伯30

约伯记-Job 第 30 章

30:1	但如今比我年少的人戏笑我；其人之父，我曾藐视，不肯安在看守我羊群的狗中。 But now those who are younger than I Hold me in derision, Those whose fathers I disdained To put with the dogs of my flock.
30:2	他们壮年的力气既已衰败，其手之力与我何益呢？ Indeed, what good is the strength of their hands to me? Their vigor has perished from them.
30:3	他们因穷乏饥饿，身体枯瘦，在荒废凄凉的幽暗中，啃食于干燥之地； Withered up through want and hunger, They gnaw at the dry ground, A gloom of waste and desolation.
30:4	在草丛之中采咸草，罗腾的根为他们的食物。 They pick the mallow upon the bushes, And the roots of the broom shrub are their food.
30:5	他们从人群中被赶出，人追喊他们如追贼一般； They are driven from the company of men; Men cry after them as after a thief;
30:6	以致他们必须住在极凶险的峡谷之间，在地洞和岩穴之中。 So that they must dwell in the most dreadful ravines, In caves of the earth and in the rocks.
30:7	他们在草丛中叫唤，在荆棘下聚集。 Among the bushes they bray; Under the nettles they huddle.
30:8	这都是愚顽下贱人的儿女；他们被鞭打，赶出境外。 Sons of fools, indeed sons of nameless men, They have been stricken from the land.
30:9	现在我竟成了他们的歌曲，成了他们的笑谈。 And now I have become their song, And I am a byword to them.
30:10	他们厌恶我，远远的离开我；见了面就任意吐唾沫在我脸上。 They abhor me; they stand aloof from me; And they do not withhold their spit from my face.
30:11	神松开绳索苦待我，所以他们在我面前放肆。 For He has loosened my cord and afflicted me; Therefore they have cast off restraint in my presence.
30:12	有下流之辈在我右边起来，推开我的脚，筑起毁坏的路攻击我。 At my right hand a brood rises up; They send my feet running And cast up against me their ways of destruction.
30:13	他们毁坏我的道路，加增我的灾难，对他们却无助益。 They break up my path; They promote my calamity, Though there is no profit to them.
30:14	他们来如同闯进大破口；在废墟中，辊辗而来。 As through a wide breach they come in; Amid the ruin they roll on.
30:15	惊恐攻击我；我的尊荣被赶逐，如同被风吹散，我的兴隆如云过去。 Terrors are turned upon me; My honor is pursued as by a wind, And my prosperity passes away like a cloud.
30:16	现在我里面的魂倾倒出来，极其悲伤；困苦的日子将我抓住。 And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have taken hold of me.
30:17	黑夜将我的骨头刺透，啃我的疼痛毫不止息。 The night rends my bones from me, And my gnawing pains do not rest.
30:18	因神的大力，我的外衣扭折变形，如同里衣的领子将我缠住。 With great force my garments are distorted; It binds me like the collar of my coat.
30:19	神把我扔在淤泥中，我就像尘土和炉灰一般。 He has cast me into the mire, And I am like dust and ashes.
30:20	主阿，我呼求你，你不应允我；我站起来，你就定睛看我。 I cry unto You, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You stare at me.
30:21	你变成以残忍待我，用你手的大能追逼我。 You have turned to become cruel to me; With the might of Your hand You pursue me.
30:22	你把我提在风中，使我驾风而行；又使我消散在风暴之中。 You lift me up into the wind; You make me ride on it; And You dissolve me in the storm.
30:23	我知道你要使我归到死地，到那为众生所定的阴宅。 For I know that You will bring me into death, And to the house appointed for all living.
30:24	然而人仆倒，岂不伸手；遇灾难，岂不呼救呢？ Nevertheless does not a man put forth his hand when he falls, Or because of his disaster therefore cry out?
30:25	日子艰难的，我岂不为他哭泣？穷乏的，我魂岂不为他忧愁？ Did I not weep for him who had hard days? Was my soul not grieved for the needy?
30:26	我期望得福乐，灾祸就到了；我等待光明，黑暗便来了。 When I expected good, evil came; And when I waited for light, darkness came.
30:27	我的心肠扰乱不安，困苦的日子迎我而来。 My inward parts are in turmoil and are not still; Days of affliction have drawn near to me.
30:28	我哀哭而行，黯无日光；我在会中站起来呼救。 I go about in sunless mourning. I rise up in the congregation; I cry for help.
30:29	我与野狗为弟兄，与鸵鸟为同伴。 I am a brother to jackals And a companion to ostriches.
30:30	我的皮肤黑而脱落；我的骨头因热烧焦。 My skin is black and falling from me, And my bones burn with heat.
30:31	所以我的琴音变为悲音，我的箫声变为哭声。 My lyre has become mourning, And my pipe, the voice of those who weep.
