约伯记 Job

31:1	[hgb]	我与眼睛立约，怎能恋恋瞻望处女呢？
	[bbe]	I made an agreement with my eyes; how then might my eyes be looking on a virgin?
31:2	[hgb]	从至上的神所得之分，从至高全能者所得之业，是什么呢？
	[bbe]	For what is God's reward from on high, or the heritage given by the Ruler of all from heaven?
31:3	[hgb]	岂不是祸患临到不义的，灾害临到作孽的呢？
	[bbe]	Is it not trouble for the sinner, and destruction for the evil-doers?
31:4	[hgb]	神岂不是察看我的道路，数点我的脚步呢？
	[bbe]	Does he not see my ways, and are not my steps all numbered?
31:5	[hgb]	我若与虚谎同行，脚若追随诡诈。
	[bbe]	If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;
31:6	[hgb]	我若被公道的天平称度，使神可以知道我的纯正。
	[bbe]	(Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness:)
31:7	[hgb]	我的脚步若偏离正路，我的心若随着我的眼目，若有玷污粘在我手上。
	[bbe]	If my steps have been turned out of the way, or if my heart went after my eyes, or if the property of another is in my hands;
31:8	[hgb]	就愿我所种的有别人吃，我田所产的被拔出来。
	[bbe]	Let me put seed in the earth for another to have the fruit of it, and let my produce be uprooted.
31:9	[hgb]	我若受迷惑，向妇人起淫念，在邻舍的门外蹲伏。
	[bbe]	If my heart went after another man's wife, or if I was waiting secretly at my neighbour's door;
31:10	[hgb]	就愿我的妻子给别人推磨，别人也与她同室。
	[bbe]	Then let my wife give pleasure to another man and let others make use of her body.
31:11	[hgb]	因为这是大罪，是审判官当罚的罪孽。
	[bbe]	For that would be a crime; it would be an act for which punishment would be measured out by the judges:
31:12	[hgb]	这本是火焚烧，直到毁灭，必拔除我所有的家产。
	[bbe]	It would be a fire burning even to destruction, and taking away all my produce.
31:13	[hgb]	我的仆婢与我争辩的时候，我若藐视不听他们的情节。
	[bbe]	If I did wrong in the cause of my man-servant, or my woman-servant, when they went to law with me;
31:14	[hgb]	神兴起，我怎样行呢？他察问，我怎样回答呢？
	[bbe]	What then will I do when God comes as my judge? and what answer may I give to his questions?
31:15	[hgb]	造我在腹中的，不也是造他吗？将他与我抟在腹中的，岂不是一位吗？
	[bbe]	Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?
31:16	[hgb]	我若不容贫寒人得其所愿，或叫寡妇眼中失望，
	[bbe]	If I kept back the desire of the poor; if the widow's eye was looking for help to no purpose;
31:17	[hgb]	或独自吃我一点食物，孤儿没有与我同吃。
	[bbe]	If I kept my food for myself, and did not give some of it to the child with no father;
31:18	[hgb]	（从幼年时孤儿与我同长，好像父子一样。我从出母腹就扶助寡妇）。（扶助原文作引领）
	[bbe]	(For I was cared for by God as by a father from my earliest days; he was my guide from the body of my mother;)
31:19	[hgb]	我若见人因无衣死亡，或见穷乏人身无遮盖。
	[bbe]	If I saw one near to death for need of clothing, and that the poor had nothing covering him;
31:20	[hgb]	我若不使他因我羊的毛得暖，为我祝福。
	[bbe]	If his back did not give me a blessing, and the wool of my sheep did not make him warm;
31:21	[hgb]	我若在城门口见有帮助我的，举手攻击孤儿。
	[bbe]	If my hand had been lifted up against him who had done no wrong, when I saw that I was supported by the judges;
31:22	[hgb]	情愿我的肩头从缺盆骨脱落，我的膀臂从羊矢骨折断。
	[bbe]	May my arm be pulled from my body, and be broken from its base.
31:23	[hgb]	因神降的灾祸使我恐惧。因他的威严，我不能妄为。
	[bbe]	For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.
31:24	[hgb]	我若以黄金为指望，对精金说，你是我的倚靠。
	[bbe]	If I made gold my hope, or if I ever said to the best gold, I have put my faith in you;
31:25	[hgb]	我若因财物丰裕，因我手多得资财而欢喜。
	[bbe]	If I was glad because my wealth was great, and because my hand had got together a great store;
31:26	[hgb]	我若见太阳发光，明月行在空中，
	[bbe]	If, when I saw the sun shining, and the moon moving on its bright way,
31:27	[hgb]	心就暗暗被引诱，口便亲手。
	[bbe]	A secret feeling of worship came into my heart, and my hand gave kisses from my mouth;
31:28	[hgb]	这也是审判官当罚的罪孽，又是我背弃在上的神。
	[bbe]	That would have been another sin to be rewarded with punishment by the judges; for I would have been false to God on high.
31:29	[hgb]	我若见恨我的遭报就欢喜，见他遭灾便高兴。
	[bbe]	If I was glad at the trouble of my hater, and gave cries of joy when evil overtook him;
31:30	[hgb]	（我没有容口犯罪，咒诅他的生命）
	[bbe]	(For I did not let my mouth give way to sin, in putting a curse on his life;)
31:31	[hgb]	若我帐棚的人未尝说，谁不以主人的食物吃饱呢？
	[bbe]	If the men of my tent did not say, Who has not had full measure of his meat?
31:32	[hgb]	（从来我没有容客旅在街上住宿，却开门迎接行路的人）
	[bbe]	The traveller did not take his night's rest in the street, and my doors were open to anyone on a journey;
31:33	[hgb]	我若像亚当（亚当或作别人）遮掩我的过犯，将罪孽藏在怀中。
	[bbe]	If I kept my evil doings covered, and my sin in the secret of my breast,
31:34	[hgb]	因惧怕大众，又因宗族藐视我使我惊恐，以致闭口无言，杜门不出。
	[bbe]	For fear of the great body of people, or for fear that families might make sport of me, so that I kept quiet, and did not go out of my door;
31:35	[hgb]	惟愿有一位肯听我。（看哪，在这里有我所划的押，愿全能者回答我）
	[bbe]	If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!
31:36	[hgb]	愿那敌我者，所写的状词在我这里，我必带在肩上，又绑在头上为冠冕。
	[bbe]	Truly I would take up the book in my hands; it would be to me as a crown;
31:37	[hgb]	我必向他述说我脚步的数目，必如君王进到他面前。
	[bbe]	I would make clear the number of my steps, I would put it before him like a prince! The words of Job are ended.
31:38	[hgb]	我若夺取田地，这地向我喊冤，犁沟一同哭泣。
	[bbe]	If my land has made an outcry against me, or the ploughed earth has been in sorrow;
31:39	[hgb]	我若吃地的出产不给价值，或叫原主丧命。
	[bbe]	If I have taken its produce without payment, causing the death of its owners;
31:40	[hgb]	愿这地长蒺藜代替麦子，长恶草代替大麦。约伯的话说完了。
	[bbe]	Then in place of grain let thorns come up, and in place of barley evil-smelling plants.
