约伯记 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約伯自述苦況
6 於是約伯回答說:
2 “但願稱稱我的煩惱,
把我的災害一起放在天平上。
3 現在這些都比海沙更重,
所以我冒失發言。
4 因為全能者的箭射中我,
我的靈喝盡了箭的毒液,
神的驚嚇排陣攻擊我。
5 野驢有草料還會哀鳴嗎?
牛有飼料還會窮叫嗎?
6 淡而無鹽的食物有甚麼好吃呢?
蛋白有甚麼味道呢?
7 這些使我惡心的食物,
我必不肯嘗。
切願被 神剪除
8 但願我得著我所祈求的,
願 神賜我所盼望的。
9 願他樂意把我壓碎,
願他放手把我剪除。
10 這樣,我們得安慰,
在無情的痛苦之中我還可以歡躍,
因為我沒有否認那聖者的言語。
11 我有甚麼力量使我能等候呢?
我的結局是甚麼好叫我忍耐呢?
12 我的氣力是石頭一樣嗎?
我的肉身是銅的嗎?
13 我裡面不是無能自助嗎?
見識不是離我而去嗎?
責友缺乏愛心
14 朋友應該憐憫灰心的人,
因為他捨棄了對全能者的敬畏。
15 我的兄弟詭詐像乾涸的溪流,
又像流乾的溪水;
16 水流因冰塊融化而混濁,
有雪隱藏在其中。
17 天氣一暖溪水就消失,
氣候一熱就乾涸。
18 商隊順溪而行,結果偏離原道,
走到荒野之地而死亡。
19 提瑪的商隊瞻望溪水,
示巴的客旅等候水流。
20 他們失望,因為所盼望的落了空;
他們到達那裡就灰心。
21 現在你們就是這樣,
看見我的災難就害怕。
22 難道我說過‘請供給我’,
或說‘取你們的財物餽贈我’嗎?
23 或我說過‘救我脫離敵人的手’,
或說‘贖我脫離強暴人的手’嗎?
勸友說話公平
24 請指教,我就默不作聲;
請指示,我有甚麼過錯。
25 正直的言語多麼有力!
但你們的責備究竟責備甚麼呢?
26 絕望人的話不過是風,
你們還想批判嗎?
27 你們竟抽籤得孤兒,
拿朋友當貨物。
28 現在請你們看看我,
我絕不當你們的面撒謊。
29 請轉意,不要不公道;
請再轉意,我還有道理在。
30 我的舌上有不義嗎?
我的口不能辨別災害嗎?”
Job 6
New International Version
Job
6 Then Job replied:
2 “If only my anguish could be weighed
and all my misery be placed on the scales!(A)
3 It would surely outweigh the sand(B) of the seas—
no wonder my words have been impetuous.(C)
4 The arrows(D) of the Almighty(E) are in me,(F)
my spirit drinks(G) in their poison;(H)
God’s terrors(I) are marshaled against me.(J)
5 Does a wild donkey(K) bray(L) when it has grass,
or an ox bellow when it has fodder?(M)
6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt,
or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow[a]?(N)
7 I refuse to touch it;
such food makes me ill.(O)
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
that God would grant what I hope for,(P)
9 that God would be willing to crush(Q) me,
to let loose his hand and cut off my life!(R)
10 Then I would still have this consolation(S)—
my joy in unrelenting pain(T)—
that I had not denied the words(U) of the Holy One.(V)
11 “What strength do I have, that I should still hope?
What prospects, that I should be patient?(W)
12 Do I have the strength of stone?
Is my flesh bronze?(X)
13 Do I have any power to help myself,(Y)
now that success has been driven from me?
14 “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend(Z)
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.(AA)
15 But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams,(AB)
as the streams that overflow
16 when darkened by thawing ice
and swollen with melting snow,(AC)
17 but that stop flowing in the dry season,
and in the heat(AD) vanish from their channels.
18 Caravans turn aside from their routes;
they go off into the wasteland and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema(AE) look for water,
the traveling merchants of Sheba(AF) look in hope.
20 They are distressed, because they had been confident;
they arrive there, only to be disappointed.(AG)
21 Now you too have proved to be of no help;
you see something dreadful and are afraid.(AH)
22 Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf,
pay a ransom(AI) for me from your wealth,(AJ)
23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy,
rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’?(AK)
24 “Teach me, and I will be quiet;(AL)
show me where I have been wrong.(AM)
25 How painful are honest words!(AN)
But what do your arguments prove?
26 Do you mean to correct what I say,
and treat my desperate words as wind?(AO)
27 You would even cast lots(AP) for the fatherless(AQ)
and barter away your friend.
