约伯回答说:
Then Job answered and said,
我真知道是这样;但人在 上帝面前怎能成为义呢?
I know [it is] so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
若愿意与他争辩,千中之一也不能回答。
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
他心里有智慧,且大有能力。谁向 上帝刚硬而得亨通呢?
[He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened [himself] against him, and hath prospered?
他发怒,把山翻倒挪移,山并不知觉。
Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
他使地摇动,离其本位,地的柱子就颤动。
Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
他吩咐日头不出来,就不出来,又封闭众星。
Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
他独自铺张诸天,踏在海浪之上。
Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
他造北斗丶参星丶昴星,并南方的密宫;
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
他行大事,不可测度,行奇事,不可胜数。
Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
他从我旁边经过,我却不看见;他在我面前行走,我倒不知觉。
Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
看哪,他取去,谁能阻挡?谁敢问他:你作甚麽?
Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
若 上帝不收回他的怒气,扶助骄傲人的必屈身在他以下。
[If] God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
既是这样,我怎敢回答他,怎敢选择言语与他辩论呢?
How much less shall I answer him, [and] choose out my words [to reason] with him?
我虽有义,也不回话,只要向那审判我的恳求。
Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer, [but] I would make supplication to my judge.
我若呼求,他应允我;我仍不信他真听我的声音。
If I had called, and he had answered me; [yet] would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
他用暴风折断我,无故地加增我的损伤。
For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
我就是喘一口气,他都不容,倒使我满心苦恼。
He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
若论力量,看哪,他真有能力。若论审判,谁为我定期,让我辩白呢?
If [I speak] of strength, lo, [he is] strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time [to plead]?
我若自义,自己的口要定我为有罪;我若说我完全,我口必显我为弯曲。
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: [if I say], I [am] perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
我虽完全,仍不知道自己的心;我轻贱我的性命。
[Though] I [were] perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
善恶无分,都是一样;所以我说,完全人和恶人,他都灭绝。
This [is] one [thing], therefore I said [it], He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
若忽然遭杀害之祸,他必戏笑无辜的人遇难。
If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
世界交在恶人手中;蒙蔽世界审判官的脸,若不是他,是谁呢?他在哪里呢?
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, [and] who [is] he?
我的日子比跑信的更快,急速逃去,不见福乐。
Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
我的日子过去如快船,如急落抓食的鹰。
They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle [that] hasteth to the prey.
我若说:我要忘记我的哀情,除去我的愁苦,安慰自己;
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort [myself]:
我因愁苦而惧怕,知道你必不以我为无辜。
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
我若被定为恶人,我何必徒然劳苦呢?
[If] I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
我若用雪水洗身,使我的手未曾如此洁净,
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
你还要扔我在阱里,我的衣服都憎恶我。
Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
他本不像我是人,使我可以回答他,又使我们可以同听审判。
For [he is] not a man, as I [am, that] I should answer him, [and] we should come together in judgment.
我们中间没有听讼的人可以向我们两造按手。
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both.
愿他把杖离开我,不使惊惶威吓我。
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
我就说话,也不惧怕他,现在我却不是那样。
[Then] would I speak, and not fear him; but [it is] not so with me.
