< Job 27 >

1 Job again took up his parable, and said,
ヨブまた語を繼ていはく
2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
われに義しき審判を施したまはざる神 わが心魂をなやまし給ふ全能者 此神は活く
3 (for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
(わが生命なほ全くわれの衷にあり 神の氣息なほわが鼻にあり)
4 surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.
わが口は惡を言ず わが舌は謊言を語らじ
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
我決めて汝等を是とせじ 我に死るまで我が罪なきを言ことを息じ
6 I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
われ堅くわが正義を持ちて之を棄じ 我は今まで一日も心に責られし事なし
7 “Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
我に敵する者は惡き者と成り我を攻る者は義からざる者と成るべし
8 For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
邪曲なる者もし神に絶れその魂神を脱とらるるに於ては何の望かあらん
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
かれ艱難に罹る時に神その呼號を聽いれたまはんや
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
かれ全能者を喜こばんや 常に神を龥んや
11 I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.
われ神の御手を汝等に教へん 全能者の道を汝等に隱さじ
12 Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
視よ汝等もみな自らこれを觀たり 然るに何ぞ斯愚蒙をきはむるや
13 “This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
惡き人の神に得る分 強暴の人の全能者より受る業は是なり
14 If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
その子等蕃れば劍に殺さる その子孫は食物に飽ず
15 Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.
その遺れる者は疫病に斃れて埋められ その妻等は哀哭をなさず
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
かれ銀を積むこと塵のごとく衣服を備ふること土のごとくなるとも
17 he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.
その備ふる者は義き人これを着ん またその銀は無辜者これを分ち取ん
18 He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
その建る家は蟲の巣のごとく また番人の造る茅家のごとし
19 He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
彼は富る身にて寢臥し重ねて興ること無し また目を開けば即ちその身きえ亡す
20 Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
懼ろしき事大水のごとく彼に追及き 夜の暴風かれを奪ひ去る
21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
東風かれを颺げて去り 彼をその處より吹はらふ
22 For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.
神かれを射て恤まず 彼その手より逃れんともがく
23 Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
人かれに對ひて手を鳴し嘲りわらひてその處をいでゆかしむ
