約伯記 Job

30:1	[hb5]	但如今比我年少的人戲笑我．其人之父、我曾藐視、不肯安在看守我羊群的狗中。
	[kjv]	But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
	[bbe]	But now those who are younger than I make sport of me; those whose fathers I would not have put with the dogs of my flocks.
30:2	[hb5]	他們壯年的氣力既已衰敗、其手之力與我何益呢。
	[kjv]	Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
	[bbe]	Of what use is the strength of their hands to me? all force is gone from them.
30:3	[hb5]	他們因窮乏飢餓、身體枯瘦、在荒廢淒涼的幽暗中、齦乾燥之地．
	[kjv]	For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
	[bbe]	They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.
30:4	[hb5]	在草叢之中採鹹草、羅騰的根為他們的食物。〔羅騰小樹名松類〕
	[kjv]	Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
	[bbe]	They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.
30:5	[hb5]	他們從人中被趕出、人追喊他們如賊一般、
	[kjv]	They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
	[bbe]	They are sent out from among their townsmen, men are crying after them as thieves
30:6	[hb5]	以致他們住在荒谷之間、在地洞和巖穴中．
	[kjv]	To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
	[bbe]	They have to get a resting-place in the hollows of the valleys, in holes of the earth and rocks.
30:7	[hb5]	在草叢中叫喚、在荊棘下聚集。
	[kjv]	Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
	[bbe]	They make noises like asses among the brushwood; they get together under the thorns.
30:8	[hb5]	這都是愚頑下賤人的兒女．他們被鞭打、趕出境外。
	[kjv]	They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
	[bbe]	They are sons of shame, and of men without a name, who have been forced out of the land.
30:9	[hb5]	現在這些人以我為歌曲、以我為笑談。
	[kjv]	And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
	[bbe]	And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them.
30:10	[hb5]	他們厭惡我、躲在旁邊站著、不住地吐唾沫在我臉上。
	[kjv]	They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
	[bbe]	I am disgusting to them; they keep away from me, and put marks of shame on me.
30:11	[hb5]	鬆開他們的繩索苦待我、在我面前脫去轡頭。
	[kjv]	Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
	[bbe]	For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.
30:12	[hb5]	這等下流人在我右邊起來、推開我的腳、築成戰路來攻擊我。
	[kjv]	Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
	[bbe]	The lines of his men of war put themselves in order, and make high their ways of destruction against me:
30:13	[hb5]	這些無人幫助的、毀壞我的道、加增我的災。
	[kjv]	They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
	[bbe]	They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;
30:14	[hb5]	他們來如同闖進大破口．在毀壞之間、滾在我身上。
	[kjv]	They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
	[bbe]	As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.
30:15	[hb5]	驚恐臨到我、驅逐我的尊榮如風．我的福祿如雲過去。
	[kjv]	Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
	[bbe]	Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.
30:16	[hb5]	現在我心極其悲傷．困苦的日子將我抓住。
	[kjv]	And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
	[bbe]	But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:
30:17	[hb5]	夜間我裡面的骨頭刺我、疼痛不止、好像齦我。
	[kjv]	My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
	[bbe]	The flesh is gone from my bones, and they give me no rest; there is no end to my pains.
30:18	[hb5]	因　神的大力、我的外衣污穢不堪．又如裡衣的領子將我纏住。
	[kjv]	By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
	[bbe]	With great force he takes a grip of my clothing, pulling me by the neck of my coat.
30:19	[hb5]	神把我扔在淤泥中、我就像塵土和爐灰一般。
	[kjv]	He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
	[bbe]	Truly God has made me low, even to the earth, and I have become like dust.
30:20	[hb5]	主阿、我呼求你、你不應允我．我站起來、你就定睛看我。
	[kjv]	I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
	[bbe]	You give no answer to my cry, and take no note of my prayer.
30:21	[hb5]	你向我變心、待我殘忍．又用大能追逼我．
	[kjv]	Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
	[bbe]	You have become cruel to me; the strength of your hand is hard on me.
30:22	[hb5]	把我提在風中、使我駕風而行．又使我消滅在烈風中。
	[kjv]	Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
	[bbe]	Lifting me up, you make me go on the wings of the wind; I am broken up by the storm.
30:23	[hb5]	我知道要使我臨到死地、到那為眾生所定的陰宅。
	[kjv]	For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
	[bbe]	For I am certain that you will send me back to death, and to the meeting-place ordered for all living.
30:24	[hb5]	然而人仆倒、豈不伸手．遇災難、豈不求救呢。
	[kjv]	Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
	[bbe]	Has not my hand been stretched out in help to the poor? have I not been a saviour to him in his trouble?
30:25	[hb5]	人遭難、我豈不為他哭泣呢．人窮乏、我豈不為他憂愁呢。
	[kjv]	Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
	[bbe]	Have I not been weeping for the crushed? and was not my soul sad for him who was in need?
30:26	[hb5]	我仰望得好處、災禍就到了．我等待光明、黑暗便來了。
	[kjv]	When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
	[bbe]	For I was looking for good, and evil came; I was waiting for light, and it became dark.
30:27	[hb5]	我心裡煩擾不安、困苦的日子臨到我身。
	[kjv]	My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
	[bbe]	My feelings are strongly moved, and give me no rest; days of trouble have overtaken me.
30:28	[hb5]	我沒有日光就哀哭行去．〔或作我面發黑並非因日曬〕我在會中站著求救。
	[kjv]	I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
	[bbe]	I go about in dark clothing, uncomforted; I get up in the public place, crying out for help.
30:29	[hb5]	我與野狗為弟兄、與鴕鳥為同伴。
	[kjv]	I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
	[bbe]	I have become a brother to the jackals, and go about in the company of ostriches.
30:30	[hb5]	我的皮膚黑而脫落．我的骨頭因熱燒焦。
	[kjv]	My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
	[bbe]	My skin is black and dropping off me; and my bones are burning with the heat of my disease.
30:31	[hb5]	所以我的琴音變為悲音、我的簫聲變為哭聲。
	[kjv]	My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
	[bbe]	And my music has been turned to sorrow, and the sound of my pipe into the noise of weeping.
