Job:Chapter 30

約伯傳	Job
¹但現今年紀小於我的人，都嘲笑我；這些人的父親，我都不屑於列在守我羊群的狗中。	¹But now the younger in time scorn me, whose fathers I would not have set with the dogs of my flock:
²他們的精力已經喪失，他們手臂的力量，對我還有何用？	²The strength of whose hands was to me as nothing, and they were thought unworthy of life itself.
³他們因貧乏和饑饉而消瘦，咀嚼曠野裏的草根，以及荒山野嶺所生的荊棘。	³Barren with want and hunger, who gnawed in the wilderness, disfigured with calamity and misery.
⁴他們由叢莽中採取鹹菜，以杜松根做自己的食物。	⁴And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
⁵人將他們由人群中逐出，在他們後面喊叫有如追賊；	⁵Who snatched up these things out of the valleys, and when they had found any of them, they ran to them with a cry.
⁶他們只得避居於深谷，住在山洞和巖穴中；	⁶They dwelt in the desert places of torrents, and in caves of earth, or upon the gravel.
⁷在荊棘叢中哀歎，在葛藤下蝟縮。	⁷They pleased themselves among these kind of things, and counted it delightful to be under the briers.
⁸這些人都是流氓的後代，都是無名氏之子孫，由本國驅逐境外的。	⁸The children of foolish and base men, and not appearing at all upon the earth.
⁹但現今我竟成了他們的歌謠，做了他們的話柄。	⁹Now I am turned into their song, and am become their byword.
¹⁰他們因憎惡我而遠離我，竟任意向我臉上吐唾沫。	¹⁰They abhor me, and flee far from me, and are not afraid to spit in my face.
¹¹他們解開了韁繩以攻擊我，在我面前除掉了轡頭。	¹¹For he hath opened his quiver, and hath afflicted me, and hath put a bridle into my mouth.
¹²下流之輩在我右邊起來，向我投擲石頭，築成一條使我喪亡的路。	¹²At the right hand of my rising, my calamities forthwith arose: they have overthrown my feet, and have overwhelmed me with their paths as with waves.
¹³他們破壞了我的道路，使我跌仆，卻沒有人阻止他們。	¹³They have destroyed my ways, they have lain in wait against me, and they have prevailed, and there was none to help.
¹⁴他們由寬大的缺口進入，輾轉於廢墟之中。	¹⁴They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries.
¹⁵恐怖臨於我身，我的尊榮如被風吹散，我的救恩如浮雲逝去。	¹⁵I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.
¹⁶現今我的心神已頹廢，憂患的日子不放鬆我。	¹⁶And now my soul fadeth within myself, and the days of affliction possess me.
¹⁷夜間痛苦刺透我骨，我的脉絡都不得安息。	¹⁷In the night my bone is pierced with sorrows: and they that feed upon me, do not sleep.
¹⁸天主以大力抓住我的衣服，握緊我長衣的領口，	¹⁸With the multitude of them my garment is consumed, and they have girded me about, as with the collar of my coat.
¹⁹將我投入泥中，使我變成灰土。	¹⁹I am compared to dirt, and am likened to embers and ashes.
²⁰天主啊！我向你呼號，你不回答我；我立起來，你也不理睬我。	²⁰I cry to thee, and thou hearest me not: I stand up, and thou dost not regard me.
²¹你對我變成了暴君，用你有力的手迫害我。	²¹Thou art changed to be cruel toward me, and in the hardness of thy hand thou art against me.
²²你將我提起，乘風而去，使我在狂風中飄搖不定。	²²Thou hast lifted me up, and set me as it were upon the wind, and thou hast mightily dashed me.
²³我知道你要導我於死亡，到眾生聚集的家鄉。	²³I know that thou wilt deliver me to death, where a house is appointed for every one that liveth.
²⁴若窮人遇到不幸向我求救，我豈不伸手去援助他？	²⁴But yet thou stretchest not forth thy hand to their consumption: and if they shall fall down thou wilt save.
²⁵人遭難，我豈沒有流淚？人窮乏，我的心豈沒有憐憫？	²⁵I wept heretofore for him that was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
²⁶我希望幸福，來的卻是災禍；我期待光明，黑暗反而來臨。	²⁶I expected good things, and evils are come upon me: I waited for light, and darkness broke out.
²⁷我內心煩惱不安，痛苦的日子常臨於我。	²⁷My inner parts have boiled without any rest, the days of affliction have prevented me.
²⁸我憂悶而行，無人安慰我，我要在集會中起立喊冤。	²⁸I went mourning without indignation; I rose up, and cried in the crowd.
²⁹我成了豺狼的兄弟，成了駝鳥的伴侶。	²⁹I was the brother of dragons, and companion of ostriches.
³⁰我的皮膚變黑，我的骨頭因熱灼焦，	³⁰My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up with heat.
³¹我的琴瑟奏出哀調，我的簫笛發出哭聲。	³¹My harp is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of those that weep.
