约伯传 Job
1约伯回答说: 1Job replied:
2你们且听一听我的话!这也算是你们给我的安慰。 2Listen at least to my words, enough of your consolation.
3请让我发言,我说完后,任你们笑骂。 3Bear with me while I speak; and then you can mock.
4我岂是抱怨人?我失了忍耐,难道没有理由? 4Is my grudge against humans? Why then should I not be impatient?
5你们注意听我,必要吃惊,且要用手堵住口。 5Look at me and be appalled; cover your mouth for a moment.
6甚至我一回想,我就恐怖,全身战栗。 6When I think about this I am troubled and trembling seizes my body.
7恶人为何享受高寿而势力强大? 7Why do the wicked live, increase in age and in power?
8他们在世时,子孙昌盛,亲眼看见子子孙孙。 8Their descendants fluorish in their sight, their kinsfolk and their offspring.
9他们的住宅平安,无所畏惧,天主的棍杖也不加在他们身上。 9Their homes are safe, free from fear; they do not feel the scourge of God.
10他们的公牛交尾,无不成功;母牛产子,决无流产。 10Their bulls breed without fail; their cows calve and do not miscarry.
11他们使孩子跑出像羊群,子女跳跃如麋鹿。 11They have children as they have lambs their little ones dance like deer.
12他们伴着手鼓与竖琴歌唱,随着笛声欢呼。 12They sing to the rhythm of timbrel and harp; make merry to the sound of the flute.
13他们幸福地度过天年,平安地降入阴府。 13They live out their days in happiness and go down to Sheol in peace.
14但他们曾向天主说:「离开我们!我们不愿知道你的道路。 14Yet they said to God, "Go away! We have no desire to learn your way.
15全能者是谁,竟叫我们事奉他?我们祈求他有什么好处?」 15Who is the Almighty that we should serve him? What will it profit us if we pray to him?"
16看啊!他们的幸福,岂不在他们掌握中?恶人的思想岂不离他很远? 16Though they planned everything far from God prosperity is in their hands.
17恶人的灯有多少次熄灭过?灾祸有多少次降在他们身上?天主何尝因忿怒而消灭他们? 17How often is their lamp put out? How often does calamity befall them? How often does God's anger wipe them out?
18使他们像被风吹的碎稭?好像被暴风卷去的糠粃? 18How often are they like straw before the wind, like chaff which the storm sweeps away?
19难道天主要向他的儿子讨罪债?其实应向他本人报复,叫他觉悟! 19You say, "His children will pay for his sin." Let the man himself pay for his iniquity;
20叫他亲眼看见自己的毁灭,亲自饮下全能者的义怒之杯。 20let his own eyes see his misfortune; let him drink the wrath of the Almighty!
21他既逝去,他本人的岁月已绝,他的家庭对他还有什么相干? 21What does he care about his family when he dies, when his months have been cut off?
22天主既审判天上者,人岂能教给他什么智识? 22Can anyone teach God knowledge, since he judges even the highest?
23有人到死一无所缺,享尽了平安幸福。 23One man dies in full vigor, at ease and completely secure;
24他的腰部充满脂肪,他的骨髓润泽丰盈; 24full and nourished is his figure, rich in marrow are his bones.
25但有人却至死心灵酸苦,一生毫无福乐; 25Another dies in bitterness, never having enjoyed happiness.
26他们却一同埋于尘土,为蛆虫所掩盖。 26But in the dust they lie down side by side, covered with worms.
27我确知你们的思想,以及对我所筹划的阴谋。 27I know your thoughts fully and your schemes about me.
28你们要问:「霸王的家在那里?恶人住的帐幕在何处?」 28For you say, "Where is the house of the great prince? Where is the tent of the wicked?"
29你们怎么不问过路的人?难道你们不承认他们的证据? 29Have you never asked the travelers, or have you misunderstood what they say -
30「恶人在毁灭之日不受害,在愤怒之日会得救。」 30that the evil man is spared from calamity, delivered from the day of God's fury?
31他的动作,谁敢当面指摘?他的行为,谁能报复? 31Who will denounce his conduct to his face or pay him back for what he has done?
32他最后被抬入坟墓,且亲自守护自己的墓地。 32When people have carried him to the grave his image watches from his tomb.
33谷中的土壤,他感觉甘美;众人都跟他而去,但在他前面的人,更不可胜数。 33The soft earth is sweet to him; behind him you see everyone follow and before him a countless horde.
34你们为何说空话来安慰我?你们的答话显然只是欺诈! 34How then can you console me with your nonsense? Pure falsehood is all you have said.
