Job 18

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

1 书亚人比勒达回答说：

2 “How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.

2 “你要狡辩到何时呢？ 你先想清楚，然后我们再谈。

3 Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?

3 为何你把我们当作牲畜， 把我们视为蠢货？

4 You who tear yourself in anger—should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?

4 你这气得要撕碎自己的人， 大地会因你而荒凉吗？ 磐石会因你而挪移吗？

5 Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.

5 “恶人的光必熄灭。 他的火焰不再闪耀。

6 The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.

6 他帐篷中灯光暗淡， 他上面的灯熄灭了。

7 His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.

7 恶人强劲的步伐变得蹒跚， 他必被自己的阴谋所害。

8 For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.

8 他自陷网罗， 步入圈套。

9 A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.

9 套索缠住他的脚跟， 网罗紧紧地罩住他。

10 A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.

10 土里埋着绊他的绳索， 路上有陷阱等待着他。

11 Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.

11 恐惧四面笼罩着他， 步步紧追着他。

12 His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.

12 他饿得气力衰竭， 灾祸随时临到他。

13 It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.

13 疾病侵蚀他的皮肉， 可怕的死亡吞噬他的肢体。

14 He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.

14 他被拖出安稳的帐篷， 被押到冥王 那里。

15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.

15 他的帐篷燃烧着烈焰， 他的居所撒满了硫磺。

16 The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.

16 他下面的根茎枯干， 上面的枝子枯萎。

17 The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.

17 他从世上销声匿迹， 无人记得他的名字。

18 He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.

18 他从光明中被赶入黑暗， 他被逐出这个世界。

19 He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.

19 他在本族中无子无孙， 他所居之地无人生还。

20 Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.

20 他的下场令西方的人震惊， 令东方的人战栗。

21 Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”

21 这就是不义之人的归宿， 不认识上帝之人的下场。”
