约伯记 Job

9:1	[hgb]	约伯回答说，
	[bbe]	And Job made answer and said,
9:2	[hgb]	我真知道是这样。但人在神面前怎能成为义呢？
	[bbe]	Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?
9:3	[hgb]	若愿意与他争辩，千中之一也不能回答。
	[bbe]	If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.
9:4	[hgb]	他心里有智慧，且大有能力。谁向神刚硬而得亨通呢？
	[bbe]	He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?
9:5	[hgb]	他发怒，把山翻倒挪移，山并不知觉。
	[bbe]	It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath:
9:6	[hgb]	他使地震动，离其本位，地的柱子就摇撼。
	[bbe]	Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking:
9:7	[hgb]	他吩咐日头不出来，就不出来，又封闭众星。
	[bbe]	Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining.
9:8	[hgb]	他独自铺张苍天，步行在海浪之上。
	[bbe]	By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:
9:9	[hgb]	他造北斗，参星，昴星，并南方的密宫。
	[bbe]	Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:
9:10	[hgb]	他行大事，不可测度，行奇事，不可胜数。
	[bbe]	Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.
9:11	[hgb]	他从我旁边经过，我却不看见。他在我面前行走，我倒不知觉。
	[bbe]	See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.
9:12	[hgb]	他夺取，谁能阻挡。谁敢问他，你做什么。
	[bbe]	If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?
9:13	[hgb]	神必不收回他的怒气。扶助拉哈伯的，屈身在他以下。
	[bbe]	God's wrath may not be turned back; the helpers of Rahab were bent down under him.
9:14	[hgb]	既是这样，我怎敢回答他，怎敢选择言语与他辩论呢？
	[bbe]	How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?
9:15	[hgb]	我虽有义，也不回答他。只要向那审判我的恳求。
	[bbe]	Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.
9:16	[hgb]	我若呼吁，他应允我。我仍不信他真听我的声音。
	[bbe]	If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.
9:17	[hgb]	他用暴风折断我，无故地加增我的损伤。
	[bbe]	For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.
9:18	[hgb]	我就是喘一口气，他都不容，倒使我满心苦恼。
	[bbe]	He would not let me take my breath, but I would be full of bitter grief.
9:19	[hgb]	若论力量，他真有能力。若论审判，他说谁能将我传来呢？
	[bbe]	If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?
9:20	[hgb]	我虽有义，自己的口要定我为有罪。我虽完全，我口必显我为弯曲。
	[bbe]	Though I was in the right, he would say that I was in the wrong; I have done no evil; but he says that I am a sinner.
9:21	[hgb]	我本完全，不顾自己。我厌恶我的性命。
	[bbe]	I have done no wrong; I give no thought to what becomes of me; I have no desire for life.
9:22	[hgb]	善恶无分，都是一样。所以我说，完全人和恶人，他都灭绝。
	[bbe]	It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.
9:23	[hgb]	若忽然遭杀害之祸，他必戏笑无辜的人遇难。
	[bbe]	If death comes suddenly through disease, he makes sport of the fate of those who have done no wrong.
9:24	[hgb]	世界交在恶人手中。蒙蔽世界审判官的脸，若不是他，是谁呢？
	[bbe]	The land is given into the power of the evil-doer; the faces of its judges are covered; if not by him, then who has done it?
9:25	[hgb]	我的日子比跑信的更快，急速过去，不见福乐。
	[bbe]	My days go quicker than a post-runner: they go in flight, they see no good.
9:26	[hgb]	我的日子过去如快船，如急落抓食的鹰。
	[bbe]	They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.
9:27	[hgb]	我若说，我要忘记我的哀情，除去我的愁容，心中畅快。
	[bbe]	If I say, I will put my grief out of mind, I will let my face be sad no longer and I will be bright;
9:28	[hgb]	我因愁苦而惧怕，知道你必不以我为无辜。
	[bbe]	I go in fear of all my pains; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes.
9:29	[hgb]	我必被你定为有罪，我何必徒然劳苦呢？
	[bbe]	You will not let me be clear of sin! why then do I take trouble for nothing?
9:30	[hgb]	我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手。
	[bbe]	If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap;
9:31	[hgb]	你还要扔我在坑里，我的衣服都憎恶我。
	[bbe]	Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.
9:32	[hgb]	他本不像我是人，使我可以回答他，又使我们可以同听审判。
	[bbe]	For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge.
9:33	[hgb]	我们中间没有听讼的人，可以向我们两造按手。
	[bbe]	There is no one to give a decision between us, who might have control over us.
9:34	[hgb]	愿他把杖离开我，不使惊惶威吓我。
	[bbe]	Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me:
9:35	[hgb]	我就说话，也不惧怕他，现在我却不是那样。
	[bbe]	Then I would say what is in my mind without fear of him; for there is no cause of fear in myself.
