约伯记 3现代标点和合本 1919 | Job 3King James Version 1769 |
|---|---|
约伯自诅其诞辰 | Job cursed himself on the day of his birth |
1此后，约伯开口咒诅自己的生日， | 1After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. |
2说： | 2And Job spake, and said, |
3“愿我生的那日和说怀了男胎的那夜都灭没。 | 3Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. |
4愿那日变为黑暗，愿神不从上面寻找它，愿亮光不照于其上。 | 4Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. |
5愿黑暗和死荫索取那日，愿密云停在其上，愿日食恐吓它。 | 5Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. |
6愿那夜被幽暗夺取，不在年中的日子同乐，也不入月中的数目。 | 6As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. |
7愿那夜没有生育，其间也没有欢乐的声音。 | 7Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. |
8愿那咒诅日子且能惹动鳄鱼的，咒诅那夜。 | 8Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. |
9愿那夜黎明的星宿变为黑暗，盼亮却不亮，也不见早晨的光线。 | 9Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: |
10因没有把怀我胎的门关闭，也没有将患难对我的眼隐藏。 | 10Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. |
11我为何不出母胎而死？为何不出母腹绝气？ | 11Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? |
12为何有膝接收我？为何有奶哺养我？ | 12Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? |
13不然，我就早已躺卧安睡， | 13For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, |
14和地上为自己重造荒丘的君王、谋士， | 14With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; |
15或与有金子、将银子装满了房屋的王子一同安息； | 15Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: |
16或像隐而未现、不到期而落的胎，归于无有，如同未见光的婴孩。 | 16Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. |
17在那里，恶人止息搅扰，困乏人得享安息； | 17There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. |
18被囚的人同得安逸，不听见督工的声音。 | 18There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. |
19大小都在那里，奴仆脱离主人的辖制。 | 19The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. |
自言死为美 | Says death is beauty |
20“受患难的人，为何有光赐给他呢？心中愁苦的人，为何有生命赐给他呢？ | 20Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; |
21他们切望死却不得死，求死胜于求隐藏的珍宝。 | 21Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
22他们寻见坟墓就快乐，极其欢喜。 | 22Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? |
23人的道路既然遮隐，神又把他四面围困，为何有光赐给他呢？ | 23Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? |
24我未曾吃饭就发出叹息，我唉哼的声音涌出如水。 | 24For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. |
25因我所恐惧的临到我身，我所惧怕的迎我而来。 | 25For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. |
26我不得安逸，不得平静，也不得安息，却有患难来到。” | 26I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. |
