21:1 | [hb5] | 約 伯 回 答 說 、 |
| [kjv] | But Job answered and said, |
| [bbe] | Then Job made answer and said, |
21:2 | [hb5] | 你 們 要 細 聽 我 的 言 語 、 就 算 是 你 們 安 慰 我 。 |
| [kjv] | Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. |
| [bbe] | Give attention with care to my words; and let this be your comfort. |
21:3 | [hb5] | 請 寬 容 我 、 我 又 要 說 話 . 說 了 以 後 、 任 憑 你 們 嗤 笑 罷 。 |
| [kjv] | Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. |
| [bbe] | Let me say what is in my mind, and after that, go on making sport of me. |
21:4 | [hb5] | 我 豈 是 向 人 訴 冤 、 為 何 不 焦 急 呢 。 |
| [kjv] | As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled? |
| [bbe] | As for me, is my outcry against man? is it then to be wondered at if my spirit is troubled? |
21:5 | [hb5] | 你 們 要 看 著 我 而 驚 奇 、 用 手 摀 口 。 |
| [kjv] | Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. |
| [bbe] | Take note of me and be full of wonder, put your hand on your mouth. |
21:6 | [hb5] | 我 每 逢 思 想 、 心 就 驚 惶 、 渾 身 戰 兢 。 |
| [kjv] | Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. |
| [bbe] | At the very thought of it my flesh is shaking with fear. |
21:7 | [hb5] | 惡 人 為 何 存 活 、 享 大 壽 數 、 勢 力 強 盛 呢 。 |
| [kjv] | Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? |
| [bbe] | Why is life given to the evil-doers? why do they become old and strong in power? |
21:8 | [hb5] | 他 們 眼 見 兒 孫 、 和 他 們 一 同 堅 立 。 |
| [kjv] | Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. |
| [bbe] | Their children are ever with them, and their offspring before their eyes. |
21:9 | [hb5] | 他 們 的 家 宅 平 安 無 懼 、 神 的 杖 也 不 加 在 他 們 身 上 。 |
| [kjv] | Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. |
| [bbe] | Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them. |
21:10 | [hb5] | 他 們 的 公 牛 孳 生 而 不 斷 絕 . 母 牛 下 犢 而 不 掉 胎 。 |
| [kjv] | Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. |
| [bbe] | Their ox is ready at all times to give seed; their cow gives birth, without dropping her young. |
21:11 | [hb5] | 他 們 打 發 小 孩 子 出 去 、 多 如 羊 群 . 他 們 的 兒 女 踊 躍 跳 舞 。 |
| [kjv] | They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. |
| [bbe] | They send out their young ones like a flock, and their children have pleasure in the dance, |
21:12 | [hb5] | 他 們 隨 著 琴 鼓 歌 唱 、 又 因 簫 聲 歡 喜 。 |
| [kjv] | They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. |
| [bbe] | They make songs to the instruments of music, and are glad at the sound of the pipe. |
21:13 | [hb5] | 他 們 度 日 諸 事 亨 通 、 轉 眼 下 入 陰 間 。 |
| [kjv] | They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. |
| [bbe] | Their days come to an end without trouble, and suddenly they go down to the underworld. |
21:14 | [hb5] | 他 們 對 神 說 、 離 開 我 們 罷 . 我 們 不 願 曉 得 你 的 道 。 |
| [kjv] | Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. |
| [bbe] | Though they said to God, Go away from us, for we have no desire for the knowledge of your ways. |
21:15 | [hb5] | 全 能 者 是 誰 、 我 們 何 必 事 奉 他 呢 . 求 告 他 有 甚 麼 益 處 呢 。 |
| [kjv] | What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? |
| [bbe] | What is the Ruler of all, that we may give him worship? and what profit is it to us to make prayer to him? |
21:16 | [hb5] | 看 哪 、 他 們 亨 通 不 在 乎 自 己 . 惡 人 所 謀 定 的 離 我 好 遠 。 |
| [kjv] | Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. |
| [bbe] | Truly, is not their well-being in their power? (The purpose of the evil-doers is far from me.) |
21:17 | [hb5] | 惡 人 的 燈 何 嘗 熄 滅 . 患 難 何 嘗 臨 到 他 們 呢 . 神 何 嘗 發 怒 、 向 他 們 分 散 災 禍 呢 。 |
| [kjv] | How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. |
| [bbe] | How frequently is the light of the evil-doers put out, or does trouble come on them? how frequently does his wrath take them with cords? |
21:18 | [hb5] | 他 們 何 嘗 像 風 前 的 碎 秸 、 如 暴 風 颳 去 的 糠 秕 呢 。 |
| [kjv] | They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. |
| [bbe] | How frequently are they as dry stems before the wind, or as grass taken away by the storm-wind? |
21:19 | [hb5] | 你 們 說 、 神 為 惡 人 的 兒 女 積 蓄 罪 孽 。 我 說 、 不 如 本 人 受 報 、 好 使 他 親 自 知 道 。 |
| [kjv] | God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. |
| [bbe] | You say, God keeps punishment stored up for his children. Let him send it on the man himself, so that he may have the punishment of it! |
21:20 | [hb5] | 願 他 親 眼 看 見 自 己 敗 亡 、 親 自 飲 全 能 者 的 忿 怒 。 |
| [kjv] | His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. |
| [bbe] | Let his eyes see his trouble, and let him be full of the wrath of the Ruler of all! |
21:21 | [hb5] | 他 的 歲 月 既 盡 、 他 還 顧 他 本 家 麼 。 |
| [kjv] | For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? |
| [bbe] | For what interest has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is ended? |
21:22 | [hb5] | 神 既 審 判 那 在 高 位 的 、 誰 能 將 知 識 教 訓 他 呢 。 |
| [kjv] | Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. |
| [bbe] | Is anyone able to give teaching to God? for he is the judge of those who are on high. |
21:23 | [hb5] | 有 人 至 死 身 體 強 壯 、 盡 得 平 靖 安 逸 . |
| [kjv] | One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. |
| [bbe] | One comes to his end in complete well-being, full of peace and quiet: |
21:24 | [hb5] | 他 的 奶 桶 充 滿 、 他 的 骨 髓 滋 潤 。 |
| [kjv] | His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. |
| [bbe] | His buckets are full of milk, and there is no loss of strength in his bones. |
21:25 | [hb5] | 有 人 至 死 心 中 痛 苦 、 終 身 未 嘗 福 樂 的 滋 味 。 |
| [kjv] | And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. |
| [bbe] | And another comes to his end with a bitter soul, without ever tasting good. |
21:26 | [hb5] | 他 們 一 樣 躺 臥 在 塵 土 中 、 都 被 蟲 子 遮 蓋 。 |
| [kjv] | They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. |
| [bbe] | Together they go down to the dust, and are covered by the worm. |
21:27 | [hb5] | 我 知 道 你 們 的 意 思 、 並 誣 害 我 的 計 謀 。 |
| [kjv] | Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. |
| [bbe] | See, I am conscious of your thoughts, and of your violent purposes against me; |
21:28 | [hb5] | 你 們 說 、 霸 者 的 房 屋 在 那 裡 . 惡 人 住 過 的 帳 棚 在 那 裡 。 |
| [kjv] | For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked? |
| [bbe] | For you say, Where is the house of the ruler, and where is the tent of the evil-doer? |
21:29 | [hb5] | 你 們 豈 沒 有 詢 問 過 路 的 人 麼 . 不 知 道 他 們 所 引 的 證 據 麼 。 |
| [kjv] | Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, |
| [bbe] | Have you not put the question to the travellers, and do you not take note of their experience? |
21:30 | [hb5] | 就 是 惡 人 在 禍 患 的 日 子 得 存 留 、 在 發 怒 的 日 子 得 逃 脫 。 |
| [kjv] | That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. |
| [bbe] | How the evil man goes free in the day of trouble, and has salvation in the day of wrath? |
21:31 | [hb5] | 他 所 行 的 、 有 誰 當 面 給 他 說 明 . 他 所 作 的 、 有 誰 報 應 他 呢 。 |
| [kjv] | Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? |
| [bbe] | Who will make his way clear to his face? and if he has done a thing, who gives him punishment for it? |
21:32 | [hb5] | 然 而 他 要 被 抬 到 塋 地 、 並 有 人 看 守 墳 墓 。 |
| [kjv] | Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. |
| [bbe] | He is taken to his last resting-place, and keeps watch over it. |
21:33 | [hb5] | 他 要 以 谷 中 的 土 塊 為 甘 甜 、 在 他 以 先 去 的 無 數 、 在 他 以 後 去 的 更 多 。 |
| [kjv] | The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him. |
| [bbe] | The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him. |
21:34 | [hb5] | 你 們 對 答 的 話 中 既 都 錯 謬 、 怎 麼 徒 然 安 慰 我 呢 。 |
| [kjv] | How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood? |
| [bbe] | Why then do you give me comfort with words in which there is no profit, when you see that there is nothing in your answers but deceit? |
