約伯記 2:11-3:26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
約伯的三個朋友
11 約伯的三個朋友提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達和拿瑪人瑣法聽到他的不幸遭遇,便各自從家鄉動身,相約一起來探望、安慰他。 12 他們遠遠地看見約伯,幾乎認不出是他,禁不住放聲大哭,各自撕裂外袍,揚起塵土,讓土落在頭上。 13 他們看到約伯極其痛苦,就陪著他在地上坐了七天七夜,沒有對他說一句話。
約伯咒詛自己
3 後來,約伯開口咒詛自己的生日, 2 說:
3 「願我出生的那日和懷我的那夜滅沒。
4 願那日一片黑暗,
被天上的上帝遺忘,
沒有陽光照耀。
5 願那日被黑暗和陰影籠罩,
被密雲覆蓋,
被陰暗淹沒。
6 願那夜被幽暗吞噬,
不列在年日中,
不算在歲月裡。
7 願那夜無人生育,
毫無快樂之聲。
8 願那些咒詛白日、
能惹動海怪的人,
咒詛那夜。
9 願那夜的晨星昏暗,
等不到晨光的出現,
看不見黎明的眼簾。
10 因為那夜沒有關閉我母胎的門,
以致讓我看見患難。
11 「為何我不出生時就夭折,
出母胎時就斷氣?
12 為何要把我抱在膝上,
用乳汁哺育我?
13 不然我早已安然躺臥、長眠安息,
14 與世上的君王和謀臣作伴——他們建造的宮殿已荒廢,
15 與房屋堆滿金銀的王侯同眠。
16 為何我沒有像未見天日就流產的嬰兒一樣消逝?
17 那裡,惡人不再攪擾,
疲憊者得到安息,
18 被囚者得到安寧,
聽不見監工的斥責。
19 尊貴與卑賤的人都在那裡,
奴僕不再受主人的轄制。
20 「為何賜光給受苦的人,
賜生命給心靈痛苦的人?
21 他們等候死亡卻等不到,
他們求死勝於求寶藏。
22 他們歸入墳墓時非常快樂,
欣喜若狂。
23 為何賜生命給前路渺茫、
被上帝圍困的人?
24 我以歎息為食,
呻吟如水湧流。
25 我害怕的事發生了,
我恐懼的事來臨了。
26 我不得安寧,
不得平靜,
不得安息,
只有苦難。」
约伯记 2:11-3:26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约伯的三个朋友
11 约伯的三个朋友提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达和拿玛人琐法听到他的不幸遭遇,便各自从家乡动身,相约一起来探望、安慰他。 12 他们远远地看见约伯,几乎认不出是他,禁不住放声大哭,各自撕裂外袍,扬起尘土,让土落在头上。 13 他们看到约伯极其痛苦,就陪着他在地上坐了七天七夜,没有对他说一句话。
约伯咒诅自己
3 后来,约伯开口咒诅自己的生日, 2 说:
3 “愿我出生的那日和怀我的那夜灭没。
4 愿那日一片黑暗,
被天上的上帝遗忘,
没有阳光照耀。
5 愿那日被黑暗和阴影笼罩,
被密云覆盖,
被阴暗淹没。
6 愿那夜被幽暗吞噬,
不列在年日中,
不算在岁月里。
7 愿那夜无人生育,
毫无快乐之声。
8 愿那些咒诅白日、
能惹动海怪的人,
咒诅那夜。
9 愿那夜的晨星昏暗,
等不到晨光的出现,
看不见黎明的眼帘。
10 因为那夜没有关闭我母胎的门,
以致让我看见患难。
11 “为何我不出生时就夭折,
出母胎时就断气?
12 为何要把我抱在膝上,
用乳汁哺育我?
13 不然我早已安然躺卧、长眠安息,
14 与世上的君王和谋臣作伴——他们建造的宫殿已荒废,
15 与房屋堆满金银的王侯同眠。
16 为何我没有像未见天日就流产的婴儿一样消逝?
17 那里,恶人不再搅扰,
疲惫者得到安息,
18 被囚者得到安宁,
听不见监工的斥责。
19 尊贵与卑贱的人都在那里,
奴仆不再受主人的辖制。
20 “为何赐光给受苦的人,
赐生命给心灵痛苦的人?
21 他们等候死亡却等不到,
他们求死胜于求宝藏。
22 他们归入坟墓时非常快乐,
欣喜若狂。
23 为何赐生命给前路渺茫、
被上帝围困的人?
24 我以叹息为食,
呻吟如水涌流。
25 我害怕的事发生了,
我恐惧的事来临了。
26 我不得安宁,
不得平静,
不得安息,
只有苦难。”
Job 2:11-3:26
New International Version
11 When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite,(A) Bildad the Shuhite(B) and Zophar the Naamathite,(C) heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.(D) 12 When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him;(E) they began to weep aloud,(F) and they tore their robes(G) and sprinkled dust on their heads.(H) 13 Then they sat on the ground(I) with him for seven days and seven nights.(J) No one said a word to him,(K) because they saw how great his suffering was.
Job Speaks
3 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.(L) 2 He said:
3 “May the day of my birth perish,
and the night that said, ‘A boy is conceived!’(M)
4 That day—may it turn to darkness;
may God above not care about it;
may no light shine on it.
5 May gloom and utter darkness(N) claim it once more;
may a cloud settle over it;
may blackness overwhelm it.
6 That night—may thick darkness(O) seize it;
may it not be included among the days of the year
nor be entered in any of the months.
7 May that night be barren;
may no shout of joy(P) be heard in it.
8 May those who curse days[a] curse that day,(Q)
those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.(R)
9 May its morning stars become dark;
may it wait for daylight in vain
and not see the first rays of dawn,(S)
10 for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me
to hide trouble from my eyes.
11 “Why did I not perish at birth,
and die as I came from the womb?(T)
12 Why were there knees to receive me(U)
and breasts that I might be nursed?
13 For now I would be lying down(V) in peace;
I would be asleep and at rest(W)
14 with kings and rulers of the earth,(X)
who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,(Y)
15 with princes(Z) who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.(AA)
16 Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child,(AB)
like an infant who never saw the light of day?(AC)
17 There the wicked cease from turmoil,(AD)
and there the weary are at rest.(AE)
18 Captives(AF) also enjoy their ease;
they no longer hear the slave driver’s(AG) shout.(AH)
19 The small and the great are there,(AI)
and the slaves are freed from their owners.
20 “Why is light given to those in misery,
and life to the bitter of soul,(AJ)
21 to those who long for death that does not come,(AK)
who search for it more than for hidden treasure,(AL)
22 who are filled with gladness
and rejoice when they reach the grave?(AM)
23 Why is life given to a man
whose way is hidden,(AN)
whom God has hedged in?(AO)
24 For sighing(AP) has become my daily food;(AQ)
my groans(AR) pour out like water.(AS)
25 What I feared has come upon me;
what I dreaded(AT) has happened to me.(AU)
26 I have no peace,(AV) no quietness;
I have no rest,(AW) but only turmoil.”(AX)
