Job

Chapter 7

1 Is there not an appointed6635 time6635 to man582 on earth?776 are not his days3117 also like the days3117 of an hireling?7916

2 As a servant5650 earnestly desires7602 the shadow,6738 and as an hireling7916 looks6960 for the reward of his work:6467

3 So3651 am I made to possess5157 months3391 of vanity,7723 and wearisome5999 nights3915 are appointed4487 to me.

4 When4970 I lie7901 down,7901 I say,559 When4970 shall I arise,6965 and the night6153 be gone?4059 and I am full7646 of tossings5076 to and fro to the dawning5399 of the day.5399

5 My flesh1320 is clothed3847 with worms7415 and clods1487 of dust;6083 my skin5785 is broken,7280 and become3988 loathsome.3988

6 My days3117 are swifter7043 than a weaver's shuttle,708 and are spent3615 without657 hope.8615

7 O remember2142 that my life2416 is wind:7307 my eye5869 shall no3808 more7725 see7200 good.2896

8 The eye5869 of him that has seen7210 me shall see7789 me no3808 more: your eyes5869 are on me, and I am not.

9 As the cloud6051 is consumed3615 and vanishes3212 away: so3651 he that goes3381 down3381 to the grave7585 shall come5927 up no3808 more.

10 He shall return7725 no3808 more5750 to his house,1004 neither3808 shall his place4725 know5234 him any more.5750

11 Therefore1571 I will not refrain2820 my mouth;6310 I will speak1696 in the anguish6862 of my spirit;7307 I will complain7878 in the bitterness4751 of my soul.5315

12 Am I a sea,3220 or a whale,8577 that you set7760 a watch4929 over5921 me?

13 When3588 I say,559 My bed6210 shall comfort5162 me, my couch4904 shall ease5375 my complaints;7879

14 Then you scare2865 me with dreams,2472 and terrify1204 me through visions:2384

15 So that my soul5315 chooses977 strangling,4267 and death4194 rather than my life.6106

16 I loathe3988 it; I would not live2421 always:5769 let me alone;2308 for my days3117 are vanity.1892

17 What4100 is man,582 that you should magnify1431 him? and that you should set7896 your heart3820 on him?

18 And that you should visit6485 him every morning,1242 and try974 him every moment?7281

19 How5704 long4100 will you not depart8159 from me, nor3808 let me alone7503 till5704 I swallow1104 down my spittle?7536

20 I have sinned;2398 what4100 shall I do6466 to you, O you preserver5341 of men?120 why4100 have you set7760 me as a mark4645 against you, so that I am a burden4853 to myself?

21 And why4100 do you not pardon5375 my transgression,6588 and take5674 away5674 my iniquity?5771 for now6258 shall I sleep7901 in the dust;6083 and you shall seek7836 me in the morning,7836 but I shall not be.

第7章

1 人生苦境終其年、猶工勞瘁畢其生。

2 如僕之冀暮、如傭之望値、

3 乃我旣遭患害於累月、復遇顛連於竟夜。

4 我寢則曰、興何時、而夜偏長、輾轉反側、迄於昧爽。

5 我肉生蛆、蒙以塵埃、膚雖痊、膿復出。

6 日月如梭、終身無希望矣。

7 命在呼吸、不復獲福、爾其垂念。

8 今日覿面、明日不能復見、甚恐轉瞬間、卽歸烏有。

9 如浮雲散盡、入土者無復返之期。

10 不再歸其室、鄰里不復見其人。

11 夫如是、我安能默默已哉、焦思苦慮、曷禁對上帝而大放厥詞。

12 我豈海濤、豈鱷魚、防禦我曷故。

13 我如曰、登斯榻可得慰、寢於牀可解憂、

14 則爾又托噩夢以恐我、垂異象以懼我。

15 願棄此微軀而就死地。

16 已無樂生之心、不作永存之想、畢生遘難、毋寧舍子爲幸。

17 且人在世、亦甚渺耳、何爲加意眷顧之、

18 責之無間日、試之無已時。

19 爾而舍我、將至何時、曷不假我以嚥津之頃。

20 爾爲上主、鑒察人心。卽我犯罪、何虧於爾、曷擊我、使我不樂其生。

21 盍赦我罪、宥我惡、俾我安然入土、迄於明日、欲追予而不相遇。
