約伯記 6
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
約伯自述苦況
6 約伯回答說: 2 「唯願我的煩惱稱一稱,我一切的災害放在天平裡! 3 現今都比海沙更重,所以我的言語急躁。 4 因全能者的箭射入我身,其毒,我的靈喝盡了;神的驚嚇擺陣攻擊我。 5 野驢有草豈能叫喚?牛有料豈能吼叫? 6 物淡而無鹽豈可吃嗎?蛋青有什麼滋味呢? 7 看為可厭的食物,我心不肯挨近。
願得死亡
8 「唯願我得著所求的,願神賜我所切望的, 9 就是願神把我壓碎,伸手將我剪除! 10 我因沒有違棄那聖者的言語,就仍以此為安慰,在不止息的痛苦中還可踴躍。 11 我有什麼氣力使我等候?我有什麼結局使我忍耐? 12 我的氣力豈是石頭的氣力?我的肉身豈是銅的呢? 13 在我豈不是毫無幫助嗎?智慧豈不是從我心中趕出淨盡嗎?
責友無慈愛之心
14 「那將要灰心,離棄全能者,不敬畏神的人,他的朋友當以慈愛待他。 15 我的弟兄詭詐,好像溪水,又像溪水流乾的河道。 16 這河因結冰發黑,有雪藏在其中。 17 天氣漸暖就隨時消化,日頭炎熱便從原處乾涸。 18 結伴的客旅離棄大道,順河偏行,到荒野之地死亡。 19 提瑪結伴的客旅瞻望,示巴同夥的人等候。 20 他們因失了盼望就抱愧,來到那裡便蒙羞。 21 現在你們正是這樣,看見驚嚇的事便懼怕。 22 我豈說『請你們供給我,從你們的財物中送禮物給我』? 23 豈說『拯救我脫離敵人的手』嗎?『救贖我脫離強暴人的手』嗎?
請友教導
24 「請你們教導我,我便不作聲,使我明白在何事上有錯。 25 正直的言語力量何其大!但你們責備是責備什麼呢? 26 絕望人的講論既然如風,你們還想要駁正言語嗎? 27 你們想為孤兒拈鬮,以朋友當貨物。 28 現在請你們看看我,我決不當面說謊。 29 請你們轉意,不要不公;請再轉意,我的事有理。 30 我的舌上豈有不義嗎?我的口裡豈不辨奸惡嗎?
Job 6
New International Version
Job
6 Then Job replied:
2 “If only my anguish could be weighed
and all my misery be placed on the scales!(A)
3 It would surely outweigh the sand(B) of the seas—
no wonder my words have been impetuous.(C)
4 The arrows(D) of the Almighty(E) are in me,(F)
my spirit drinks(G) in their poison;(H)
God’s terrors(I) are marshaled against me.(J)
5 Does a wild donkey(K) bray(L) when it has grass,
or an ox bellow when it has fodder?(M)
6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt,
or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow[a]?(N)
7 I refuse to touch it;
such food makes me ill.(O)
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
that God would grant what I hope for,(P)
9 that God would be willing to crush(Q) me,
to let loose his hand and cut off my life!(R)
10 Then I would still have this consolation(S)—
my joy in unrelenting pain(T)—
that I had not denied the words(U) of the Holy One.(V)
11 “What strength do I have, that I should still hope?
What prospects, that I should be patient?(W)
12 Do I have the strength of stone?
Is my flesh bronze?(X)
13 Do I have any power to help myself,(Y)
now that success has been driven from me?
14 “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend(Z)
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.(AA)
15 But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams,(AB)
as the streams that overflow
16 when darkened by thawing ice
and swollen with melting snow,(AC)
17 but that stop flowing in the dry season,
and in the heat(AD) vanish from their channels.
18 Caravans turn aside from their routes;
they go off into the wasteland and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema(AE) look for water,
the traveling merchants of Sheba(AF) look in hope.
20 They are distressed, because they had been confident;
they arrive there, only to be disappointed.(AG)
21 Now you too have proved to be of no help;
you see something dreadful and are afraid.(AH)
22 Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf,
pay a ransom(AI) for me from your wealth,(AJ)
23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy,
rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’?(AK)
24 “Teach me, and I will be quiet;(AL)
show me where I have been wrong.(AM)
25 How painful are honest words!(AN)
But what do your arguments prove?
26 Do you mean to correct what I say,
and treat my desperate words as wind?(AO)
27 You would even cast lots(AP) for the fatherless(AQ)
and barter away your friend.
Job 6
English Standard Version
Job Replies: My Complaint Is Just
6 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Oh that my vexation were weighed,
and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 For then it would be heavier than (A)the sand of the sea;
therefore my words have been rash.
4 For (B)the arrows of the Almighty are in me;
my spirit drinks their poison;
the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass,
or the ox low over his fodder?
6 Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt,
or is there any taste in the juice of the mallow?[a]
7 My appetite refuses to touch them;
they are as food that is loathsome to me.[b]
8 “Oh that I might have my request,
and that God would fulfill my hope,
9 that it would (C)please God to crush me,
that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10 This would be my comfort;
I would even exult[c] in pain (D)unsparing,
for I have not denied the words of (E)the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
13 Have I any help in me,
when resource is driven from me?
14 “He who (F)withholds[d] kindness from a (G)friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My (H)brothers are (I)treacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential (J)streams that pass away,
16 which are dark with ice,
and where the snow hides itself.
17 When they melt, they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into (K)the waste and perish.
19 The caravans of (L)Tema look,
the travelers of (M)Sheba hope.
20 They are (N)ashamed because they were confident;
they come there and are (O)disappointed.
21 For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
22 Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’?
Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?
23 Or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary's hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of (P)the ruthless’?
24 “Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray.
25 How forceful are upright words!
But what does reproof from you reprove?
26 Do you think that you can reprove words,
when the speech of a despairing man is (Q)wind?
27 You would even (R)cast lots over the fatherless,
and bargain over your friend.
28 “But now, be pleased to look at me,
for I will not lie to your face.
29 (S)Please turn; let no injustice be done.
Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
30 Is there any injustice on my tongue?
Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?
