约伯传:Chapter 20

约伯传	Job
¹纳阿玛人左法尔答复说：	¹Zophar of Naamath spoke next:
²因我的思潮起伏，叫我答复，为此我内心十分急躁。	²My troubled thoughts move me to reply for I have been feeling impatient.
³斥责辱骂我的话，我已听到，我的理智催迫我答复。	³I hear a rebuke which puts me to shame, and I am inspired to give an answer.
⁴你岂不知道，自古以来，自从世上有人以来，	⁴You know how it has been from of old, since man was placed on earth,
⁵恶人的欢欣决不久长，无神者的喜乐瞬息即逝？	⁵that the triumph of the wicked is short and the joy of the godless is but a moment.
⁶他的骄傲虽高顶苍天，他的头虽插入青云，	⁶Though his pride reach to the heavens and his head touch the clouds,
⁷但他必像幻像，永归无有；见过他的人必说：「他那里去了？」	⁷he vanishes like a phantom; those who have seen him ask where he is.
⁸他又像梦境消散，无蹟可寻；又像夜梦，消失无踪。	⁸Like a dream he takes flight, like a vision of the night.
⁹见过他的眼，再也见不到他；他的住所，再也不认识他。	⁹The eye that met him sees him no more; neither shall his dwelling shelter him again.
¹⁰他的儿子要赔偿穷人的损害，他要亲手把财物交还。	¹⁰His children must make amends to his victims; his own hands must pay back his riches.
¹¹他的骨骸虽富有魄力，但要同他一起埋于尘埃。	¹¹His youthful frame that was full of vigor shall at last lie with him in the dust.
¹²邪恶在他口中虽觉甘甜，藏在他的舌下，	¹²E vil was sweet in his mouth, and he hid it under his tongue,
¹³他虽爱惜不舍，久久含在口中；	¹³He liked it and did not let it go and still kept it within his mouth,
¹⁴但那食物在他腹中要起变化，在他五内要变成蛇的毒汁。	¹⁴yet his food turns sour and becomes venom in his stomach.
¹⁵他并吞的财富，必要吐出，天主必使之由他腹中呕出。	¹⁵He vomits the riches he swallowed; God compels his belly to belch it out.
¹⁶他原吸入了蛇的毒汁，毒蛇的舌头必将他杀死。	¹⁶Because he sucked the poison of a viper, he will be killed by the fangs of an adder.
¹⁷他不得观赏油流如溪，也看不到那流蜜流奶的小河。	¹⁷He will no longer see the streams of oil, no rivers of honey and milk.
¹⁸他劳力之所得，应该退还，不得吞下；赚来的财富，不得享用。	¹⁸He gives back the fruit of his toil: he could not swallow it.
¹⁹因为他压搾了穷人，使他们无依；强占了人家的房屋，不得再建。	¹⁹For he has oppressed the poor and seized houses instead of building them.
²⁰因为他口腹之欲总不知足，他所喜爱之物，也救不了他。	²⁰For his greed had no limit, and no one could escape his appetite;
²¹没有什么能逃脱他的吞噬，他的幸福决不久长。	²¹he devoured them, one and all. This is why his prosperity will not endure.
²²他财产富足时，却不免拮据，各种的困苦齐集他身。	²²In the midst of plenty, distress seizes him, the full force of misery falls upon him.
²³当他肚腹饱满时，天主的怒火突然降到，箭如雨点射在他身上。	²³When his belly is filled God unloads his wrath upon him and pelts him with his arrows.
²⁴他逃避过铁器，铜矢必将他射穿。	²⁴While he flees from an iron weapon, the bronze bow strikes him down.
²⁵一箭由他的脊背穿透，光亮的箭矢由他的胆囊穿出，死亡的恐怖已落在他身上。	²⁵A dart sticks in his back, in his liver an arrow. He is in the grip of a terrible fear;
²⁶层层黑暗留作他的宝藏，非人燃起的火要焚烧他，吞尽留在他帐幕的人。	²⁶total darkness has been stored for him, a fire which he did not kindle devours him and consumes whatever was left in his tent.
²⁷天要彰显他的罪恶，地也起来攻击他。	²⁷The heavens will expose his guilt; the earth will rise up against him.
²⁸洪水冲走他的住宅，在天主义怒之日要全被冲去。	²⁸A flood will sweep away his house, the waters of God's wrath.
²⁹这是恶人由天主所应得的一份，是天主为他所註定的产业。	²⁹Such is the fate of the wicked - their lot which comes from God.
