伯16

约伯记-Job 第 16 章

16:1	约伯回答说， Then Job answered and said,
16:2	这样的话我听了许多；你们安慰人，却都是叫人愁烦。 I have heard many such things; Troubling comforters are you all.
16:3	虚空如风的言语有穷尽么？有什么惹动你这样回答呢？ Do words of wind have an end? Or what has provoked you that you so respond?
16:4	我也能像你们这样说话，如果你们的心境像我现在的心境，我也会编撰言语攻击你们，又向你们摇头。 I also could speak like you, If your soul were in my soul's stead; I could join my words together against you And shake my head at you.
16:5	我能用口坚固你们，我动嘴唇，就能消减你们的痛苦。 I could strengthen you with my mouth, And the movement of my lips would mitigate your pain.
16:6	我若说话，痛苦仍不得消减；我若忍住不说，有多少痛苦会离开我呢？ If I speak, my pain is not mitigated; And if I forbear, how much departs from me?
16:7	但现在神使我困乏，使我的亲友都离弃我； But now He has worn me out; You have desolated all my company.
16:8	又抓住我，作见证攻击我；我身体的枯瘦也当面见证我的不是。 And You have seized me; it is a testimony against me; And my leanness rises up against me; it testifies to my face.
16:9	主发怒撕裂我，敌对我，向我咬牙切齿。我的敌人以锐利的眼看着我。 In His wrath He has torn me to pieces and been adverse toward me; He has gnashed His teeth at me. My Adversary sharpens His eyes at me.
16:10	他们向我开口，打我的脸羞辱我，聚集一起攻击我。 With their mouth they gape at me; They strike my cheek reproachfully; They mass themselves together against me.
16:11	神把我交给不公正的人，把我扔到恶人的手中。 God has delivered me over to the unjust And cast me down into the hands of the wicked.
16:12	我素来安逸，祂折断我，掐住我的颈项，把我摔碎。祂立我作祂的箭靶； I was at ease, and He broke me apart; Indeed He took me by my neck and dashed me to pieces. And He set me up as His target;
16:13	祂的弓箭手围绕我；祂破裂我的腰肾，并不留情；把我的胆倾倒在地上。 His archers surrounded me; He split open my kidneys and did not desist; He poured out my gall upon the earth.
16:14	祂将我破裂又破裂；如同勇士向我直闯。 He broke me open with breach upon breach; He ran at me like a mighty man of war.
16:15	我缝麻布在我皮肤上，把我的角插在尘土中。 I have sewn sackcloth upon my skin And have cast my horn into the dust.
16:16	我的脸因哭泣发红，在我的眼皮上有死荫； My face is reddened with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
16:17	我的手中却无强暴，我的祷告也是清洁。 Though there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.
16:18	地阿，不要遮盖我的血，愿我的哀号不受阻挡。 O earth, do not cover my blood; And let there be no resting place for my crying out.
16:19	现今在天上有我的见证人，在高处有我的作证者。 Even now, there in heaven is my Witness, And He who vouches for me is in the heights.
16:20	我的朋友讥诮我；我向神眼泪汪汪， My friends deride me; My eye pours out tears to God,
16:21	愿祂在人与神的争讼中为人辩白，并在世人与邻舍的争讼中为世人辩白。 That He would plead for a man in his case with God And for a son of man in his case with his neighbor.
16:22	因为再过几年，我必走那往而不返之路。 For when years few in number have come, I will go the way from which I cannot return.
