伯27:1 约伯继续他的讲论，说：
伯27:1 And Job again took up the word and said,
伯27:2 “永活的 神夺去我的公理，全能者使我心中痛苦。
伯27:2 By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;
伯27:3 只要我的生命还在我里面， 神赐我的气息还在我鼻孔里，
伯27:3 (For all my breath is still in me, and the spirit of God is my life;)
伯27:4 我的嘴唇决不说不义之言，我的舌头也不讲诡诈之语。
伯27:4 Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.
伯27:5 我绝对不以你们为是，我到死也不放弃我的纯全；
伯27:5 Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.
伯27:6 我坚守我的义决不放松，我一生的日子我的心必不责备我。
伯27:6 I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.
伯27:7 愿我的敌人如恶人一般，愿那起来攻击我的像不义的人一样。
伯27:7 Let my hater be like the evil man, and let him who comes against me be as the sinner.
伯27:8 不敬虔的人被剪除， 神夺去他性命的时候还有什么指望呢？
伯27:8 For what is the hope of the sinner when he is cut off, when God takes back his soul?
伯27:9 患难临到他身上的时候， 神会垂听他的哀求吗？
伯27:9 Will his cry come to the ears of God when he is in trouble?
伯27:10 他以全能者为乐，时时求告 神吗？
伯27:10 Will he take delight in the Ruler of all, and make his prayer to God at all times?
伯27:11 我藉 神的能力教导你们，我不向你们隐瞒全能者的事。
伯27:11 I will give you teaching about the hand of God; I will not keep secret from you what is in the mind of the Ruler of all.
伯27:12 你们都亲自见过，你们为什么成了这么虚妄呢？
伯27:12 Truly, you have all seen it yourselves; why then have you become completely foolish?
伯27:13 这是恶人从 神所得的分，强暴的人从全能者所得的业。
伯27:13 This is the punishment of the evil-doer from God, and the heritage given to the cruel by the Ruler of all.
伯27:14 即使他的儿女增多，还是被刀剑所杀，他的子孙也必永不得饱食；
伯27:14 If his children are increased, it is for the sword; and his offspring have not enough bread.
伯27:15 他的遗族在死人中埋葬，他的寡妇也都不哀哭。
伯27:15 When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.
伯27:16 他虽然堆积银子如尘沙，预备衣服如泥土，
伯27:16 Though he may get silver together like dust, and make ready great stores of clothing;
伯27:17 他尽管预备，义人却要穿上；他的银子，无辜的人也要瓜分。
伯27:17 He may get them ready, but the upright will put them on, and he who is free from sin will take the silver for a heritage.
伯27:18 他建造房屋如蜘蛛结网，又如守望者所搭的棚。
伯27:18 His house has no more strength than a spider's thread, or a watchman's tent.
伯27:19 他虽然躺下的时候富有，却不再这样；他一张开双眼，财富就不在了。
伯27:19 He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.
伯27:20 惊恐必如众水追上他，暴风在夜间把他刮去。
伯27:20 Fears overtake him like rushing waters; in the night the storm-wind takes him away.
伯27:21 东风把他吹起，他就消逝；又把他卷起，离开原来的地方。
伯27:21 The east wind takes him up and he is gone; he is forced violently out of his place.
伯27:22 神射击他，毫不留情，他甚愿快快逃脱 神的手。
伯27:22 God sends his arrows against him without mercy; he goes in flight before his hand.
伯27:23 有人向他拍掌，发嘶声赶他离开原来的地方。”
伯27:23 Men make signs of joy because of him, driving him from his place with sounds of hissing.
