Job 18

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

1 書亞人比勒達回答說：

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

2 你尋索言語要到幾時呢？ 你可以揣摩思想，然後我們就說話。

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

3 我們為何算為畜生， 在你眼中看作污穢呢？

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

4 你這惱怒將自己撕裂的， 難道大地為你見棄、 磐石挪開原處嗎？

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

5 惡人的亮光必要熄滅； 他的火焰必不照耀。

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

6 他帳棚中的亮光要變為黑暗； 他以上的燈也必熄滅。

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

7 他堅強的腳步必見狹窄； 自己的計謀必將他絆倒。

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

8 因為他被自己的腳陷入網中， 走在纏人的網羅上。

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

9 圈套必抓住他的腳跟； 機關必擒獲他。

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

10 活扣為他藏在土內； 羈絆為他藏在路上。

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

11 四面的驚嚇要使他害怕， 並且追趕他的腳跟。

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

12 他的力量必因飢餓衰敗； 禍患要在他旁邊等候。

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

13 他本身的肢體要被吞吃； 死亡的長子要吞吃他的肢體。

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

14 他要從所倚靠的帳棚被拔出來， 帶到驚嚇的王那裏。

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

15 不屬他的必住在他的帳棚裏； 硫磺必撒在他所住之處。

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

16 下邊，他的根本要枯乾； 上邊，他的枝子要剪除。

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

17 他的記念在地上必然滅亡； 他的名字在街上也不存留。

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

18 他必從光明中被攆到黑暗裏， 必被趕出世界。

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

19 在本民中必無子無孫； 在寄居之地也無一人存留。

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

20 以後來的要驚奇他的日子， 好像以前去的受了驚駭。

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

21 不義之人的住處總是這樣； 此乃不認識上帝之人的地步。
