约伯记 3
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
约伯诅咒自己
3 此后，约伯开口诅咒自己的生日[a]。 2 约伯说：
3 “愿我生的那日灭没，
说‘怀了男胎’的那夜也灭没。
4 愿那日变为黑暗，
愿 神不从上面寻找它，
愿亮光不照于其上。
5 愿黑暗和死荫索取那日，
愿密云停在其上，
愿白天的昏暗[b]恐吓它。
6 愿那夜被幽暗夺取，
不在一年的日子中喜乐，
也不列入月中的数目。
7 看哪，愿那夜没有生育，
其间也没有欢乐的声音。
8 愿那些诅咒日子且能惹动力威亚探[c]的，
诅咒那夜。
9 愿那夜黎明的星宿变为黑暗，
盼亮却不亮，
也不见晨曦破晓[d]；
10 因它没有把怀我胎的门关闭，
也没有从我的眼中隐藏患难。
11 “我为何不出母胎而死？
为何不出母腹就气绝呢？
12 为何有膝盖接收我？
为何有奶哺养我呢？
13 不然，我现在已躺卧安睡，
而且，早已长眠安息；
14 与那些为自己重建荒凉之处，
地上的君王和谋士在一起；
15 或与把银子装满房屋，
拥有金子的王子在一起；
16 我为何不像流产的胎儿被埋藏，
如同未见光的婴孩？
17 在那里恶人止息搅扰，
在那里困乏人得享安息，
18 被囚的人同得安逸，
不再听见监工的声音。
19 大的小的都在那里，
奴仆脱离主人得自由。
20 “遭受患难的人为何有光赐给他呢？
心中愁苦的人为何有生命赐给他呢？
21 他们等死，却不得死；
求死，胜于求隐藏的珍宝。
22 他们寻见坟墓，
就欢喜快乐，极其高兴。
23 这人的道路遮隐，
神又四面围困他。
24 我吃饭前就发出叹息，
我的唉哼涌出如水。
25 因我所恐惧的临到我，
我所惧怕的迎向我；
26 我不得安逸，不得平静，
也不得安息，却有患难来到。”
Job 3
New King James Version
Job Deplores His Birth
3 After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 And Job [a]spoke, and said:
3 “May(A) the day perish on which I was born,
And the night in which it was said,
‘A male child is conceived.’
4 May that day be darkness;
May God above not seek it,
Nor the light shine upon it.
5 May darkness and (B)the shadow of death claim it;
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, may darkness seize it;
May it not [b]rejoice among the days of the year,
May it not come into the number of the months.
7 Oh, may that night be barren!
May no joyful shout come into it!
8 May those curse it who curse the day,
Those (C)who are ready to arouse Leviathan.
9 May the stars of its morning be dark;
May it look for light, but have none,
And not see the [c]dawning of the day;
10 Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,
Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.
11 “Why(D) did I not die at birth?
Why did I not [d]perish when I came from the womb?
12 (E)Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
13 For now I would have lain still and been quiet,
I would have been asleep;
Then I would have been at rest
14 With kings and counselors of the earth,
Who (F)built ruins for themselves,
15 Or with princes who had gold,
Who filled their houses with silver;
16 Or why was I not hidden (G)like a stillborn child,
Like infants who never saw light?
17 There the wicked cease from troubling,
And there the [e]weary are at (H)rest.
18 There the prisoners [f]rest together;
(I)They do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there,
And the servant is free from his master.
20 “Why(J) is light given to him who is in misery,
And life to the (K)bitter of soul,
21 Who (L)long[g] for death, but it does not come,
And search for it more than (M)hidden treasures;
22 Who rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad when they can find the (N)grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
(O)And whom God has hedged in?
24 For my sighing comes before [h]I eat,
And my groanings pour out like water.
25 For the thing I greatly (P)feared has come upon me,
And what I dreaded has happened to me.
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have no rest, for trouble comes.”
Job 3
King James Version
3 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 And Job spake, and said,
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;
15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
