約伯記 18
1 叔亞人彼耳達得發言說：
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 你到何時纔停止講話﹖你且留心，也讓我們說幾句話。
"How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3 你為何以我們為走獸，視我們為畜牲﹖
Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean 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﹖
You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
5 惡人的光必要熄滅，他的火炎必不發亮。
"Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 他帳幕內的光必變暗淡，懸在上面的燈必要熄滅。
The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.
7 他強健的腳步要躊躇不前，他的計謀必使自己顛仆。
The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.
8 因為他的腳要走入羅網，徘徊於陷阱之上。
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
9 圈套要纏住他的腳跟，攀籠要拘禁他。
A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10 絆住他的繩索埋藏在地下，捉他的陷阱暗設在途中。
A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the way.
11 恐怖由四周來恐嚇他，在他腳後緊緊跟蹤他。
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.
12 饑餓常陪伴著他，災禍不離他身旁。
His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.
13 疾病腐蝕他的皮膚，死亡的長子耗盡他的肢體。
The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.
14 他必由所仰仗的帳幕中被拖出，被引到可怕的君王面前。
He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.
15 魑魅要住在他的帳幕中，硫磺散步在他的居所之上。
There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.
16 他下面的根要枯乾，他上面的枝葉要凋謝。
His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.
17 他的紀念必由地上消滅，他的名字必不傳於街市。
His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street.
18 他將由光明被驅入黑暗，他將從世上被趕走。
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased 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。
He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.
20 他的末日，西方人都為之驚訝，東方人都為之恐怖。
Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21 的確，這就是惡人的結局，這就是不認識天主者的境遇。
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
