23:1

约伯回答说：
|
|
|
Then Job answered and said,
|
|
23:2
|
如今我的哀告还算为悖逆；我的责罚比我的唉哼还重。
|
|
|
Even to-day is my complaint rebellious: My stroke is heavier than my groaning.
|
|
23:3
|
惟愿我能知道在那里可以寻见神，能到他的台前，
|
|
|
Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
|
|
23:4
|
我就在他面前将我的案件陈明，满口辩白。
|
|
|
I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
|
|
23:5
|
我必知道他回答我的言语，明白他向我所说的话。
|
|
|
I would know the words which he would answer me, And understand what he would say unto me.
|
|
23:6
|
他岂用大能与我争辩吗？必不这样！他必理会我。
|
|
|
Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
|
|
23:7
|
在他那里正直人可以与他辩论；这样，我必永远脱离那审判我的。
|
|
|
There the upright might reason with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
|
|
23:8
|
只是，我往前行，他不在那里，往后退，也不能见他。
|
|
|
Behold, I go forward, but he is not [there]; And backward, but I cannot perceive him;
|
|
23:9
|
他在左边行事，我却不能看见，在右边隐藏，我也不能见他。
|
|
|
On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
|
|
23:10
|
然而他知道我所行的路；他试炼我之后，我必如精金。
|
|
|
But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
|
|
23:11
|
我脚追随他的步履；我谨守他的道，并不偏离。
|
|
|
My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
|
|
23:12
|
他嘴唇的命令，我未曾背弃；我看重他口中的言语，过于我需用的饮食。
|
|
|
I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
|
|
23:13
|
只是他心志已定，谁能使他转意呢？他心里所愿的，就行出来。
|
|
|
But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
|
|
23:14
|
他向我所定的，就必做成；这类的事他还有许多。
|
|
|
For he performeth that which is appointed for me: And many such things are with him.
|
|
23:15
|
所以我在他面前惊惶；我思念这事便惧怕他。
|
|
|
Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him.
|
|
23:16
|
神使我丧胆；全能者使我惊惶。
|
|
|
For God hath made my heart faint, And the Almighty hath terrified me;
|
|
23:17
|
我的恐惧不是因为黑暗，也不是因为幽暗蒙蔽我的脸。
|
|
|
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
