約伯記 27

約伯接着說：

yuē bó jiē zhe shuō ：

Job again took up his parable, and said,

上帝奪去我的理，全能者使我心中愁苦。 我指着永生的上帝起誓：

shén duó qù wǒ de lǐ ， quán néng zhě shǐ wǒ xīn zhōng chóu kǔ 。 wǒ zhǐ zhe yǒng shēng de shén qǐ shì ：

“As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter

我的生命尚在我裏面； 上帝所賜呼吸之氣仍在我的鼻孔內。

wǒ de shēng mìng shàng zài wǒ lǐ miàn ； shén suǒ cì hū xī zhī qì réng zài wǒ de bí kǒng nèi 。

(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

我的嘴決不說非義之言； 我的舌也不說詭詐之語。

wǒ de zuǐ jué bù shuō fēi yì zhī yán ； wǒ de shé yě bù shuō guǐ zhà zhī yǔ 。

surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.

我斷不以你們為是； 我至死必不以自己為不正！

wǒ duàn bù yǐ nǐ men wèi shì ； wǒ zhì sǐ bì bù yǐ zì jǐ wèi bú zhèng ！

Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

我持定我的義，必不放鬆； 在世的日子，我心必不責備我。

wǒ chí dìng wǒ de yì ， bì bú fàng sōng ； zài shì de rì zi ， wǒ xīn bì bù zé bèi wǒ 。

I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.

願我的仇敵如惡人一樣； 願那起來攻擊我的，如不義之人一般。

yuàn wǒ de chóu dí rú è rén yí yàng ； yuàn nà qǐ lái gōng jī wǒ de ， rú bú yì zhī rén yì bān 。

“Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

不敬虔的人雖然得利， 上帝奪取其命的時候還有甚麼指望呢？

bú jìng qián de rén suī rán dé lì ， shén duó qǔ qí mìng de shí hòu hái yǒu shén me zhǐ wàng ne ？

For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

患難臨到他， 上帝豈能聽他的呼求？

huàn nàn lín dào tā ， shén qǐ néng tīng tā de hū qiú ？

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

他豈以全能者為樂， 隨時求告上帝呢？

tā qǐ yǐ quán néng zhě wèi lè ， suí shí qiú gào shén ne ？

Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?

上帝的作為，我要指教你們； 全能者所行的，我也不隱瞞。

shén de zuò wéi ， wǒ yào zhǐ jiào nǐ men ； quán néng zhě suǒ xíng de ， wǒ yě bù yǐn mán 。

I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.

你們自己也都見過， 為何全然變為虛妄呢？

nǐ men zì jǐ yě dōu jiàn guò ， wèi hé quán rán biàn wèi xū wàng ne ？

Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?

上帝為惡人所定的分， 強暴人從全能者所得的報 乃是這樣：

shén wèi è rén suǒ dìng de fēn ， qiáng bào rén cóng quán néng zhě suǒ dé de bào nǎi shì zhè yàng ：

“This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

倘或他的兒女增多，還是被刀所殺； 他的子孫必不得飽食。

tǎng huò tā de ér nǚ zēng duō ， hái shì bèi dāo suǒ shā ； tā de zǐ sūn bì bù dé bǎo shí 。

If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.

他所遺留的人必死而埋葬； 他的寡婦也不哀哭。

tā suǒ yí liú de rén bì sǐ ér mái zàng ； tā de guǎ fù yě bù āi kū 。

Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.

他雖積蓄銀子如塵沙， 預備衣服如泥土；

tā suī jī xù yín zi rú chén shā ， yù bèi yī fu rú ní tǔ ；

Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;

他只管預備，義人卻要穿上； 他的銀子，無辜的人要分取。

tā zhī guǎn yù bèi ， yì rén què yào chuān shàng ； tā de yín zi ， wú gū de rén yào fēn qǔ 。

he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.

他建造房屋如蟲做窩， 又如守望者所搭的棚。

tā jiàn zào fáng wū rú chóng zuò wō ， yòu rú shǒu wàng zhě suǒ dā de péng 。

He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.

他雖富足躺臥，卻不得收殮， 轉眼之間就不在了。

tā suī fù zú tǎng wò ， què bù dé shōu liàn ， zhuǎn yǎn zhī jiān jiù bú zài le 。

He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

驚恐如波濤將他追上； 暴風在夜間將他颳去。

jīng kǒng rú bō tāo jiāng tā zhuī shàng ； bào fēng zài yè jiān jiāng tā guā qù 。

Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.

東風把他飄去， 又颳他離開本處。

dōng fēng bǎ tā piāo qù ， yòu guā tā lí kāi běn chù 。

The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.

上帝要向他射箭，並不留情； 他恨不得逃脫上帝的手。

shén yào xiàng tā shè jiàn ， bìng bù liú qíng ； tā hèn bù dé táo tuō shén de shǒu 。

For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.

人要向他拍掌， 並要發叱聲，使他離開本處。

rén yào xiàng tā pāi zhǎng ， bìng yào fā chì shēng ， shǐ tā lí kāi běn chù 。

Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
