約伯記 Job

5:1	[hb5]	你且呼求．有誰答應你．諸聖者之中．你轉向那一位呢。
	[bbe]	Give now a cry for help; is there anyone who will give you an answer? and to which of the holy ones will you make your prayer?
5:2	[hb5]	忿怒害死愚妄人、嫉妒殺死癡迷人。
	[bbe]	For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.
5:3	[hb5]	我曾見愚妄人扎下根．但我忽然咒詛他的住處。
	[bbe]	I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly the curse came on his house.
5:4	[hb5]	他的兒女、遠離穩妥的地步、在城門口被壓、並無人搭救。
	[bbe]	Now his children have no safe place, and they are crushed before the judges, for no one takes up their cause.
5:5	[hb5]	他的莊稼、有飢餓的人喫盡了、就是在荊棘裡的、也搶去了．他的財寶、有網羅張口吞滅了。
	[bbe]	Their produce is taken by him who has no food, and their grain goes to the poor, and he who is in need of water gets it from their spring.
5:6	[hb5]	禍患、原不是從土中出來．患難、也不是從地裡發生．
	[bbe]	For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;
5:7	[hb5]	人生在世必遇患難、如同火星飛騰。
	[bbe]	But trouble is man's fate from birth, as the flames go up from the fire.
5:8	[hb5]	至於我、我必仰望　神、把我的事情託付他．
	[bbe]	But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:
5:9	[hb5]	他行大事不可測度、行奇事不可勝數．
	[bbe]	Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:
5:10	[hb5]	降雨在地上、賜水於田裡．
	[bbe]	Who gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields:
5:11	[hb5]	將卑微的安置在高處、將哀痛的舉到穩妥之地．
	[bbe]	Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place;
5:12	[hb5]	破壞狡猾人的計謀、使他們所謀的、不得成就。
	[bbe]	Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.
5:13	[hb5]	他叫有智慧的中了自己的詭計．使狡詐人的計謀速速滅亡。
	[bbe]	He takes the wise in their secret designs, and the purposes of the twisted are cut off suddenly.
5:14	[hb5]	他們白晝遇見黑暗、午間摸索、如在夜間。
	[bbe]	In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night.
5:15	[hb5]	神拯救窮乏人、脫離他們口中的刀、和強暴人的手。
	[bbe]	But he keeps safe from their sword those who have no father, and the poor from the power of the strong.
5:16	[hb5]	這樣、貧寒的人有指望、罪孽之輩必塞口無言。
	[bbe]	So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.
5:17	[hb5]	神所懲治的人是有福的．所以你不可輕看全能者的管教。
	[bbe]	Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.
5:18	[hb5]	因為他打破、又纏裹．他擊傷、用手醫治。
	[bbe]	For after his punishment he gives comfort, and after wounding, his hands make you well.
5:19	[hb5]	你六次遭難、他必救你．就是七次、災禍也無法害你。
	[bbe]	He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.
5:20	[hb5]	在饑荒中、他必救你脫離死亡．在爭戰中、他必救你脫離刀劍的權力。
	[bbe]	When there is need of food he will keep you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
5:21	[hb5]	你必被隱藏、不受口舌之害．災殃臨到、你也不懼怕。
	[bbe]	He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.
5:22	[hb5]	你遇見災害飢饉、就必嬉笑．地上的野獸、你也不懼怕。
	[bbe]	You will make sport of destruction and need, and will have no fear of the beasts of the earth.
5:23	[hb5]	因為你必與田間的石頭立約．田裡的野獸、也必與你和好。
	[bbe]	For you will be in agreement with the stones of the earth, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
5:24	[hb5]	你必知道你帳棚平安、要查看你的羊圈、一無所失。
	[bbe]	And you will be certain that your tent is at peace, and after looking over your property you will see that nothing is gone.
5:25	[hb5]	也必知道你的後裔將來發達、你的子孫像地上的青草。
	[bbe]	You will be certain that your seed will be great, and your offspring like the plants of the earth.
5:26	[hb5]	你必壽高年邁纔歸墳墓、好像禾捆到時收藏。
	[bbe]	You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.
5:27	[hb5]	這理我們已經考察、本是如此．你須要聽、要知道是與自己有益。
	[bbe]	See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.
