約伯記 Job

8:1	[hb5]	書亞人比勒達回答、說、
	[bbe]	Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
8:2	[hb5]	這些話你要說到幾時．口中的言語如狂風要到幾時呢。
	[bbe]	How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
8:3	[hb5]	神豈能偏離公平．全能者豈能偏離公義。
	[bbe]	Does God give wrong decisions? or is the Ruler of all not upright in his judging?
8:4	[hb5]	或者你的兒女得罪了他、他使他們受報應。
	[bbe]	If your children have done evil against him, then their punishment is from his hand.
8:5	[hb5]	你若殷勤的尋求　神、向全能者懇求．
	[bbe]	If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;
8:6	[hb5]	你若清潔正直．他必定為你起來、使你公義的居所興旺。
	[bbe]	If you are clean and upright; then he will certainly be moved to take up your cause, and will make clear your righteousness by building up your house again.
8:7	[hb5]	你起初雖然微小、終久必甚發達。
	[bbe]	And though your start was small, your end will be very great.
8:8	[hb5]	請你考問前代、追念他們的列祖所查究的。
	[bbe]	Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:
8:9	[hb5]	（我們不過從昨日纔有、一無所知．我們在世的日子好像影兒。）
	[bbe]	(For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade:)
8:10	[hb5]	他們豈不指教你、告訴你、從心裡發出言語來呢。
	[bbe]	Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you?
8:11	[hb5]	蒲草沒有泥、豈能發長．蘆荻沒有水豈能生發。
	[bbe]	Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?
8:12	[hb5]	尚青的時候、還沒有割下、比百樣的草先枯槁。
	[bbe]	When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.
8:13	[hb5]	凡忘記　神的人、景況也是這樣．不虔敬人的指望要滅沒．
	[bbe]	So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:
8:14	[hb5]	他所仰賴的必折斷、他所倚靠的是蜘蛛網。
	[bbe]	Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread.
8:15	[hb5]	他要倚靠房屋、房屋卻站立不住．他要抓住房屋、房屋卻不能存留。
	[bbe]	He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.
8:16	[hb5]	他在日光之下發青、蔓子爬滿了園子。
	[bbe]	He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden.
8:17	[hb5]	他的根盤繞石堆、扎入石地。
	[bbe]	His roots are twisted round the stones, forcing their way in between them.
8:18	[hb5]	他若從本地被拔出、那地就不認識他、說、我沒有見過你。
	[bbe]	If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you.
8:19	[hb5]	看哪、這就是他道中之樂．以後必另有人從地而生。
	[bbe]	Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.
8:20	[hb5]	神必不丟棄完全人、也不扶助邪惡人。
	[bbe]	Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.
8:21	[hb5]	他還要以喜笑充滿你的口、以歡呼充滿你的嘴。
	[bbe]	The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
8:22	[hb5]	恨惡你的要披戴慚愧．惡人的帳棚、必歸於無有。
	[bbe]	Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.
