约伯记 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
比勒達首次發言
8 書亞人比勒達回答說：
2 “這些話你要說到幾時，
你口中的言語像狂風到幾時呢？
3 神怎會歪曲公平？
全能者怎會屈枉公義？
4 你的兒女若得罪了他，
他就因他們的過犯撇棄他們。
5 你若殷勤尋求 神，
向全能者懇求；
6 你若又潔淨又正直，
他就必為你奮起，
復興你公義的居所。
7 你起初雖然微小，
到後來必定非常興旺。
離開 神毫無倚靠
8 請你查問前幾代，
留意他們列祖所查究的。
9 我們只是昨天才有的，所以一無所知；
我們在世的日子不過是影兒。
10 難道他們不指教你，告訴你，
從心裡發出言語來嗎？
11 蒲草沒有泥，怎能生長？
蘆葦沒有水，怎能長大呢？
12 尚青還沒有割下來的時候，
就比百草先枯槁。
13 忘記 神的，他們的末路也是這樣；
不敬虔的人，他的指望必成泡影。
14 他所自恃的，必被折斷；
他所靠賴的，不過是蜘蛛網。
15 他倚靠自己的家，家卻立不住，
他抓緊自己的家，家卻存不久。
16 他在陽光之下，枝潤葉青，
它的嫩枝長滿園子，
17 它的根纏繞石堆，
扎入石地之中。
18 他若從本處被拔除，
那處就否認他，說：‘我沒有見過你。’
19 看哪，這就是他人生的樂趣，
往後必有別的人從塵土中生出來。
神不丟棄完全人
20 看哪， 神必不離棄完全人，
也不扶助行惡的人之手；
21 他還要以歡笑充滿你的口，
以歡呼充滿你的嘴。
22 恨你的都必以羞恥為衣，
惡人的帳棚必歸於無有。”
Iyov 8
Orthodox Jewish Bible
8 Then answered Bildad the Shuchi, and said,
2 How long wilt thou speak these things? And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a raging ruach (wind)?
3 Doth El pervert mishpat (justice)? Or doth Shaddai pervert tzedek?
4 If thy banim have sinned against Him, and He have cast them away for their peysha (transgression);
5 If thou wouldest seek El (G-d) earnestly, and make thy techinnah (supplication) to Shaddai;
6 If thou wert pure and yashar; surely now He would rouse Himself for thee, and restore the habitation of thy tzedek.
7 Though thy reshit (beginning) was small, yet thy acharit (end) shall be exceedingly great.
8 For inquire, now, of the dor rishon (former age), and consider the research of their avot;
9 —For we are but of temol (yesterday, etmol) and know nothing, because yameinu (our days) upon earth are a tzel (shadow)—
10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and bring forth words out of their lev?
11 Can the papyrus grow up without marsh? Can the reed grow without mayim?
12 Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before kol khatzir (all grass).
13 So are the paths of all that forget El (G-d), and the tikvat chanef (hope of the hypocrite, the irreligious, the secretly wicked profane person) shall perish,
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose reliance shall be a bais akavish (spider’s web).
15 He shall lean upon his bais, but it shall not stand, he shall cling to it, but it shall not hold.
16 He is like a green plant before the shemesh, and its branch shooteth forth in its gan (garden).
17 Its shorashim (roots) are wrapped about the rock heap, and it looks on the bais avanim (place of stones).
18 But when cast away from its makom, then its place shall deny it, saying, Loh re’iticha (I never saw thee).
19 Behold, thus was the joy of its derech, and others spring forth from the aphar (dust).
20 Surely El (G-d) will not cast away a blameless man, neither will He help the resha’im (evil-doers);
21 Till He fill thy mouth with sechok (laughter), and thy lips with teruah (shouts of joy).
22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with bushah (shame), and the ohel resha’im shall be no more.
