旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第 3 章 ( 本篇共有 42 章 )







3:1 此后,约伯开口咒诅自己的生日,说,

After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.





3:2 愿我生的那日,

And Job spake, and said,





3:3 *和说怀了男胎的那夜都灭没。

Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.





3:4 愿那日变为黑暗。愿神不从上面寻梢它。愿亮光不照于其上。

Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.





3:5 愿黑暗和死荫索取那日。愿密云停在其上。愿日蚀恐吓它。

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.





3:6 愿那夜被幽暗夺取,不在年中的日子同乐,也不入月中的数目。

As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.





3:7 愿那夜没有生育,其间也没有欢乐的声音。

Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.





3:8 愿那咒诅日子且能惹动鳄鱼的,咒诅那夜。

Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.





3:9 愿那夜黎明的星宿变为黑暗,盼亮却不亮,也不见早晨的光线(光线原文作眼皮)。

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:





3:10 因没有把怀我胎的门关闭,也没有将患难对我的眼隐藏。

Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.





3:11 我为何不出母胎而死。为何不出母腹绝气。

Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?





3:12 为何有膝接收我。为何有奶哺养我。

Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?





3:13 不然,我就早已躺卧安睡。

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,





3:14 和地上为自己重造荒邱的君王,谋士。

With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;





3:15 或与有金子,将银子装满了房屋的王子一同安息。

Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:





3:16 或像隐而未现,不到期而落的胎,归于无有,如同未见光的婴孩。

Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.





3:17 在那里恶人止息搅扰,困乏人得享安息。

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.





3:18 被囚的人同得安逸,不听见督工的声音。

There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.





3:19 大小都在那里。奴仆脱离主人的辖制。

The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.





3:20 受患难的人,为何有光赐给他呢。心中愁苦的人,为何有生命赐给他呢。

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;





3:21 他们切望死,却不得死。求死,胜于求隐藏的珍宝。

Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;





3:22 他们寻见坟墓就快乐,极其欢喜。

Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?





3:23 人的道路既然遮隐,神又把他四面围困,为何有光赐给他呢。

Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?





3:24 我未曾吃饭就发出叹息。我唉哼的声音涌出如水。

For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.





3:25 因我所恐惧的临到我身,我所惧怕的迎我而来。

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.





3:26 我不得安逸,不得平静,也不得安息,却有患难来到。

I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
