約伯記 5
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
惡人終難免禍
5 「你且呼求，有誰答應你？諸聖者之中，你轉向那一位呢？ 2 憤怒害死愚妄人，嫉妒殺死痴迷人。 3 我曾見愚妄人扎下根，但我忽然咒詛他的住處。 4 他的兒女遠離穩妥的地步，在城門口被壓，並無人搭救。 5 他的莊稼有飢餓的人吃盡了，就是在荊棘裡的也搶去了，他的財寶有網羅張口吞滅了。 6 禍患原不是從土中出來，患難也不是從地裡發生。 7 人生在世必遇患難，如同火星飛騰。
8 「至於我，我必仰望神，把我的事情託付他。 9 他行大事不可測度，行奇事不可勝數。 10 降雨在地上，賜水於田裡； 11 將卑微的安置在高處，將哀痛的舉到穩妥之地； 12 破壞狡猾人的計謀，使他們所謀的不得成就。 13 他叫有智慧的中了自己的詭計，使狡詐人的計謀速速滅亡。 14 他們白晝遇見黑暗，午間摸索如在夜間。 15 神拯救窮乏人，脫離他們口中的刀和強暴人的手。 16 這樣，貧寒的人有指望，罪孽之輩必塞口無言。
受神懲乃為有福
17 「神所懲治的人是有福的，所以你不可輕看全能者的管教。 18 因為他打破，又纏裹；他擊傷，用手醫治。 19 你六次遭難，他必救你，就是七次，災禍也無法害你。 20 在饑荒中，他必救你脫離死亡；在爭戰中，他必救你脫離刀劍的權力。 21 你必被隱藏，不受口舌之害；災殃臨到，你也不懼怕。 22 你遇見災害饑饉，就必喜笑；地上的野獸，你也不懼怕。 23 因為你必與田間的石頭立約，田裡的野獸也必與你和好。 24 你必知道你帳篷平安，要查看你的羊圈，一無所失。 25 也必知道你的後裔將來發達，你的子孫像地上的青草。 26 你必壽高年邁才歸墳墓，好像禾捆到時收藏。 27 這理我們已經考察，本是如此，你須要聽，要知道是與自己有益。」
Job 5
EasyEnglish Bible
Eliphaz continues to speak to Job
5 ‘Shout for help, Job! But no one will answer you.
None of the angels will come to help you.
2 Foolish people may be angry and jealous.
That is what kills them.
3 I have seen fools who seemed to be successful.
But suddenly a curse destroyed their homes.
4 Their children are never truly safe.
The judge says that they are guilty,
and nobody saves them from punishment.
5 Hungry people take their crops to eat.
They even take them from among the weeds.
Thirsty people take the fool's money for themselves.
6 Problems do not grow like plants in our fields.
Trouble does not come up from the ground.
7 But trouble comes to everyone, as soon as they are born.
It is as certain as smoke that rises from a fire.
8 I suggest that you ask God to help you.
You should tell him about your problems.
9 He does great things that nobody can understand.
He does more miracles than anyone can count.
10 He gives rain for the earth.
He sends water for the fields.
11 He gives honour to humble people.
When people are suffering, he puts them in a safe place.
12 He stops the ideas of clever people.
They cannot do what they want to do.
13 When wise people try to do clever things,
he causes those things to give them trouble.
He quickly stops their clever ideas.
14 In the middle of the day, it becomes dark for those people.
At midday, they see no better than blind people.
15 He saves poor people when wicked people attack them.
He rescues weak people from the power of strong people.
16 So poor people can hope for justice.
Wicked people have to be quiet.
17 If Almighty God warns you to do what is right,
he has blessed you.
So do not be upset when he decides to do that.
18 He may cause you to have pain,
but he will make you well again.
He may hurt you,
but he will also give you health.
19 If trouble comes to you six times, he will rescue you.
No bad thing will hurt you, as often as it happens.
20 If there is a time of famine,
he will keep you alive.
He will protect you from death in a time of war.
21 If people insult you, he will take care of you.
When people attack you, you will not be afraid.
22 In times of danger and famine, you will be brave.
You will not be afraid of wild animals.
23 The stones in your fields will not give you trouble.
The wild animals will not attack you.
24 You will know that your home is strong and safe.
When you check all your land,
you will see that all your animals are safe.
25 You will know that your children will be very many.
You will have as many descendants as the grass that grows in the ground.
26 You will not die until you are old.
You will grow with strength until you die,
like crops that grow until the time of harvest.
27 We have thought carefully about these things.
We know that they are true.
So listen to what we say.
Accept it and it will be good for you.’
Job 5
King James Version
5 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
