約伯記 18
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
比勒達發言
18 書亞人比勒達回答說:
2 「你要狡辯到何時呢?
你先想清楚,然後我們再談。
3 為何你把我們當作牲畜,
把我們視為蠢貨?
4 你這氣得要撕碎自己的人,
大地會因你而荒涼嗎?
磐石會因你而挪移嗎?
5 「惡人的光必熄滅。
他的火焰不再閃耀。
6 他帳篷中一片黑暗,
他上面的燈光熄滅。
7 惡人強勁的步伐變得蹣跚,
他必被自己的陰謀所害。
8 他自陷網羅,
步入圈套。
9 套索纏住他的腳跟,
網羅緊緊地罩住他。
10 土裡埋著絆他的繩索,
路上有陷阱等待著他。
11 恐懼四面籠罩著他,
步步緊追著他。
12 他餓得氣力衰竭,
災禍隨時臨到他。
13 疾病侵蝕他的皮肉,
死亡吞噬他的肢體。
14 他被拖出安穩的帳篷,
被押到冥王[a]那裡。
15 他的帳篷燃燒著烈焰,
他的居所撒滿了硫磺。
16 他下面的根莖枯乾,
上面的枝子枯萎。
17 他從世上銷聲匿跡,
無人記得他的名字。
18 他從光明中被趕入黑暗,
他被逐出這個世界。
19 他在本族中無子無孫,
他所居之地無人生還。
20 他的下場令西方的人震驚,
令東方的人戰慄。
21 這就是不義之人的結局,
不認識上帝之人的下場。」

Bildad
18 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “When will you end these speeches?(B)
Be sensible, and then we can talk.
3 Why are we regarded as cattle(C)
and considered stupid in your sight?(D)
4 You who tear yourself(E) to pieces in your anger,(F)
is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?
Or must the rocks be moved from their place?(G)
5 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out;(H)
the flame of his fire stops burning.(I)
6 The light in his tent(J) becomes dark;(K)
the lamp beside him goes out.(L)
7 The vigor(M) of his step is weakened;(N)
his own schemes(O) throw him down.(P)
8 His feet thrust him into a net;(Q)
he wanders into its mesh.
9 A trap seizes him by the heel;
a snare(R) holds him fast.(S)
10 A noose(T) is hidden for him on the ground;
a trap(U) lies in his path.(V)
11 Terrors(W) startle him on every side(X)
and dog(Y) his every step.
12 Calamity(Z) is hungry(AA) for him;
disaster(AB) is ready for him when he falls.(AC)
13 It eats away parts of his skin;(AD)
death’s firstborn devours his limbs.(AE)
14 He is torn from the security of his tent(AF)
and marched off to the king(AG) of terrors.(AH)
15 Fire resides[a] in his tent;(AI)
burning sulfur(AJ) is scattered over his dwelling.
16 His roots dry up below(AK)
and his branches wither above.(AL)
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth;(AM)
he has no name(AN) in the land.(AO)
18 He is driven from light into the realm of darkness(AP)
and is banished(AQ) from the world.(AR)
19 He has no offspring(AS) or descendants(AT) among his people,
no survivor(AU) where once he lived.(AV)
20 People of the west are appalled(AW) at his fate;(AX)
those of the east are seized with horror.
21 Surely such is the dwelling(AY) of an evil man;(AZ)
such is the place(BA) of one who does not know God.”(BB)

Bildad: The Wicked Are Punished
18 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long till you put an end to words?
Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.
3 Why are we counted (B)as beasts,
And regarded as stupid in your sight?
4 (C)You[a] who tear yourself in anger,
Shall the earth be forsaken for you?
Or shall the rock be removed from its place?
5 “The(D) light of the wicked indeed goes out,
And the flame of his fire does not shine.
6 The light is dark in his tent,
(E)And his lamp beside him is put out.
7 The steps of his strength are shortened,
And (F)his own counsel casts him down.
8 For (G)he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.
9 The net takes him by the heel,
And (H)a snare lays hold of him.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.
11 (I)Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
12 His strength is starved,
And (J)destruction is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his [b]limbs.
14 He is uprooted from (K)the shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.
15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
16 (L)His roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.
17 (M)The memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name [c]among the renowned.
18 [d]He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased out of the world.
19 (N)He has neither son nor posterity among his people,
Nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 Those [e]in the west are astonished (O)at his day,
As those [f]in the east are frightened.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who (P)does not know God.”
