Job 8
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
1書亞 人 比勒達 回答說：
2How long wilt thou speak these things, seeing that the words of thy mouth are as a mighty 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 pervert justice?
3上帝豈能偏離公平？ 全能者豈能偏離公義？
4If thy children sinned against Him, He delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
4或者你的兒女得罪了他； 他使他們受報應。
5If thou wouldest seek earnestly unto God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
5你若殷勤地尋求上帝， 向全能者懇求；
6If thou wert pure and upright; surely now He would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
6你若清潔正直， 他必定為你起來， 使你公義的居所興旺。
7And though thy beginning was small, yet thy end should greatly increase.
7你起初雖然微小， 終久必甚發達。
8For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out —
8請你考問前代， 追念他們的列祖所查究的。
9For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are 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。
10Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
10他們豈不指教你，告訴你， 從心裏發出言語來呢？
11Can the rush shoot up without mire? Can the reed-grass grow without water?
11蒲草沒有泥豈能發長？ 蘆荻沒有水豈能生發？
12Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
12尚青的時候，還沒有割下， 比百樣的草先枯槁。
13So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hope of the godless man 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。
14Whose confidence is gossamer, and whose trust is a 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, but it shall not stand; he shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
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 is green before the sun, and his shoots go forth over his garden.
16他在日光之下發青， 蔓子爬滿了園子；
17His roots are wrapped about the heap, he beholdeth the place of stones.
17他的根盤繞 石 堆， 扎入石地。
18If he be destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him: 'I have not seen thee.'
18他若從本地被拔出， 那地就不認識他， 說 ： 我沒有見過你。
19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others spring.
19看哪，這就是他道中之樂； 以後必另有人從地而生。
20Behold, God will not cast away an innocent man, neither will He uphold the evil-doers;
20上帝必不丟棄完全人， 也不扶助邪惡人。
21Till He fill thy mouth with laughter, and thy lips with shouting.
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 shame; and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
22恨惡你的要披戴慚愧； 惡人的帳棚必歸於無有。
