约伯记 Job

7:1	[hgb]	人在世上岂无争战吗？他的日子不像雇工人的日子吗？
	[bbe]	Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?
7:2	[hgb]	像奴仆切慕黑影，像雇工人盼望工价。
	[bbe]	As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:
7:3	[hgb]	我也照样经过困苦的日月，夜间的疲乏为我而定。
	[bbe]	So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.
7:4	[hgb]	我躺卧的时候便说，我何时起来，黑夜就过去呢？我尽是反来覆去，直到天亮。
	[bbe]	When I go to my bed, I say, When will it be time to get up? but the night is long, and I am turning from side to side till morning light.
7:5	[hgb]	我的肉体以虫子和尘土为衣。我的皮肤才收了口又重新破裂。
	[bbe]	My flesh is covered with worms and dust; my skin gets hard and then is cracked again.
7:6	[hgb]	我的日子比梭更快，都消耗在无指望之中。
	[bbe]	My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope.
7:7	[hgb]	求你想念，我的生命不过是一口气。我的眼睛必不再见福乐。
	[bbe]	O, keep in mind that my life is wind: my eye will never again see good.
7:8	[hgb]	观看我的人，他的眼必不再见我。你的眼目要看我，我却不在了。
	[bbe]	The eye of him who sees me will see me no longer: your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone.
7:9	[hgb]	云彩消散而过。照样，人下阴间也不再上来。
	[bbe]	A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again.
7:10	[hgb]	他不再回自己的家，故土也不再认识他。
	[bbe]	He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.
7:11	[hgb]	我不禁止我口。我灵愁苦，要发出言语。我心苦恼，要吐露哀情。
	[bbe]	So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.
7:12	[hgb]	我对神说，我岂是洋海，岂是大鱼，你竟防守我呢？
	[bbe]	Am I a sea, or a sea-beast, that you put a watch over me?
7:13	[hgb]	若说，我的床必安慰我，我的榻必解释我的苦情。
	[bbe]	When I say, In my bed I will have comfort, there I will get rest from my disease;
7:14	[hgb]	你就用梦惊骇我，用异象恐吓我。
	[bbe]	Then you send dreams to me, and visions of fear;
7:15	[hgb]	甚至我宁肯噎死，宁肯死亡，胜似留我这一身的骨头。
	[bbe]	So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains.
7:16	[hgb]	我厌弃性命，不愿永活。你任凭我吧，因我的日子都是虚空。
	[bbe]	I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.
7:17	[hgb]	人算什么，你竟看他为大，将他放在心上，
	[bbe]	What is man, that you have made him great, and that your attention is fixed on him,
7:18	[hgb]	每早鉴察他，时刻试验他。
	[bbe]	And that your hand is on him every morning, and that you are testing him every minute?
7:19	[hgb]	你到何时才转眼不看我，才任凭我咽下唾沫呢？
	[bbe]	How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?
7:20	[hgb]	鉴察人的主阿，我若有罪，于你何妨？为何以我当你的箭靶子，使我厌弃自己的性命？
	[bbe]	If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?
7:21	[hgb]	为何不赦免我的过犯，除掉我的罪孽。我现今要躺卧在尘土中。你要殷勤地寻找我，我却不在了。
	[bbe]	And why do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.
