# 伯-Job 23 ## 伯23:1 约伯回答说： Job 23:1 Then Job answered and said: ## 伯23:2 “如今我的哀告还算为悖逆；我的责罚比我的唉哼还重。 Job 23:2 Today also my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy on account of my groaning. ## 伯23:3 惟愿我能知道在哪里可以寻见神，能到他的台前； Job 23:3 “Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!” ## 伯23:4 我就在他面前将我的案件陈明，满口辩白。 Job 23:4 I would lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments. ## 伯23:5 我必知道他回答我的言语，明白他向我所说的话。 Job 23:5 I would know what he would answer me and understand what he would say to me. ## 伯23:6 他岂用大能与我争辩吗？必不这样！他必理会我。 Job 23:6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; he would pay attention to me. ## 伯23:7 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。 Job 23:7 “There an upright man could argue with him, and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.” ## 伯23:8 “只是我往前行，他不在那里；往后退，也不能见他。 Job 23:8 “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him;” ## 伯23:9 他在左边行事，我却不能看见；在右边隐藏，我也不能见他。 Job 23:9 “on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him; he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him.” ## 伯23:10 然而他知道我所行的路；他试炼我之后，我必如精金。 Job 23:10 “But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.” ## 伯23:11 我脚追随他的步履，我谨守他的道，并不偏离。 Job 23:11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside. ## 伯23:12 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。 Job 23:12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food. ## 伯23:13 “只是他心志已定，谁能使他转意呢？他心里所愿的，就行出来。 Job 23:13 “But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does.” ## 伯23:14 他向我所定的，就必作成。这类的事他还有许多。 Job 23:14 “For he will complete what he appoints for me, and many such things are in his mind.” ## 伯23:15 所以我在他面前惊惶；我思念这事，便惧怕他。 Job 23:15 “Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider, I am in dread of him.” ## 伯23:16 神使我丧胆，全能者使我惊惶。 Job 23:16 God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me; ## 伯23:17 我的恐惧，不是因为黑暗，也不是因为幽暗蒙蔽我的脸。” Job 23:17 “yet I am not silenced because of the darkness, nor because thick darkness covers my face.”
