Job 10

1 “I loathe my own life; I will express my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.

1 “我厌恶自己的生命， 我要倾诉我的哀怨， 吐露心中的苦水。

2 I will say to God: Do not condemn me! Let me know why You prosecute me.

2 我对上帝说，‘不要定我的罪。 请告诉我，你为何指控我？

3 Does it please You to oppress me, to reject the work of Your hands and favor the schemes of the wicked?

3 难道你喜悦压迫、鄙视你造的人， 却青睐恶人的计谋？

4 Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as man sees?

4 难道你的眼是肉眼， 目光如凡人一般？

5 Are Your days like those of a mortal, or Your years like those of a man,

5 难道你的年日像人一样有限， 岁月如世人般短暂？

6 that You should seek my iniquity and search out my sin—

6 以致你探查我的过犯， 追究我的罪愆？

7 though You know that I am not guilty, and there is no deliverance from Your hand?

7 其实你知道我没有犯罪， 无人能从你手中解救我。

8 Your hands shaped me and altogether formed me. Would You now turn and destroy me?

8 “‘你亲手造我塑我， 现在却要毁灭我。

9 Please remember that You molded me like clay. Would You now return me to dust?

9 别忘了你用泥土造我 ， 难道要使我复归尘土？

10 Did You not pour me out like milk, and curdle me like cheese?

10 你不是将我像奶一样倒出， 使我像奶酪一样凝固吗？

11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.

11 你给我穿上皮肉， 用筋骨把我编织。

12 You have granted me life and loving devotion, and Your care has preserved my spirit.

12 你赐我生命给我慈爱， 你的眷顾使我保全性命。

13 Yet You concealed these things in Your heart, and I know that this was in Your mind:

13 “‘但你心中藏着计划， 我知道你早有此意，

14 If I sinned, You would take note, and would not acquit me of my iniquity.

14 我若犯罪，你就鉴察， 不肯赦免我的罪。

15 If I am guilty, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and aware of my affliction.

15 我若有罪，便遭祸患； 即使清白，也不敢抬头， 因为我饱尝羞辱，吃尽苦头。

16 Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me.

16 我若昂首挺立， 你会像狮子般追捕我， 再次施展大能攻击我。

17 You produce new witnesses against me and multiply Your anger toward me. Hardships assault me in wave after wave.

17 你重新派证人指控我， 你对我越来越愤怒， 使军队轮流攻击我。

18 Why then did You bring me from the womb? Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seen me!

18 你为何让我出母腹？ 我不如当时就死去， 不被世人看见，

19 If only I had never come to be, but had been carried from the womb to the grave.

19 好像我从未出生， 一出母腹就被送进坟墓。

20 Are my days not few? Withdraw from me, that I may have a little comfort,

20 我的年日不是所剩无几吗？ 求你放过我， 让我欢乐片刻。

21 before I go—never to return—to a land of darkness and gloom,

21 我很快就一去不返， 进入幽冥黑暗之地。

22 to a land of utter darkness, of deep shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”

22 那里一片漆黑，幽暗混乱； 那里的光犹如黑暗。’”
