Job 14
New International Version
Job 14
New International Version
14 “Mortals, born of woman,(A)
are of few days(B) and full of trouble.(C)
2 They spring up like flowers(D) and wither away;(E)
like fleeting shadows,(F) they do not endure.(G)
3 Do you fix your eye on them?(H)
Will you bring them[a] before you for judgment?(I)
4 Who can bring what is pure(J) from the impure?(K)
No one!(L)
5 A person’s days are determined;(M)
you have decreed the number of his months(N)
and have set limits he cannot exceed.(O)
6 So look away from him and let him alone,(P)
till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.(Q)
7 “At least there is hope for a tree:(R)
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots(S) will not fail.(T)
8 Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump(U) die in the soil,
9 yet at the scent of water(V) it will bud
and put forth shoots like a plant.(W)
10 But a man dies and is laid low;(X)
he breathes his last and is no more.(Y)
11 As the water of a lake dries up
or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,(Z)
12 so he lies down and does not rise;(AA)
till the heavens are no more,(AB) people will not awake
or be roused from their sleep.(AC)
13 “If only you would hide me in the grave(AD)
and conceal me till your anger has passed!(AE)
If only you would set me a time
and then remember(AF) me!(AG)
14 If someone dies, will they live again?
All the days of my hard service(AH)
I will wait for my renewal[b](AI) to come.
15 You will call and I will answer you;(AJ)
you will long for the creature your hands have made.(AK)
16 Surely then you will count my steps(AL)
but not keep track of my sin.(AM)
17 My offenses will be sealed(AN) up in a bag;(AO)
you will cover over my sin.(AP)
18 “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles(AQ)
and as a rock is moved from its place,(AR)
19 as water wears away stones
and torrents(AS) wash away the soil,(AT)
so you destroy a person’s hope.(AU)
20 You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;(AV)
you change their countenance and send them away.(AW)
21 If their children are honored, they do not know it;
if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.(AX)
22 They feel but the pain of their own bodies(AY)
and mourn only for themselves.(AZ)”
Job 14
King James Version
Job 14
King James Version
14 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18 And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19 The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

約伯記 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
14 「人為婦人所生，
一生短暫，充滿患難。
2 他如花盛開，轉眼凋謝；
如影消逝，無法久留。
3 你還察看這樣的世人嗎？
還要把我召來受審嗎？
4 誰能使污穢產生潔淨呢？
沒有人能。
5 人的年日已被限定，
你掌管他的歲月，
設定他無法逾越的界限。
6 求你轉身，別去管他，
好讓他如雇工度完他的日子。
7 樹木若被砍下，還有希望，
它仍可重新萌芽，
嫩枝生長不息。
8 雖然樹根在土裡衰老，
樹幹在地裡死去，
9 但一有水氣，
它就會像新栽的樹一樣發芽長枝。
10 但人一死，就失去力量；
人一嚥氣，就不知去向。
11 湖水會枯竭，
江河會乾涸，
12 人躺下便不再起來，
到諸天不復存在，
他仍不會醒來，
不會從長眠中被喚醒。
13 但願你把我藏在陰間，
把我藏起來直到你息怒，
定下眷顧我的日期。
14 人若死了，還能復生嗎？
我要在勞苦的歲月中等待，
直到我得釋放的日子來臨。
15 那時你呼喚，我便回應，
你必惦念你親手所造之物。
16 那時你必鑒察我的腳步，
但不會追究我的罪惡。
17 我的過犯會被封在袋中，
你會遮蓋我的罪愆。
18 「高山崩塌，
磐石挪移；
19 流水磨損石頭，
急流沖走泥土；
你也這樣粉碎人的希望。
20 你永遠擊敗他，使他消逝；
你改變他的容顏，讓他離世。
21 他的後人得尊榮，他無從知曉；
他們遭貶抑，他也無法察覺。
22 他只能感受自身的痛苦，
為自己哀哭。」
Job 14

Job 14
Ang Biblia, 2001
Maikli ang Buhay ng Tao
14 “Ang tao, na ipinanganak ng babae
ay may kaunting araw, at punô ng kaguluhan.
2 Siya'y umuusbong na gaya ng bulaklak, at nalalanta;
siya'y nawawalang gaya ng anino, at hindi namamalagi.
3 At iyo bang iminumulat ang iyong mga mata sa isang gaya nito,
at dinadala siya sa kahatulan na kasama mo?
4 Sinong makakakuha ng malinis na bagay mula sa marumi?
Walang sinuman.
5 Yamang ang kanyang mga araw ay itinakda na,
at ang bilang ng kanyang mga buwan ay nasa iyo,
at iyong itinalaga ang kanyang mga hangganan upang huwag siyang makaraan;
6 ilayo mo sa kanya ang iyong paningin, at ikaw ay huminto,
upang siya'y masiyahan sa kanyang araw tulad ng isang taong upahan.
7 “Sapagkat may pag-asa sa isang punungkahoy,
na kung ito'y putulin ay muling sisibol,
at ang sariwang sanga niyon ay hindi hihinto.
8 Bagaman ang kanyang ugat ay tumanda sa lupa,
at ang tuod niyon ay mamatay sa lupa;
9 gayunma'y sa pamamagitan ng amoy ng tubig ay sisibol iyon,
at magsasanga na gaya ng batang halaman.
10 Ngunit ang tao ay namamatay at ibinabaon;
ang tao ay nalalagutan ng hininga, at saan siya naroon?
11 Kung paanong ang tubig ay lumalabas sa dagat,
at ang ilog ay humuhupa at natutuyo;
12 gayon ang tao ay humihiga at hindi na bumabangon;
hanggang sa ang langit ay mawala, siya'y hindi na muling magigising,
ni mapupukaw man sa kanilang pagkakatulog.
13 O sa Sheol ay ikubli mo ako nawa,
itago mo ako hanggang sa ang iyong poot ay mawala,
takdaan mo nawa ako ng takdang panahon, at ako'y iyong alalahanin!
14 Kung ang isang tao ay mamatay, mabubuhay pa ba siya?
Lahat ng araw ng aking pagpupunyagi ay ipaghihintay ko,
hanggang sa dumating ang pagbabago ko.
15 Ikaw ay tatawag, at ako'y sasagot sa iyo;
iyong nanasain ang gawa ng mga kamay mo.
16 Kung magkagayo'y bibilangin mo ang aking mga hakbang,
at hindi mo babantayan ang aking kasalanan.
17 Ang aking pagsalangsang ay itatago sa isang lalagyan,
at iyong tatakpan ang aking kasamaan.
18 “Ngunit ang bundok ay natitibag at nawawala,
at ang bato ay inalis sa kinaroroonan niyon;
19 inaagnas ng tubig ang mga bato;
tinatangay ng mga baha niyon ang alabok ng lupa;
sa gayon mo winasak ang pag-asa ng tao.
20 Ikaw ay nananaig kailanman laban sa kanya, at siya'y pumapanaw;
iyong binabago ang kanyang mukha, at iyong pinalayas siya.
21 Ang kanyang mga anak ay nagkaroon ng karangalan, at hindi niya nalalaman;
sila'y ibinababa, ngunit hindi niya iyon nahahalata.
22 Ngunit ang sakit lamang ng kanyang katawan ay nagbibigay ng sakit sa kanya,
at nagluluksa lamang siya para sa kanyang sarili!”
