Job 18

书亚人比勒达回答说：

shū yà rén bǐ lè dá huí dá shuō ：

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

你寻索言语要到几时呢？ 你可以揣摩思想，然后我们就说话。

nǐ xún suǒ yán yǔ yào dào jǐ shí ne ？ nǐ kě yǐ chuāi mó sī xiǎng ， rán hòu wǒ men jiù shuō huà 。

“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

我们为何算为畜生， 在你眼中看作污秽呢？

wǒ men wèi hé suàn wèi chù sheng ， zài nǐ yǎn zhōng kàn zuò wū huì ne ？

Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?

你这恼怒将自己撕裂的， 难道大地为你见弃、 磐石挪开原处吗？

nǐ zhè nǎo nù jiāng zì jǐ sī liè de ， nán dào dà dì wèi nǐ jiàn qì 、 pán shí nuó kāi yuán chù ma ？

You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?

恶人的亮光必要熄灭； 他的火焰必不照耀。

è rén de liàng guāng bì yào xī miè ； tā de huǒ yàn bì bú zhào yào 。

“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.

他帐棚中的亮光要变为黑暗； 他以上的灯也必熄灭。

tā zhàng péng zhōng de liàng guāng yào biàn wèi hēi àn ； tā yǐ shàng de dēng yě bì xī miè 。

The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.

他坚强的脚步必见狭窄； 自己的计谋必将他绊倒。

tā jiān qiáng de jiǎo bù bì jiàn xiá zhǎi ； zì jǐ de jì móu bì jiāng tā bàn dǎo 。

The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.

因为他被自己的脚陷入网中， 走在缠人的网罗上。

yīn wèi tā bèi zì jǐ de jiǎo xiàn rù wǎng zhōng ， zǒu zài chán rén de wǎng luó shàng 。

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.

圈套必抓住他的脚跟； 机关必擒获他。

quān tào bì zhuā zhù tā de jiǎo gēn ； jī guān bì qín huò tā 。

A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.

活扣为他藏在土内； 羁绊为他藏在路上。

huó kòu wèi tā cáng zài tǔ nèi ； jī bàn wèi tā cáng zài lù shang 。

A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.

四面的惊吓要使他害怕， 并且追赶他的脚跟。

sì miàn de jīng xià yào shǐ tā hài pà ， bìng qiě zhuī gǎn tā de jiǎo gēn 。

Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.

他的力量必因饥饿衰败； 祸患要在他旁边等候。

tā de lì liàng bì yīn jī è shuāi bài ； huò huàn yào zài tā páng biān děng hòu 。

His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.

他本身的肢体要被吞吃； 死亡的长子要吞吃他的肢体。

tā běn shēn de zhī tǐ yào bèi tūn chī ； sǐ wáng de zhǎng zǐ yào tūn chī tā de zhī tǐ 。

The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.

他要从所倚靠的帐棚被拔出来， 带到惊吓的王那里。

tā yào cóng suǒ yǐ kào de zhàng péng bèi bá chū lái ， dài dào jīng xià de wáng nà lǐ 。

He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.

不属他的必住在他的帐棚里； 硫磺必撒在他所住之处。

bù shǔ tā de bì zhù zài tā de zhàng péng lǐ ； liú huáng bì sā zài tā suǒ zhù zhī chù 。

There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.

下边，他的根本要枯干； 上边，他的枝子要剪除。

xià biān ， tā de gēn běn yào kū gān ； shàng biān ， tā de zhī zǐ yào jiǎn chú 。

His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.

他的记念在地上必然灭亡； 他的名字在街上也不存留。

tā de jì niàn zài dì shàng bì rán miè wáng ； tā de míng zì zài jiē shàng yě bù cún liú 。

His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.

他必从光明中被撵到黑暗里， 必被赶出世界。

tā bì cóng guāng míng zhōng bèi niǎn dào hēi àn lǐ ， bì bèi gǎn chū shì jiè 。

He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

在本民中必无子无孙； 在寄居之地也无一人存留。

zài běn mín zhōng bì wú zǐ wú sūn ； zài jì jū zhī dì yě wú yì rén cún liú 。

He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.

以后来的要惊奇他的日子， 好像以前去的受了惊骇。

yǐ hòu lái de yào jīng qí tā de rì zi ， hǎo xiàng yǐ qián qù de shòu le jīng hài 。

Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.

不义之人的住处总是这样； 此乃不认识 神之人的地步。

bú yì zhī rén de zhù chù zǒng shì zhè yàng ； cǐ nǎi bú rèn shi shén zhī rén de dì bù 。

Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
