JobChapter 14 |
|
1 MAN that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. |
|
2 He comes forth like a flower, and withers and fades away; he flees like a shadow, and continues not. |
|
3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bring him into judgment with thee? |
|
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one. |
|
5 Seeing his days are determined and the number of his months are decreed, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot trespass them; |
|
6 Turn thy face away from him, and his days will be spent like a hireling. |
|
7 For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again and its tender shoots will not cease. |
|
8 Though its root wax old in the earth and its stock die in the ground, |
|
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud and bring forth leaves like a plant; |
|
10 But man dies, and fades away; yea, man perishes, and he is no more. |
|
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and a river becomes desolate and dries up; |
|
12 So man who lies down does not rise again; until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep. |
|
13 O that thou wouldst hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldst keep me in a secret place until thy wrath is spent, that thou wouldst appoint me a set time and remember me! |
|
14 If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of his youth he waits till old age comes. |
|
15 If thou wouldst call me, I would answer thee; thou wilt think of the work of thy hands. |
|
16 For now thou numberest not my steps: and thou keepest not watch over my sins. |
|
17 My transgressions are sealed up in a bag, and thou removest from me my sins. |
|
18 Truly a great mountain falls, and a rock moves out of its place. |
|
19 The waters wear away the stones and wash away the soil of the earth; so thou destroyest the hope of man. |
|
20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passes; thou castest him away with shame on his face. |
|
21 If his sons multiply, he does not know it; if they decrease, he perceives it not of them. |
|
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pal,, and his soul within him shall mourn. |
約伯記第14章 |
|
1 人乃婦女誕育、旣不永年、且多憂慮。 |
|
2 若花之向榮、而遭翦伐、若影之倏忽、而無定在。 |
|
3 人旣如是、爾何必過於追求、鞫其是非哉。 |
|
4 未有源濁而流清者。 |
|
5 人之生也、其數有定、其限難越、爾使之然、 |
|
6 姑舍我、俾得息肩、樂終天年、猶傭之喜於入息。 |
|
7 林木旣斫、萌櫱可望、生機難遏。 |
|
8 其植於地也、根雖老、幹雖槁、 |
|
9 潤以雨露、芽萌株發、可儗新栽。 |
|
10 人則異是、始則血衰、旣而氣絕、歸於無有。 |
|
11 如潦之易竭、如澮之立涸、 |
|
12 屈而不伸、寢而不寤、必也彼蒼窮盡之日、斯人有復生之時。 |
|
13 願上帝藏我於墓寢、否則處我於隱僻、以俟災消禍弭、又不然、定以何日、然後釋我。 |
|
14 人旣死亡、豈能復生、我生苦境、必有終年、乃逝世。 |
|
15 爾問我答、我爲爾所造、爾當眷顧。 |
|
16 乃勘我行事、察我愆尤、 |
|
17 錄我罪弗忘、增我過維倍。 |
|
18 山頹不起、磐移不囘。 |
|
19 霤穿石則漸靡、浪淘沙則不見、人而絕望亦若是。 |
|
20 爾殘人生命、使之逝世。變人容色、使之絕氣。 |
|
21 子孫之榮辱、俱不及知。 |
|
22 惟其身痛楚、其心殷憂而已。 |
