Job |
| 1叔亞人彼耳達得發言說： |
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied and said: |
| 2你到何時纔停止講話？你且留心，也讓我們說幾句話。 |
2When will you put an end to words? Reflect, and then we can have discussion. |
| 3你為何以我們為走獸，視我們為畜牲？ |
3Why are we accounted like the beasts, their equals in your sight? |
| 4因了你的憤怒，你必粉身碎骨！為了你，難道大地要被遺棄，盤石要轉離原處？ |
4 You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be neglected on your account (or the rock be moved out of its place)? |
| 5惡人的光必要熄滅，他的火炎必不發亮。 |
5Truly, the light of the wicked is extinguished; no flame brightens his hearth. |
| 6他帳幕內的光必變暗淡，懸在上面的燈必要熄滅。 |
6The light is darkened in his tent; in spite of him, his lamp goes out. |
| 7他強健的腳步要躊躇不前，他的計謀必使自己顛仆。 |
7His vigorous steps are hemmed in, and his own counsel casts him down. |
| 8因為他的腳要走入羅網，徘徊於陷阱之上。 |
8For he rushes headlong into a net, and he wanders into a pitfall. |
| 9圈套要纏住他的腳跟，樊籠要拘禁他。 |
9A trap seizes him by the heel, and a snare lays hold of him. |
| 10絆他的繩索埋藏在地下，捉他的陷阱暗設在途中。 |
10A noose for him is hid on the ground, and the toils for him on the way. |
| 11恐怖由四周來恐嚇他，在他腳後緊緊跟蹤他。 |
11On every side terrors affright him; they harry him at each step. |
| 12饑餓常陪伴着他，災禍不離他身旁。 |
12Disaster is ready at his side, |
| 13疾病腐蝕他的皮膚，死亡的長子耗盡他的肢體。 |
13 the first-born of death consumes his limbs. |
| 14他必由所仰仗的帳幕中被拖出，被引到可怕的君王面前。 |
14 Fiery destruction lodges in his tent, and marches him off to the king of terrors. He is plucked from the security of his tent; |
| 15魑魅要住在他的帳幕中，硫磺散布在他的居所之上。 |
15over his abode brimstone is scattered. |
| 16他下面的根要枯乾，他上面的枝葉要凋謝。 |
16Below, his roots dry up, and above, his branches wither. |
| 17他的紀念必由地上消滅，他的名字必不傳於街市。 |
17His memory perishes from the land, and he has no name on the earth. |
| 18他將由光明被驅入黑暗，他將從世上被趕走。 |
18He is driven from light into darkness, and banished out of the world. |
| 19他在本族中無子無孫，在他寄居之地沒有留下一人。 |
19He has neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any survior where once he dwelt. |
| 20他的末日，西方人都為之驚訝，東方人都為之恐怖。 |
20They who come after shall be appalled at his fate; they who went before are struck with horror. |
| 21的確，這就是惡人的結局，這就是不認識天主者的境遇。 |
21So is it then with the dwelling of the impious man, and such is the place of him who knows not God! |
