9:1
|
约伯回答说：
|
|
|
Then Job answered and said,
|
|
9:2
|
我真知道是这样；但人在神面前怎能成为义呢？
|
|
|
Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God?
|
|
9:3
|
若愿意与他争辩，千中之一也不能回答。
|
|
|
If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
|
|
9:4
|
他心里有智慧，且大有能力。谁向神刚硬而得亨通呢？
|
|
|
[He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?-
|
|
9:5
|
他发怒，把山翻倒挪移，山并不知觉。
|
|
|
[Him] that removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger;
|
|
9:6
|
他使地震动，离其本位，地的柱子就摇撼。
|
|
|
That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble;
|
|
9:7
|
他吩咐日头不出来，就不出来，又封闭众星。
|
|
|
That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars;
|
|
9:8
|
他独自铺张苍天，步行在海浪之上。
|
|
|
That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;
|
|
9:9
|
他造北斗、参星、昴星，并南方的密宫；
|
|
|
That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
|
|
9:10
|
他行大事，不可测度，行奇事，不可胜数。
|
|
|
That doeth great things past finding out, Yea, marvellous things without number.
|
|
9:11
|
他从我旁边经过，我却不看见；他在我面前行走，我倒不知觉。
|
|
|
Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
|
|
9:12
|
他夺取，谁能阻挡？谁敢问他：你做什么？
|
|
|
Behold, he seizeth [the prey], who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
|
|
9:13
|
神必不收回他的怒气；扶助拉哈伯的，屈身在他以下。
|
|
|
God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.
|
|
9:14
|
既是这样，我怎敢回答他，怎敢选择言语与他辩论呢？
|
|
|
How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words [to reason] with him?
|
|
9:15
|
我虽有义，也不回答他，只要向那审判我的恳求。
|
|
|
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.
|
|
9:16
|
我若呼吁，他应允我；我仍不信他真听我的声音。
|
|
|
If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
|
|
9:17
|
他用暴风折断我，无故地加增我的损伤。
|
|
|
For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
|
|
9:18
|
我就是喘一口气，他都不容，倒使我满心苦恼。
|
|
|
He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.
|
|
9:19
|
若论力量，他真有能力！若论审判，他说谁能将我传来呢？
|
|
|
If [we speak] of strength, lo, [he is] mighty! And if of justice, Who, [saith he], will summon me?
|
|
9:20
|
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。
|
|
|
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
|
|
9:21
|
我本完全，不顾自己；我厌恶我的性命。
|
|
|
I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.
|
|
9:22
|
善恶无分，都是一样；所以我说，完全人和恶人，他都灭绝。
|
|
|
It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
|
|
9:23
|
若忽然遭杀害之祸，他必戏笑无辜的人遇难。
|
|
|
If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.
|
|
9:24
|
世界交在恶人手中；蒙蔽世界审判官的脸，若不是他，是谁呢？
|
|
|
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: If [it be] not [he], who then is it?
|
|
9:25
|
我的日子比跑信的更快，急速过去，不见福乐。
|
|
|
Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,
|
|
9:26
|
我的日子过去如快船，如急落抓食的鹰。
|
|
|
They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.
|
|
9:27
|
我若说：我要忘记我的哀情，除去我的愁容，心中畅快；
|
|
|
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my [sad] countenance, and be of good cheer;
|
|
9:28
|
我因愁苦而惧怕，知道你必不以我为无辜。
|
|
|
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
|
|
9:29
|
我必被你定为有罪，我何必徒然劳苦呢？
|
|
|
I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?
|
|
9:30
|
我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手，
|
|
|
If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;
|
|
9:31
|
你还要扔我在坑里，我的衣服都憎恶我。
|
|
|
Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, And mine own clothes shall abhor me.
|
|
9:32
|
他本不像我是人，使我可以回答他，又使我们可以同听审判。
|
|
|
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.
|
|
9:33
|
我们中间没有听讼的人可以向我们两造按手。
|
|
|
There is no umpire betwixt us, That might lay his hand upon us both.
|
|
9:34
|
愿他把杖离开我，不使惊惶威吓我。
|
|
|
Let him take his rod away from me, And let not his terror make me afraid:
|
|
9:35
|
我就说话，也不惧怕他，现在我却不是那样。
|
|
|
Then would I speak, and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.
|
