约伯记 17
1 我的心灵消耗，我的日子灭尽； 坟墓为我预备好了。
“My spirit has been destroyed, My days extinguished—graves [are] for me.
2 真有戏笑我的在我这里， 我眼常见他们惹动我。
If not—mockeries [are] with me. And my eye lodges in their provocations.
3 愿主拿凭据给我，自己为我作保。 在你以外谁肯与我击掌呢？
Now place my pledge with You; Who is he that strikes hand with me?
4 因你使他们心不明理， 所以你必不高举他们。
For You have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore You do not exalt them.
5 控告他的朋友、以朋友为可抢夺的， 连他儿女的眼睛也要失明。
For a portion he shows friendship, And the eyes of his sons are consumed.
6 神使我作了民中的笑谈； 他们也吐唾沫在我脸上。
And He set me up for a proverb of the peoples, And I am a wonder before them.
7 我的眼睛因忧愁昏花； 我的百体好像影儿。
And my eye is dim from sorrow, And my members—all of them—as a shadow.
8 正直人因此必惊奇； 无辜的人要兴起攻击不敬虔之辈。
The upright are astonished at this, and the innocent stirs himself up against the profane.
9 然而，义人要持守所行的道； 手洁的人要力上加力。
And the righteous lays hold [on] his way, And the clean of hands adds strength.
10 至于你们众人，可以再来辩论吧！ 你们中间，我找不着一个智慧人。
But please return and come in, all of you, And I do not find a wise man among you.
11 我的日子已经过了； 我的谋算、我心所想望的已经断绝。
My days have passed by, My plans have been broken off, The possessions of my heart!
12 他们以黑夜为白昼， 说：亮光近乎黑暗。
They appoint night for day, Light [is] near because of darkness.
If I wait—Sheol [is] my house, In darkness I have spread out my bed. (Sheol h7585)
14 若对朽坏说：你是我的父； 对虫说：你是我的母亲姊妹；
To corruption I have called: You [are] my father. To the worm: My mother and my sister.
15 这样，我的指望在哪里呢？ 我所指望的谁能看见呢？
And where [is] my hope now? Indeed, my hope, who beholds it?
