約伯記 17
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
17 「我的心靈破碎，我的年日將盡，
墳墓等候著我。
2 無疑，嘲笑的人圍著我，
我眼睜睜地看著他們戲弄我。
3 上帝啊，求你為我作保。
除你以外，誰肯做我的保人？
4 你蒙蔽了他們的心智，
因此你必不讓他們得勝。
5 人為了分產業而控告朋友，
其子孫的眼睛要失明。
6 上帝使我成了人們的笑柄，
他們在我臉上吐唾沫。
7 哀傷使我眼目昏花，
我整個人骨瘦如柴。
8 這使正直的人震驚，
使無辜的人起來討伐不敬虔的人。
9 義人堅守自己的道，
手潔的人力量倍增。
10 來吧，你們眾人再來，
我在你們中間不會找到一個智者。
11 我的年日已盡，
我的計劃破滅，
我的心願落空。
12 他們說黑夜是白晝，
聲稱黑暗就是光明。
13 我若期望陰間作我的家園，
在黑暗之地鋪設我的床榻，
14 稱墳墓為父親，
稱蛆蟲為母親、姊妹，
15 那麼，我的希望在哪裡？
誰能看到我的希望？
16 我的希望會跟我進入陰間，
與我同歸塵土嗎？」
Giobbe 17
Nuova Riveduta 1994
17 «Il mio soffio vitale si spegne,
i miei giorni si estinguono,
il sepolcro m'aspetta!
2 Sono attorniato da schernitori
e non posso chiudere occhio a causa delle loro parole amare.
3 O Dio, deposita la mia cauzione
presso di te;
se no, chi altro vorrebbe porgermi
la mano?
4 Poiché tu hai chiuso il cuore di
costoro alla ragione,
perciò non li farai trionfare.
5 Chi denunzia un amico perché
diventi preda altrui,
vedrà accecare gli occhi dei suoi figli.
6 Egli mi ha reso la favola dei popoli,
e sono divenuto uno a cui si sputa
in faccia.
7 L'occhio mio si oscura dal dolore,
le mie membra non sono piú
che un'ombra.
8 Gli uomini retti ne sono colpiti
di stupore,
l'innocente si sdegna contro l'empio;
9 ma il giusto si attiene saldo alla sua via,
e chi ha le mani pure si fortifica sempre piú.
10 (A)Quanto a voi tutti, tornate pure,
fatevi avanti,
ma fra voi non troverò un saggio.
11 I miei giorni passano; i miei disegni,
i disegni cari al mio cuore, sono
distrutti;
12 e costoro pretendono che la notte sia giorno,
che la luce sia vicina, quando tutto
è buio!
13 Se aspetto come casa mia il
*soggiorno dei morti,
se già mi sono fatto il letto nelle
tenebre,
14 al sepolcro dico: “Tu sei mio padre”,
e ai vermi: “Siete mia madre e mia
sorella”.
15 Dov'è dunque la mia speranza?
Questa speranza mia chi la può
scorgere?
16 Essa scenderà alle porte del
soggiorno dei morti,
quando nella polvere troveremo riposo assieme».
Job 17
King James Version
17 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
Job 17
New King James Version
Job Prays for Relief
17 “My spirit is broken,
My days are extinguished,
(A)The grave is ready for me.
2 Are not mockers with me?
And does not my eye [a]dwell on their (B)provocation?
3 “Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself.
Who is he who (C)will shake hands with me?
4 For You have hidden their heart from (D)understanding;
Therefore You will not exalt them.
5 He who speaks flattery to his friends,
Even the eyes of his children will (E)fail.
6 “But He has made me (F)a byword of the people,
And I have become one in whose face men spit.
7 (G)My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow,
And all my members are like shadows.
8 Upright men are astonished at this,
And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.
9 Yet the righteous will hold to his (H)way,
And he who has (I)clean hands will be stronger and stronger.
10 “But please, (J)come back again, [b]all of you,
For I shall not find one wise man among you.
11 (K)My days are past,
My purposes are broken off,
Even the [c]thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day;
‘The light is near,’ they say, in the face of darkness.
13 If I wait for the grave as my house,
If I make my bed in the darkness,
14 If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’
15 Where then is my (L)hope?
As for my hope, who can see it?
16 Will they go down (M)to the gates of [d]Sheol?
Shall we have (N)rest together in the dust?”
