約伯記 19
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
約伯的回答
19 約伯回答說：
2 「你們要折磨我多久？
用言語壓碎我到何時？
3 你們侮辱我已有十次之多，
苦待我也不以為恥。
4 即使我真有過錯，
也由我獨自承擔。
5 你們若真要妄自尊大，
利用我的恥辱來指責我，
6 也該知道是上帝冤枉了我，
用網羅套住我。
7 我喊冤，卻無人回應；
我呼救，卻不見公道。
8 上帝築起牆壘，阻斷我的路，
祂使黑暗籠罩我的路途。
9 祂剝去我的榮耀，
摘走我頭上的冠冕。
10 祂從四面攻擊我，直到我消逝；
祂把我的希望像樹一樣連根拔除。
11 祂向我發烈怒，
視我為仇敵。
12 祂的大軍蜂擁而來，
在我帳篷四周紮營，
將我團團圍住。
13 「祂使我的弟兄遠離我，
我的熟人完全背棄我。
14 我的親屬離開我，
我的摯友忘記我。
15 我的客人和婢女都視我如陌路，
把我當作外族人。
16 我呼喚僕人，他卻不回應；
我哀求他，他也不理睬。
17 我妻子厭惡我的氣息，
我的手足都嫌棄我。
18 連小孩子都鄙視我；
我一出現，他們就嘲笑我。
19 我的密友都憎惡我，
我愛的人也反對我。
20 我瘦得只剩下皮包骨，
我離死亡僅一線之隔[a]。
21 「我的朋友啊，可憐我吧！可憐我吧！
因為上帝的手擊打我。
22 你們為何像上帝一樣逼我？
為何吃了我的肉還不滿足？
23 但願把我的話寫下來，
記錄在書卷上，
24 用鐵筆和鉛鐫刻在磐石上，
直存到永遠。
25 我知道我的救贖主活著，
最後祂必站在地上。
26 我的皮肉雖然要朽爛，
但我必活著[b]見上帝。
27 我要親自見祂，
我要親眼見祂。
我心中充滿渴望！
28 你們說禍根在我身上，
還想繼續迫害我。
29 你們自己應當畏懼刀劍，
因為烈怒會帶來刀劍的懲罰，
那時你們將知道有審判。」
Job 19
King James Version
19 Then Job answered and said,
2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
