約伯記 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
約伯自述無辜
6 約伯回答說：
2 「要是能秤量我的苦難，
把我的災殃放在秤上，
3 那將比海沙還重；
所以我言語魯莽。
4 因為全能者的箭射中我，
箭毒侵蝕我的靈，
祂使恐懼列隊襲來。
5 野驢有草豈會叫喚？
牛有飼料豈會哞叫？
6 淡食無鹽豈可下嚥？
蛋白有什麼滋味呢？
7 我碰都不想碰，
它們令我噁心。
8 唯願我的祈求蒙應允，
願上帝成全我的冀望，
9 願祂壓碎我，
伸手毀滅我。
10 這樣，我還能感到欣慰，
在殘酷的痛苦中雀躍，
因我沒有違背聖者之言。
11 我有何力量可以支撐下去？
有何前景讓我忍耐下去？
12 我的力量豈能堅如石？
我豈是銅造之軀？
13 我毫無自救之力，
已到窮途末路。
14 「即使絕望者拋棄對上帝的敬畏，
也應該得到朋友的恩待。
15 我的弟兄難以信賴，如同季節河，
又像變化無常的河道——
16 結冰後顏色發黑，
融雪後水流漲溢；
17 水流在乾季時消失，
河床在烈日下乾涸。
18 商隊偏離原路來找水喝，
結果在荒漠中死去。
19 提瑪的商隊來找水喝，
示巴的旅客指望解渴，
20 結果希望化為泡影，
到了那裡大失所望。
21 同樣，你們幫不了我，
你們看見災禍便害怕。
22 我何嘗對你們說過，
『請你們供應我，
把你們的財產給我一份，
23 從仇敵手中拯救我，
從殘暴之徒手中救贖我』？
24 「請多賜教，我會閉口不言；
請指出我錯在何處。
25 忠言何等逆耳！
但你們的指責有何根據？
26 你們既視絕望者的話如風，
還要來糾正嗎？
27 你們甚至抽籤得孤兒，
把朋友當貨物賣掉。
28 懇請你們看著我，
我在你們面前撒過謊嗎？
29 請以仁慈為懷，公正一點；
請以仁慈為懷，因我誠實無過。
30 我豈會說詭詐之言？
我豈會是非不辨？
约伯记 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約伯自述苦況
6 於是約伯回答說：
2 “但願稱稱我的煩惱，
把我的災害一起放在天平上。
3 現在這些都比海沙更重，
所以我冒失發言。
4 因為全能者的箭射中我，
我的靈喝盡了箭的毒液，
神的驚嚇排陣攻擊我。
5 野驢有草料還會哀鳴嗎？
牛有飼料還會窮叫嗎？
6 淡而無鹽的食物有甚麼好吃呢？
蛋白有甚麼味道呢？
7 這些使我惡心的食物，
我必不肯嘗。
切願被 神剪除
8 但願我得著我所祈求的，
願 神賜我所盼望的。
9 願他樂意把我壓碎，
願他放手把我剪除。
10 這樣，我們得安慰，
在無情的痛苦之中我還可以歡躍，
因為我沒有否認那聖者的言語。
11 我有甚麼力量使我能等候呢？
我的結局是甚麼好叫我忍耐呢？
12 我的氣力是石頭一樣嗎？
我的肉身是銅的嗎？
13 我裡面不是無能自助嗎？
見識不是離我而去嗎？
責友缺乏愛心
14 朋友應該憐憫灰心的人，
因為他捨棄了對全能者的敬畏。
15 我的兄弟詭詐像乾涸的溪流，
又像流乾的溪水；
16 水流因冰塊融化而混濁，
有雪隱藏在其中。
17 天氣一暖溪水就消失，
氣候一熱就乾涸。
18 商隊順溪而行，結果偏離原道，
走到荒野之地而死亡。
19 提瑪的商隊瞻望溪水，
示巴的客旅等候水流。
20 他們失望，因為所盼望的落了空；
他們到達那裡就灰心。
21 現在你們就是這樣，
看見我的災難就害怕。
22 難道我說過‘請供給我’，
或說‘取你們的財物餽贈我’嗎？
23 或我說過‘救我脫離敵人的手’，
或說‘贖我脫離強暴人的手’嗎？
勸友說話公平
24 請指教，我就默不作聲；
請指示，我有甚麼過錯。
25 正直的言語多麼有力！
但你們的責備究竟責備甚麼呢？
26 絕望人的話不過是風，
你們還想批判嗎？
27 你們竟抽籤得孤兒，
拿朋友當貨物。
28 現在請你們看看我，
我絕不當你們的面撒謊。
29 請轉意，不要不公道；
請再轉意，我還有道理在。
30 我的舌上有不義嗎？
我的口不能辨別災害嗎？”
Job 6
King James Version
6 But Job answered and said,
2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
Job 6
New King James Version
Job: My Complaint Is Just
6 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Oh, that my grief were fully weighed,
And my calamity laid with it on the scales!
3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea—
Therefore my words have been rash.
4 (A)For the arrows of the Almighty are within me;
My spirit drinks in their poison;
(B)The terrors of God are arrayed (C)against me.
5 Does the (D)wild donkey bray when it has grass,
Or does the ox low over its fodder?
6 Can flavorless food be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 My soul refuses to touch them;
They are as loathsome food to me.
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
That God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 That it would please God to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and (E)cut me off!
10 Then I would still have comfort;
Though in anguish I would exult,
He will not spare;
For (F)I have not concealed the words of (G)the Holy One.
11 “What strength do I have, that I should hope?
And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh bronze?
13 Is my help not within me?
And is success driven from me?
14 “To(H) him who is [a]afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 (I)My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook,
(J)Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,
16 Which are dark because of the ice,
And into which the snow vanishes.
17 When it is warm, they cease to flow;
When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The paths of their way turn aside,
They go nowhere and perish.
19 The caravans of (K)Tema look,
The travelers of (L)Sheba hope for them.
20 They are (M)disappointed[b] because they were confident;
They come there and are confused.
21 For now (N)you are nothing,
You see terror and (O)are afraid.
22 Did I ever say, ‘Bring something to me’?
Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?
23 Or, ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of oppressors’?
24 “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue;
Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How forceful are right words!
But what does your arguing prove?
26 Do you intend to rebuke my words,
And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?
27 Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless,
And you (P)undermine your friend.
28 Now therefore, be pleased to look at me;
For I would never lie to your face.
29 (Q)Yield now, let there be no injustice!
Yes, concede, my (R)righteousness [c]still stands!
30 Is there injustice on my tongue?
Cannot my [d]taste discern the unsavory?
