約伯記 Job

9:1	[hb5]	約伯回答說、
	[kjv]	Then Job answered and said,
9:2	[hb5]	我真知道是這樣．但人在　神面前怎能成為義呢。
	[kjv]	I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
9:3	[hb5]	若願意與他爭辯、千中之一也不能回答。
	[kjv]	If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
9:4	[hb5]	他心裡有智慧、且大有能力．誰向　神剛硬而得亨通呢。
	[kjv]	He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
9:5	[hb5]	他發怒、把山翻倒挪移、山並不知覺．
	[kjv]	Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
9:6	[hb5]	他使地震動、離其本位、地的柱子就搖撼。
	[kjv]	Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
9:7	[hb5]	他吩咐日頭不出來、就不出來、又封閉眾星。
	[kjv]	Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
9:8	[hb5]	他獨自鋪張蒼天、步行在海浪之上。
	[kjv]	Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9:9	[hb5]	他造北斗、參星、昴星、並南方的密宮。
	[kjv]	Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
9:10	[hb5]	他行大事不可測度、行奇事不可勝數。
	[kjv]	Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
9:11	[hb5]	他從我旁邊經過、我卻不看見．他在我面前行走、我倒不知覺。
	[kjv]	Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
9:12	[hb5]	他奪取、誰能阻擋、誰敢問他、你作甚麼。
	[kjv]	Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
9:13	[hb5]	神必不收回他的怒氣．扶助拉哈伯的、屈身在他以下。
	[kjv]	If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
9:14	[hb5]	既是這樣、我怎敢回答他、怎敢選擇言語與他辯論呢。
	[kjv]	How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
9:15	[hb5]	我雖有義、也不回答他．只要向那審判我的懇求。
	[kjv]	Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
9:16	[hb5]	我若呼籲、他應允我、我仍不信他真聽我的聲音。
	[kjv]	If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
9:17	[hb5]	他用暴風折斷我、無故的加增我的損傷。
	[kjv]	For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
9:18	[hb5]	我就是喘一口氣、他都不容、倒使我滿心苦惱。
	[kjv]	He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
9:19	[hb5]	若論力量、他真有能力．若論審判、他說誰能將我傳來呢。
	[kjv]	If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
9:20	[hb5]	我雖有義、自己的口要定我為有罪．我雖完全、我口必顯我為彎曲。
	[kjv]	If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
9:21	[hb5]	我本完全．不顧自己．我厭惡我的性命。
	[kjv]	Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
9:22	[hb5]	善惡無分、都是一樣．所以我說、完全人、和惡人、他都滅絕。
	[kjv]	This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
9:23	[hb5]	若忽然遭殺害之禍、他必戲笑無辜的人遇難。
	[kjv]	If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
9:24	[hb5]	世界交在惡人手中．蒙蔽世界審判官的臉．若不是他、是誰呢。
	[kjv]	The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
9:25	[hb5]	我的日子比跑信的更快、急速過去、不見福樂。
	[kjv]	Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
9:26	[hb5]	我的日子過去如快船、如急落抓食的鷹。
	[kjv]	They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
9:27	[hb5]	我若說、我要忘記我的哀情、除去我的愁容、心中暢快．
	[kjv]	If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
9:28	[hb5]	我因愁苦而懼怕、知道你必不以我為無辜。
	[kjv]	I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
9:29	[hb5]	我必被你定為有罪．我何必徒然勞苦呢。
	[kjv]	If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
9:30	[hb5]	我若用雪水洗身、用鹼潔淨我的手．
	[kjv]	If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
9:31	[hb5]	你還要扔我在坑裡、我的衣服都憎惡我．
	[kjv]	Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
9:32	[hb5]	他本不像我是人、使我可以回答他、又使我們可以同聽審判。
	[kjv]	For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
9:33	[hb5]	我們中間沒有聽訟的人、可以向我們兩造按手。
	[kjv]	Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
9:34	[hb5]	願他把杖離開我、不使驚惶威嚇我．
	[kjv]	Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
9:35	[hb5]	我就說話、也不懼怕他．現在我卻不是那樣。
	[kjv]	Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
