21:1
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει
Then Job answered,
約伯回答說：
21:2
ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατέ μου τῶν λόγων ἵνα μὴ ᾖ μοι παρ’ ὑμῶν αὕτη ἡ παράκλησις
“Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
你們要細聽我的言語， 就算是你們安慰我。
21:3
ἄρατέ με ἐγὼ δὲ λαλήσω εἶτ’ οὐ καταγελάσετέ μου
Allow me, and I also will speak. After I have spoken, mock on.
請寬容我，我又要說話； 說了以後，任憑你們嗤笑吧！
21:4
τί γάρ μὴ ἀνθρώπου μου ἡ ἔλεγξις ἢ διὰ τί οὐ θυμωθήσομαι
As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
我豈是向人訴冤？ 為何不焦急呢？
21:5
εἰσβλέψαντες εἰς ἐμὲ θαυμάσατε χεῖρα θέντες ἐπὶ σιαγόνι
Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.
你們要看着我而驚奇， 用手摀口。
21:6
ἐάν τε γὰρ μνησθῶ ἐσπούδακα ἔχουσιν δέ μου τὰς σάρκας ὀδύναι
When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.
我每逢思想，心就驚惶， 渾身戰兢。
21:7
διὰ τί ἀσεβεῖς ζῶσιν πεπαλαίωνται δὲ καὶ ἐν πλούτῳ
“Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
惡人為何存活， 享大壽數，勢力強盛呢？
21:8
ὁ σπόρος αὐτῶν κατὰ ψυχήν τὰ δὲ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς
Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
他們眼見兒孫， 和他們一同堅立。
21:9
οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν εὐθηνοῦσιν φόβος δὲ οὐδαμοῦ μάστιξ δὲ παρὰ κυρίου οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
他們的家宅平安無懼； 上帝的杖也不加在他們身上。
21:10
ἡ βοῦς αὐτῶν οὐκ ὠμοτόκησεν διεσώθη δὲ αὐτῶν ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα καὶ οὐκ ἔσφαλεν
Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.
他們的公牛孳生而不斷絕； 母牛下犢而不掉胎。
21:11
μένουσιν δὲ ὡς πρόβατα αἰώνια τὰ δὲ παιδία αὐτῶν προσπαίζουσιν
They send out their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.
他們打發小孩子出去，多如羊群； 他們的兒女踴躍跳舞。
21:12
ἀναλαβόντες ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάραν καὶ εὐφραίνονται φωνῇ ψαλμοῦ
They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
他們隨着琴鼓歌唱， 又因簫聲歡喜。
21:13
συνετέλεσαν δὲ ἐν ἀγαθοῖς τὸν βίον αὐτῶν ἐν δὲ ἀναπαύσει ᾅδου ἐκοιμήθησαν
They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol.
他們度日諸事亨通， 轉眼下入陰間。
21:14
λέγει δὲ κυρίῳ ἀπόστα ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ ὁδούς σου εἰδέναι οὐ βούλομαι
They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.
他們對上帝說：離開我們吧！ 我們不願曉得你的道。
21:15
τί ἱκανός ὅτι δουλεύσομεν αὐτῷ καὶ τίς ὠφέλεια ὅτι ἀπαντήσομεν αὐτῷ
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’
全能者是誰，我們何必事奉他呢？ 求告他有甚麼益處呢？
21:16
ἐν χερσὶν γὰρ ἦν αὐτῶν τὰ ἀγαθά ἔργα δὲ ἀσεβῶν οὐκ ἐφορᾷ
Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
看哪，他們亨通不在乎自己； 惡人所謀定的離我好遠。
21:17
οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀσεβῶν λύχνος σβεσθήσεται ἐπελεύσεται δὲ αὐτοῖς ἡ καταστροφή ὠδῖνες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἕξουσιν ἀπὸ ὀργῆς
“How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?
惡人的燈何嘗熄滅？ 患難何嘗臨到他們呢？ 上帝何嘗發怒，向他們分散災禍呢？
21:18
ἔσονται δὲ ὥσπερ ἄχυρα πρὸ ἀνέμου ἢ ὥσπερ κονιορτός ὃν ὑφείλατο λαῖλαψ
How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?
他們何嘗像風前的碎稭， 如暴風颳去的糠詷呢？
21:19
ἐκλίποι υἱοὺς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσει πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ γνώσεται
You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.
你們說：上帝為惡人的兒女積蓄罪孽； 我說：不如本人受報，好使他親自知道。
21:20
ἴδοισαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σφαγήν ἀπὸ δὲ κυρίου μὴ διασωθείη
Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
願他親眼看見自己敗亡， 親自飲全能者的忿怒。
21:21
ὅτι τί θέλημα αὐτοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτόν καὶ ἀριθμοὶ μηνῶν αὐτοῦ διῃρέθησαν
For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?
他的歲月既盡， 他還顧他本家嗎？
21:22
πότερον οὐχὶ ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ὁ διδάσκων σύνεσιν καὶ ἐπιστήμην αὐτὸς δὲ φόνους διακρινεῖ
“Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?
上帝既審判那在高位的， 誰能將知識教訓他呢？
21:23
οὗτος ἀποθανεῖται ἐν κράτει ἁπλοσύνης αὐτοῦ ὅλος δὲ εὐπαθῶν καὶ εὐθηνῶν
One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
有人至死身體強壯， 盡得平靖安逸；
21:24
τὰ δὲ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ πλήρη στέατος μυελὸς δὲ αὐτοῦ διαχεῖται
His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.
他的奶桶充滿， 他的骨髓滋潤。
21:25
ὁ δὲ τελευτᾷ ὑπὸ πικρίας ψυχῆς οὐ φαγὼν οὐδὲν ἀγαθόν
Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.
有人至死心中痛苦， 終身未嘗福樂的滋味；
21:26
ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ ἐπὶ γῆς κοιμῶνται σαπρία δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐκάλυψεν
They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.
他們一樣躺臥在塵土中， 都被蟲子遮蓋。
21:27
ὥστε οἶδα ὑμᾶς ὅτι τόλμῃ ἐπίκεισθέ μοι
“Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.
我知道你們的意思， 並誣害我的計謀。
21:28
ὅτι ἐρεῖτε ποῦ ἐστιν οἶκος ἄρχοντος καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ σκέπη τῶν σκηνωμάτων τῶν ἀσεβῶν
For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’
你們說：霸者的房屋在哪裏？ 惡人住過的帳棚在哪裏？
21:29
ἐρωτήσατε παραπορευομένους ὁδόν καὶ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπαλλοτριώσετε
Haven’t you asked wayfaring men? Don’t you know their evidences,
你們豈沒有詢問過路的人嗎？ 不知道他們所引的證據嗎？
21:30
ὅτι εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπωλείας κουφίζεται ὁ πονηρός εἰς ἡμέραν ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπαχθήσονται
that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, that they are led out to the day of wrath?
就是惡人在禍患的日子得存留， 在發怒的日子得逃脫。
21:31
τίς ἀπαγγελεῖ ἐπὶ προσώπου αὐτοῦ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν τίς ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ
Who will declare his way to his face? Who will repay him what he has done?
他所行的，有誰當面給他說明？ 他所做的，有誰報應他呢？
21:32
καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς τάφους ἀπηνέχθη καὶ ἐπὶ σορῷ ἠγρύπνησεν
Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men will keep watch over the tomb.
然而他要被抬到塋地； 並有人看守墳墓。
21:33
ἐγλυκάνθησαν αὐτῷ χάλικες χειμάρρου καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἀπελεύσεται καὶ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ ἀναρίθμητοι
The clods of the valley will be sweet to him. All men will draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
他要以谷中的土塊為甘甜； 在他以先去的無數， 在他以後去的更多。
21:34
πῶς δὲ παρακαλεῖτέ με κενά τὸ δὲ ἐμὲ καταπαύσασθαι ἀφ’ ὑμῶν οὐδέν
So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?”
你們對答的話中既都錯謬， 怎麼徒然安慰我呢？
