¹比勒达再责约伯狡辩

¹And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

²“你寻索言语要到几时呢？先想清楚，然后我们再说吧。

²When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.

³我们为什么算为牲畜？为什么在你的眼中看为污秽呢？

³Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!

⁴你这因怒气而撕裂自己的，难道大地要为你的缘故被丢弃，磐石要挪移离开原处吗？

⁴(He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?

⁵恶人的祸患恶人的灯必要熄灭，他的火焰必不照耀；

⁵Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.

⁶他帐棚中的光要变为黑暗，上面的灯也必熄灭。

⁶The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.

⁷他的脚步必然狭窄，自己的计谋必把他绊倒；

⁷Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel.

⁸他的脚送自己进入网罗，他走在陷阱之上。

⁸For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually.

⁹圈套要缠住他的脚跟，网罗要罩在他身上。

⁹Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing.

¹⁰活扣为他藏在地里，羁绊为他埋在路上。

¹⁰Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.

¹¹惊骇四面恐吓他，并且追赶他的脚踪。

¹¹Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him — at his feet.

¹²他的气力因饥饿衰败，祸患预备使他跌倒。

¹²Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side.

¹³灾祸侵蚀了他大部分的皮肤，死亡的长子吃掉了他的肢体。

¹³It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death`s first-born.

¹⁴他要从他倚靠的帐棚中被拔出来，被带到惊骇的王那里，

¹⁴Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.

¹⁵不属他的住在他的帐棚里，硫磺撒在他的居所之上。

¹⁵It dwelleth in his tent — out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.

¹⁶他下面的根枯干，上面的枝子凋谢。

¹⁶From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.

¹⁷他令人怀念的都从地上灭没，他的名字不再留存在田上。

¹⁷His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.

¹⁸他们把他从光明中赶到黑暗里，又把他从世界中赶出去。

¹⁸They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.

¹⁹在本族中他无子无孙，在他寄居之地，也没有生存的人。

¹⁹He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.

²⁰西方的人因他的日子惊讶，东方的人也战栗不已。

²⁰At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright.

²¹不义的人之住所实在是这样，这就是不认识　神的人的收场。”

²¹Only these [are] tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.
