约伯记 24
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
言善人恶人死亡无异
24 “全能者既定期罚恶,为何不使认识他的人看见那日子呢? 2 有人挪移地界,抢夺群畜而牧养。 3 他们拉去孤儿的驴,强取寡妇的牛为当头。 4 他们使穷人离开正道,世上的贫民尽都隐藏。 5 这些贫穷人,如同野驴出到旷野,殷勤寻找食物。他们靠着野地给儿女糊口, 6 收割别人田间的禾稼,摘取恶人余剩的葡萄。 7 终夜赤身无衣,天气寒冷毫无遮盖, 8 在山上被大雨淋湿,因没有避身之处就挨近磐石。 9 又有人从母怀中抢夺孤儿,强取穷人的衣服为当头, 10 使人赤身无衣到处流行,且因饥饿扛抬禾捆, 11 在那些人的围墙内造油,榨酒自己还口渴。 12 在多民的城内有人唉哼,受伤的人哀号,神却不理会那恶人的愚妄。
13 “又有人背弃光明,不认识光明的道,不住在光明的路上。 14 杀人的黎明起来,杀害困苦穷乏人,夜间又做盗贼。 15 奸夫等候黄昏,说:‘必无眼能见我’,就把脸蒙蔽。 16 盗贼黑夜挖窟窿,白日躲藏,并不认识光明。 17 他们看早晨如幽暗,因为他们晓得幽暗的惊骇。
18 “这些恶人犹如浮萍快快飘去,他们所得的份在世上被咒诅,他们不得再走葡萄园的路。 19 干旱炎热消没雪水,阴间也如此消没犯罪之辈。 20 怀他的母[a]要忘记他,虫子要吃他觉得甘甜;他不再被人记念,不义的人必如树折断。 21 他恶待[b]不怀孕不生养的妇人,不善待寡妇。 22 然而神用能力保全有势力的人,那性命难保的人仍然兴起。 23 神使他们安稳,他们就有所倚靠,神的眼目也看顾他们的道路。 24 他们被高举,不过片时就没有了;他们降为卑,被除灭,与众人一样,又如谷穗被割。 25 若不是这样,谁能证实我是说谎的,将我的言语驳为虚空呢?”
约伯记 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
24 “全能者为何不定下审判的日期?
为何信靠祂的人要空等一场?
2 恶人挪移界石,
抢夺羊群去牧养。
3 他们牵走孤儿的驴,
强取寡妇的牛作抵押。
4 他们把贫民赶离正路,
地上的穷人被迫东躲西藏。
5 贫穷的人如荒漠中的野驴,
殷勤觅食,给儿女糊口。
6 他们割田间的草料,
摘恶人剩余的葡萄。
7 他们整夜赤身露体,
没有被子可以御寒。
8 他们被山雨浇透,
只能在岩石下栖身。
9 恶人夺去寡母怀中的孤儿,
强取穷人的孩子作抵押,
10 使他们赤身露体地流浪,
饿着肚子扛禾捆。
11 他们在恶人的橄榄林中榨油,
口干舌燥地在酒池踩踏。
12 城中传来垂死之人的呻吟,
受伤者不断呼救,
上帝却置之不理。
13 “有人与光明为敌,
不认识光明之道,
也不走光明之路。
14 凶手黎明起来,
杀害贫苦的人,
夜晚又去做贼。
15 奸夫的眼睛盼着黄昏,
心想,‘没人会看见我’,
并把脸蒙起来。
16 盗贼夜间挖墙行窃,
日间躲藏起来,
不想认识光明。
17 他们以昼作夜,
熟知黑夜的恐怖。
18 “恶人如水上的泡沫。
他们的产业遭咒诅,
他们的葡萄园荒芜。
19 阴间吞噬犯罪之人,
如同干热吞噬融雪。
20 他们的生母忘记他们,
虫子在他们身上饱餐。
没有人再记得他们,
恶人像树木一样折断。
21 他们恶待不育的妇人,
毫不善待寡妇。
22 但上帝用大能掳走权贵,
他们再强大也难保性命。
23 上帝让他们暂享安逸,
但他们逃不过祂的眼睛。
24 他们一时得势,转瞬消逝;
他们沦为卑贱,像其他人一样灭亡,
像麦穗一样被割掉。
25 我说的都是实情,谁能否认?
谁能证明我的话是空谈?”
Job 24
Contemporary English Version
Job Continues
Why Doesn't God Set a Time?
24 Why doesn't God
set a time for court?
Why don't his people know
where he can be found?
2 Sinners remove boundary markers
and take care of sheep
they have stolen.
3 They cheat orphans and widows
by taking their donkeys
and oxen.
4 The poor are trampled
and forced to hide
5 in the desert,
where they and their children
must live like wild donkeys
and search for food.
6 If they want grain or grapes,[a]
they must go to the property
of these sinners.
7 They sleep naked in the cold,
because they have no cover,
8 and during a storm
their only shelters are caves
among the rocky cliffs.
9 Children whose fathers have died
are taken from their mothers
as payment for a debt.
10 Then they are forced to work
naked in the grain fields
because they have no clothes,
and they go hungry.
11 They crush olives to make oil
and grapes to make wine—
but still they go thirsty.
12 And along the city streets,
the wounded and dying cry out,
yet God does nothing.
Some Reject the Light
13 Some rebel and refuse
to follow the light.
14 Soon after sunset they murder
the poor and the needy,
and at night they steal.
15 Others wait for the dark,
thinking they won't be seen
if they sleep with the wife
or husband of someone else.
16 Robbers hide during the day,
then break in after dark
because they reject the light.
17 They prefer night to day,
since the terrors of the night
are their friends.
Sinners Are Filthy Foam
18 Those sinners are filthy foam
on the surface of the water.
And so, their fields and vineyards
will fall under a curse
and won't produce.
19 Just as the heat of summer
swallows the snow,
the world of the dead
swallows those who sin.
20 Forgotten here on earth,
and with their power broken,
they taste sweet to worms.
21 Sinners take advantage of widows
and other helpless women.[b]
22 But God's mighty strength
destroys those in power.
Even if they seem successful,
they are doomed to fail.
23 God may let them feel secure,
but they are never
out of his sight.
24 Great for a while; gone forever!
Sinners are mowed down
like weeds,
then they wither and die.
25 If I haven't spoken the truth,
then prove me wrong.
Job 24
New International Version
24 “Why does the Almighty not set times(A) for judgment?(B)
Why must those who know him look in vain for such days?(C)
2 There are those who move boundary stones;(D)
they pasture flocks they have stolen.(E)
3 They drive away the orphan’s donkey
and take the widow’s ox in pledge.(F)
4 They thrust the needy(G) from the path
and force all the poor(H) of the land into hiding.(I)
5 Like wild donkeys(J) in the desert,
the poor go about their labor(K) of foraging food;
the wasteland(L) provides food for their children.
6 They gather fodder(M) in the fields
and glean in the vineyards(N) of the wicked.(O)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(P)
8 They are drenched(Q) by mountain rains
and hug(R) the rocks for lack of shelter.(S)
9 The fatherless(T) child is snatched(U) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(V) for a debt.(W)
10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;(X)
they carry the sheaves,(Y) but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives among the terraces[a];
they tread the winepresses,(Z) yet suffer thirst.(AA)
12 The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.(AB)
But God charges no one with wrongdoing.(AC)
13 “There are those who rebel against the light,(AD)
who do not know its ways
or stay in its paths.(AE)
14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,
kills(AF) the poor and needy,(AG)
and in the night steals forth like a thief.(AH)
15 The eye of the adulterer(AI) watches for dusk;(AJ)
he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’(AK)
and he keeps his face concealed.
16 In the dark, thieves break into houses,(AL)
but by day they shut themselves in;
they want nothing to do with the light.(AM)
17 For all of them, midnight is their morning;
they make friends with the terrors(AN) of darkness.(AO)
18 “Yet they are foam(AP) on the surface of the water;(AQ)
their portion of the land is cursed,(AR)
so that no one goes to the vineyards.(AS)
19 As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow,(AT)
so the grave(AU) snatches away those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them,
the worm(AV) feasts on them;(AW)
the wicked are no longer remembered(AX)
but are broken like a tree.(AY)
21 They prey on the barren and childless woman,
and to the widow they show no kindness.(AZ)
22 But God drags away the mighty by his power;(BA)
though they become established,(BB) they have no assurance of life.(BC)
23 He may let them rest in a feeling of security,(BD)
but his eyes(BE) are on their ways.(BF)
24 For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone;(BG)
they are brought low and gathered up like all others;(BH)
they are cut off like heads of grain.(BI)
25 “If this is not so, who can prove me false
and reduce my words to nothing?”(BJ)
