Job 20
1 And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
拿玛人琐法回答说：
2 Therefore do my thoughts give me an answer, and for this is my haste within me.
我心中急躁， 所以我的思念叫我回答。
3 I hear a reproof putting me to shame; and [my] spirit answereth me by mine understanding.
我已听见那羞辱我，责备我的话； 我的悟性叫我回答。
4 Knowest thou [not] this, that of old, since man was placed upon earth,
你岂不知亘古以来， 自从人生在地，
5 The exultation of the wicked is short, and the joy of the ungodly man but for a moment?
恶人夸胜是暂时的， 不敬虔人的喜乐不过转眼之间吗？
6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds,
他的尊荣虽达到天上， 头虽顶到云中，
7 Like his own dung doth he perish for ever; they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
他终必灭亡，像自己的粪一样； 素来见他的人要说：他在哪里呢？
8 He flieth away as a dream, and is not found; and is chased away as a vision of the night.
他必飞去如梦，不再寻见， 速被赶去，如夜间的异象。
9 The eye which saw him shall [see him] not again; and his place beholdeth him no more.
亲眼见过他的，必不再见他； 他的本处也再见不着他。
10 His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands restore his wealth.
他的儿女要求穷人的恩； 他的手要赔还不义之财。
11 His bones were full of his youthful strength; but it shall lie down with him in the dust.
他的骨头虽然有青年之力， 却要和他一同躺卧在尘土中。
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth [and] he hide it under his tongue,
他口内虽以恶为甘甜， 藏在舌头底下，
13 [Though] he spare it, and forsake it not, but keep it within his mouth,
爱恋不舍，含在口中；
14 His food is turned in his bowels; it is the gall of asps within him.
他的食物在肚里却要化为酸， 在他里面成为虺蛇的恶毒。
15 He hath swallowed down riches, but he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
他吞了财宝，还要吐出； 神要从他腹中掏出来。
16 He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall kill him.
他必吸饮虺蛇的毒气； 蝮蛇的舌头也必杀他。
17 He shall not see streams, rivers, brooks of honey and butter.
流奶与蜜之河， 他不得再见。
18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and not swallow down; its restitution shall be according to the value, and he shall not rejoice [therein].
他劳碌得来的要赔还，不得享用； 不能照所得的财货欢乐。
19 For he hath oppressed, hath forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house that he did not build.
他欺压穷人，且又离弃； 强取非自己所盖的房屋 。
20 Because he knew no rest in his craving, he shall save nought of what he most desired.
他因贪而无厌， 所喜悦的连一样也不能保守。
21 Nothing escaped his greediness; therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
其余的没有一样他不吞灭， 所以他的福乐不能长久。
22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; every hand of the wretched shall come upon him.
他在满足有余的时候，必到狭窄的地步； 凡受苦楚的人都必加手在他身上。
23 It shall be that, to fill his belly, he will cast his fierce anger upon him, and will rain it upon him into his flesh.
他正要充满肚腹的时候， 神必将猛烈的忿怒降在他身上； 正在他吃饭的时候， 要将这忿怒像雨降在他身上。
24 If he have fled from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.
他要躲避铁器； 铜弓的箭要将他射透。
25 He draweth it forth; it cometh out of his body, and the glittering point out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
他把箭一抽，就从他身上出来； 发光的箭头从他胆中出来， 有惊惶临在他身上。
26 All darkness is laid up for his treasures: a fire not blown shall devour him; it shall feed upon what is left in his tent.
他的财宝归于黑暗； 人所不吹的火要把他烧灭， 要把他帐棚中所剩下的烧毁。
27 The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
天要显明他的罪孽； 地要兴起攻击他。
28 The increase of his house shall depart, flowing away in the day of his anger.
他的家产必然过去； 神发怒的日子，他的货物都要消灭。
29 This is the portion of the wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.
这是恶人从 神所得的分， 是 神为他所定的产业。
