話的與上帝同在， 指示人所當行的事，
24He shall have mercy on him, and shall say: Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption: I have found wherein I may be merciful to him.
24上帝就給他開恩， 說：救贖他免得下坑； 我已經得了贖價。
25His flesh is consumed with punishment, let him return to the days of his youth.
25他的肉要比孩童的肉更嫩； 他就返老還童。
26He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him: and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice.
26他禱告上帝， 上帝就喜悅他， 使他歡呼朝見上帝的面； 上帝又看他為義。
27He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved.
27他在人前歌唱說： 我犯了罪，顛倒是非， 這竟與我無益。
28He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light.
28上帝救贖我的靈魂免入深坑； 我的生命也必見光。
29Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one.
29上帝兩次、三次向人行這一切的事，
30That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living.
30為要從深坑救回人的靈魂， 使他被光照耀，與活人一樣。
31Attend, Job, and hearken to me: and hold thy peace, whilst I speak.
31約伯 啊，你當側耳聽我的話， 不要作聲，等我講說。
32But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak: for I would have thee to appear just.
32你若有話說，就可以回答我； 你只管說，因我願以你為是。
33And if thou have not, hear me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
33若不然，你就聽我說； 你不要作聲，我便將智慧教訓你。
