約伯記-Job 第 8 章

8:1書亞人比勒達回答說,
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
8:2這些話你要說到幾時?口中的言語如狂風要到幾時?
How long will you speak these things? And how long will the words of our mouth be like a mighty wind?
8:3神豈能屈枉公理?全能者豈能屈枉公義?
Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
8:4你的兒女若得罪祂,祂就任憑他們受自己過犯的掌握。
If your children have sinned against Him, He has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
8:5你若殷勤的尋求神,向全能者懇求;
If you seek earnestly after God And make supplication unto the Almighty,
8:6你若純潔正直,祂必定為你興起,使你公義的居所恢複興旺。
If you are pure and upright, Then surely He will rouse Himself for you And restore well-being to your righteous habitation.
8:7你起初雖然微小,終久必甚昌大。
And though your beginning was small, Your end will be very great.
8:8請你查問前代,留意他們列祖所查究的。
For inquire now of the former generation, And attend to what their fathers have sought out.
8:9(我們不過從昨日才有,一無所知,因為我們在地上的日子好像影兒。)
For we are of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days upon the earth are a shadow.
8:10他們豈不指教你,告訴你,從心裏發出言語呢?
Will they not teach you and talk to you And utter forth words from their heart?
8:11蒲草沒有泥沼,豈能生長?蘆荻沒有水,豈能發旺?
Can papyrus shoot up without marsh? Can reeds grow without water?
8:12尚青的時候,還沒有割下,就比百草先枯槁。
While it is still in its greenness and not cut down, It withers before all other grasses.
8:13凡忘記神的人,行徑也是這樣;不虔敬人的指望要滅沒,
So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the profane perishes,
8:14他所仰賴的必折斷,他所倚靠的是蜘蛛網。
Whose confidence is cut off, And whose trust is a spider's web.
8:15他倚靠自己的房屋,房屋卻站立不住;他抓住房屋,房屋卻不能留存。
He leans upon his house, but it will not stand; He holds fast to it, but it will not endure.
8:16他在日光之下滿了汁漿,他的枝苗爬滿了園子。
He is full of sap before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.
8:17他的根盤繞石堆,紮入石地。
His roots are entwined around a stone heap; He looks upon a place of stones.
8:18若有人從本地將他拔除,那地就不認他,說,我沒有見過你。
If one destroys him from his place, Then it denies him, saying, I have not seen you.
8:19看哪,這就是他道路中的喜樂;以後必另有人從塵土中發生。
Indeed, that is the joy of his way; And others spring forth out of the dust.
8:20看哪,神必不丟棄完全人,也不扶助作惡的人。
Indeed, God will not reject a perfect man, Nor will He support evildoers.
8:21祂還要以喜笑充滿你的口,以歡呼充滿你的嘴。
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter And your lips with shouting.
8:22恨惡你的要披戴慚愧,惡人的帳棚必歸於無有。
Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the tent of the wicked will be no more.
