約伯記 30 – CCBT & KJV

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

約伯記 30:1-31

哀歎今日的痛苦

1「但如今,比我年少的人竟嘲笑我,

他們的父親曾被我鄙視,

連我的牧羊犬都不如。

2他們精力衰竭,

對我有何益處?

3他們貧窮饑餓,瘦弱不堪,

夜間在乾旱荒涼之地啃食。

4他們在草叢中拔鹹草充饑,

以羅騰樹根為食。

5他們被趕離人群,

像賊一樣被喝斥。

6他們只好住在荒谷,

在地洞和岩穴棲身;

7在雜草間嚎叫如獸,

在樹叢中蜷縮一團。

8他們是愚昧無名之輩,

被人用鞭子趕出境外。

9「如今,他們竟唱歌諷刺我,

我成了他們的笑柄。

10他們厭惡我,不願靠近我,

任意朝我臉上吐唾沫。

11因為上帝苦待我,使我毫無力量,

他們才在我面前肆無忌憚。

12這些無賴從右邊攻擊我,

迫使我逃亡,

他們展開攻勢要毀滅我。

13他們截斷我的路,

想方設法害我,無人相助。

14他們衝破防線,

從廢墟中向我襲來。

15恐懼籠罩著我,

我的尊榮隨風而去,

我的榮華如雲消散。

16「如今我的生命將盡,

痛苦的日子抓住我。

17夜間我的骨頭刺痛,

如被啃噬,無休無止。

18上帝猛力抓住我的衣服,

緊緊地揪住我的衣領。

19祂把我扔進淤泥,

使我如塵埃灰燼。

20「上帝啊!我向你呼求,你不回應;

我站起來,你也不理睬。

21你變得對我殘酷無情,

用你大能的手迫害我,

22把我提到風中,讓我被風吹走,

被暴風拋來拋去。

23我知道你要帶我去死亡之地,

那是你為眾生所定的歸宿。

24「誠然,不幸的人在困境中呼救,

無人會伸手加害他。

25難道我不曾為受苦的人哭泣,

我的心不曾為窮困者悲傷嗎?

26我盼望幸福,來的卻是災禍;

我期待光明,來的卻是黑暗。

27我心裡一直煩亂不安,

苦難的日子迎面襲來。

28我皮膚發黑,不是因為日曬,

我在會眾中站起來呼救。

29我成了豺狼的兄弟,

駝鳥的夥伴。

30我的皮膚發黑、脫落,

我的骨頭如被烤焦。

31我的琴唱出哀樂,

我的簫奏出悲鳴。

King James Version

Job 30:1-31

1But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.30.1 younger…: Heb. of fewer days than I 2Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished? 3For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.30.3 solitary: or, dark as the night30.3 in…: Heb. yesternight 4Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat. 5They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;) 6To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.30.6 caves: Heb. holes 7Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. 8They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.30.8 base…: Heb. men of no name 9And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. 10They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.30.10 and…: Heb. and withhold not spittle from 11Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. 12Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. 13They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. 14They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

15Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.30.15 my soul: Heb. my principal one 16And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. 17My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest. 18By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. 19He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. 20I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. 21Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.30.21 become…: Heb. turned to be cruel30.21 thy…: Heb. the strength of thy hand 22Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.30.22 substance: or, wisdom 23For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. 24Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.30.24 grave: Heb. heap 25Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?30.25 in trouble: Heb. hard of day? 26When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. 27My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. 28I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation. 29I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.30.29 owls: or, ostriches 30My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. 31My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
