约伯记 16
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
约伯责友之慰藉反增苦恼
16 约伯回答说: 2 “这样的话我听了许多。你们安慰人,反叫人愁烦。 3 虚空的言语有穷尽吗?有什么话惹动你回答呢? 4 我也能说你们那样的话,你们若处在我的境遇,我也会联络言语攻击你们,又能向你们摇头。 5 但我必用口坚固你们,用嘴消解你们的忧愁。
历言其忧苦难堪
6 “我虽说话,忧愁仍不得消解。我虽停住不说,忧愁就离开我吗? 7 但现在神使我困倦,使亲友远离我, 8 又抓住我,做见证攻击我。我身体的枯瘦,也当面见证我的不是。 9 主发怒撕裂我,逼迫我,向我切齿;我的敌人怒目看我。 10 他们向我开口,打我的脸羞辱我,聚会攻击我。 11 神把我交给不敬虔的人,把我扔到恶人的手中。 12 我素来安逸,他折断我,掐住我的颈项,把我摔碎,又立我为他的箭靶子。 13 他的弓箭手四面围绕我,他破裂我的肺腑,并不留情,把我的胆倾倒在地上; 14 将我破裂又破裂,如同勇士向我直闯。 15 我缝麻布在我皮肤上,把我的角放在尘土中。 16 我的脸因哭泣发紫,在我的眼皮上有死荫。 17 我的手中却无强暴,我的祈祷也是清洁。
向神哀诉
18 “地啊,不要遮盖我的血!不要阻挡我的哀求! 19 现今,在天有我的见证,在上有我的中保。 20 我的朋友讥诮我,我却向神眼泪汪汪。 21 愿人得与神辩白,如同人与朋友辩白一样! 22 因为再过几年,我必走那往而不返之路。
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.
