Job 6
1 But Job answered and said,
约伯回答说：
2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
惟愿我的烦恼称一称， 我一切的灾害放在天平里；
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
现今都比海沙更重， 所以我的言语急躁。
4 For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
因全能者的箭射入我身； 其毒，我的灵喝尽了； 神的惊吓摆阵攻击我。
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
野驴有草岂能叫唤？ 牛有料岂能吼叫？
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there [any] taste in the white of an egg?
物淡而无盐岂可吃吗？ 蛋青有什么滋味呢？
7 The things [that] my soul refused to touch [are] as my sorrowful meat.
看为可厌的食物， 我心不肯挨近。
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for!
惟愿我得着所求的， 愿 神赐我所切望的；
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
就是愿 神把我压碎， 伸手将我剪除。
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
我因没有违弃那圣者的言语， 就仍以此为安慰， 在不止息的痛苦中还可踊跃。
11 What [is] my strength, that I should hope? and what [is] mine end, that I should prolong my life?
我有什么气力使我等候？ 我有什么结局使我忍耐？
12 [Is] my strength the strength of stones? or [is] my flesh of brass?
我的气力岂是石头的气力？ 我的肉身岂是铜的呢？
13 [Is] not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
在我岂不是毫无帮助吗？ 智慧岂不是从我心中赶出净尽吗？
14 To him that is afflicted pity [should be shewed] from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
那将要灰心、离弃全能者、 不敬畏 神的人， 他的朋友当以慈爱待他。
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away;
我的弟兄诡诈，好像溪水， 又像溪水流干的河道。
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, [and] wherein the snow is hid:
这河因结冰发黑， 有雪藏在其中；
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
天气渐暖就随时消化， 日头炎热便从原处干涸。
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
结伴的客旅离弃大道， 顺河偏行，到荒野之地死亡。
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
提玛结伴的客旅瞻望； 示巴同伙的人等候。
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
他们因失了盼望就抱愧， 来到那里便蒙羞。
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see [my] casting down, and are afraid.
现在你们正是这样， 看见惊吓的事便惧怕。
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
我岂说：请你们供给我， 从你们的财物中送礼物给我？
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
岂说：拯救我脱离敌人的手吗？ 救赎我脱离强暴人的手吗？
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
请你们教导我，我便不作声； 使我明白在何事上有错。
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
正直的言语力量何其大！ 但你们责备是责备什么呢？
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, [which are] as wind?
绝望人的讲论既然如风， 你们还想要驳正言语吗？
27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig [a pit] for your friend.
你们想为孤儿拈阄， 以朋友当货物。
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for [it is] evident unto you if I lie.
现在请你们看看我， 我决不当面说谎。
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness [is] in it.
请你们转意，不要不公； 请再转意，我的事有理。
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
我的舌上岂有不义吗？ 我的口里岂不辨奸恶吗？
