Job 30

1 But now the youngest have laughed me to scorn, now they reprove me in [their] turn, whose fathers I set at nothing; whom I did not deem worthy [to be with] my shepherd dogs.

但如今，比我年少的人戏笑我； 其人之父我曾藐视， 不肯安在看守我羊群的狗中。

2 Yes, why had I the strength of their hands? for them the full term [of life] was lost.

他们壮年的气力既已衰败， 其手之力与我何益呢？

3 [One is] childless in lack and famine, [such as] they that fled but lately the distress and misery of drought.

他们因穷乏饥饿，身体枯瘦， 在荒废凄凉的幽暗中啃干燥之地，

4 Who compass the salt places on the sounding [shore], who had salt [herbs] for their food, and were dishonourable and of no repute, in lack of every good thing; who also ate roots of trees by reason of great hunger.

在草丛之中采咸草， 罗腾的根为他们的食物。

5 Thieves have risen up against me,

他们从人中被赶出； 人追喊他们如贼一般，

6 whose houses were the caves of the rocks, who lived under the wild shrubs.

以致他们住在荒谷之间， 在地洞和岩穴中；

7 They will cry out amongst the rustling [bushes].

在草丛中叫唤， 在荆棘下聚集。

8 [They are] sons of fools and vile men, [whose] name and glory [are] quenched from off the earth.

这都是愚顽下贱人的儿女； 他们被鞭打，赶出境外。

9 But now I am their music, and they have me for a byword.

现在这些人以我为歌曲， 以我为笑谈。

10 And they stood aloof and abhorred me, and spared not to spit in my face.

他们厌恶我，躲在旁边站着， 不住地吐唾沫在我脸上。

11 For he has opened his quiver and afflicted me: they also have cast off the restraint of my presence.

松开他们的绳索苦待我， 在我面前脱去辔头。

12 They have risen up against [me] on the right hand of [their] offspring; they have stretched out their foot, and directed against me the ways of their destruction.

这等下流人在我右边起来， 推开我的脚，筑成战路来攻击我。

13 My paths are ruined; for they have stripped off my raiment: he has shot at me with his weapons.

这些无人帮助的， 毁坏我的道，加增我的灾。

14 And he has pleaded against me as he will: I am overwhelmed with pains.

他们来如同闯进大破口， 在毁坏之间滚在我身上。

15 My pains return upon [me]; my hope is gone like the wind, and my safety as a cloud.

惊恐临到我， 驱逐我的尊荣如风； 我的福禄如云过去。

16 Even now my life shall be poured forth upon me; and days of anguish seize me.

现在我心极其悲伤； 困苦的日子将我抓住。

17 And by night my bones are confounded; and my sinews are relaxed.

夜间，我里面的骨头刺我， 疼痛不止，好像啃我。

18 With great force [my disease] has taken hold of my garment: it has compassed me as the collar of my coat.

因 神的大力，我的外衣污秽不堪， 又如里衣的领子将我缠住。

19 And you have counted me as clay; my portion in dust and ashes.

神把我扔在淤泥中， 我就像尘土和炉灰一般。

20 And I have cried to you, but you hear me not: but they stood still, and observed me.

主啊，我呼求你，你不应允我； 我站起来，你就定睛看我。

21 They attacked me also without mercy: you have scourged me with a strong hand.

你向我变心，待我残忍， 又用大能追逼我，

22 And you have put me to grief, and have cast me away from safety.

把我提在风中，使我驾风而行， 又使我消灭在烈风中。

23 For I know that death will destroy me: for the earth is the house [appointed] for every mortal.

我知道要使我临到死地， 到那为众生所定的阴宅。

24 Oh then that I might lay hands upon myself, or at least ask another, and he should do this for me.

然而，人仆倒岂不伸手？ 遇灾难岂不求救呢？

25 Yet I wept over every helpless man; I groaned when I saw a man in distress.

人遭难，我岂不为他哭泣呢？ 人穷乏，我岂不为他忧愁呢？

26 But I, when I waited for good things, behold, days of evils came the more upon me.

我仰望得好处，灾祸就到了； 我等待光明，黑暗便来了。

27 My belly boiled, and would not cease: the days of poverty prevented me.

我心里烦扰不安， 困苦的日子临到我身。

28 I went mourning without restraint: and I have stood and cried out in the assembly.

我没有日光就哀哭行去 ； 我在会中站着求救。

29 I am become a brother of monsters, and a companion of ostriches.

我与野狗为弟兄， 与鸵鸟为同伴。

30 And my skin has been greatly blackened, and my bones are burnt with heat.

我的皮肤黑而脱落； 我的骨头因热烧焦。

31 My harp also has been turned into mourning, and my song into my weeping.

所以，我的琴音变为悲音； 我的箫声变为哭声。
