约伯记 Job

23:1	[bbe]	And Job made answer and said,
	[hgb]	约伯回答说，
	[kjv]	Then Job answered and said,
23:2	[bbe]	Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.
	[hgb]	如今我的哀告还算为悖逆。我的责罚比我的唉哼还重。
	[kjv]	Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
23:3	[bbe]	If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!
	[hgb]	惟愿我能知道在哪里可以寻见神，能到他的台前。
	[kjv]	Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
23:4	[bbe]	I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.
	[hgb]	我就在他面前将我的案件陈明，满口辩白。
	[kjv]	I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
23:5	[bbe]	I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to me.
	[hgb]	我必知道他回答我的言语，明白他向我所说的话。
	[kjv]	I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
23:6	[bbe]	Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.
	[hgb]	他岂用大能与我争辩吗？必不这样，他必理会我。
	[kjv]	Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
23:7	[bbe]	There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.
	[hgb]	在他那里，正直人可以与他辩论。这样，我必永远脱离那审判我的。
	[kjv]	There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
23:8	[bbe]	See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;
	[hgb]	只是，我往前行，他不在那里，往后退，也不能见他。
	[kjv]	Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
23:9	[bbe]	I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.
	[hgb]	他在左边行事，我却不能看见，在右边隐藏，我也不能见他。
	[kjv]	On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
23:10	[bbe]	For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.
	[hgb]	然而他知道我所行的路。他试炼我之后，我必如精金。
	[kjv]	But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
23:11	[bbe]	My feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.
	[hgb]	我脚追随他的步履。我谨守他的道，并不偏离。
	[kjv]	My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
23:12	[bbe]	I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.
	[hgb]	他嘴唇的命令，我未曾背弃。我看重他口中的言语，过于我需用的饮食。
	[kjv]	Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
23:13	[bbe]	But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.
	[hgb]	只是他心志已定，谁能使他转意呢？他心里所愿的，就行出来。
	[kjv]	But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
23:14	[bbe]	For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.
	[hgb]	他向我所定的，就必做成。这类的事他还有许多。
	[kjv]	For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
23:15	[bbe]	For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.
	[hgb]	所以我在他面前惊惶，我思念这事，便惧怕他。
	[kjv]	Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
23:16	[bbe]	For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.
	[hgb]	神使我丧胆，全能者使我惊惶。
	[kjv]	For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
23:17	[bbe]	For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face.
	[hgb]	我的恐惧，不是因为黑暗，也不是因为幽暗蒙蔽我的脸。
	[kjv]	Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
