約伯記 Job

6:1	[hb5]	約伯回答說、
	[bbe]	And Job made answer and said,
6:2	[hb5]	惟願我的煩惱稱一稱、我一切的災害放在天平裡。
	[bbe]	If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble!
6:3	[hb5]	現今都比海沙更重、所以我的言語急躁。
	[bbe]	For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled.
6:4	[hb5]	因全能者的箭射入我身、其毒、我的靈喝盡了．　神的驚嚇擺陣攻擊我。
	[bbe]	For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.
6:5	[hb5]	野驢有草、豈能叫喚．牛有料、豈能吼叫。
	[bbe]	Does the ass of the fields give out his voice when he has grass? or does the ox make sounds over his food?
6:6	[hb5]	物淡而無鹽、豈可喫麼、蛋青有甚麼滋味呢。
	[bbe]	Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain?
6:7	[hb5]	看為可厭的食物、我心不肯挨近。
	[bbe]	My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food.
6:8	[hb5]	惟願我得著所求的、願　神賜我所切望的．
	[bbe]	If only I might have an answer to my prayer, and God would give me my desire!
6:9	[hb5]	就是願　神把我壓碎、伸手將我剪除。
	[bbe]	If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off!
6:10	[hb5]	我因沒有違棄那聖者的言語、就仍以此為安慰、在不止息的痛苦中、還可踊躍。
	[bbe]	So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.
6:11	[hb5]	我有甚麼氣力、使我等候．我有甚麼結局、使我忍耐。
	[bbe]	Have I strength to go on waiting, or have I any end to be looking forward to?
6:12	[hb5]	我的氣力、豈是石頭的氣力．我的肉身、豈是銅的呢．
	[bbe]	Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh brass?
6:13	[hb5]	在我豈不是毫無幫助麼．智慧豈不是從我心中趕出淨盡麼。
	[bbe]	I have no help in myself, and wisdom is completely gone from me.
6:14	[hb5]	那將要灰心、離棄全能者、不敬畏　神的人、他的朋友、當以慈愛待他。
	[bbe]	He whose heart is shut against his friend has given up the fear of the Ruler of all.
6:15	[hb5]	我的弟兄詭詐、好像溪水、又像溪水流乾的河道。
	[bbe]	My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end:
6:16	[hb5]	這河、因結冰發黑、有雪藏在其中．
	[bbe]	Which are dark because of the ice, and the snow falling into them;
6:17	[hb5]	天氣漸暖、就隨時消化．日頭炎熱、便從原處乾涸。
	[bbe]	Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat.
6:18	[hb5]	結伴的客旅離棄大道、順河邊行．到荒野之地死亡。
	[bbe]	The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction.
6:19	[hb5]	提瑪結伴的客旅瞻望、示巴同夥的人等候。
	[bbe]	The camel-trains of Tema were searching with care, the bands of Sheba were waiting for them:
6:20	[hb5]	他們因失了盼望就抱愧、來到那裡便蒙羞。
	[bbe]	They were put to shame because of their hope; they came and their hope was gone.
6:21	[hb5]	現在你們正是這樣．看見驚嚇的事便懼怕。
	[bbe]	So have you now become to me; you see my sad condition and are in fear.
6:22	[hb5]	我豈說、請你們供給我．從你們的財物中、送禮物給我。
	[bbe]	Did I say, Give me something? or, Make a payment for me out of your wealth?
6:23	[hb5]	豈說、拯救我脫離敵人的手麼．救贖我脫離強暴人的手麼。
	[bbe]	Or, Get me out of the power of my hater? or, Give money so that I may be free from the power of the cruel ones?
6:24	[hb5]	請你們教導我、我便不作聲．使我明白在何事上有錯。
	[bbe]	Give me teaching and I will be quiet; and make me see my error.
6:25	[hb5]	正直的言語、力量何其大．但你們責備、是責備甚麼呢。
	[bbe]	How pleasing are upright words! but what force is there in your arguments?
6:26	[hb5]	絕望人的講論、既然如風、你們還想要駁正言語麼。
	[bbe]	My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind.
6:27	[hb5]	你們想為孤兒拈鬮、以朋友當貨物。
	[bbe]	Truly, you are such as would give up the child of a dead man to his creditors, and would make a profit out of your friend.
6:28	[hb5]	現在請你們看看我、我決不當面說謊。
	[bbe]	Now then, let your eyes be turned to me, for truly I will not say what is false to your face.
6:29	[hb5]	請你們轉意、不要不公．請再轉意、我的事有理。
	[bbe]	Let your minds be changed, and do not have an evil opinion of me; yes, be changed, for my righteousness is still in me.
6:30	[hb5]	我的舌上、豈有不義麼．我的口裡、豈不辨奸惡麼。
	[bbe]	Is there evil in my tongue? is not the cause of my trouble clear to me?
