1約伯回答說: | 1Job answered and said: |
2直到今天,我還是痛苦的哀訴,他沉重的手掌,使我不得不呻吟。 | 2Again today my complaint is rebellious; I groan under his heavy hand. |
3惟願我知道怎樣能尋到天主,能到達他的寶座前, | 3If only I knew where to find him, if only I could go to his dwelling, |
4好將我的案情向他陳訴,因為我口中滿了證詞! | 4I would bring my case before him and lay out in full my arguments. |
5惟願我知道他答覆我的話,明瞭他向我說什麼! | 5I would find out his answer and understand what he would say. |
6他豈能靠強力同我爭辯?決不,他必留神聽我。 | 6Would he need great power to debate with me? No! he needs only to listen! |
7如此,他會分辨出同他爭論的是個正直人,也許我可永久不再受裁判! | 7He would know the complainant to be an upright man and I would be free of my judge. |
8可是我往東行,他不在那裏;我往西行,也找不到他; | 8But if I go eastward, he is not there; if I go westward, I still cannot see him. |
9往北找,也看不見他;往南去,也見不到他。 | 9Seeking him in the north, I do not find him; looking for him in the south, he is not there. |
10他洞悉我所有的行動。他若試驗我,我必如純金出現。 | 10But he knows my every step, and I will come out as gold in his test. |
11我的腳緊隨着他的足跡,謹守他的道,總沒有偏離。 | 11I have always walked along his path; I have kept his ways and not turned aside. |
12他所發的命令,我總沒有違背;他口中的訓言,我常保存在心中。 | 12I have not departed from his commands, instead I have treasured his words. |
13但他所決定的,誰能變更?他所樂意的,必要實行。 | 13But who can oppose once he has decided? He does what he desires. |
14他為我註定的,必要完成;類似的事,還有很多。 | 14He will carry out his decree and other plans laid out for me. |
15因此,為了他,我很驚慌,一想起來就害怕。 | 15That is why I am terrified when I think of all this. |
16天主使我的心沮喪,全能者使我恐怖。 | 16God has made me lose courage; the Almighty has made me afraid, |
17因為我雖面臨黑暗,幽暗雖遮蓋我的面,我仍不喪氣。 | 17but I am not silenced by darkness, by the thick gloom that covers my face. |
