Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:
1書亞 人 比勒達 回答說：
2How long wilt thou speak these things, and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
2這些話你要說到幾時？ 口中的言語 如 狂風 要到幾時呢 ？
3Doth God pervert judgment, or doth the Almighty overthrow that which is just?
3上帝豈能偏離公平？ 全能者豈能偏離公義？
4Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:
4或者你的兒女得罪了他； 他使他們受報應。
5Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:
5你若殷勤地尋求上帝， 向全能者懇求；
6If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:
6你若清潔正直， 他必定為你起來， 使你公義的居所興旺。
7Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.
7你起初雖然微小， 終久必甚發達。
8For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:
8請你考問前代， 追念他們的列祖所查究的。
9(For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:)
9我們不過從昨日才有，一無所知； 我們在世的日子好像影兒。
10And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts.
10他們豈不指教你，告訴你， 從心裏發出言語來呢？
11Can the rush be green without moisture? or a sedge-bush grow without water?
11蒲草沒有泥豈能發長？ 蘆荻沒有水豈能生發？
12When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.
12尚青的時候，還沒有割下， 比百樣的草先枯槁。
13Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish:
13凡忘記上帝的人，景況也是這樣； 不虔敬人的指望要滅沒。
14His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider’s web.
14他所仰賴的必折斷； 他所倚靠的是蜘蛛網。
15He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:
15他要倚靠房屋，房屋卻站立不住； 他要抓住房屋，房屋卻不能存留。
16He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth.
16他在日光之下發青， 蔓子爬滿了園子；
17His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones, and among the stones he shall abide.
17他的根盤繞 石 堆， 扎入石地。
18If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not.
18他若從本地被拔出， 那地就不認識他， 說 ： 我沒有見過你。
19For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth.
19看哪，這就是他道中之樂； 以後必另有人從地而生。
20God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evildoer:
20上帝必不丟棄完全人， 也不扶助邪惡人。
21Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with rejoicing.
21他還要以喜笑充滿你的口， 以歡呼充滿你的嘴。
22They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand.
22恨惡你的要披戴慚愧； 惡人的帳棚必歸於無有。
