约伯记 Job 13

1 "Behold, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.
1 这一切,我眼都见过。我耳都听过,而且明白。

2 What you know I also know; I am not inferior to you.
2 你们所知道的,我也知道,并非不及你们。

3 But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue with God.
3 我真要对全能者说话。我愿与神理论。

4 But you smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.
4 你们是编造谎言的,都是无用的医生。

5 O that you would be completely silent, and that it would become your wisdom!
5 惟愿你们全然不作声。这就算为你们的智慧。

6 Please hear my argument and listen to the contentions of my lips.
6 请你们听我的辩论,留心听我口中的分诉。

7 Will you speak what is unjust for God, and speak what is deceitful for Him?
7 你们要为神说不义的话吗,为他说诡诈的言语吗。

8 Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?
8 你们要为神徇情吗,要为他争论吗。

9 Will it be well when He examines you? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
9 他查出你们来,这岂是好吗。人欺哄人,你们也要照样欺哄他吗。

10 He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality.
10 你们若暗中徇情,他必要责备你们。

11 Will not His majesty terrify you, and the dread of Him fall on you?
11 他的尊荣岂不叫你们惧怕吗。他的惊吓岂不临到你们吗。

12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, your defenses are defenses of clay.
12 你们以为可记念的箴言是炉灰的箴言。你们以为可靠的坚垒是淤泥的坚垒。

13 "Be silent before me so that I may speak; then let come on me what may.
13 你们不要作声,任凭我吧。让我说话,无论如何我都承当。

14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hands?
14 我何必把我的肉挂在牙上,将我的命放在手中。

15 Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.
15 他必杀我。我虽无指望,然而我在他面前还要辩明我所行的。

16 This also will be my salvation, for a godless man may not come before His presence.
16 这要成为我的拯救,因为不虔诚的人,不得到他面前。

17 Listen carefully to my speech, and let my declaration fill your ears.
17 你们要细听我的言语,使我所辩论的入你们的耳中。

18 Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.
18 我已陈明我的案,知道自己有义。

19 Who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.
19 有谁与我争论,我就情愿缄默不言,气绝而亡。

20 Only two things do not do to me, then I will not hide from Your face:
20 惟有两件不要向我施行,我就不躲开你的面。

21 Remove Your hand from me, and let not the dread of You terrify me.
21 就是把你的手缩回,远离我身。又不使你的惊惶威吓我。

22 Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, then reply to me.
22 这样,你呼叫,我就回答。或是让我说话,你回答我。

23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my transgression and my sin.
23 我的罪孽和罪过有多少呢。求你叫我知道我的过犯与罪愆。

24 Why do You hide Your face and consider me Your enemy?
24 你为何掩面,拿我当仇敌呢。

25 Will You cause a driven leaf to tremble? Or will You pursue dry chaff?
25 你要惊动被风吹的叶子吗。要追赶枯干的碎秸吗。

26 For You write bitter things against me and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
26 你按罪状刑罚我,又使我担当幼年的罪孽。

27 You put my feet in the stocks and watch all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet,
27 也把我的脚上了木狗,并窥察我一切的道路,为我的脚掌划定界限。

28 While I am decaying like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
28 我已经像灭绝的烂物,像虫蛀的衣裳。
