英王钦定本圣经 · 简体 · 上帝版 · 共 25 节
约伯又接着用比喻说:
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
唯愿我的景况如从前的月份,如 上帝保守我的日子。
Oh that I were as [in] months past, as [in] the days [when] God preserved me;
那时他的烛照在我头上;我藉他的光行过黑暗。
When his candle shined upon my head, [and when] by his light I walked [through] darkness;
我愿如幼年的时候:那时我在帐棚中, 上帝待我有密友之情;
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle;
那时 全能者仍与我同在,那时我的儿女都环绕我;
When the Almighty [was] yet with me, [when] my children [were] about me;
那时我用奶油洗我的脚,磐石为我出油成河;
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
那时我出去经过城门,在街上设立自己座位。
When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared my seat in the street!
少年人见我而回避,老年人也起身站立;
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, [and] stood up.
王子都停止说话,用手掩口;
The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their mouth.
首领静默无声,舌头贴住上膛。
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
耳朵听我的,就称我有福;眼睛看我的,都给我作证;
When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me:
因我拯救哀求的困苦人丶无人帮助的和无父的。
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him.
将要灭亡的祝福临到我;我也使寡妇心中欢唱。
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
我以公义为衣服,以公平为外袍和冠冕。
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment [was] as a robe and a diadem.
我为瞎子的眼,瘸子的脚。
I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame.
我为穷乏人的父;素不认识的人,我查明他的案件。
I [was] a father to the poor: and the cause [which] I knew not I searched out.
我打破恶人的腮颊,从他牙齿中夺了所抢的。
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
我便说:我必死在家中,必增添我的日子,多如尘沙。
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply [my] days as the sand.
我的根长到水边;露水终夜沾在我的枝上。
My root [was] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
我的荣耀在身上增新;我的弓在手中日强。
My glory [was] fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
人听见我而仰望,静默等候我的指教。
Unto me [men] gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
我说话之後,他们就不再说;我的言语像雨露滴在他们身上。
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
他们仰望我如仰望雨,又张开口如切慕春雨。
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain.
我若向他们含笑,他们不敢相信;他们不使我脸上的光改变。
[If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
我为他们选择道路,又坐首位;我如君王在军队中居住,又如吊丧的安慰伤心的人。
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one [that] comforteth the mourners.
