旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第 30 章 ( 本篇共有 42 章 )







30:1 但如今，比我年少的人戏笑我。其人之父我曾藐视，不肯安在看守我羊群的狗中。

But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.





30:2 他们壮年的气力既已衰败，其手之力与我何益呢。

Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?





30:3 他们因穷乏饥饿，身体枯瘦，在荒废凄凉的幽暗中龈乾燥之地。

For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.





30:4 在草丛之中采咸草，罗腾（罗腾小树名松类）的根为他们的食物。

Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.





30:5 他们从人中被赶出，人追喊他们如贼一般。

They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)





30:6 以致他们住在荒谷之间，在地洞和岩穴中。

To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.





30:7 在草丛中叫唤，在荆棘下聚集。

Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.





30:8 这都是愚顽下贱人的儿女，他们被鞭打，赶出境外。

They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.





30:9 现在这些人以我为歌曲，以我为笑谈。

And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.





30:10 他们厌恶我，躲在旁边站着，不住地吐唾沫在我脸上。

They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.





30:11 松开他们的绳索苦待我，在我面前脱去辔头。

Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.





30:12 这等下流人在我右边起来，推开我的脚，筑成战路来攻击我。

Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.





30:13 这些无人帮助的，毁坏我的道，加增我的灾。

They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.





30:14 他们来如同闯进大破口，在毁坏之间滚在我身上。

They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.





30:15 惊恐临到我，驱逐我的尊荣如风，我的福禄如云过去。

Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.





30:16 现在我心极其悲伤。困苦的日子将我抓住。

And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.





30:17 夜间，我里面的骨头刺我，疼痛不止，好像龈我。

My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.





30:18 因神的大力，我的外衣污秽不堪，又如里衣的领子将我缠住。

By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.





30:19 神把我扔在淤泥中，我就像尘土和炉灰一般。

He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.





30:20 主阿，我呼求你，你不应允我。我站起来，你就定睛看我。

I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.





30:21 你向我变心，待我残忍，又用大能追逼我。

Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.





30:22 把我提在风中，使我驾风而行，又使我消灭在烈风中。

Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.





30:23 我知道要使我临到死地，到那为众生所定的阴宅。

For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.





30:24 然而，人仆倒岂不伸手。遇灾难岂不求救呢。

Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.





30:25 人遭难，我岂不为他哭泣呢。人穷乏，我岂不为他忧愁呢。

Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?





30:26 我仰望得好处，灾祸就到了。我等待光明，黑暗便来了。

When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.





30:27 我心里烦扰不安，困苦的日子临到我身。

My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.





30:28 我没有日光就哀哭行去（或作我面发黑并非因日晒）。我在会中站着求救。

I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.





30:29 我与野狗为弟兄，与鸵鸟为同伴。

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.





30:30 我的皮肤黑而脱落，我的骨头因热烧焦。

My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.





30:31 所以，我的琴音变为悲音，我的箫声变为哭声。

My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
