约伯记 8

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.

书亚人比勒达回答说:

shū yà rén bǐ lè dá huí dá shuō :

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

这些话你要说到几时? 口中的言语如狂风要到几时呢?

zhè xiē huà nǐ yào shuō dào jǐ shí ? kǒu zhōng de yán yǔ rú kuáng fēng yào dào jǐ shí ne ?

“How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

神岂能偏离公平? 全能者岂能偏离公义?

shén qǐ néng piān lí gōng píng ? quán néng zhě qǐ néng piān lí gōng yì ?

Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

或者你的儿女得罪了他; 他使他们受报应。

huò zhě nǐ de ér nǚ dé zuì le tā ; tā shǐ tā men shòu bào yìng 。

If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.

你若殷勤地寻求 神, 向全能者恳求;

nǐ ruò yīn qín de xún qiú shén , xiàng quán néng zhě kěn qiú ;

If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.

你若清洁正直, 他必定为你起来, 使你公义的居所兴旺。

nǐ ruò qīng jié zhèng zhí , tā bì dìng wèi nǐ qǐ lái , shǐ nǐ gōng yì de jū suǒ xīng wàng 。

If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.

你起初虽然微小, 终久必甚发达。

nǐ qǐ chū suī rán wēi xiǎo , zhōng jiǔ bì shèn fā dá 。

Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.

请你考问前代, 追念他们的列祖所查究的。

qǐng nǐ kǎo wèn qián dài , zhuī niàn tā men de liè zǔ suǒ chá jiū de 。

“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.

我们不过从昨日才有,一无所知; 我们在世的日子好像影儿。

wǒ men bú guò cóng zuó rì cái yǒu , yì wú suǒ zhī ; wǒ men zài shì de rì zi hǎo xiàng yǐng ér 。

(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)

他们岂不指教你,告诉你, 从心里发出言语来呢?

tā men qǐ bù zhǐ jiào nǐ , gào sù nǐ , cóng xīn li fā chū yán yǔ lái ne ?

Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?

蒲草没有泥岂能发长? 芦荻没有水岂能生发?

pú cǎo méi yǒu ní qǐ néng fā zhǎng ? lú dí méi yǒu shuǐ qǐ néng shēng fà ?

“Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?

尚青的时候,还没有割下, 比百样的草先枯槁。

shàng qīng de shí hou , hái méi yǒu gē xià , bǐ bǎi yàng de cǎo xiān kū gǎo 。

While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.

凡忘记 神的人,景况也是这样; 不虔敬人的指望要灭没。

fán wàng jì shén de rén , jǐng kuàng yě shì zhè yàng ; bù qián jìng rén de zhǐ wàng yào miè mò 。

So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,

他所仰赖的必折断; 他所倚靠的是蜘蛛网。

tā suǒ yǎng lài de bì zhé duàn ; tā suǒ yǐ kào de shì zhī zhū wǎng 。

whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.

他要倚靠房屋,房屋却站立不住; 他要抓住房屋,房屋却不能存留。

tā yào yǐ kào fáng wū , fáng wū què zhàn lì bú zhù ; tā yào zhuā zhù fáng wū , fáng wū què bù néng cún liú 。

He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.

他在日光之下发青, 蔓子爬满了园子;

tā zài rì guāng zhī xià fā qīng , màn zǐ pá mǎn le yuán zǐ ;

He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.

他的根盘绕石堆, 扎入石地。

tā de gēn pán rào shí duī , zhā rù shí dì 。

His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.

他若从本地被拔出, 那地就不认识他,说: 我没有见过你。

tā ruò cóng běn dì bèi bá chū , nà dì jiù bú rèn shi tā , shuō : wǒ méi yǒu jiàn guò nǐ 。

If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’

看哪,这就是他道中之乐; 以后必另有人从地而生。

kàn nǎ , zhè jiù shì tā dào zhōng zhī lè ; yǐ hòu bì lìng yǒu rén cóng dì ér shēng 。

Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.

神必不丢弃完全人, 也不扶助邪恶人。

shén bì bù diū qì wán quán rén , yě bù fú zhù xié è rén 。

“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.

他还要以喜笑充满你的口, 以欢呼充满你的嘴。

tā hái yào yǐ xǐ xiào chōng mǎn nǐ de kǒu , yǐ huān hū chōng mǎn nǐ de zuǐ 。

He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.

恨恶你的要披戴惭愧; 恶人的帐棚必归于无有。

hèn wù nǐ de yào pī dài cán kuì ; è rén de zhàng peng bì guī yú wú yǒu 。

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
