約伯記 27
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
27 約伯接著說:
2 「我憑不給我公道的永恆上帝,
憑使我靈魂陷入痛苦的全能者起誓,
3 只要我一息尚存,
鼻中還有上帝之氣,
4 我的嘴唇決不說惡語,
舌頭決不講謊話。
5 我決不承認你們有理,
我至死堅信自己無辜。
6 我堅守自己的公義,決不放棄,
我有生之年都問心無愧。
7 「願我仇敵的下場和惡人一樣,
願我對頭的結局和罪人相同。
8 因為不敬虔的人將被剷除,上帝將奪去他的性命。
那時,他還有何指望?
9 患難臨到他時,
上帝豈會垂聽他的呼求?
10 他豈會以全能者為樂,
時時求告上帝?
11 「我要教導你們有關上帝的能力,
我不會隱瞞全能者的作為。
12 其實你們也曾親眼目睹,
為何還講這些虛妄之言?
13 「以下是上帝給惡人定的結局,
全能者賜給殘暴之徒的歸宿。
14 他的兒女再多也難逃殺戮,
他的子孫永遠吃不飽。
15 他倖存的後人被瘟疫吞噬,
生還的寡婦也不哀哭。
16 儘管他堆積的銀子多如塵沙,
儲存的衣服高若土堆,
17 但義人將穿他儲存的衣服,
清白的人將分他堆積的銀子。
18 他建的房子像蛾繭,
像守望者搭的草棚。
19 他睡前還是富翁,
醒來後財富已空。
20 恐懼如洪水般淹沒他,
暴風在夜間把他捲去。
21 東風把他颳走,
吹得無影無蹤。
22 狂風[a]毫不留情地擊打他,
他拼命地逃離風的威力。
23 狂風向他拍掌,
呼嘯著吹走他。

Job 27
New International Version
Job’s Final Word to His Friends
27 And Job continued his discourse:(A)
2 “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice,(B)
the Almighty,(C) who has made my life bitter,(D)
3 as long as I have life within me,
the breath of God(E) in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not say anything wicked,
and my tongue will not utter lies.(F)
5 I will never admit you are in the right;
till I die, I will not deny my integrity.(G)
6 I will maintain my innocence(H) and never let go of it;
my conscience(I) will not reproach me as long as I live.(J)
7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,(K)
my adversary(L) like the unjust!
8 For what hope have the godless(M) when they are cut off,
when God takes away their life?(N)
9 Does God listen to their cry
when distress comes upon them?(O)
10 Will they find delight in the Almighty?(P)
Will they call on God at all times?
11 “I will teach you about the power of God;
the ways(Q) of the Almighty I will not conceal.(R)
12 You have all seen this yourselves.
Why then this meaningless talk?
13 “Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,
the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:(S)
14 However many his children,(T) their fate is the sword;(U)
his offspring will never have enough to eat.(V)
15 The plague will bury those who survive him,
and their widows will not weep for them.(W)
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust(X)
and clothes like piles of clay,(Y)
17 what he lays up(Z) the righteous will wear,(AA)
and the innocent will divide his silver.(AB)
18 The house(AC) he builds is like a moth’s cocoon,(AD)
like a hut(AE) made by a watchman.
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;(AF)
when he opens his eyes, all is gone.(AG)
20 Terrors(AH) overtake him like a flood;(AI)
a tempest snatches him away in the night.(AJ)
21 The east wind(AK) carries him off, and he is gone;(AL)
it sweeps him out of his place.(AM)
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy(AN)
as he flees headlong(AO) from its power.(AP)
23 It claps its hands(AQ) in derision
and hisses him out of his place.”(AR)
Job 27
New King James Version
Job Maintains His Integrity
27 Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:
2 “As God lives, (A)who has taken away my justice,
And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
3 As long as my breath is in me,
And the breath of God in my nostrils,
4 My lips will not speak wickedness,
Nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 Far be it from me
That I should say you are right;
Till I die (B)I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I (C)hold fast, and will not let it go;
(D)My heart shall not [a]reproach me as long as I live.
7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,
And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
8 (E)For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
Though he may gain much,
If God takes away his life?
9 (F)Will God hear his cry
When trouble comes upon him?
10 (G)Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call on God?
11 “I will teach you [b]about the hand of God;
What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 Surely all of you have seen it;
Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?
13 “This(H) is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:
14 (I)If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
And (J)their[c] widows shall not weep,
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
17 He may pile it up, but (K)the just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his house like a [d]moth,
(L)Like a [e]booth which a watchman makes.
19 The rich man will lie down,
[f]But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is (M)no more.
20 (N)Terrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night.
21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;
It sweeps him out of his place.
22 It hurls against him and does not (O)spare;
He flees desperately from its [g]power.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him,
And shall hiss him out of his place.
