约伯记 14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
力言人生是短暫且可悲
14 “婦人所生的日子短少，滿有攪擾；
2 他生長如花，又遭割下；
他飛去如影，並不停留。
3 這樣的人你還睜眼看他，
又把他帶到你跟前受審嗎？
4 誰能使潔淨出於污穢呢？
無人有此本事。
5 人的日子既然被限定，
他的月數亦在乎你，
你也定下他的界限，使他不能越過。
6 就求你轉眼不看他，使他得歇息（“使他得歇息”或譯：“不去管他”），
直等到他像雇工一樣享受他的日子。
7 樹木常有希望，
樹木若被砍下，也會再發芽，
嫩枝仍生長不息。
8 雖然樹根衰老在地裡，
樹幹也枯死在土中，
9 一有水氣，就會萌芽，
又生長枝條如新栽的樹一樣。
10 人死了，就化為烏有；
人一氣絕就不在了。
11 海洋中的水消失，
江河枯竭乾涸，
12 人也是這樣一躺下去，就不再起來，
直到天都沒有了還不醒過來，
也不能從睡眠中被喚醒。
13 但願你把我藏在陰間，
把我隱藏，直到你的怒氣過去；
願你為我定一個期限，好記念我。
14 人若死了，怎能再活呢？
我要在我一切勞苦的日子等待，
等到我得釋放的時候來到。
15 你一呼叫，我就回答你，
你必渴慕你手所作的。
16 但現在你數點我的腳步，
必不再鑒察我的罪過，
17 我的過犯被你封在囊中，
我的罪孽你以灰泥遮蓋了。
18 山崩下墜，
巖石挪開原處；
19 流水磨蝕石頭，
水的氾溢沖去地上的塵土，
你也這樣滅絕人的指望。
20 你永遠勝過人，人就去世，
你改變他的容貌，把他遣走。
21 他的兒女得尊榮，他並不曉得，
他們降為卑，他也不覺得，
22 只覺自己身上的痛苦，
為自己悲哀。”
Job 14
New King James Version
Job Speaks of Life’s Woes
14 “Man who is born of woman
Is of few days and (A)full of [a]trouble.
2 (B)He comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
3 And (C)do You open Your eyes on such a one,
And (D)bring [b]me to judgment with Yourself?
4 Who (E)can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one!
5 (F)Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
6 (G)Look away from him that he may [c]rest,
Till (H)like a hired man he finishes his day.
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.
10 But man dies and [d]is laid away;
Indeed he [e]breathes his last
And where is (I)he?
11 As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,
12 So man lies down and does not rise.
(J)Till the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep.
13 “Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,
That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service (K)I will wait,
Till my change comes.
15 (L)You shall call, and I will answer You;
You shall desire the work of Your hands.
16 For now (M)You number my steps,
But do not watch over my sin.
17 (N)My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
And You [f]cover my iniquity.
18 “But as a mountain falls and crumbles away,
And as a rock is moved from its place;
19 As water wears away stones,
And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
So You destroy the hope of man.
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;
You change his countenance and send him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and (O)he does not know it;
They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.
22 But his flesh will be in pain over it,
And his soul will mourn over it.”
