约伯记 Job

15:1	[hgb]	提幔人以利法回答说，
	[bbe]	And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,
15:2	[hgb]	智慧人岂可用虚空的知识回答，用东风充满肚腹呢？
	[bbe]	Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?
15:3	[hgb]	他岂可用无益的话，和无济于事的言语，理论呢？
	[bbe]	Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?
15:4	[hgb]	你是废弃敬畏的意，在神面前阻止敬虔的心。
	[bbe]	Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.
15:5	[hgb]	你的罪孽指教你的口。你选用诡诈人的舌头。
	[bbe]	For your mouth is guided by your sin, and you have taken the tongue of the false for yourself.
15:6	[hgb]	你自己的口定你有罪，并非是我。你自己的嘴，见证你的不是。
	[bbe]	It is by your mouth, even yours, that you are judged to be in the wrong, and not by me; and your lips give witness against you.
15:7	[hgb]	你岂是头一个被生的人吗？你受造在诸山之先吗？
	[bbe]	Were you the first man to come into the world? or did you come into being before the hills?
15:8	[hgb]	你曾听见神的密旨吗？你还将智慧独自得尽吗？
	[bbe]	Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?
15:9	[hgb]	你知道什么是我们不知道的呢？你明白什么是我们不明白的呢？
	[bbe]	What knowledge have you which we have not? is there anything in your mind which is not in ours?
15:10	[hgb]	我们这里有白发的，和年纪老迈的，比你父亲还老。
	[bbe]	With us are men who are grey-haired and full of years, much older than your father.
15:11	[hgb]	神用温和的话安慰你，你以为太小吗？
	[bbe]	Are the comforts of God not enough for you, and the gentle word which was said to you?
15:12	[hgb]	你的心为何将你逼去。你的眼为何冒出火星。
	[bbe]	Why is your heart uncontrolled, and why are your eyes lifted up;
15:13	[hgb]	使你的灵反对神，也任你的口发这言语。
	[bbe]	So that you are turning your spirit against God, and letting such words go out of your mouth?
15:14	[hgb]	人是什么，竟算为洁净呢？妇人所生的是什么，竟算为义呢？
	[bbe]	What is man, that he may be clean? and how may the son of woman be upright?
15:15	[hgb]	神不信靠他的众圣者。在他眼前，天也不洁净。
	[bbe]	Truly, he puts no faith in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his eyes;
15:16	[hgb]	何况那污秽可憎，喝罪孽如水的世人呢？
	[bbe]	How much less one who is disgusting and unclean, a man who takes in evil like water!
15:17	[hgb]	我指示你，你要听。我要述说所看见的。
	[bbe]	Take note and give ear to my words; and I will say what I have seen:
15:18	[hgb]	就是智慧人从列祖所受，传说而不隐瞒的。
	[bbe]	(The things which wise men have got from their fathers, and have not kept secret from us;
15:19	[hgb]	（这地惟独赐给他们，并没有外人从他们中间经过）。
	[bbe]	For only to them was the land given, and no strange people were among them:)
15:20	[hgb]	恶人一生之日劬劳痛苦，强暴人一生的年数也是如此。
	[bbe]	The evil man is in pain all his days, and the number of the years stored up for the cruel is small.
15:21	[hgb]	惊吓的声音常在他耳中。在平安时，抢夺的必临到他那里。
	[bbe]	A sound of fear is in his ears; in time of peace destruction will come on him:
15:22	[hgb]	他不信自己能从黑暗中转回，他被刀剑等候。
	[bbe]	He has no hope of coming safe out of the dark, and his fate will be the sword;
15:23	[hgb]	他漂流在外求食，说，哪里有食物呢？他知道黑暗的日子，在他手边预备好了。
	[bbe]	He is wandering about in search of bread, saying, Where is it? and he is certain that the day of trouble is ready for him:
15:24	[hgb]	急难困苦叫他害怕，而且胜了他，好像君王预备上阵一样。
	[bbe]	He is greatly in fear of the dark day, trouble and pain overcome him:
15:25	[hgb]	他伸手攻击神，以骄傲攻击全能者。
	[bbe]	Because his hand is stretched out against God, and his heart is lifted up against the Ruler of all,
15:26	[hgb]	挺着颈项，用盾牌的厚凸面，向全能者直闯。
	[bbe]	Running against him like a man of war, covered by his thick breastplate; even like a king ready for the fight,
15:27	[hgb]	是因他的脸蒙上脂油，腰积成肥肉。
	[bbe]	Because his face is covered with fat, and his body has become thick;
15:28	[hgb]	他曾住在荒凉城邑，无人居住，将成乱堆的房屋。
	[bbe]	And he has made his resting-place in the towns which have been pulled down, in houses where no man had a right to be, whose fate was to become masses of broken walls.
15:29	[hgb]	他不得富足，财物不得常存，产业在地上也不加增。
	[bbe]	He does not get wealth for himself, and is unable to keep what he has got; the heads of his grain are not bent down to the earth.
15:30	[hgb]	他不得出离黑暗。火焰要将他的枝子烧干。因神口中的气，他要灭亡（灭亡原文作走去）。
	[bbe]	He does not come out of the dark; his branches are burned by the flame, and the wind takes away his bud.
15:31	[hgb]	他不用倚靠虚假欺哄自己，因虚假必成为他的报应。
	[bbe]	Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.
15:32	[hgb]	他的日期未到之先，这事必成就。他的枝子不得青绿。
	[bbe]	His branch is cut off before its time, and his leaf is no longer green.
15:33	[hgb]	他必像葡萄树的葡萄，未熟而落。又像橄榄树的花，一开而谢。
	[bbe]	He is like a vine whose grapes do not come to full growth, or an olive-tree dropping its flowers.
15:34	[hgb]	原来不敬虔之辈必无生育。受贿赂之人的帐棚必被火烧。
	[bbe]	For the band of the evil-doers gives no fruit, and the tents of those who give wrong decisions for reward are burned with fire.
15:35	[hgb]	他们所怀的是毒害，所生的是罪孽，心里所预备的是诡诈。
	[bbe]	Evil has made them with child, and they give birth to trouble; and the fruit of their body is shame for themselves.
