約伯記 Job

3:1	[hb5]	此後、約伯開口、咒詛自己的生日、
	[kjv]	After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
	[bbe]	Then, opening his mouth, and cursing the day of his birth,
3:2	[hb5]	說、願我生的那日和說懷了男胎的那夜、都滅沒。
	[kjv]	And Job spake, and said,
	[bbe]	Job made answer and said,
3:3	[hb5]	見上節
	[kjv]	Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
	[bbe]	Let destruction take the day of my birth, and the night on which it was said, A man child has come into the world.
3:4	[hb5]	願那日變為黑暗．願　神不從上面尋找他、願亮光不照於其上。
	[kjv]	Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
	[bbe]	That day--let it be dark; let not God take note of it from on high, and let not the light be shining on it;
3:5	[hb5]	願黑暗和死蔭索取那日．願密雲停在其上．願日蝕恐嚇他。
	[kjv]	Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
	[bbe]	Let the dark and the black night take it for themselves; let it be covered with a cloud; let the dark shades of day send fear on it.
3:6	[hb5]	願那夜被幽暗奪取、不在年中的日子同樂．也不入月中的數目。
	[kjv]	As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
	[bbe]	That night--let the thick dark take it; let it not have joy among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.
3:7	[hb5]	願那夜沒有生育．其間也沒有歡樂的聲音。
	[kjv]	Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
	[bbe]	As for that night, let it have no fruit; let no voice of joy be sounded in it;
3:8	[hb5]	願那咒詛日子且能惹動鱷魚的、咒詛那夜。
	[kjv]	Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
	[bbe]	Let it be cursed by those who put a curse on the day; who are ready to make Leviathan awake.
3:9	[hb5]	願那夜黎明的星宿變為黑暗．盼亮卻不亮、也不見早晨的光線。〔光線原文作眼皮〕
	[kjv]	Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
	[bbe]	Let its morning stars be dark; let it be looking for light, but may it not have any; let it not see the eyes of the dawn.
3:10	[hb5]	因沒有把懷我胎的門關閉、也沒有將患難對我的眼隱藏。
	[kjv]	Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
	[bbe]	Because it did not keep the doors of my mother's body shut, so that trouble might be veiled from my eyes.
3:11	[hb5]	我為何不出母胎而死．為何不出母腹絕氣．
	[kjv]	Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
	[bbe]	Why did death not take me when I came out of my mother's body, why did I not, when I came out, give up my last breath?
3:12	[hb5]	為何有膝接收我．為何有奶哺養我。
	[kjv]	Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
	[bbe]	Why did the knees take me, or why the breasts that they might give me milk?
3:13	[hb5]	不然、我就早已躺臥安睡．
	[kjv]	For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
	[bbe]	For then I might have gone to my rest in quiet, and in sleep have been in peace,
3:14	[hb5]	和地上為自己重造荒邱的君王、謀士、
	[kjv]	With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
	[bbe]	With kings and the wise ones of the earth, who put up great houses for themselves;
3:15	[hb5]	或與有金子、將銀子裝滿了房屋的王子、一同安息．
	[kjv]	Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
	[bbe]	Or with rulers who had gold, and whose houses were full of silver;
3:16	[hb5]	或像隱而未現、不到期而落的胎、歸於無有、如同未見光的嬰孩。
	[kjv]	Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
	[bbe]	Or as a child dead at birth I might never have come into existence; like young children who have not seen the light.
3:17	[hb5]	在那裡惡人止息攪擾、困乏人得享安息．
	[kjv]	There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
	[bbe]	There the passions of the evil are over, and those whose strength has come to an end have rest.
3:18	[hb5]	被囚的人同得安逸．不聽見督工的聲音。
	[kjv]	There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
	[bbe]	There the prisoners are at peace together; the voice of the overseer comes not again to their ears.
3:19	[hb5]	大小都在那裡．奴僕脫離主人的轄制。
	[kjv]	The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
	[bbe]	The small and the great are there, and the servant is free from his master.
3:20	[hb5]	受患難的人、為何有光賜給他呢．心中愁苦的人、為何有生命賜給他呢。
	[kjv]	Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
	[bbe]	Why does he give light to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul;
3:21	[hb5]	他們切望死、卻不得死、求死勝於求隱藏的珍寶。
	[kjv]	Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
	[bbe]	To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;
3:22	[hb5]	他們尋見墳墓就快樂、極其歡喜。
	[kjv]	Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
	[bbe]	Who are glad with great joy, and full of delight when they come to their last resting-place;
3:23	[hb5]	人的道路既然遮隱、　神又把他四面圍困、為何有光賜給他呢。
	[kjv]	Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
	[bbe]	To a man whose way is veiled, and who is shut in by God?
3:24	[hb5]	我未曾喫飯、就發出歎息、我唉哼的聲音湧出如水。
	[kjv]	For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
	[bbe]	In place of my food I have grief, and cries of sorrow come from me like water.
3:25	[hb5]	因我所恐懼的臨到我身、我所懼怕的迎我而來。
	[kjv]	For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
	[bbe]	For I have a fear and it comes on me, and my heart is greatly troubled.
3:26	[hb5]	我不得安逸、不得平靜、也不得安息．卻有患難來到。
	[kjv]	I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
	[bbe]	I have no peace, no quiet, and no rest; nothing but pain comes on me.
