约伯记 27
1 约伯接着说：
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 神夺去我的理，全能者使我心中愁苦。 我指着永生的 神起誓：
[As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;
3 我的生命尚在我里面； 神所赐呼吸之气仍在我的鼻孔内。
All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
4 我的嘴决不说非义之言； 我的舌也不说诡诈之语。
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 我断不以你们为是； 我至死必不以自己为不正！
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6 我持定我的义，必不放松； 在世的日子，我心必不责备我。
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
7 愿我的仇敌如恶人一样； 愿那起来攻击我的，如不义之人一般。
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8 不敬虔的人虽然得利， 神夺取其命的时候还有什么指望呢？
For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
9 患难临到他， 神岂能听他的呼求？
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
10 他岂以全能者为乐， 随时求告 神呢？
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
11 神的作为，我要指教你们； 全能者所行的，我也不隐瞒。
I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 你们自己也都见过， 为何全然变为虚妄呢？
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it; ] why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13 神为恶人所定的分， 强暴人从全能者所得的报乃是这样：
This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
14 倘或他的儿女增多，还是被刀所杀； 他的子孙必不得饱食。
If his children be multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 他所遗留的人必死而埋葬； 他的寡妇也不哀哭。
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
16 他虽积蓄银子如尘沙， 预备衣服如泥土；
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17 他只管预备，义人却要穿上； 他的银子，无辜的人要分取。
He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 他建造房屋如虫做窝， 又如守望者所搭的棚。
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.
19 他虽富足躺卧，却不得收殓， 转眼之间就不在了。
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.
20 惊恐如波涛将他追上； 暴风在夜间将他刮去。
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 东风把他飘去， 又刮他离开本处。
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22 神要向他射箭，并不留情； 他恨不得逃脱 神的手。
For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 人要向他拍掌， 并要发叱声，使他离开本处。
[Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
