Gióp 17
New Vietnamese Bible
Gióp Cầu Khẩn Đức Chúa Trời
17 Sức sống con bị chà nát,
    Ngày đời con lụn tắt,
    Nghĩa địa đang chờ con.
2 Bọn nhạo báng vây quanh con,
    Mắt con luôn nhìn thấy họ chống đối con.
3 Xin Chúa nhận lời con bảo đảm,
    Vì còn ai dám bảo lãnh cho con?
4 Chúa giấu sự hiểu biết khỏi tâm trí họ,
    Cho nên Chúa không để họ thắng con.
5 Người nào tố cáo bạn bè vì lợi lộc,
    Con cái người sẽ mòn mắt đợi trông.
Gióp Nói Với Các Bạn
6 Chúa khiến tôi trở nên lời đàm tiếu giữa các dân,
    Chúng khạc nhổ ngay vào mặt tôi.
7 Mắt tôi mờ vì đau buồn,
    Tay chân tôi thảy đều lỏng khỏng như chiếc bóng.
8 Người ngay thẳng nhìn tôi kinh ngạc,
    Người vô tội phẫn khích vì kẻ vô đạo.
9 Người công chính giữ vững đường lối mình,
    Người có tay trong sạch càng thêm mạnh mẽ.
10 Xin tất cả các anh lại đây biện luận cùng tôi một lần nữa,
    Nhưng rồi tôi cũng sẽ không tìm được một người khôn ngoan giữa các anh!
Hy Vọng Tiêu Tan
11 Ngày đời tôi qua đi,
    Kế hoạch tôi gãy đổ,
    Mơ ước lòng tôi tan vỡ.
12 Các bạn tôi nói đêm sẽ biến thành ngày,
    Ánh sáng đến gần sau cơn tối tăm.
13 Nếu tôi trông đợi Âm Phủ làm nhà,
    Nếu tôi sắp xếp chỗ nằm trong bóng tối,
14 Nếu tôi gọi huyệt mả: “Ngươi là cha tôi,”
    Và dòi bọ: “mẹ tôi,” “chị tôi,”
15 Vậy thì hy vọng tôi ở đâu?
    Có ai nhìn thấy chút hy vọng gì cho tôi không?
16 Hy vọng có theo tôi,[a]
    Chúng tôi có cùng nhau nghỉ yên nơi bụi đất không?

Job 17
New International Version
17 1 My spirit(A) is broken,
    my days are cut short,(B)
    the grave awaits me.(C)
2 Surely mockers(D) surround me;(E)
    my eyes must dwell on their hostility.
3 “Give me, O God, the pledge you demand.(F)
    Who else will put up security(G) for me?(H)
4 You have closed their minds to understanding;(I)
    therefore you will not let them triumph.
5 If anyone denounces their friends for reward,(J)
    the eyes of their children will fail.(K)
6 “God has made me a byword(L) to everyone,(M)
    a man in whose face people spit.(N)
7 My eyes have grown dim with grief;(O)
    my whole frame is but a shadow.(P)
8 The upright are appalled at this;
    the innocent are aroused(Q) against the ungodly.
9 Nevertheless, the righteous(R) will hold to their ways,
    and those with clean hands(S) will grow stronger.(T)
10 “But come on, all of you, try again!
    I will not find a wise man among you.(U)
11 My days have passed,(V) my plans are shattered.
    Yet the desires of my heart(W)
12 turn night into day;(X)
    in the face of the darkness light is near.(Y)
13 If the only home I hope for is the grave,(Z)
    if I spread out my bed(AA) in the realm of darkness,(AB)
14 if I say to corruption,(AC) ‘You are my father,’
    and to the worm,(AD) ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
15 where then is my hope—(AE)
    who can see any hope for me?(AF)
16 Will it go down to the gates of death?(AG)
    Will we descend together into the dust?”(AH)
Job 17
Lexham English Bible
Job’s Fifth Speech, Continued
17 “My spirit is pulled down; my days are extinguished;
the graveyard is for me.
2 Surely[a] mockery is with me,
and my eye rests[b] on their provocation.
3 Please lay down a pledge for me with yourself;
who is he who will give security for my hand?[c]
4 Indeed,[d] you have closed their mind from understanding;
therefore, you will not let them triumph.
5 He denounces friends for reward,
so[e] his children’s eyes will fail.
6 “And he has made me a proverb for[f] the peoples,
and I am one before whom people spit.[g]
7 And my eye has grown dim from grief,
and the limbs of my body are all[h] like a shadow.
8 The upright are appalled at this,
and the innocent excites himself over the godless.
9 But[i] the righteous holds on to his way,
and he who has clean hands[j] increases in strength.
10 But[k] all of you must return[l]—please come![m]
But[n] I shall not find a wise person among you.
11 “My days are past; my plans are broken down—
even the desires of my heart.
12 They make night into day,
saying, ‘Light is near to darkness.’[o]
13 If I hope for Sheol as my house,
if I spread my couch in the darkness,
14 if I call to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
to the maggot, ‘You are my mother or[p] my sister,’
15 where[q] then is my hope?
And who will see my hope?[r]
16 Will they go down to the bars of Sheol?
Or shall we descend together into the dust?”

Job 17
King James Version
17 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
Job 17
New King James Version
Job Prays for Relief
17 “My spirit is broken,
My days are extinguished,
(A)The grave is ready for me.
2 Are not mockers with me?
And does not my eye [a]dwell on their (B)provocation?
3 “Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself.
Who is he who (C)will shake hands with me?
4 For You have hidden their heart from (D)understanding;
Therefore You will not exalt them.
5 He who speaks flattery to his friends,
Even the eyes of his children will (E)fail.
6 “But He has made me (F)a byword of the people,
And I have become one in whose face men spit.
7 (G)My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow,
And all my members are like shadows.
8 Upright men are astonished at this,
And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.
9 Yet the righteous will hold to his (H)way,
And he who has (I)clean hands will be stronger and stronger.
10 “But please, (J)come back again, [b]all of you,
For I shall not find one wise man among you.
11 (K)My days are past,
My purposes are broken off,
Even the [c]thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day;
‘The light is near,’ they say, in the face of darkness.
13 If I wait for the grave as my house,
If I make my bed in the darkness,
14 If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’
15 Where then is my (L)hope?
As for my hope, who can see it?
16 Will they go down (M)to the gates of [d]Sheol?
Shall we have (N)rest together in the dust?”
