Job 20

拿玛人琐法回答说：

ná mǎ rén suǒ fǎ huí dá shuō ：

Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,

我心中急躁， 所以我的思念叫我回答。

wǒ xīn zhōng jí zào ， suǒ yǐ wǒ de sī niàn jiào wǒ huí dá 。

“Therefore my thoughts answer me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.

我已听见那羞辱我，责备我的话； 我的悟性叫我回答。

wǒ yǐ tīng jiàn nà xiū rǔ wǒ ， zé bèi wǒ de huà ； wǒ de wù xìng jiào wǒ huí dá 。

I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.

你岂不知亘古以来， 自从人生在地，

nǐ qǐ bù zhī gèn gǔ yǐ lái ， zì cóng rén shēng zài dì ，

Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,

恶人夸胜是暂时的， 不敬虔人的喜乐不过转眼之间吗？

è rén kuā shèng shì zàn shí de ， bú jìng qián rén de xǐ lè bú guò zhuǎn yǎn zhī jiān ma ？

that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?

他的尊荣虽达到天上， 头虽顶到云中，

tā de zūn róng suī dá dào tiān shàng ， tóu suī dǐng dào yún zhōng ，

Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,

他终必灭亡，像自己的粪一样； 素来见他的人要说：他在哪里呢？

tā zhōng bì miè wáng ， xiàng zì jǐ de fèn yí yàng ； sù lái jiàn tā de rén yào shuō ： tā zài nǎ lǐ ne ？

yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

他必飞去如梦，不再寻见， 速被赶去，如夜间的异象。

tā bì fēi qù rú mèng ， bú zài xún jiàn ， sù bèi gǎn qù ， rú yè jiān de yì xiàng 。

He will fly away as a dream, and will not be found. Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

亲眼见过他的，必不再见他； 他的本处也再见不着他。

qīn yǎn jiàn guò tā de ， bì bú zài jiàn tā ； tā de běn chù yě zài jiàn bù zhe tā 。

The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.

他的儿女要求穷人的恩； 他的手要赔还不义之财。

tā de ér nǚ yāo qiú qióng rén de ēn ； tā de shǒu yào péi huán bú yì zhī cái 。

His children will seek the favor of the poor. His hands will give back his wealth.

他的骨头虽然有青年之力， 却要和他一同躺卧在尘土中。

tā de gǔ tou suī rán yǒu qīng nián zhī lì ， què yào hé tā yì tóng tǎng wò zài chén tǔ zhōng 。

His bones are full of his youth, but youth will lie down with him in the dust.

他口内虽以恶为甘甜， 藏在舌头底下，

tā kǒu nèi suī yǐ è wèi gān tián ， cáng zài shé tou dǐ xià ，

“Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,

爱恋不舍，含在口中；

ài liàn bú shè ， hán zài kǒu zhōng ；

though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth,

他的食物在肚里却要化为酸， 在他里面成为虺蛇的恶毒。

tā de shí wù zài dù lǐ què yào huà wéi suān ， zài tā lǐ miàn chéng wéi huī shé de è dú 。

yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.

他吞了财宝，还要吐出； 神要从他腹中掏出来。

tā tūn le cái bǎo ， hái yào tǔ chū ； shén yào cóng tā fù zhōng tāo chū lái 。

He has swallowed down riches, and he will vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.

他必吸饮虺蛇的毒气； 蝮蛇的舌头也必杀他。

tā bì xī yǐn huī shé de dú qì ； fù shé de shé tou yě bì shā tā 。

He will suck cobra venom. The viper’s tongue will kill him.

流奶与蜜之河， 他不得再见。

liú nǎi yǔ mì zhī hé ， tā bù dé zài jiàn 。

He will not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.

他劳碌得来的要赔还，不得享用 ； 不能照所得的财货欢乐。

tā láo lù dé lái de yào péi huán ， bù dé xiǎng yòng ； bù néng zhào suǒ dé de cái huò huān lè 。

He will restore that for which he labored, and will not swallow it down. He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.

他欺压穷人，且又离弃； 强取非自己所盖的房屋 。

tā qī yā qióng rén ， qiě yòu lí qì ； qiáng qǔ fēi zì jǐ suǒ gài de fáng wū 。

For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.

他因贪而无厌， 所喜悦的连一样也不能保守。

tā yīn tān ér wú yàn ， suǒ xǐ yuè de lián yí yàng yě bù néng bǎo shǒu 。

“Because he knew no quietness within him, he will not save anything of that in which he delights.

其余的没有一样他不吞灭， 所以他的福乐不能长久。

qí yú de méi yǒu yí yàng tā bù tūn miè ， suǒ yǐ tā de fú lè bù néng cháng jiǔ 。

There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity will not endure.

他在满足有余的时候，必到狭窄的地步； 凡受苦楚的人都必加手在他身上。

tā zài mǎn zú yǒu yú de shí hòu ， bì dào xiá zhǎi de dì bù ； fán shòu kǔ chǔ de rén dōu bì jiā shǒu zài tā shēn shàng 。

In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.

他正要充满肚腹的时候， 神必将猛烈的忿怒降在他身上； 正在他吃饭的时候， 要将这忿怒像雨降在他身上。

tā zhèng yào chōng mǎn dù fù de shí hòu ， shén bì jiāng měng liè de fèn nù jiàng zài tā shēn shàng ； zhèng zài tā chī fàn de shí hòu ， yào jiāng zhè fèn nù xiàng yǔ jiàng zài tā shēn shàng 。

When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.

他要躲避铁器； 铜弓的箭要将他射透。

tā yào duǒ bì tiě qì ； tóng gōng de jiàn yào jiāng tā shè tòu 。

He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through.

他把箭一抽，就从他身上出来； 发光的箭头从他胆中出来， 有惊惶临在他身上。

tā bǎ jiàn yì chōu ， jiù cóng tā shēn shàng chū lái ； fā guāng de jiàn tóu cóng tā dǎn zhōng chū lái ， yǒu jīng huáng lín zài tā shēn shàng 。

He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.

他的财宝归于黑暗； 人所不吹的火要把他烧灭， 要把他帐棚中所剩下的烧毁。

tā de cái bǎo guī yú hēi àn ； rén suǒ bù chuī de huǒ yào bǎ tā shāo miè ， yào bǎ tā zhàng péng zhōng suǒ shèng xià de shāo huǐ 。

All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire will devour him. It will consume that which is left in his tent.

天要显明他的罪孽； 地要兴起攻击他。

tiān yào xiǎn míng tā de zuì niè ； dì yào xīng qǐ gōng jī tā 。

The heavens will reveal his iniquity. The earth will rise up against him.

他的家产必然过去； 神发怒的日子，他的货物都要消灭。

tā de jiā chǎn bì rán guò qù ； shén fā nù de rì zi ， tā de huò wù dōu yào xiāo miè 。

The increase of his house will depart. They will rush away in the day of his wrath.

这是恶人从 神所得的分， 是 神为他所定的产业。

zhè shì è rén cóng shén suǒ dé de fēn ， shì shén wèi tā suǒ dìng de chǎn yè 。

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God.”
