约伯记 Job

16:1	[hgb]	约伯回答说，
	[bbe]	And Job made answer and said,
16:2	[hgb]	这样的话我听了许多。你们安慰人，反叫人愁烦。
	[bbe]	Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.
16:3	[hgb]	虚空的言语有穷尽吗？有什么话惹动你回答呢？
	[bbe]	May words which are like the wind be stopped? or what is troubling you to make answer to them?
16:4	[hgb]	我也能说你们那样的话。你们若处在我的境遇，我也会联络言语攻击你们，又能向你们摇头。
	[bbe]	It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:
16:5	[hgb]	但我必用口坚固你们，用嘴消解你们的忧愁。
	[bbe]	I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips.
16:6	[hgb]	我虽说话，忧愁仍不得消解。我虽停住不说，忧愁就离开我吗？
	[bbe]	If I say what is in my mind, my pain becomes no less: and if I keep quiet, how much of it goes from me?
16:7	[hgb]	但现在神使我困倦，使亲友远离我。
	[bbe]	But now he has overcome me with weariness and fear, and I am in the grip of all my trouble.
16:8	[hgb]	又抓住我，作见证攻击我。我身体的枯瘦，也当面见证我的不是。
	[bbe]	It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.
16:9	[hgb]	主发怒撕裂我，逼迫我，向我切齿。我的敌人怒目看我。
	[bbe]	I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes;
16:10	[hgb]	他们向我开口，打我的脸羞辱我，聚会攻击我。
	[bbe]	Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.
16:11	[hgb]	神把我交给不敬虔的人，把我扔到恶人的手中。
	[bbe]	God gives me over to the power of sinners, sending me violently into the hands of evil-doers.
16:12	[hgb]	我素来安逸，他折断我，掐住我的颈项，把我摔碎。又立我为他的箭靶子。
	[bbe]	I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows.
16:13	[hgb]	他的弓箭手四面围绕我。他破裂我的肺腑，并不留情，把我的胆倾倒在地上，
	[bbe]	His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.
16:14	[hgb]	将我破裂又破裂，如同勇士向我直闯。
	[bbe]	I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war.
16:15	[hgb]	我缝麻布在我皮肤上，把我的角放在尘土中。
	[bbe]	I have made haircloth the clothing of my skin, and my horn is rolled in the dust.
16:16	[hgb]	我的脸因哭泣发紫，在我的眼皮上有死荫。
	[bbe]	My face is red with weeping, and my eyes are becoming dark;
16:17	[hgb]	我的手中却无强暴。我的祈祷也是清洁。
	[bbe]	Though my hands have done no violent acts, and my prayer is clean.
16:18	[hgb]	地阿，不要遮盖我的血。不要阻挡我的哀求。
	[bbe]	O earth, let not my blood be covered, and let my cry have no resting-place!
16:19	[hgb]	现今，在天有我的见证，在上有我的中保。
	[bbe]	Even now my witness is in heaven, and the supporter of my cause is on high.
16:20	[hgb]	我的朋友讥诮我，我却向神眼泪汪汪。
	[bbe]	My friends make sport of me; to God my eyes are weeping,
16:21	[hgb]	愿人得与神辩白，如同人与朋友辩白一样。
	[bbe]	So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour.
16:22	[hgb]	因为再过几年，我必走那往而不返之路。
	[bbe]	For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.
