Job 19
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then Job answered and said:
1約伯 回答說：
2How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
2你們攪擾我的心， 用言語壓碎我要到幾時呢？
3These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed that ye deal harshly with me.
3你們這十次羞辱我； 你們苦待我也不以為恥。
4And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
4果真我有錯， 這錯乃是在我。
5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;
5你們果然要向我誇大， 以我的羞辱為證指責我，
6Know now that God hath subverted my cause, and hath compassed me with His net.
6就該知道是上帝傾覆我， 用網羅圍繞我。
7Behold, I cry out: 'Violence!' but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
7我因委曲呼叫，卻不蒙應允； 我呼求，卻不得公斷。
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.
8上帝用籬笆攔住我的道路，使我不得經過； 又使我的路徑黑暗。
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
9他剝去我的榮光， 摘去我頭上的冠冕。
10He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree.
10他在四圍攻擊我，我便歸於死亡， 將我的指望如樹拔出來。
11He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries.
11他的忿怒向我發作， 以我為敵人。
12His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent.
12他的軍旅一齊上來， 修築戰路攻擊我， 在我帳棚的四圍安營。
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.
13他把我的弟兄隔在遠處， 使我所認識的全然與我生疏。
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
14我的親戚與我斷絕； 我的密友都忘記我。
15They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight.
15在我家寄居的， 和我的使女都以我為外人； 我在他們眼中看為外邦人。
16I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, though I entreat him with my mouth.
16我呼喚僕人， 雖用口求他，他還是不回答。
17My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe.
17我口的氣味，我妻子厭惡； 我的懇求，我同胞也憎嫌。
18Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me.
18連小孩子也藐視我； 我若起來，他們都嘲笑我。
19All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19我的密友都憎惡我； 我平日所愛的人向我翻臉。
20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
20我的皮肉緊貼骨頭； 我只剩牙皮逃脫了。
21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
21我朋友啊，可憐我！可憐我！ 因為上帝的手攻擊我。
22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
22你們為甚麼彷彿上帝逼迫我， 吃我的肉還以為不足呢？
23Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
23惟願我的言語現在寫上， 都記錄在書上；
24That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
24用鐵筆鐫刻， 用鉛灌在磐石上，直存到永遠。
25But as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He will witness at the last upon the dust;
25我知道我的救贖主活着， 末了必站立在地上。
26And when after my skin this is destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see God;
26我這皮肉滅絕之後， 我必在肉體之外得見上帝。
27Whom I, even I, shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another's. My reins are consumed within me.
27我自己要見他， 親眼要看他，並不像外人。 我的心腸在我裏面消滅了！
28If ye say: 'How we will persecute him!' seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
28你們若說：我們逼迫他要何等地重呢？ 惹 事的根乃在乎他；
29Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
29你們就當懼怕刀劍； 因為忿怒 惹動 刀劍的刑罰， 使你們知道有報應。
