约伯记 16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约伯的回答
16 约伯回答说：
2 “这些话，我听过很多，
你们安慰人，反让人愁烦。
3 你们的空谈无休无止吗？
是什么惹你们说个不停？
4 倘若你我易地而处，
我也能说你们那样的话，
滔滔不绝地攻击你们，
向你们摇头。
5 我会对你们讲鼓励的话，
用劝慰之言减轻你们的痛苦。
6 “我若申辩，痛苦不减；
我若缄默，痛苦犹在。
7 上帝啊，你使我精疲力竭，
家破人亡，
8 你榨干了我，
使我骨瘦如柴，
这成了我的罪证。
9 上帝在愤怒中撕裂我，迫害我，
向我咬牙切齿；
仇敌恶狠狠地盯着我。
10 他们嘲笑我，
轻蔑地掴我的脸，
联合起来攻击我。
11 上帝把我交给罪人，
把我扔到恶人手中。
12 我本来平顺，祂击垮了我，
祂抓住我的颈项将我摔碎，
把我当祂的箭靶。
13 祂的弓箭手四面围住我，
祂毫不留情地刺透我的肾脏，
使我肝胆涂地。
14 祂一次次地击伤我，
像勇士一样扑向我。
15 我缝制麻衣，披在身上，
把我的荣耀埋在尘土中。
16 我哭得脸颊红肿，
眼皮发黑。
17 但我未行残暴之事，
我的祷告纯真。
18 “大地啊！不要掩盖我的血，
不要拦阻我的呼求。
19 此时，我的见证人在天上，
我的辩护者在高天上。
20 我的朋友讥笑我，
我在上帝面前流泪。
21 但愿人与上帝之间有仲裁者，
如同人与人之间。
22 因为我的年日不多，
我快要踏上不归路。
Job 16
New King James Version
Job Reproaches His Pitiless Friends
16 Then Job answered and said:
2 “I have heard many such things;
(A)Miserable[a] comforters are you all!
3 Shall [b]words of wind have an end?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I also could speak as you do,
If your soul were in my soul’s place.
I could heap up words against you,
And (B)shake my head at you;
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.
6 “Though I speak, my grief is not relieved;
And if I remain silent, how am I eased?
7 But now He has (C)worn me out;
You (D)have made desolate all my company.
8 You have shriveled me up,
And it is a (E)witness against me;
My leanness rises up against me
And bears witness to my face.
9 (F)He tears me in His wrath, and hates me;
He gnashes at me with His teeth;
(G)My adversary sharpens His gaze on me.
10 They (H)gape at me with their mouth,
They (I)strike me reproachfully on the cheek,
They gather together against me.
11 God (J)has delivered me to the ungodly,
And turned me over to the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but He has (K)shattered me;
He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces;
He has (L)set me up for His target,
13 His archers surround me.
He pierces my [c]heart and does not pity;
He pours out my gall on the ground.
14 He breaks me with wound upon wound;
He runs at me like a [d]warrior.
15 “I have sewn sackcloth over my skin,
And (M)laid my [e]head in the dust.
16 My face is [f]flushed from weeping,
And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17 Although no violence is in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.
18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,
And (N)let my cry have no resting place!
19 Surely even now (O)my witness is in heaven,
And my evidence is on high.
20 My friends scorn me;
My eyes pour out tears to God.
21 (P)Oh, that one might plead for a man with God,
As a man pleads for his [g]neighbor!
22 For when a few years are finished,
I shall (Q)go the way of no return.
Job 16
English Standard Version
Job Replies: Miserable Comforters Are You
16 Then Job answered and said:
2 “I have heard (A)many such things;
(B)miserable comforters are you all.
3 Shall (C)windy words have an end?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I also could speak as you do,
if you were in my place;
I could join words together against you
and (D)shake my head at you.
5 I could strengthen you with my mouth,
and the solace of my lips would assuage your pain.
6 “If I speak, my pain is not assuaged,
and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?
7 Surely now God has worn me out;
(E)he has[a] made desolate all my company.
8 And he has shriveled me up,
which is (F)a witness against me,
and my (G)leanness has risen up against me;
it testifies to my face.
9 He has (H)torn me in his wrath (I)and hated me;
he has (J)gnashed his teeth at me;
my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.
10 Men have (K)gaped at me with their mouth;
they have (L)struck me insolently on the cheek;
they (M)mass themselves together against me.
11 God gives me up to the ungodly
and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart;
he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces;
he set me up as his (N)target;
13 his (O)archers surround me.
He slashes open my kidneys (P)and does not spare;
he (Q)pours out my gall on the ground.
14 He breaks me with (R)breach upon breach;
he (S)runs upon me like a warrior.
15 I have sewed (T)sackcloth upon my skin
and have laid (U)my strength (V)in the dust.
16 My face is red with weeping,
and on my eyelids is (W)deep darkness,
17 although there is no (X)violence in my hands,
and my prayer is pure.
18 “O earth, (Y)cover not my blood,
and let my (Z)cry find no resting place.
19 Even now, behold, my (AA)witness is in heaven,
and he who testifies for me is (AB)on high.
20 My friends (AC)scorn me;
my eye pours out tears to God,
21 that he would (AD)argue the case of a man with God,
as[b] a son of man does with his neighbor.
22 For when a few years have come
I shall go the way (AE)from which I shall not return.
