31:1
διαθήκην ἐθέμην τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου καὶ οὐ συνήσω ἐπὶ παρθένον
“I made a covenant with my eyes; how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?
我與眼睛立約， 怎能戀戀瞻望處女呢？
31:2
καὶ τί ἐμέρισεν ὁ θεὸς ἀπάνωθεν καὶ κληρονομία ἱκανοῦ ἐξ ὑψίστων
For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from the Almighty on high?
從至上的上帝所得之分， 從至高全能者所得之業是甚麼呢？
31:3
οὐχὶ ἀπώλεια τῷ ἀδίκῳ καὶ ἀπαλλοτρίωσις τοῖς ποιοῦσιν ἀνομίαν
Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?
豈不是禍患臨到不義的， 災害臨到作孽的呢？
31:4
οὐχὶ αὐτὸς ὄψεται ὁδόν μου καὶ πάντα τὰ διαβήματά μου ἐξαριθμήσεται
Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?
上帝豈不是察看我的道路， 數點我的腳步呢？
31:5
εἰ δὲ ἤμην πεπορευμένος μετὰ γελοιαστῶν εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐσπούδασεν ὁ πούς μου εἰς δόλον
“If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit
我若與虛謊同行， 腳若追隨詭詐； （
31:6
ἱσταίη με ἄρα ἐν ζυγῷ δικαίῳ οἶδεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τὴν ἀκακίαν μου
(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
我若被公道的天平稱度， 使上帝可以知道我的純正；）
31:7
εἰ ἐξέκλινεν ὁ πούς μου ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ εἰ δὲ καὶ τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ ἐπηκολούθησεν ἡ καρδία μου εἰ δὲ καὶ ταῖς χερσίν μου ἡψάμην δώρων
if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,
我的腳步若偏離正路， 我的心若隨着我的眼目， 若有玷污粘在我手上；
31:8
σπείραιμι ἄρα καὶ ἄλλοι φάγοισαν ἄρριζος δὲ γενοίμην ἐπὶ γῆς
then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
就願我所種的有別人吃， 我田所產的被拔出來。
31:9
εἰ ἐξηκολούθησεν ἡ καρδία μου γυναικὶ ἀνδρὸς ἑτέρου εἰ καὶ ἐγκάθετος ἐγενόμην ἐπὶ θύραις αὐτῆς
“If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,
我若受迷惑，向婦人起淫念， 在鄰舍的門外蹲伏，
31:10
ἀρέσαι ἄρα καὶ ἡ γυνή μου ἑτέρῳ τὰ δὲ νήπιά μου ταπεινωθείη
then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.
就願我的妻子給別人推磨， 別人也與她同室。
31:11
θυμὸς γὰρ ὀργῆς ἀκατάσχετος τὸ μιᾶναι ἀνδρὸς γυναῖκα
For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
因為這是大罪， 是審判官當罰的罪孽。
31:12
πῦρ γάρ ἐστιν καιόμενον ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν μερῶν οὗ δ’ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ἐκ ῥιζῶν ἀπώλεσεν
for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
這本是火焚燒，直到毀滅， 必拔除我所有的家產。
31:13
εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐφαύλισα κρίμα θεράποντός μου ἢ θεραπαίνης κρινομένων αὐτῶν πρός με
“If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me,
我的僕婢與我爭辯的時候， 我若藐視不聽他們的情節；
31:14
τί γὰρ ποιήσω ἐὰν ἔτασίν μου ποιήσηται ὁ κύριος ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἐπισκοπήν τίνα ἀπόκρισιν ποιήσομαι
what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?
上帝興起，我怎樣行呢？ 他察問，我怎樣回答呢？
31:15
πότερον οὐχ ὡς καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγενόμην ἐν γαστρί καὶ ἐκεῖνοι γεγόνασιν γεγόναμεν δὲ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ κοιλίᾳ
Didn’t he who made me in the womb make him? Didn’t one fashion us in the womb?
造我在腹中的，不也是造他嗎？ 將他與我摶在腹中的豈不是一位嗎？
31:16
ἀδύνατοι δὲ χρείαν ἥν ποτ’ εἶχον οὐκ ἀπέτυχον χήρας δὲ τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐκ ἐξέτηξα
“If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
我若不容貧寒人得其所願， 或叫寡婦眼中失望，
31:17
εἰ δὲ καὶ τὸν ψωμόν μου ἔφαγον μόνος καὶ οὐχὶ ὀρφανῷ μετέδωκα
or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it
或獨自吃我一點食物， 孤兒沒有與我同吃； （
31:18
ὅτι ἐκ νεότητός μου ἐξέτρεφον ὡς πατὴρ καὶ ἐκ γαστρὸς μητρός μου ὡδήγησα
(no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, I have guided her from my mother’s womb);
從幼年時孤兒與我同長，好像父子一樣； 我從出母腹就扶助 寡婦。）
31:19
εἰ δὲ καὶ ὑπερεῖδον γυμνὸν ἀπολλύμενον καὶ οὐκ ἠμφίασα
if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
我若見人因無衣死亡， 或見窮乏人身無遮蓋；
31:20
ἀδύνατοι δὲ εἰ μὴ εὐλόγησάν με ἀπὸ δὲ κουρᾶς ἀμνῶν μου ἐθερμάνθησαν οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῶν
if his heart hasn’t blessed me, if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;
我若不使他因我羊的毛得暖， 為我祝福；
31:21
εἰ ἐπῆρα ὀρφανῷ χεῖρα πεποιθὼς ὅτι πολλή μοι βοήθεια περίεστιν
if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate;
我若在城門口見有幫助我的， 舉手攻擊孤兒；
31:22
ἀποσταίη ἄρα ὁ ὦμός μου ἀπὸ τῆς κλειδός ὁ δὲ βραχίων μου ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγκῶνός μου συντριβείη
then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
情願我的肩頭從缺盆骨脫落， 我的膀臂從羊矢骨折斷。
31:23
φόβος γὰρ κυρίου συνέσχεν με καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λήμματος αὐτοῦ οὐχ ὑποίσω
For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.
因上帝降的災禍使我恐懼； 因他的威嚴，我不能妄為。
31:24
εἰ ἔταξα χρυσίον ἰσχύν μου εἰ δὲ καὶ λίθῳ πολυτελεῖ ἐπεποίθησα
“If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’
我若以黃金為指望， 對精金說：你是我的倚靠；
31:25
εἰ δὲ καὶ εὐφράνθην πολλοῦ πλούτου μοι γενομένου εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐπ’ ἀναριθμήτοις ἐθέμην χεῖρά μου
If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
我若因財物豐裕， 因我手多得資財而歡喜；
31:26
ἦ οὐχ ὁρῶ μὲν ἥλιον τὸν ἐπιφαύσκοντα ἐκλείποντα σελήνην δὲ φθίνουσαν οὐ γὰρ ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς ἐστιν
if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,
我若見太陽發光， 明月行在空中，
31:27
καὶ εἰ ἠπατήθη λάθρᾳ ἡ καρδία μου εἰ δὲ καὶ χεῖρά μου ἐπιθεὶς ἐπὶ στόματί μου ἐφίλησα
and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth;
心就暗暗被引誘， 口便親手；
31:28
καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἄρα ἀνομία ἡ μεγίστη λογισθείη ὅτι ἐψευσάμην ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου
this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have denied the God who is above.
這也是審判官當罰的罪孽， 又是我背棄在上的上帝。
31:29
εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐπιχαρὴς ἐγενόμην πτώματι ἐχθρῶν μου καὶ εἶπεν ἡ καρδία μου εὖγε
“If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him
我若見恨我的遭報就歡喜， 見他遭災便高興； （
31:30
ἀκούσαι ἄρα τὸ οὖς μου τὴν κατάραν μου θρυληθείην δὲ ἄρα ὑπὸ λαοῦ μου κακούμενος
(I have certainly not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);
我沒有容口犯罪， 咒詛他的生命；）
31:31
εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλάκις εἶπον αἱ θεράπαιναί μου τίς ἂν δῴη ἡμῖν τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτοῦ πλησθῆναι λίαν μου χρηστοῦ ὄντος
if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’
若我帳棚的人未嘗說， 誰不以主人的食物吃飽呢？ （
31:32
ἔξω δὲ οὐκ ηὐλίζετο ξένος ἡ δὲ θύρα μου παντὶ ἐλθόντι ἀνέῳκτο
(the foreigner has not camped in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
從來我沒有容客旅在街上住宿， 卻開門迎接行路的人；）
31:33
εἰ δὲ καὶ ἁμαρτὼν ἀκουσίως ἔκρυψα τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου
if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
我若像亞當 遮掩我的過犯， 將罪孽藏在懷中；
31:34
οὐ γὰρ διετράπην πολυοχλίαν πλήθους τοῦ μὴ ἐξαγορεῦσαι ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν εἰ δὲ καὶ εἴασα ἀδύνατον ἐξελθεῖν θύραν μου κόλπῳ κενῷ
because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—
因懼怕大眾， 又因宗族藐視我使我驚恐， 以致閉口無言，杜門不出；
31:35
τίς δῴη ἀκούοντά μου χεῖρα δὲ κυρίου εἰ μὴ ἐδεδοίκειν συγγραφὴν δέ ἣν εἶχον κατά τινος
oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!
惟願有一位肯聽我！ （看哪，在這裏有我所劃的押， 願全能者回答我！）
31:36
ἐπ’ ὤμοις ἂν περιθέμενος στέφανον ἀνεγίνωσκον
Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, and I would bind it to me as a crown.
願那敵我者所寫的狀詞在我這裏！ 我必帶在肩上，又綁在頭上為冠冕。
31:37
καὶ εἰ μὴ ῥήξας αὐτὴν ἀπέδωκα οὐθὲν λαβὼν παρὰ χρεοφειλέτου
I would declare to him the number of my steps. I would go near to him like a prince.
我必向他述說我腳步的數目， 必如君王進到他面前。
31:38
εἰ ἐπ’ ἐμοί ποτε ἡ γῆ ἐστέναξεν εἰ δὲ καὶ οἱ αὔλακες αὐτῆς ἔκλαυσαν ὁμοθυμαδόν
If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;
我若奪取田地，這地向我喊冤， 犂溝一同哭泣；
31:39
εἰ δὲ καὶ τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς ἔφαγον μόνος ἄνευ τιμῆς εἰ δὲ καὶ ψυχὴν κυρίου τῆς γῆς ἐκβαλὼν ἐλύπησα
if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,
我若吃地的出產不給價值， 或叫原主喪命；
31:40
ἀντὶ πυροῦ ἄρα ἐξέλθοι μοι κνίδη ἀντὶ δὲ κριθῆς βάτος καὶ ἐπαύσατο Ιωβ ῥήμασιν
let briers grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.
願這地長蒺藜代替麥子， 長惡草代替大麥。 約伯的話說完了。
