约伯记-Job 第 20 章

20:1拿玛人琐法回答说,
Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
20:2为此,我烦扰的思念叫我回答;我的里面急躁。
Because of this, my disquieting thoughts answer me; And hence my haste is in me.
20:3我听见那羞辱我、责备我的话;我的灵凭我的悟性叫我回答。
I hear the reproof that humiliates me, And the spirit of my understanding answers me.
20:4你岂不知亘古以来,自从人被安置在地上,
Do you not know this from of old, Since man was set upon the earth,
20:5恶人的欢呼是短暂的,不虔敬人的喜乐不过转眼之间么?
That the joyous shouting of the wicked is short, And the rejoicing of the profane is but for a moment?
20:6他的高傲虽达到天上,头虽顶到云中;
Though his arrogance goes up to heaven, And his head touches the clouds;
20:7他必永远灭亡,像自己的粪一样;素来见他的人要说,他在那里呢?
Like his own dung he perishes forever; Those who have seen him say, Where is he?
20:8他必如梦飞去,不被寻见;他被赶逐如夜间的异象。
Like a dream he flies away and is not found; Indeed he is chased away like a vision of the night.
20:9亲眼见过他的,必不再看见他;他的本处,也再见不着他。
The eye looks on him then sees him no more, Nor does his place observe him anymore.
20:10他的儿女要求穷人的恩惠,他的手要赔还不义之财。
His children seek the favor of the poor, And his hands return his wealth.
20:11他的骨头虽满有青年之力,却要和他一同躺卧在尘土中。
His bones are full of youthful vigor, Yet it lies down with him in the dust.
20:12邪恶在他口中虽然甘甜,他将其藏于舌下,
Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, Though he hides it under his tongue,
20:13爱恋不舍,含在口中;
Though he favors it and will not forsake it, But holds it in his mouth;
20:14他的食物在肚腹里,要起变化,在他里面成为虺蛇的恶毒。
His food in his bowels is changed; It is the venom of asps within him.
20:15他吞了财宝,还要吐出;神要从他腹中掏出来。
He swallows down riches and vomits them up; God casts them forth from his stomach.
20:16他必吸虺蛇的毒;蝮蛇的舌头也必杀他。
He sucks the poison of asps; The tongue of the viper slays him.
20:17他不得再见河川,就是流蜜与奶油之河。
He will not look on the rivers, The streams flowing with honey and butter.
20:18他劳碌得来的要赔还,不得享用;不能照交易所得的财货欢乐。
He will return what he toiled for and will not swallow it down; And he will not rejoice according to the wealth of his trading.
20:19他欺压、离弃穷人;强取非自己所盖的房屋。
For he has oppressed and abandoned the poor; He has violently seized a house that he did not build.
20:20他因贪得无厌,所喜悦的连一样也不能保全。
Because he knew no respite in his craving, Of that which he desired he will save nothing.
20:21他所吞吃的,没有一样余剩;所以他的福乐不能持久。
There will be nothing left of what he has devoured; Thus his prosperity will not endure.
20:22他在充足满盈的时候,必成为困苦;凡受苦楚的人,都必加手在他身上。
In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be distressed; The hand of everyone in trouble will come against him.
20:23神必将猛烈的忿怒降在他身上,像雨降在他身上,作他的食物,充满他的肚腹。
In order to fill his belly, God will send the burning fierceness of His wrath on him And will rain it upon him as his food.
20:24他要躲避铁制的兵器,但铜弓的箭要将他射透。
He will flee from the iron weapon, But the bronze bow will strike him through.
20:25他一抽,箭就从他身上出来;发光的箭头,从他胆中出来;有惊惶临到他身上。
He draws the arrow out, and it comes out of his body; Indeed the glittering point goes forth from his gall. Terrors come upon him.
20:26有全般的黑暗存留,作他的财宝;有非人所吹的火,要把他烧灭,把他帐棚中所剩下的烧毁。
Total darkness is laid up as his treasures; A fire not fanned by man will devour him; It will feed on what is left in his tent.
20:27天要显明他的罪孽,地要兴起攻击他。
The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him.
20:28他家所累增的必被迁去,在神发怒的日子,必被冲没。
The increase of his house will depart As things swept away in the day of His wrath.
20:29这是恶人从神所得的分,是神命定给他的产业。
This is the wicked man's portion from God And the inheritance decreed to him by God.
