约伯记 27
1 约伯接着说：
Job replied again [to his three friends],
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：
“Almighty God has refused to treat me justly/fairly. He has caused me to feel bitter/resentful. But [just as surely] as he lives,
3 我的生命尚在我里面； 神所赐呼吸之气仍在我的鼻孔内。
as long as God’s Spirit enables me to breathe,
4 我的嘴决不说非义之言； 我的舌也不说诡诈之语。
I will not lie; I [SYN] will not say anything to deceive anyone.
5 我断不以你们为是； 我至死必不以自己为不正！
I will never admit that what you [three] have said is true; until the day that I die, I will insist that I have not done things that are wrong.
6 我持定我的义，必不放松； 在世的日子，我心必不责备我。
I will say that I am innocent, and never (say anything different/change what I say); my conscience will never reproach me as 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。
“I want my enemies to be [punished] like all wicked [people are punished]; I want [God to punish] those who oppose me like [he punishes all] unrighteous [people].
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？
When [it is time for] God [to] get rid of godless/wicked people and [to] cause them to die, there is absolutely nothing good [RHQ] that they can confidently expect [to happen to them].
9 患难临到他， 神岂能听他的呼求？
When they experience troubles, (will God hear them call [out to him for help]?/God certainly will not hear them call out [to him for help].) [RHQ]
10 他岂以全能者为乐， 随时求告 神呢？
(Will they be happy about what Almighty [God] does?/They certainly will not be happy about what Almighty [God] does.) [RHQ] (Will they [begin to] pray to him frequently?/They certainly will not [begin to] pray to him frequently.) [RHQ] [Certainly not!]
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 [three] something about the power [MTY] of Almighty God [MTY]; I will reveal what he is thinking.
12 你们自己也都见过， 为何全然变为虚妄呢？
But you [three] have seen for yourselves [what God has done]; so (why are you saying such nonsense?/you should not be saying such nonsense.) [RHQ]
13 神为恶人所定的分， 强暴人从全能者所得的报乃是这样：
“[I will tell you] what Almighty God does to wicked people, the things that he does to people who oppress others.
14 倘或他的儿女增多，还是被刀所杀； 他的子孙必不得饱食。
[Even] if they have many children, [many of] those children will die in wars [MTY], and their [other] children will [die because they do] not have enough food to eat.
15 他所遗留的人必死而埋葬； 他的寡妇也不哀哭。
Their children who are still alive will die from diseases, and their widows will not [even] mourn for them.
16 他虽积蓄银子如尘沙， 预备衣服如泥土；
Sometimes [wicked people] accumulate a huge amount [SIM] of silver and pile up clothes like [SIM] those clothes were a pile of clay,
17 他只管预备，义人却要穿上； 他的银子，无辜的人要分取。
but [those wicked people will die, and then] righteous people will wear those clothes, and honest/innocent people will get their silver and divide it [among themselves].
18 他建造房屋如虫做窝， 又如守望者所搭的棚。
The houses that they build are [as frail/fragile] as [SIM] spider webs, or they are like flimsy huts that watchmen live in [while they guard people’s fields].
19 他虽富足躺卧，却不得收殓， 转眼之间就不在了。
Wicked people are rich when they lie down [at night], but when they wake up [in the morning, they find out that] their money has disappeared.
20 惊恐如波涛将他追上； 暴风在夜间将他刮去。
“Things that terrify them [PRS] strike them like a flood [SIM]; during the night a whirlwind carries them away.
21 东风把他飘去， 又刮他离开本处。
[It is as though] the wind from the east picks them up and carries them away from their homes, and they disappear.
22 神要向他射箭，并不留情； 他恨不得逃脱 神的手。
That wind strikes them without pitying them while they are running away, trying to escape from its force/power [MTY].
23 人要向他拍掌， 并要发叱声，使他离开本处。
That wind [is like someone] clapping his hands [MET] at them [to ridicule them], howling at them wherever they run to.”
