约伯记 Job 6

1 Then Job answered,
1 约伯回答说，

2 "Oh that my grief were actually weighed and laid in the balances together with my calamity!
2 惟愿我的烦恼称一称，我一切的灾害放在天平里。

3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words have been rash.
3 现今都比海沙更重，所以我的言语急躁。

4 Because the arrows of the Almighty are within me, their poison my spirit drinks; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
4 因全能者的箭射入我身，其毒，我的灵喝尽了。神的惊吓摆阵攻击我。

5 Does the wild donkey bray over its grass, or the ox low over its fodder?
5 野驴有草岂能叫唤，牛有料岂能吼叫。

6 Can something tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
6 物淡而无盐岂可吃吗，蛋青有什么滋味呢。

7 My soul refuses to touch them; they are like loathsome food to me.
7 看为可厌的食物，我心不肯挨近。

8 "Oh that my request might come to pass, and that God would grant my longing!
8 惟愿我得着所求的，愿神赐我所切望的。

9 Would that God were willing to crush me, that He would loose His hand and cut me off!
9 就是愿神把我压碎，伸手将我剪除。

10 But it is still my consolation, and I rejoice in unsparing pain, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
10 我因没有违弃那圣者的言语，就仍以此为安慰，在不止息的痛苦中还可踊跃。

11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should endure?
11 我有什么气力使我等候。我有什么结局使我忍耐。

12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
12 我的气力岂是石头的气力。我的肉身岂是铜的呢。

13 Is it that my help is not within me, and that deliverance is driven from me?
13 在我岂不是毫无帮助吗。智慧岂不是从我心中赶出净尽吗。

14 "For the despairing man, kindness from his friend is due, but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
14 那将要灰心、离弃全能者、不敬畏神的人，他的朋友当以慈爱待他。

15 My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi, like the torrents of wadis which vanish,
15 我的弟兄诡诈，好像溪水，又像溪水流干的河道。

16 which are turbid because of ice and into which the snow melts.
16 这河因结冰发黑，有雪藏在其中。

17 When they become waterless, they are silent; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
17 天气渐暖就随时消化，日头炎热便从原处干涸。

18 The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste and perish.
18 结伴的客旅离弃大道，顺河偏行，到荒野之地死亡。

19 The caravans of Tema looked, the travelers of Sheba hoped for them.
19 提玛结伴的客旅瞻望。示巴同伙的人等候。

20 They were disappointed for they had trusted; they came there and were confounded.
20 他们因失了盼望就抱愧，来到那里便蒙羞。

21 Indeed, you have now become such; you see a terror and are afraid.
21 现在你们正是这样，看见惊吓的事便惧怕。

22 Have I said, 'Give me something,' or, 'Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,'
22 我岂说，请你们供给我，从你们的财物中送礼物给我。

23 or, 'Deliver me from the hand of the adversary,' or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants'?
23 岂说，拯救我脱离敌人的手吗。救赎我脱离强暴人的手吗。

24 "Teach me, and I will be silent; and show me how I have erred.
24 请你们教导我，我便不作声。使我明白在何事上有错。

25 How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?
25 正直的言语力量何其大。但你们责备是责备什么呢。

26 Do you intend to reprove my words, when the speeches of one in despair are as wind?
26 绝望人的讲论既然如风，你们还想要驳正言语吗。

27 You would even cast lots for the orphan and barter over your friend.
27 你们想为孤儿拈阄，以朋友当货物。

28 "Now please look at me, and see if I lie to your face.
28 现在请你们看看我，我决不当面说谎。

29 Desist now, let there be no injustice; even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.
29 请你们转意，不要不公。请再转意，我的事有理。

30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern calamitous things?"
30 我的舌上岂有不义吗。我的口里岂不辨奸恶吗。
