# 伯-Job 29 ## 伯29:1 约伯又接着说： Job 29:1 “And Job again took up his discourse, and said:” ## 伯29:2 “惟愿我的景况如从前的月份，如神保守我的日子。 Job 29:2 “Oh, that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me,” ## 伯29:3 那时他的灯照在我头上，我藉他的光行过黑暗。 Job 29:3 “when his lamp shone upon my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,” ## 伯29:4 我愿如壮年的时候：那时我在帐棚中，神待我有密友之情； Job 29:4 “as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent,” ## 伯29:5 全能者仍与我同在，我的儿女都环绕我。 Job 29:5 “when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were all around me,” ## 伯29:6 奶多可洗我的脚，磐石为我出油成河。 Job 29:6 “when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!” ## 伯29:7 我出到城门，在街上设立座位。 Job 29:7 “When I went out to the gate of the city, when I prepared my seat in the square,” ## 伯29:8 少年人见我而回避，老年人也起身站立； Job 29:8 “the young men saw me and withdrew, and the aged rose and stood;” ## 伯29:9 王子都停止说话，用手捂口； Job 29:9 the princes refrained from talking and laid their hand on their mouth; ## 伯29:10 首领静默无声，舌头贴住上膛。 Job 29:10 “the voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.” ## 伯29:11 耳朵听我的，就称我有福；眼睛看我的，便称赞我。 Job 29:11 “When the ear heard, it called me blessed, and when the eye saw, it approved,” ## 伯29:12 因我拯救哀求的困苦人和无人帮助的孤儿。 Job 29:12 “because I delivered the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to help him.” ## 伯29:13 将要灭亡的为我祝福；我也使寡妇心中欢乐。 Job 29:13 “The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.” ## 伯29:14 我以公义为衣服；以公平为外袍和冠冕。 Job 29:14 “I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban.” ## 伯29:15 我为瞎子的眼，瘸子的脚。 Job 29:15 I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. ## 伯29:16 我为穷乏人的父；素不认识的人，我查明他的案件。 Job 29:16 “I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.” ## 伯29:17 我打破不义之人的牙床，从他牙齿中夺了所抢的。 Job 29:17 I broke the fangs of the unrighteous and made him drop his prey from his teeth. ## 伯29:18 “我便说，我必死在家中(原文作“窝中”)，必增添我的日子，多如尘沙。 Job 29:18 “Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand,” ## 伯29:19 我的根长到水边，露水终夜沾在我的枝上。 Job 29:19 “my roots spread out to the waters, with the dew all night on my branches,” ## 伯29:20 我的荣耀在身上增新，我的弓在手中日强。 Job 29:20 “my glory fresh with me, and my bow ever new in my hand.’” ## 伯29:21 人听见我而仰望，静默等候我的指教。 Job 29:21 Men listened to me and waited and kept silence for my counsel. ## 伯29:22 我说话之后，他们就不再说；我的言语象雨露滴在他们身上。 Job 29:22 “After I spoke they did not speak again, and my word dropped upon them.” ## 伯29:23 他们仰望我如仰望雨；又张开口如切慕春雨。 Job 29:23 “They waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.” ## 伯29:24 他们不敢自信，我就向他们含笑；他们不使我脸上的光改变。 Job 29:24 “I smiled on them when they had no confidence, and the light of my face they did not cast down.” ## 伯29:25 我为他们选择道路，又坐首位。我如君王在军队中居住，又如吊丧的安慰伤心的人。” Job 29:25 “I chose their way and sat as chief, and I lived like a king among his troops, like one who comforts mourners.”
