約伯記 Job

13:1	[hb5]	這一切我眼都見過、我耳都聽過、而且明白。
	[bbe]	Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.
13:2	[hb5]	你們所知道的、我也知道．並非不及你們。
	[bbe]	The same things are in my mind as in yours; I am equal to you.
13:3	[hb5]	我真要對全能者說話、我願與　神理論。
	[bbe]	But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.
13:4	[hb5]	你們是編造謊言的、都是無用的醫生。
	[bbe]	But you put a false face on things; all your attempts to put things right are of no value.
13:5	[hb5]	惟願你們全然不作聲．這就算為你們的智慧。
	[bbe]	If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!
13:6	[hb5]	請你們聽我的辯論、留心聽我口中的分訴。
	[bbe]	Give ear to the argument of my mouth, and take note of the words of my lips.
13:7	[hb5]	你們要為　神說不義的話麼、為他說詭詐的言語麼。
	[bbe]	Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth?
13:8	[hb5]	你們要為　神徇情麼、要為他爭論麼。
	[bbe]	Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?
13:9	[hb5]	他查出你們來、這豈是好麼．人欺哄人、你們也要照樣欺哄他麼。
	[bbe]	Will it be good for you to be searched out by him, or have you the thought that he may be guided into error like a man?
13:10	[hb5]	你們若暗中徇情、他必要責備你們。
	[bbe]	He will certainly put you right, if you have respect for persons in secret.
13:11	[hb5]	他的尊榮、豈不叫你們懼怕麼．他的驚嚇、豈不臨到你們麼。
	[bbe]	Will not his glory put you in fear, so that your hearts will be overcome before him?
13:12	[hb5]	你們以為可記念的箴言、是爐灰的箴言．你們以為可靠的堅壘是淤泥的堅壘。
	[bbe]	Your wise sayings are only dust, and your strong places are only earth.
13:13	[hb5]	你們不要作聲、任憑我罷、讓我說話．無論如何我都承當。
	[bbe]	Keep quiet, and let me say what is in my mind, whatever may come to me.
13:14	[hb5]	我何必把我的肉挂在牙上、將我的命放在手中。
	[bbe]	I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.
13:15	[hb5]	他必殺我．我雖無指望、然而我在他面前還要辯明我所行的。
	[bbe]	Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him;
13:16	[hb5]	這要成為我的拯救、因為不虔誠的人不得到他面前。
	[bbe]	And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,
13:17	[hb5]	你們要細聽我的言語、使我所辯論的、入你們的耳中。
	[bbe]	Give ear with care to my words, and keep what I say in your minds.
13:18	[hb5]	我已陳明我的案、知道自己有義。
	[bbe]	See now, I have put my cause in order, and I am certain that I will be seen to be right.
13:19	[hb5]	有誰與我爭論、我就情願緘默不言、氣絕而亡。
	[bbe]	Is any one able to take up the argument against me? If so, I would keep quiet and give up my breath.
13:20	[hb5]	惟有兩件、不要向我施行、我就不躲開你的面．
	[bbe]	Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face:
13:21	[hb5]	就是把你的手縮回、遠離我身．又不使你的驚惶威嚇我。
	[bbe]	Take your hand far away from me; and let me not be overcome by fear of you.
13:22	[hb5]	這樣、你呼叫、我就回答．或是讓我說話、你回答我。
	[bbe]	Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer.
13:23	[hb5]	我的罪孽和罪過有多少呢．求你叫我知道我的過犯與罪愆。
	[bbe]	What is the number of my evil-doings and my sins? give me knowledge of them.
13:24	[hb5]	你為何掩面、拿我當仇敵呢。
	[bbe]	Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters?
13:25	[hb5]	你要驚動被風吹的葉子麼．要追趕枯乾的碎秸麼．
	[bbe]	Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?
13:26	[hb5]	你按罪狀刑罰我、又使我擔當幼年的罪孽．
	[bbe]	For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years;
13:27	[hb5]	也把我的腳上了木狗、並窺察我一切的道路、為我的腳掌劃定界限。
	[bbe]	And you put chains on my feet, watching all my ways, and making a limit for my steps;
13:28	[hb5]	我已經像滅絕的爛物、像蟲蛀的衣裳。
	[bbe]	Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.
