| 約伯傳 | Job |

| 1此後約伯開口詛咒自己的生日。 | 1At length it was Job who spoke, cursing the day of his birth. This is what he said: |
| 2約伯開始說： | 2Cursed be the day I was born, and the night which whispered: A boy has been conceived. |
| 3願我誕生的那日消逝，願報告「懷了男胎」的那夜滅亡。 | 3May that day be dark, may God on high ignore it. May no light shine upon it. |
| 4願那日成為黑暗，願天主從上面不再尋覓它，再沒有光燭照它。 | 4May the shadow of death claim it as its own. May a cloud settle over it; may blackness obstruct its light. |
| 5願黑暗和陰影玷污它，濃雲遮蓋它，白晝失光的晦暗驚嚇它。 | 5Let darkness swallow that night let it not add to the rest of the year let it not be included in the month. |
| 6願那夜常為黑暗所制，不讓它列入年歲中，不讓它算在月分裏。 | 6That night - oh, let it be barren, untouched by shouts of joy. |
| 7願那夜孤寂煢獨，毫無歡呼之聲。 | 7Let it be cursed by those who hate the light, sorcerers who call on the Devil. |
| 8願那詛咒白日者，有術召喚海怪者，前來詛咒那夜。 | 8Let its morning stars no longer shine; let it wait for light in vain and never see the first rays of dawn, |
| 9願晨星昏暗，期待光明而光明不至，也不見晨光熹微， | 9since it did not close the womb to keep my eyes from seeing doom. |
| 10因為它沒有關閉我母胎之門，遮住我眼前的愁苦。 | 10Why didn't I die at birth, or come from the womb without breath? |
| 11我為何一出母胎沒有立即死去？為何我一離母腹沒有斷氣？ | 11Why the knees that received me, why the breasts that suckled me? |
| 12為何兩膝接住我？為何兩乳哺養我？ | 12For then I should have lain down asleep and been at rest |
| 13不然，現今我早已臥下安睡了，早已永眠獲得安息了， | 13with kings and rulers of the earth who built for themselves lonely tombs; |
| 14與那些為自己建陵墓的國王和百官， | 14or with princes who had gold to spare and houses stuffed with silver. |
| 15與那些金銀滿堂的王侯同眠； | 15Why was I not stillborn, like others who did not see the light of morn? |
| 16或者像隱沒的流產兒，像未見光明的嬰孩； | 16There the trouble of the wicked ceases, there the weary find repose. |
| 17在那裏惡人停止作亂，在那裏勞悴者得享安寧； | 17There the prisoners are at ease; they no longer hear the taskmaster's voice. |
| 18囚徒相安無事，再不聞督工的呼叱聲； | 18Great and small fare equally there, where the slave is free from his master. |
| 19在那裏大小平等，奴隸脫離主人。 | 19Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the embittered? |
| 20為何賜不幸者以光明，賜心中憂苦者以生命？ | 20To those who long for death more than for hidden treasure? |
| 21這些人渴望死，而死不至；尋求死亡勝於寶藏， | 21They rejoice at the sight of their end, they are happy upon reaching the grave. |
| 22見到墳墓，感覺歡樂，且喜樂達於極點！ | 22Why give light to a man whose path has vanished, whose ways God blocks at every side? |
| 23人的道路，既如此渺茫，天主為何賜給他生命，又把他包圍？ | 23Instead of bread I feed on sighs. My groans are like water poured out. |
| 24歎息成了我的食物，不停哀歎有如流水。 | 24For what I fear has come upon me, what I dread has befallen me. |
| 25我所畏懼的，偏偏臨於我身；我所害怕的，卻迎面而來。 | 25I find no rest, I find no ease; only turmoil, nothing of peace! |
| 26我沒有安寧，也沒有平靜，得不到休息，而只有煩惱。 | 26 |
