Job

全能者既定期罰惡，為何不使認識他的人看見那日子呢？

Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

有人挪移地界，搶奪群畜而牧養。

{Some} remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed {thereof}. {feed...: or, feed them}

他們拉去孤兒的驢，強取寡婦的牛為當頭。

They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

他們使窮人離開正道；世上的貧民盡都隱藏。

They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

這些貧窮人如同野驢出到曠野，殷勤尋找食物；他們靠著野地給兒女糊口，

Behold, {as} wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness {yieldeth} food for them {and} for {their} children.

收割別人田間的禾稼，摘取惡人餘剩的葡萄，

They reap {every one} his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. {corn: Heb. mingled corn, or, dredge} {they gather...: Heb. the wicked gather the vintage}

終夜赤身無衣，天氣寒冷毫無遮蓋，

They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that {they have} no covering in the cold.

在山上被大雨淋濕，因沒有避身之處就挨近磐石。

They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

又有人從母懷中搶奪孤兒，強取窮人的衣服為當頭，

They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

使人赤身無衣，到處流行，且因飢餓扛抬禾捆，

They cause {him} to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf {from} the hungry;

在那些人的圍牆內造油，醡酒，自己還口渴。

{Which} make oil within their walls, {and} tread {their} winepresses, and suffer thirst.

在多民的城內有人唉哼，受傷的人哀號；神卻不理會那惡人的愚妄。

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly {to them}.

又有人背棄光明，不認識光明的道，不住在光明的路上。

They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

殺人的黎明起來，殺害困苦窮乏人，夜間又作盜賊。

The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

姦夫等候黃昏，說：必無眼能見我，就把臉蒙蔽。

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth {his} face. {disguiseth...: Heb. setteth his face in secret}

盜賊黑夜挖窟窿；白日躲藏，並不認識光明。

In the dark they dig through houses, {which} they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

他們看早晨如幽暗，因為他們曉得幽暗的驚駭。

For the morning {is} to them even as the shadow of death: if {one} know {them, they are in} the terrors of the shadow of death.

這些惡人猶如浮萍快快飄去。他們所得的分在世上被咒詛；他們不得再走葡萄園的路。

He {is} swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

乾旱炎熱消沒雪水；陰間也如此消沒犯罪之輩。

Drought and heat consume the snow waters: {so doth} the grave {those which} have sinned. {consume: Heb. violently take}

懷他的母（原文是胎）要忘記他；蟲子要吃他，覺得甘甜；他不再被人記念。不義的人必如樹折斷。

The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

他惡待（或譯：他吞滅）不懷孕不生養的婦人，不善待寡婦。

He evil entreateth the barren {that} beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

然而神用能力保全有勢力的人；那性命難保的人仍然興起。

He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no {man} is sure of life. {no...: or, he trusteth not his own life}

神使他們安穩，他們就有所倚靠；神的眼目也看顧他們的道路。

{Though} it be given him {to be} in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes {are} upon their ways.

他們被高舉，不過片時就沒有了；他們降為卑，被除滅，與眾人一樣，又如穀穗被割。

They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all {other}, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. {are gone: Heb. are not} {taken...: Heb. closed up}

若不是這樣，誰能證實我是說謊的，將我的言語駁為虛空呢？

And if {it be} not {so} now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
