23:1

Respondens autem Job, ait :

Then Job answered,

約伯回答說：

23:2

Nunc quoque in amaritudine est sermo meus, et manus plagae meae aggravata est super gemitum meum.

“Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.

如今我的哀告還算為悖逆；我的責罰比我的唉哼還重。

23:3

Quis mihi tribuat ut cognoscam et inveniam illum, et veniam usque ad solium ejus ?

Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!

惟願我能知道在哪裏可以尋見上帝，能到他的臺前，

23:4

Ponam coram eo judicium, et os meum replebo increpationibus :

I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

我就在他面前將我的案件陳明，滿口辯白。

23:5

ut sciam verba quae mihi respondeat, et intelligam quid loquatur mihi.

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would tell me.

我必知道他回答我的言語，明白他向我所說的話。

23:6

Nolo multa fortitudine contendat mecum, nec magnitudinis suae mole me premat.

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.

他豈用大能與我爭辯嗎？必不這樣！他必理會我。

23:7

Proponat aequitatem contra me, et perveniat ad victoriam judicium meum.

There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.

在他那裏正直人可以與他辯論；這樣，我必永遠脫離那審判我的。

23:8

Si ad orientem iero, non apparet ; si ad occidentem, non intelligam eum.

“If I go east, he is not there. If I go west, I can’t find him.

只是，我往前行，他不在那裏，往後退，也不能見他。

23:9

Si ad sinistram, quid agam ? non apprehendam eum ; si me vertam ad dexteram, non videbo illum.

He works to the north, but I can’t see him. He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.

他在左邊行事，我卻不能看見，在右邊隱藏，我也不能見他。
