伯20

約伯記-Job 第 20 章

20:1	拿瑪人瑣法回答說， Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
20:2	為此，我煩擾的思念叫我回答；我的裏麵急躁。 Because of this, my disquieting thoughts answer me; And hence my haste is in me.
20:3	我聽見那羞辱我、責備我的話；我的靈憑我的悟性叫我回答。 I hear the reproof that humiliates me, And the spirit of my understanding answers me.
20:4	你豈不知亙古以來，自從人被安置在地上， Do you not know this from of old, Since man was set upon the earth,
20:5	惡人的歡呼是短暫的，不虔敬人的喜樂不過轉眼之間麼？ That the joyous shouting of the wicked is short, And the rejoicing of the profane is but for a moment?
20:6	他的高傲雖達到天上，頭雖頂到雲中； Though his arrogance goes up to heaven, And his head touches the clouds;
20:7	他必永遠滅亡，像自己的糞一樣；素來見他的人要說，他在那裏呢？ Like his own dung he perishes forever; Those who have seen him say, Where is he?
20:8	他必如夢飛去，不被尋見；他被趕逐如夜間的異象。 Like a dream he flies away and is not found; Indeed he is chased away like a vision of the night.
20:9	親眼見過他的，必不再看見他；他的本處，也再見不著他。 The eye looks on him then sees him no more, Nor does his place observe him anymore.
20:10	他的兒女要求窮人的恩惠，他的手要賠還不義之財。 His children seek the favor of the poor, And his hands return his wealth.
20:11	他的骨頭雖滿有青年之力，卻要和他一同躺臥在塵土中。 His bones are full of youthful vigor, Yet it lies down with him in the dust.
20:12	邪惡在他口中雖然甘甜，他將其藏於舌下， Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, Though he hides it under his tongue,
20:13	愛戀不舍，含在口中； Though he favors it and will not forsake it, But holds it in his mouth;
20:14	他的食物在肚腹裏，要起變化，在他裏麵成為虺蛇的惡毒。 His food in his bowels is changed; It is the venom of asps within him.
20:15	他吞了財寶，還要吐出；神要從他腹中掏出來。 He swallows down riches and vomits them up; God casts them forth from his stomach.
20:16	他必吸虺蛇的毒；蝮蛇的舌頭也必殺他。 He sucks the poison of asps; The tongue of the viper slays him.
20:17	他不得再見河川，就是流蜜與奶油之河。 He will not look on the rivers, The streams flowing with honey and butter.
20:18	他勞碌得來的要賠還，不得享用；不能照交易所得的財貨歡樂。 He will return what he toiled for and will not swallow it down; And he will not rejoice according to the wealth of his trading.
20:19	他欺壓、離棄窮人；強取非自己所蓋的房屋。 For he has oppressed and abandoned the poor; He has violently seized a house that he did not build.
20:20	他因貪得無厭，所喜悅的連一樣也不能保全。 Because he knew no respite in his craving, Of that which he desired he will save nothing.
20:21	他所吞吃的，沒有一樣餘剩；所以他的福樂不能持久。 There will be nothing left of what he has devoured; Thus his prosperity will not endure.
20:22	他在充足滿盈的時候，必成為困苦；凡受苦楚的人，都必加手在他身上。 In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be distressed; The hand of everyone in trouble will come against him.
20:23	神必將猛烈的忿怒降在他身上，像雨降在他身上，作他的食物，充滿他的肚腹。 In order to fill his belly, God will send the burning fierceness of His wrath on him And will rain it upon him as his food.
20:24	他要躲避鐵製的兵器，但銅弓的箭要將他射透。 He will flee from the iron weapon, But the bronze bow will strike him through.
20:25	他一抽，箭就從他身上出來；發光的箭頭，從他膽中出來；有驚惶臨到他身上。 He draws the arrow out, and it comes out of his body; Indeed the glittering point goes forth from his gall. Terrors come upon him.
20:26	有全般的黑暗存留，作他的財寶；有非人所吹的火，要把他燒滅，把他帳棚中所剩下的燒毀。 Total darkness is laid up as his treasures; A fire not fanned by man will devour him; It will feed on what is left in his tent.
20:27	天要顯明他的罪孽，地要興起攻擊他。 The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him.
20:28	他家所累增的必被遷去，在神發怒的日子，必被衝沒。 The increase of his house will depart As things swept away in the day of His wrath.
20:29	這是惡人從神所得的分，是神命定給他的產業。 This is the wicked man's portion from God And the inheritance decreed to him by God.
