中文圣经

约伯记 17

Job is an extended poetic dialogue on suffering: a righteous man loses everything, and he and his friends argue over why. It ends with a speech from the whirlwind rather than a tidy answer.

Words to learn first in this chapter

我的心灵消耗,我的日子灭尽; 坟墓为我预备好了。

wǒ de xīn líng xiāo hào , wǒ de rì zi miè jìn ; fén mù wèi wǒ yù bèi hǎo le 。

“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.

真有戏笑我的在我这里, 我眼常见他们惹动我。

zhēn yǒu xì xiào wǒ de zài wǒ zhè lǐ , wǒ yǎn cháng jiàn tā men rě dòng wǒ 。

Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.

愿主拿凭据给我,自己为我作保。 在你以外谁肯与我击掌呢?

yuàn zhǔ ná píng jù gěi wǒ , zì jǐ wèi wǒ zuò bǎo 。 zài nǐ yǐ wài shuí kěn yǔ wǒ jī zhǎng ne ?

“Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

因你使他们心不明理, 所以你必不高举他们。

yīn nǐ shǐ tā men xīn bù míng lǐ , suǒ yǐ nǐ bì bù gāo jǔ tā men 。

For you have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.

控告他的朋友、以朋友为可抢夺的, 连他儿女的眼睛也要失明。

kòng gào tā de péng you 、 yǐ péng you wéi kě qiǎng duó de , lián tā ér nǚ de yǎn jing yě yào shī míng 。

He who denounces his friends for plunder, even the eyes of his children will fail.

神使我作了民中的笑谈; 他们也吐唾沫在我脸上。

shén shǐ wǒ zuò le mín zhōng de xiào tán ; tā men yě tǔ tuò mo zài wǒ liǎn shàng 。

“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

我的眼睛因忧愁昏花; 我的百体好像影儿。

wǒ de yǎn jing yīn yōu chóu hūn huā ; wǒ de bǎi tǐ hǎo xiàng yǐng ér 。

My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

正直人因此必惊奇; 无辜的人要兴起攻击不敬虔之辈。

zhèng zhí rén yīn cǐ bì jīng qí ; wú gū de rén yào xīng qǐ gōng jī bú jìng qián zhī bèi 。

Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.

然而,义人要持守所行的道; 手洁的人要力上加力。

rán ér , yì rén yào chí shǒu suǒ xíng de dào ; shǒu jié de rén yào lì shàng jiā lì 。

Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

至于你们众人,可以再来辩论吧! 你们中间,我找不着一个智慧人。

zhì yú nǐ men zhòng rén , kě yǐ zài lái biàn lùn ba ! nǐ men zhōng jiān , wǒ zhǎo bù zháo yí ge zhì huì rén 。

But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.

我的日子已经过了; 我的谋算、我心所想望的已经断绝。

wǒ de rì zi yǐ jīng guò le ; wǒ de móu suàn 、 wǒ xīn suǒ xiǎng wàng de yǐ jīng duàn jué 。

My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

他们以黑夜为白昼, 说:亮光近乎黑暗。

tā men yǐ hēi yè wéi bái zhòu , shuō : liàng guāng jìn hū hēi àn 。

They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.

我若盼望阴间为我的房屋, 若下榻在黑暗中,

wǒ ruò pàn wàng yīn jiān wéi wǒ de fáng wū , ruò xià tà zài hēi àn zhōng ,

If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

若对朽坏说:你是我的父; 对虫说:你是我的母亲姊妹;

ruò duì xiǔ huài shuō : nǐ shì wǒ de fù ; duì chóng shuō : nǐ shì wǒ de mǔ qīn zǐ mèi ;

if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’

这样,我的指望在哪里呢? 我所指望的谁能看见呢?

zhè yàng , wǒ de zhǐ wàng zài nǎ lǐ ne ? wǒ suǒ zhǐ wàng de shuí néng kàn jiàn ne ?

where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?

等到安息在尘土中, 这指望必下到阴间的门闩那里了。

děng dào ān xī zài chén tǔ zhōng , zhè zhǐ wàng bì xià dào yīn jiān de mén shuān nà li le 。

Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”
