约伯记 5
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
世人必受苦難
5 “你只管呼籲吧,有誰回答你?
在眾聖者之中你轉向哪一位?
2 煩惱殺死愚昧人,
激情害死愚蒙人。
3 我看見愚昧人扎下了根,
但咒詛忽然臨到他的居所。
4 他的兒女遠離安穩之處,
在城門口被欺壓卻沒有人援救。
5 飢餓的人吃盡他的莊稼,
連在荊棘裡的也搶去;
口渴的人(按照《馬索拉文本》,“口渴的人”作“網羅”;現參照其他抄本和古譯本翻譯)吞盡他的財富。
6 患難不從土中生出來,
勞碌不由地裡長出來;
7 原來人為勞碌而生,
如同火花向上飛揚。
人的指望在乎 神
8 至於我,我必尋求 神,
向他陳明我的案件。
9 他所作的大事無法測度,
所行的奇事不可勝數。
10 降雨在地上,
遣水到田裡,
11 把低微的安置在高位,
把哀慟的高舉於安穩之處;
12 又挫敗狡猾人的計謀,
使他們的手所作的無法成全;
13 他使有智慧的人中了自己的詭計,
使奸詐人的謀算快快失敗。
14 他們白天遇見黑暗,
中午摸索如在夜間。
15 他拯救窮乏人脫離他們口中的刀劍,
脫離強暴人的手;
16 這樣,貧窮人有指望,
不義的人卻閉口無言。
受主懲治的人是有福的
17 神所責備的人是有福的,
所以你不要輕看全能者的管教。
18 因為他打傷,又纏裹;
他擊傷,又親手醫治。
19 你六次遭遇患難,他都救拔你,
就算第七次,災禍也傷不了你。
20 在饑荒中,他必救你脫離死亡;
在戰爭中,他必救你脫離刀劍的權勢。
21 你必不受人口舌之害,
災殃臨到,也不害怕。
22 對災殃和饑饉,一笑置之,
地上的野獸你也不害怕。
23 你必與田間的石頭立約,
田間的野獸必與你和平相處。
24 你必曉得你的帳棚平安無事;
你查看莊舍,也一無缺失。
25 你必曉得你的後裔眾多,
子孫像地上的青草那樣茂盛。
26 你必全壽才歸到墳墓去,
如同禾捆到時就收起來。
27 這道理我們已經查明實在是這樣,
你當聆聽,也當明白。”
約伯記 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
5 「你只管呼救吧,
誰會回應你呢?
你向哪位聖者求助呢?
2 憤恨害死愚昧人,
嫉妒殺死無知者。
3 我見愚昧人扎了根,
突然咒詛臨到他家。
4 他的兒女毫無安寧,
在城門口受欺壓也無人搭救。
5 饑餓的人吞掉他的莊稼,
連荊棘裡的也不放過;
乾渴的人吞盡他的財富。
6 苦難並非從土裡長出,
患難並非從地裡生出。
7 人生來必遇患難,
正如火花必向上飛。
8 「若是我,
就向上帝求助,
向祂陳明苦衷。
9 祂行的奇事不可測度,
祂行的神蹟不可勝數。
10 祂降下雨水澆灌大地,
賜下甘霖滋潤田園。
11 祂提拔卑微的人,
庇護哀痛的人。
12 祂挫敗狡猾人的陰謀,
使他們無法得逞。
13 祂使智者中了自己的詭計,
使奸徒的計謀迅速落空。
14 他們白天遇到黑暗,
午間摸索如在夜晚。
15 上帝拯救窮苦人脫離惡人的中傷,
脫離殘暴之徒的轄制,
16 好使貧寒之人有盼望,
使不義之徒啞口無言。
17 「被上帝責備的人有福了,
不可輕視全能者的管教。
18 因為祂打傷,祂也包紮;
祂擊傷,祂也醫治。
19 六次遭難,祂都救你;
第七次,災禍也傷不到你。
20 饑荒時,祂必救你脫離死亡;
戰爭中,祂必救你脫離刀劍。
21 你必免受惡毒的譭謗,
災難來臨也不懼怕。
22 你必笑對災殃和饑荒,
毫不懼怕地上的野獸。
23 你必與田間的石頭立約,
野獸必與你和平相處。
24 你的家必安然無恙,
察看羊圈,一隻不少。
25 你必看見子孫昌盛,
後代如遍地的青草。
26 你必壽終正寢才歸墳墓,
如同莊稼熟後才被收割。
27 看啊,我們已經查驗了,
這一切真實可靠,
你當聆聽、接受。」
Job 5
Complete Jewish Bible
5 “Call if you like, but will anyone answer?
To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 For anger kills the fool,
and envy slays the silly.
3 I watch as a fool establishes roots,
but I curse his home with sudden [destruction] —
4 his children are far from help,
publicly humiliated, with no one to rescue;
5 the hungry eat up his harvest,
taking it even from among thorns,
while the thirsty are panting,
eager to swallow his wealth.
6 For misery does not come from the dust
or trouble spring from the ground.
7 No, people are born for trouble
as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “If I were you, I would seek God;
I would make my plea to him.
9 For God does great deeds beyond investigation,
wonders beyond all reckoning.
10 He gives rain to the earth,
pours water down on the fields.
11 He raises the lowly on high
and lifts mourners to safety.
12 He frustrates the schemes of the cunning,
so that they achieve no success;
13 trapping the crafty in their own tricks
and foiling quickly the plans of the false.
14 They meet with darkness during the day,
groping at noon like at night.
15 But he saves the poor from the sword, their mouth,
and from the clutches of the strong;
16 so the poor can hope again;
and injustice shuts its mouth.
17 “How happy the person whom God corrects!
So don’t despise Shaddai’s discipline.
18 For he wounds, but he bandages the sore;
his hands may strike, but they also heal.
19 He will rescue you from six disasters;
yes, in seven no harm will touch you.
20 In famine, he will save you from death,
and in war, from the power of the sword.
21 You will be shielded from the lash of the tongue,
and you won’t have to fear destruction when it comes —
22 you’ll be able to laugh at destruction and famine.
Also you won’t have to fear wild animals,
23 for you will be in league with the stones in the field,
and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
24 You will know that your tent is safe;
you will look round your home and miss nothing.
25 You will know that your descendants are many,
your offspring like grass [growing thick] in the fields.
26 You will come to your grave at a ripe old age,
like a pile of grain that arrives in season.
27 “We’ve looked into this, and that’s how it is;
listen, and know that it’s for your own good.”
Job 5
New International Version
5 “Call if you will, but who will answer you?(A)
To which of the holy ones(B) will you turn?
2 Resentment(C) kills a fool,
and envy slays the simple.(D)
3 I myself have seen(E) a fool taking root,(F)
but suddenly(G) his house was cursed.(H)
4 His children(I) are far from safety,(J)
crushed in court(K) without a defender.(L)
5 The hungry consume his harvest,(M)
taking it even from among thorns,
and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground.(N)
7 Yet man is born to trouble(O)
as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God;
I would lay my cause before him.(P)
9 He performs wonders(Q) that cannot be fathomed,(R)
miracles that cannot be counted.(S)
10 He provides rain for the earth;(T)
he sends water on the countryside.(U)
11 The lowly he sets on high,(V)
and those who mourn(W) are lifted(X) to safety.
12 He thwarts the plans(Y) of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.(Z)
13 He catches the wise(AA) in their craftiness,(AB)
and the schemes of the wily are swept away.(AC)
14 Darkness(AD) comes upon them in the daytime;
at noon they grope as in the night.(AE)
15 He saves the needy(AF) from the sword in their mouth;
he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.(AG)
16 So the poor(AH) have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.(AI)
17 “Blessed is the one whom God corrects;(AJ)
so do not despise the discipline(AK) of the Almighty.[a](AL)
18 For he wounds, but he also binds up;(AM)
he injures, but his hands also heal.(AN)
19 From six calamities he will rescue(AO) you;
in seven no harm will touch you.(AP)
20 In famine(AQ) he will deliver you from death,
and in battle from the stroke of the sword.(AR)
21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue,(AS)
and need not fear(AT) when destruction comes.(AU)
22 You will laugh(AV) at destruction and famine,(AW)
and need not fear the wild animals.(AX)
23 For you will have a covenant(AY) with the stones(AZ) of the field,
and the wild animals will be at peace with you.(BA)
24 You will know that your tent is secure;(BB)
you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing.(BC)
25 You will know that your children will be many,(BD)
and your descendants like the grass of the earth.(BE)
26 You will come to the grave in full vigor,(BF)
like sheaves gathered in season.(BG)
