約伯記 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

7 「人生在世豈不像服勞役嗎？
他有生之年豈不像個雇工嗎？
2 他像切望陰涼的奴隸，
又如盼望報酬的雇工。
3 同樣，我註定要度過虛空的歲月，
熬過悲慘的黑夜。
4 我躺在床上，想著何時起來。
長夜漫漫，我輾轉難眠，直到拂曉。
5 我身上佈滿蛆蟲、傷疤，
皮膚破裂，流膿不止。
6 我的年日飛逝，比梭還快，
轉眼結束，毫無盼望。

7 「上帝啊，別忘了我的生命不過是一口氣，
我再也看不見幸福。
8 注視我的眼睛將再也看不見我，
你將尋找我，而我已不復存在。
9 人死後一去不返，
就像煙消雲散；
10 他永不再返回家園，
故土也不再認識他。

11 「因此我不再緘默不語，
我要吐露胸中的悲愁，
傾訴心裡的苦楚。
12 上帝啊，我豈是大海，豈是海怪，
值得你這樣防範我？
13 我以為床鋪是我的安慰，
臥榻可解除我的哀愁，
14 你卻用噩夢驚我，
用異象嚇我，
15 以致我寧願窒息而死，
也不願這樣活著。
16 我厭惡生命，不想永活。
不要管我，因為我的日子都是虛空。

17 「人算什麼，你竟這樣看重他，
這樣關注他？
18 你天天早上察看他，
時時刻刻考驗他。
19 你的視線何時離開我，
給我嚥口唾沫的時間？
20 鑒察世人的主啊，
我若犯了罪，又於你何妨？
為何把我當成你的箭靶？
難道我成了你的重擔？
21 為何不赦免我的過犯，
饒恕我的罪惡？
我很快將歸於塵土，
你將尋找我，
而我已不復存在。」

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

7 “人生在世岂不像服劳役吗？
他有生之年岂不像个雇工吗？
2 他像切望阴凉的奴隶，
又如盼望报酬的雇工。
3 同样，我注定要度过虚空的岁月，
熬过悲惨的黑夜。
4 我躺在床上，想着何时起来。
长夜漫漫，我辗转难眠，直到拂晓。
5 我身上布满蛆虫、伤疤，
皮肤破裂，流脓不止。
6 我的年日飞逝，比梭还快，
转眼结束，毫无盼望。

7 “上帝啊，别忘了我的生命不过是一口气，
我再也看不见幸福。
8 注视我的眼睛将再也看不见我，
你将寻找我，而我已不复存在。
9 人死后一去不返，
就像烟消云散；
10 他永不再返回家园，
故土也不再认识他。

11 “因此我不再缄默不语，
我要吐露胸中的悲愁，
倾诉心里的苦楚。
12 上帝啊，我岂是大海，岂是海怪，
值得你这样防范我？
13 我以为床铺是我的安慰，
卧榻可解除我的哀愁，
14 你却用噩梦惊我，
用异象吓我，
15 以致我宁愿窒息而死，
也不愿这样活着。
16 我厌恶生命，不想永活。
不要管我，因为我的日子都是虚空。

17 “人算什么，你竟这样看重他，
这样关注他？
18 你天天早上察看他，
时时刻刻考验他。
19 你的视线何时离开我，
给我咽口唾沫的时间？
20 鉴察世人的主啊，
我若犯了罪，又于你何妨？
为何把我当成你的箭靶？
难道我成了你的重担？
21 为何不赦免我的过犯，
饶恕我的罪恶？
我很快将归于尘土，
你将寻找我，
而我已不复存在。”

Job 7
Christian Standard Bible

7 Isn’t each person consigned to forced labor(A) on earth?
Are not his days like those of a hired worker?
2 Like a slave he longs for shade;
like a hired worker he waits for his pay.
3 So I have been made to inherit months of futility,
and troubled nights have been assigned to me.(B)
4 When I lie down I think,
“When will I get up?”
But the evening drags on endlessly,
and I toss and turn until dawn.
5 My flesh is clothed with maggots and encrusted with dirt.[a]
My skin forms scabs[b] and then oozes.(C)

6 My days pass more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle;
they come to an end without hope.(D)
7 Remember that my life is but a breath.
My eye will never again see anything good.(E)
8 The eye of anyone who looks on me
will no longer see me.
Your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.(F)
9 As a cloud fades away and vanishes,
so the one who goes down to Sheol(G) will never rise again.
10 He will never return to his house;
his hometown will no longer remember[c] him.(H)

11 Therefore I will not restrain my mouth.
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I the sea[d](I) or a sea monster,(J)
that you keep me under guard?
13 When I say, “My bed will comfort me,
and my couch will ease my complaint,”
14 then you frighten me with dreams,
and terrify me with visions,(K)
15 so that I prefer strangling[e]—
death rather than life in this body.[f](L)
16 I give up! I will not live forever.
Leave me alone,(M) for my days are a breath.[g]

17 What is a mere human, that you think so highly of him
and pay so much attention to him?(N)
18 You inspect him every morning,
and put him to the test every moment.(O)
19 Will you ever look away from me,
or leave me alone long enough to swallow?[h]
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,
Watcher of humanity?
Why have you made me your target,(P)
so that I have become a burden to you?[i]
21 Why not forgive my sin
and pardon my iniquity?(Q)
For soon I will lie down in the grave.(R)
You will eagerly seek me, but I will be gone.(S)

Job 7
New International Version

7 “Do not mortals have hard service(A) on earth?(B)
    Are not their days like those of hired laborers?(C)
2 Like a slave longing for the evening shadows,(D)
    or a hired laborer waiting to be paid,(E)
3 so I have been allotted months of futility,
    and nights of misery have been assigned to me.(F)
4 When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’(G)
    The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.(H)
5 My body is clothed with worms(I) and scabs,
    my skin is broken and festering.(J)

6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,(K)
    and they come to an end without hope.(L)
7 Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath;(M)
    my eyes will never see happiness again.(N)
8 The eye that now sees me will see me no longer;
    you will look for me, but I will be no more.(O)
9 As a cloud vanishes(P) and is gone,
    so one who goes down to the grave(Q) does not return.(R)
10 He will never come to his house again;
    his place(S) will know him no more.(T)

11 “Therefore I will not keep silent;(U)
    I will speak out in the anguish(V) of my spirit,
    I will complain(W) in the bitterness of my soul.(X)
12 Am I the sea,(Y) or the monster of the deep,(Z)
    that you put me under guard?(AA)
13 When I think my bed will comfort me
    and my couch will ease my complaint,(AB)
14 even then you frighten me with dreams
    and terrify(AC) me with visions,(AD)
15 so that I prefer strangling and death,(AE)
    rather than this body of mine.(AF)
16 I despise my life;(AG) I would not live forever.(AH)
    Let me alone;(AI) my days have no meaning.(AJ)

17 “What is mankind that you make so much of them,
    that you give them so much attention,(AK)
18 that you examine them every morning(AL)
    and test them(AM) every moment?(AN)
19 Will you never look away from me,(AO)
    or let me alone even for an instant?(AP)
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,(AQ)
    you who see everything we do?
Why have you made me your target?(AR)
    Have I become a burden to you?[a](AS)
21 Why do you not pardon my offenses
    and forgive my sins?(AT)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(AU)
    you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(AV)
