约伯记第17章

《圣经》约伯记-第17章

伯17:1 我的心灵消耗，我的日子灭尽；坟墓为我预备好了。 (串)申28:65诗143:7|诗88:3-4

†[吕]我的生气（同词：灵）断绝了，我的年日消尽了，所留给我的只有坟地。

†[思]我的气息已断，寿命已尽，而且坟墓已为我做好。

†[当代]“我的心灵破碎，我的日子耗尽，坟墓已经敞开来迎接我。

†[新译]“我的气息将断，我的日子快尽，坟墓已为我预备好了。

†[Wlb]我神已衰、我日已尽、邱墓已为我备、

†[Xdv]我就要完了，气息就要断了；坟墓已在等我进去。

†[Kjv]My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

†[Nkjv]"My spirit is broken, My days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.

†[BBE]My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.

†[GNT] The end of my life is near. I can hardly breathe; there is nothing left for me but the grave.

†[NIV]My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave awaits me.

本会注释　　消耗。直译是“毁灭”，“破坏”。该词在赛10:27译为“撑断（毁坏）”。心灵。希伯来语是ruchi（气息）。
　　本章继续约伯从16章开始的抱怨。从逻辑上说，本章与16本章是浑为一体的。如果有分界线，那也是在伯16:21。
　　灭尽。约伯觉得自己快死了。
　　坟墓。该词在七十士译本和武加大译本均为单数。希伯来语的复数可以解释为坟墓中安葬尸体的各墓室。

伯17:2 真有戏笑我的在我这里，我眼常见他们惹动我。 (串)撒上1:6-7

†[吕]实在的、我左右都是戏弄讥笑；我的眼老跟他们的挑激住一起。

†[思]我岂不是成了笑骂的对象？我的眼睛岂不是在酸苦中过夜？

†[当代]到处都是嘲笑我的人，他们包围著我。

†[新译]真有嘲笑人的在我这里，我的眼看着他们的悖逆。

†[Wlb]姗笑者偕我、彼之激我、我目恒睹之、

†[Xdv]到处有人嘲弄我；我整天面对着他们的冷笑。

†[Kjv]Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?

†[Nkjv]Are not mockers with me? And does not my eye dwell on their provocation?

†[BBE]Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.

†[GNT] I watch how bitterly everyone mocks me.

†[NIV]Surely mockers surround me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility.

本会注释　　戏笑我的。约伯的朋友们坚持认为，如果他悔改自己的罪，上帝就会饶他的命。他们甚至把的光明兴旺的前景摆在他面前。但在约伯看来，这个前景太遥远了，简直就像开玩笑。
　　他们惹动我。“惹动”的词根是“悖逆”。意思似乎是，约伯从这些戏笑里得不到解脱。

伯17:3 愿主拿凭据给我，自己为我作保。在你以外谁肯与我击掌呢？ (串)诗119:122赛38:14来7:22|箴6:1;17:18;22:26

†[吕]“愿主拿保证给我，亲自为我作保；有谁肯同我顿手，为我担保呢？

†[思]求你将我的抵押放在你那！谁还敢与我击掌作保？

†[当代]难道没有一个人可以证明我是清白的吗？上帝啊！是你使他们不明白的，求你别让他们得胜啊！

†[新译]愿你给我保证，亲自为我作保；除你以外有谁肯与我击掌作保呢？

†[Wlb]祈给一质、自为我保、尔外、谁与我拊掌乎、

†[Xdv]上帝啊，求你为我作保；你以外，没有别人肯证实我的话。

†[Kjv]Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?

†[Nkjv]"Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who is he who will shake hands with me?

†[BBE]Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.

†[GNT] I am being honest, God. Accept my word. There is no one else to support what I say.

†[NIV]Give me, O God, the pledge you demand. Who else will put up security for me?

本会注释　　拿凭据给我。这是司法术语。约伯呼求上帝与他一同到庭。“凭据”是指法庭在立案调查以前所收取的费用。如果我们了解古代司法的程序，对这一段就会更加清楚。约伯似乎希望上帝保证他能公平地进行诉讼。
　　作保。可能又是一项司法要求。含义不明。也许指诉讼当事人相互保证遵守法官的裁决。
　　击掌。表示批准某一协议（见箴6:1；17:18）。

伯17:4 因你使他们心不明理，所以你必不高举他们。

†[吕]因为你隐蔽着他们的心、不让明理，故此你不高举他们。

†[思]因为你蒙蔽了他们的心，不叫他们明白，他们不敢举起手来。

†[当代]－

†[新译]你蒙蔽了他们的心，不让他们明白；因此你必不高举他们。

†[Wlb]尔蔽其心、懵焉无智、故尔弗高举之、

†[Xdv]你闭塞了他们的理性；求你不要让他们胜过我。

†[Kjv]For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

†[Nkjv]For You have hidden their heart from understanding; Therefore You will not exalt them.

†[BBE]You have kept their hearts from wisdom: for this cause you will not give them honour.

†[GNT] You have closed their minds to reason; don't let them triumph over me now.

†[NIV]You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore you will not let them triumph.

本会注释　　指他的朋友们。他肯定上帝不会让他们获胜。

伯17:5 控告他的朋友、以朋友为可抢夺的，连他儿女的眼睛也要失明。 (串)伯11:20;31:16

†[吕]那为分东分西而说朋友坏话的、连他子孙的眼也必失明。

†[思]人请自己的朋友分享所有，但自己的子女却饿的眼目昏花。

†[当代]凡受贿来诽谤朋友的，他们的后裔必要失明。

†[新译]为分产业而控告朋友的，他子孙的眼睛也要昏花。

†[Wlb]凡控其友朋、以为可劫者、其子之目必盲、

†[Xdv]古训说：为金钱出卖朋友的人，他的子孙将受连累（或译：人设筵招待朋友，自己的儿女却饿得眼目昏花）。

†[Kjv]He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

†[Nkjv]He who speaks flattery to his friends, Even the eyes of his children will fail.

†[BBE]As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children.

†[GNT] In the old proverb someone betrays his friends for money, and his children suffer for it.

†[NIV]If a man denounces his friends for reward, the eyes of his children will fail.

本会注释　　控告他的朋友。有人认为这是指把朋友出卖给强盗的人。若是这样，约伯是把他的朋友们比作把邻居的行踪告诉强盗，好让他们抢劫的人。
　　连他儿女。儿女被父母的灾难殃及。

伯17:6 上帝使我作了民中的笑谈；他们也吐唾沫在我脸上。 (串)申28:37伯30:9诗44:14;69:11|伯30:10

†[吕]他使我成为万族民中的笑谈；我也成了被人吐唾沫于脸上的人。

†[思]我成了人民取笑的资料，人人在我脸上可吐唾沫。

†[当代]祂使我成为别人的笑柄，他们在我脸上吐唾沫。

†[新译]他使我成为民众的笑柄，人人都吐唾沫在我的脸上。

†[Wlb]上帝使我为民话柄、彼众亦唾我面、

†[Xdv]现在他们拿这话来攻击我；他们吐唾沫在我的脸上。

†[Kjv]He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.

†[Nkjv]"But He has made me a byword of the people, And I have become one in whose face men spit.

†[BBE]He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport.

†[GNT] And now people use this proverb against me; they come and spit in my face.

†[NIV]God has made me a byword to everyone, a man in whose face people spit.

本会注释　　笑谈。约伯在苦难确实流传了下来。但不像他所预料的。他很好地忍受痛苦，成为一段忍耐的佳话（见雅5:11）。
　　唾沫。希伯来语是topheth。英文KJV的tabret来自topheth和toph（手鼓）的混合。

伯17:7 我的眼睛因忧愁昏花；我的百体好象影儿。 (串)诗6:7;31:9|伯8:9;14:2

†[吕]我的眼睛因受苦恼而昏花，我的躯体竟像影儿。

†[思]我的眼睛因愁闷而昏花，我的肢体消失有如荫影。

†[当代]我双眼因为哭泣已经迷朦，现在的我只是从前的一个影儿。

†[新译]我的眼睛因忧愁而昏花，我的身体瘦骨如柴。

†[Wlb]我目因忧而眊、肢体如影、

†[Xdv]悲伤几乎使我眼睛瞎了；我的手脚消瘦像影儿。

†[Kjv]Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.

†[Nkjv]My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, And all my members are like shadows.

†[BBE]My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.

†[GNT] My grief has almost made me blind; my arms and legs are as thin as shadows.

†[NIV]My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow.

本会注释　　我的眼睛。见诗6:7；31:9。
　　影儿。约伯骨瘦如柴，筋疲力尽。

伯17:8 正直人因此必惊奇；无辜的人要兴起攻击不敬虔之辈。 (串)赛52:14

†[吕]正直人必因此而惊讶；无辜人必对不拜上帝之辈而振奋。

†[思]正直人因此而惊异，无罪者愤起攻击恶人。

†[当代]正直的人看见我这个样子会感到震惊，但善良的人终要起来胜过那些恶人。

†[新译]正直人必因此惊讶，要被激发起来，攻击不敬虔的人。

†[Wlb]正人因此骇异、无辜者奋兴、以攻不虔之人、

†[Xdv]那些自以为正直的人都震惊；他们谴责我不虔不敬。

†[Kjv]Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

†[Nkjv]Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.

†[BBE]The upright are surprised at this, and he who has done no wrong is troubled because of the evil-doers.

†[GNT] Those who claim to be honest are shocked, and they all condemn me as godless.

†[NIV]Upright men are appalled at this; the innocent are aroused against the ungodly.

本会注释　　惊奇。正直的人会感到奇怪，为什么忠诚的人竟遭遇如此可怕的苦难。
　　兴起。正直的人将攻击不敬虔的人。约伯可能指他的朋友们。但不很明确。

伯17:9 然而，义人要持守所行的道；手洁的人要力上加力。 (串)伯22:30

†[吕]然而义人总要执守他所行的路；手洁净的人必越发有力量。

†[思]义人坚持自己的道，手净的人倍增勇气。

†[当代]义人必会长进，手洁心清的人心更有力量。”

†[新译]义人必坚守自己的道路，手洁的人要力上加力。

†[Wlb]然义人仍守厥道、手洁者久而弥强、

†[Xdv]那些自以为高尚的人越有信心；自以为清白的人越有勇气。

†[Kjv]The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

†[Nkjv]Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.

†[BBE]Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength.

†[GNT] Those who claim to be respectable are more and more convinced they are right.

†[NIV]Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger.

本会注释　　约伯似乎指他自己。他自称是正直的人，虽然饱受委屈，仍将“持守所行的道”。尽管他遭遇诱惑和不幸，仍坚信能坚持下去。他心中已建立起信念。灾难可以摇动他，但是不能摧毁他的忠贞（见林后4:8,9）。

伯17:10 至于你们众人，可以再来辩论吧！你们中间，我找不着一个智慧人。

†[吕]至于你们众人呢、回来吧！来吧！你们中间、我找不着一个有智慧的人呀。

†[思]你们众人，请你们再回来，但在你们中我找不到一个智者。

†[当代]“你们还是改天再来好了，在你们中间我找不著一个智慧人。

†[新译]然而你们众人，可以再来，在你们中间我找不到一个有智慧的人。

†[Wlb]尔曹其复来、我于尔中、不得一哲人也、

†[Xdv]可是让他们都来站在我面前；我实在找不出一个贤明的人。

†[Kjv]But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

†[Nkjv]"But please, come back again, all of you, For I shall not find one wise man among you.

†[BBE]But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

†[GNT] But if all of them came and stood before me, I would not find even one of them wise.

†[NIV]But come on, all of you, try again! I will not find a wise man among you.

本会注释　　你们可以再来攻击，辩论和无情地指责。你们将再次暴露自己缺乏智慧。

伯17:11 我的日子已经过了；我的谋算、我心所想望的已经断绝。 (串)伯7:6;9:25

†[吕]我的日子已经过去，我的计画、我心所想望的、已被拆坏。

†[思]我的时日已过去，我志所谋，我心所爱，都已落空。

†[当代]我美好的日子已经消逝，我的计划已经破碎，就是我的希望也幻灭了。

†[新译]我的日子已过，我的谋算和我心中所想的都已粉碎。

†[Wlb]我日已逝、我志所谋、我心所愿、俱已绝矣、

†[Xdv]我的日子已经过去，我的计划粉碎；我的希望也已幻灭。

†[Kjv]My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.

†[Nkjv]My days are past, My purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.

†[BBE]My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart.

†[GNT] My days have passed; my plans have failed; my hope is gone.

†[NIV]My days have passed, my plans are shattered, and so are the desires of my heart.

本会注释　　约伯实际上是在问：“我现在所遭遇的又有什么吗？”恢复的希望全都没有了。他的话就像垂死之人的喘息。

伯17:12 他们以黑夜为白昼，说：亮光近乎黑暗。 (串)伯11:17

†[吕]人们（传统：门闩）将黑夜变为白昼，说：亮光几乎等于黑暗。

†[思]他们将黑夜变为白天，使光明靠近黑暗；

†[当代]他们颠倒昼夜，曲解是非。

†[新译]他们把黑夜变为白昼，因为黑暗的缘故，他们就说：‘光明临近了。’

†[Wlb]彼众变夜为昼、谓光近暗、

†[Xdv]我的朋友们指黑夜为白昼；他们说光明已近，其实还是黑夜。

†[Kjv]They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.

†[Nkjv]They change the night into day; "The light is near,' they say, in the face of darkness.

†[BBE]They are changing night into day; they say, The light is near the dark.

†[GNT] But my friends say night is daylight; they say that light is near, but I know I remain in darkness.

†[NIV]These men turn night into day; in the face of darkness they say, 'Light is near.'

本会注释　　指约伯的朋友。他们试图让约伯相信，如果他悔改，黑暗就会过去（伯5:18-26；8:21,22；11:15-19）。他们以自己的方式表达了他们的看法：“黎明以前是最黑暗的时辰”。他们似乎缺乏诚意。约伯没有从这些保证中得到安慰。

伯17:13 我若盼望阴间为我的房屋，若下榻在黑暗中， (串)伯21:13

†[吕]假使我盼望阴间做我的房屋，假使我在黑暗中展开我的铺盖，

†[思]若是我还有希望，即以阴府为我的家；在忧暗之处，设我的床榻。

†[当代]如果我死了，我便要进到黑暗里，称坟墓为父，称蛆虫为母亲、姊妹。

†[新译]我若等待阴间作我的家，在黑暗中铺张我的床榻；

†[Wlb]我若冀阴府为室、于幽暗下榻、

†[Xdv]我惟一的盼望是阴间；在那里，我可以在黑暗中躺下长眠。

†[Kjv]If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

†[Nkjv]If I wait for the grave as my house, If I make my bed in the darkness,

†[BBE]If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark;

†[GNT] My only hope is the world of the dead, where I will lie down to sleep in the dark.

†[NIV]If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in darkness,

本会注释　　阴间。希伯来语是she'ol（坟墓）。约伯指望坟墓能让他脱离苦难，得到安息。

伯17:14 若对朽坏说：你是我的父；对虫说：你是我的母亲姐妹；

†[吕]假使我对冥坑呼叫说：‘你是我父亲’，对蛆虫说：‘你是我母亲，我姐妹’，

†[思]我对墓穴说：你作我父！对蛆说：你作我母，我妹！

†[当代]－

†[新译]我若对深坑说：‘你是我的父亲’，对虫说：‘你是我的母亲，我的姊妹’，

†[Wlb]谓墓为父、谓虫为母、为姊、

†[Xdv]我要称坟墓为父，称侵蚀我的蛆虫为母，为姊妹。

†[Kjv]I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.

†[Nkjv]If I say to corruption, "You are my father,' And to the worm, "You are my mother and my sister,'

†[BBE]If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;

†[GNT] I will call the grave my father, and the worms that eat me I will call my mother and my sisters.

†[NIV]if I say to corruption, 'You are my father,' and to the worm, 'My mother' or 'My sister,'

本会注释　　有父亲比喻死亡。再用母亲姐妹比喻阴性的“虫”。

伯17:15 这样，我的指望在哪里呢？我所指望的谁能看见呢？

†[吕]那么、我的指望在哪里呢？我所指望的、谁能望得见呢？

†[思]我的希望究在何处？我的幸福，有谁注意？

†[当代]这时候，我的指望在哪里呢？又有谁会关心我的指望呢？

†[新译]那么，我的指望在哪里呢？我的指望谁能看得见呢？

†[Wlb]则我所望安在、我所冀者、其孰见之、

†[Xdv]我的希望在哪里呢？谁看出我有希望呢？

†[Kjv]And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

†[Nkjv]Where then is my hope? As for my hope, who can see it?

†[BBE]Where then is my hope? and who will see my desire?

†[GNT] Where is there any hope for me? Who sees any?

†[NIV]where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?

本会注释　　这是一个难解之谜。他的朋友们曾经提出过希望。但对于一个行将就木的人来说，希望在哪里呢？

伯17:16 等到安息在尘土中，这指望必下到阴间的门闩那里了。 (串)伯3:17-19|伯21:26;40:13

†[吕]所指望的要同我（传统：门闩）下到阴间么？或是我们要一同落（传统：安息）于尘土中呢？”

†[思]这一切只有和我一同降入阴府，一同安息在灰尘中。

†[当代]它只会跟随我一起进入坟墓里，与我同归尘土。”

†[新译]等到安息在尘土中的时候，那些指望必下到阴间的门闩那里。”

†[Wlb]迨至安寝于土、则所望者、下及阴府之楗而已、

†[Xdv]当我下阴间的时候，“希望”会跟我一道去吗？

†[Kjv]They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

†[Nkjv]Will they go down to the gates of Sheol? Shall we have rest together in the dust?"

†[BBE]Will they go down with me into the underworld? Will we go down together into the dust?

†[GNT] Hope will not go with me when I go down to the world of the dead.

†[NIV]Will it go down to the gates of death ? Will we descend together into the dust?"

本会注释　　关于“下（到阴间）”的主语尚有分歧。按照语法规则，该动词需要阴性复数主语，但是句中没有，上下文中也找不到。有人把阳性名词“门闩”当作主语，译为：“坟墓的门闩下去吗？”有人以阴性单数名词“指望”为主语，译为：“指望必下到阴间的门闩。”
　　约伯以完全绝望的语气结束了他的话。坟墓似乎是他唯一的希望。
