约伯记第9章

《圣经》约伯记-第9章

伯9:1 约伯回答说：

†[吕]约伯回答说：

†[思]约伯答覆说：

†[当代]约伯回答说：

†[新译]约伯回答说：

†[Wlb]约伯曰、

†[Xdv]乔布接着回答：

†[Kjv]Then Job answered and said,

†[Nkjv]Then Job answered and said:

†[BBE]And Job made answer and said,

†[GNT] Yes, I've heard all that before.

†[NIV]Then Job replied:

本会注释　　第九和第十章记录了约伯的第三次讲话。他承认上帝的全知全能和自己的软弱。然后他对自己的痛苦，发出又一次哀怨。

伯9:2 我真知道是这样；但人在上帝面前怎能成为义呢？ (串)伯25:4诗143:2罗3:20林前4:4

†[吕]“我真知道是这样；但人同上帝相比、怎能算为义呢？

†[思]我确实知道事情是这样，但人怎能同天主讲理？

†[当代]“对，这一切我都知道，你的话没有什么新鲜之处。可是，人在上帝的眼中怎样才能成为义呢？

†[新译]“我实在知道是这样，但是，人在　神面前怎能算为公义呢？

†[Wlb]我诚知其若是、但人于上帝前、安能为义、

†[Xdv]是的，这道理我都知道；但人在上帝面前怎能胜诉呢？

†[Kjv]I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

†[Nkjv]"Truly I know it is so, But how can a man be righteous before God?

†[BBE]Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?

†[GNT] But how can a human being win a case against God?

†[NIV]Indeed, I know that this is true. But how can a mortal be righteous before God?

本会注释　　是这样。约伯承认比勒达的观点是对的。
　　人怎能成为义呢？约伯并不怀疑上帝的公义。他承认上帝的公义。他想知道，作为一个人，他怎样才能在上帝面前成为义？他的际遇似乎表明他有罪，但他的良心又见证自己的无辜。约伯的疑问，只有在救恩计划的启示中，才能找到完全的答案。藉着这个计划，上帝“使人知道祂自己为义，也称信耶稣的人为义”（罗3:26）。

伯9:3 若愿意与他争辩，千中之一也不能回答。 (串)本章14伯10:2

†[吕]人若愿意同他辩论，千项也不能回答他一项阿。

†[思]人若愿意同天主辩论，千个问题中，谁也回答不出一个。

†[当代]如果人要与祂争论，人所能答辩的，恐怕是千中无一了。

†[新译]人若愿意与他辩论，连千分之一也答不出来。

†[Wlb]若欲与辩、千难答一、

†[Xdv]谁能跟他争辩呢？他能提出千百个问题，而没有人能回答（或译：人能问他千百个问题；他却不愿回答）。

†[Kjv]If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

†[Nkjv]If one wished to contend with Him, He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.

†[BBE]If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.

†[GNT] How can anyone argue with him? He can ask a thousand questions that no one could ever answer.

†[NIV]Though one wished to dispute with him, he could not answer him one time out of a thousand.

本会注释　　人与上帝完全不同。他无法回答祂的问题和指责。

伯9:4 他心里有智慧，且大有能力。谁向上帝刚硬而得亨通呢？ (串)本章19伯12:13;36:5;37:23林前10:22|出7:13

†[吕]他心里有智慧，并且能力强大；谁向上帝强硬、还得安全呢？

†[思]虽心中明智，力量强大，但谁能对抗天主，而保平安？

†[当代]祂是这样的充满智慧，又是这样的大有能力，有哪一个曾经反抗祂而得到成功呢？

†[新译]他心里有智慧，而且有极大的能力，有谁对他刚硬而平安无事呢？

†[Wlb]其心明、其力强、自愎而敌之者、孰能亨通、

†[Xdv]上帝大智大能；谁能抗拒他而生存？

†[Kjv]He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

†[Nkjv]God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?

†[BBE]He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?

†[GNT] God is so wise and powerful; no one can stand up against him.

†[NIV]His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?

本会注释　　得亨通。希伯来语是shalam，“完全”，“稳妥”，“平安”。 shalam与一个阿拉伯词根有关，含有“顺服”的意思。

伯9:5 他发怒，把山翻倒挪移，山并不知觉。

†[吕]他发怒时把山翻倒，把山挪移，山也不知；

†[思]他可移山，山却不知；他一发怒，山即翻转；

†[当代]祂会猝然把高山移动，在怒气中把它翻倒。

†[新译]他在怒中移山翻冈；山冈却不知道；

†[Wlb]彼发怒以倾山、移山而山不觉、

†[Xdv]他不发警告而挪移大山，在忿怒中把山翻倒。

†[Kjv]Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.

†[Nkjv]He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger;

†[BBE]It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath:

†[GNT] Without warning he moves mountains and in anger he destroys them.

†[NIV]He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger.

本会注释　　人类把山视为庞大和稳妥的象征。但上帝能把山翻倒挪移。

伯9:6 他使地震动，离其本位，地的柱子就摇撼。 (串)伯26:11赛2:19,21;13:13该2:6|诗75:3

†[吕]他使地震动、离其本位，地的柱子就摇撼；

†[思]他振摇大地，使之脱离原处，地柱随之摇撼震动；

†[当代]祂又摇动大地，把地基也震撼了。

†[新译]他使大地震动离开本处，大地的柱子就摇撼；

†[Wlb]使地震而离所、其柱动摇、

†[Xdv]他使大地震动，离开原位；他摇撼大地的支柱。

†[Kjv]Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

†[Nkjv]He shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;

†[BBE]Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking:

†[GNT] God sends earthquakes and shakes the ground; he rocks the pillars that support the earth.

†[NIV]He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble.

本会注释　　使地震动。无疑指地震（王上19:11；见诗104:32；亚14:4,5；太24:7）。
　　地的柱子就摇撼。这是用诗歌的语言描述地震。不必解释柱子的意思。

伯9:7 他吩咐日头不出来，就不出来，又封闭众星。

†[吕]他一吩咐太阳，太阳就不放光；他又封闭众星；

†[思]他一下令，太阳即不升起，星辰即封闭不动；

†[当代]只要祂一下命令，太阳便不会升起，众星也不再发光。

†[新译]他吩咐太阳，太阳就不上升，又封闭众星；

†[Wlb]命日则不出、封星则不见、

†[Xdv]他使太阳升不起来，使星星发不出光辉。

†[Kjv]Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

†[Nkjv]He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals off the stars;

†[BBE]Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining.

†[GNT] He can keep the sun from rising, and the stars from shining at night.

†[NIV]He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars.

本会注释　　上帝对大自然有绝对的控制权。圣经经常提到自然的现象是上帝大能的显示（见出10:21；结32:7；珥2:31；太24:29；启6:12；16:10）。

伯9:8 他独自铺张苍天，步行在海浪之上。 (串)伯26:7诗104:2赛40:22耶10:12;51:15亚12:1

†[吕]他独自伸展了苍天，踏行于海浪之丘；

†[思]惟有他展开天空，步行海波之上；

†[当代]惟有祂展开了天空，又在海浪上踱步。

†[新译]他独自铺开苍天，步行在海浪之上；

†[Wlb]独张天宇、履蹈海涛、

†[Xdv]他独自铺张诸天，脚踏在海怪背上。

†[Kjv]Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

†[Nkjv]He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;

†[BBE]By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:

†[GNT] No one helped God spread out the heavens or trample the sea monster's back.

†[NIV]He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.

本会注释　　铺张苍天。见诗104:2；赛40:22；耶10:12。通过呼吁关注上帝的创作，来称颂祂的全知全能。
　　海浪。描述上帝有制服大浪的能力。

伯9:9 他造北斗、参星、昴星，并南方的密宫； (串)伯38:32|伯38:31摩5:8|伯37:9赛21:1

†[吕]他造了北斗、参星、昴星和南方的密宫。

†[思]他创造了北斗和参宿，昂星及南极星辰；

†[当代]祂创造了北斗星、参星、昴星和南方的群星。

†[新译]他造北斗与参星，昴星和南方的星座；

†[Wlb]造北斗参昴、及南方之宫、

†[Xdv]他在天空悬挂群星──北斗、猎户星、昂星，和南极的星群。

†[Kjv]Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

†[Nkjv]He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;

†[BBE]Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:

†[GNT] God hung the stars in the sky - the Dipper, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars of the south.

†[NIV]He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

本会注释　　北斗。希伯来语是`ash（`ayish，伯38:32）。未能十分确定。许多人认为是指大熊星座（见@伯38:32@注释）。
　　参星。希伯来语是kesil，直译是“傻瓜”。但不能确定星座的名字来自同一个词根“傻瓜”。一般认为kesil是“参星”，即猎户星座（见@伯38:31@注释）。
　　昴星。希伯来语是kimah。有人认为`ash译为昴星，而kimah则是其他明亮的恒星，如天狼星。在七十士译本中，这三个希伯来词语分别译为：昴星，金星和北斗（见@伯38:31@注释）。
　　南方的密宫。可能是天空南部没有提到名字的一些星座，或南方天外的广大太空。

伯9:10 他行大事，不可测度，行奇事，不可胜数。 (串)伯5:9

†[吕]他行着大事不可测度，显奇妙作为不可胜数。

†[思]他所作的大事，不可胜数。

†[当代]上帝所做的奇事深不可测，多得不可胜数。

†[新译]他所行的大事无法测度，所行的奇事不可胜数。

†[Wlb]行大事不可测、行奇事不胜数、

†[Xdv]我们不了解他所做的大事；他奇异的作为无穷无尽。

†[Kjv]Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

†[Nkjv]He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number.

†[BBE]Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.

†[GNT] We cannot understand the great things he does, and to his miracles there is no end.

†[NIV]He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

本会注释　　本节的与伯5:9以利法的话完全一样。以利法视上帝创造的奇迹为上帝良善的表现，而约伯似乎只看到了上帝的大能。这些话可能是古代有信仰的人所常说的。

伯9:11 他从我旁边经过，我却不看见；他在我面前行走，我倒不知觉。 (串)伯23:8-9

†[吕]阿，他若从我旁边经过，我也看不见；他掠过去，我也不觉得。

†[思]他由我身旁经过，我却没有看见；他走过去，我仍没有发觉。

†[当代]祂经过我的身旁，我却不能看见；祂移动，我也不能察觉。

†[新译]他行过我身边，我却看不见；他掠过去，我竟不觉察。

†[Wlb]过我而我不见、前行而我不觉、

†[Xdv]上帝从我旁边经过，我看不见他；他从我面前掠过，我也没有发觉。

†[Kjv]Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

†[Nkjv]If He goes by me, I do not see Him; If He moves past, I do not perceive Him;

†[BBE]See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.

†[GNT] God passes by, but I cannot see him.

†[NIV]When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.

本会注释　　我却不看见。在看得见的世界和看不见的世界之间，有着明显的界线。约伯可能在思索以利法所说有灵在他面前经过的事（伯4:15,16）。他宣称自己没有这样的体验。即使灵界在他旁边经过，他也看不见，感觉不到，也没有从中得到什么神奇的指引。
　　在我面前行走。希伯来语是chalaph。以利法在描述有灵造访时也用了这个词（伯4:15）。
　　我不知觉。以利法宣称自己亲身体验过灵的造访（伯4:15,16），听见灵的声音（伯4:16-21）。约伯则说自己没有得到过这样的好处。

伯9:12 他夺取，谁能阻挡？谁敢问他：你做什么？ (串)伯11:10|赛45:9罗9:20

†[吕]他若夺取，谁能阻挡他呢？谁敢问他：‘你作什么？’？

†[思]他若抢夺，谁能阻挡？谁能问他说：“你作什么？”

†[当代]倘若祂要夺取人的生命，有哪一个能够阻止祂呢？又有哪一个敢问祂‘你在干什么’呢？”

†[新译]他夺取，谁能拦阻他？谁敢问他：‘你干什么？’

†[Wlb]彼取之、谁能拒之、孰问之曰、尔何为耶、

†[Xdv]他随意拿走他所要的，没有人能阻止他；谁敢问他：你做什么呢？

†[Kjv]Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?

†[Nkjv]If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, "What are You doing?'

†[BBE]If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?

†[GNT] He takes what he wants, and no one can stop him; no one dares ask him, "What are you doing?"

†[NIV]If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, 'What are you doing?'

本会注释　　参伯11:10节和伯23:13节。当灾难临到时，约伯的反应是：“赏赐的是耶和华，收取的也是耶和华；耶和华的名是应当称颂的（伯1:21）”。这是信心的回应。时间和无休止的痛苦摧毁了约伯的意志。绝望代替了信靠。约伯没有认识到上帝的智慧和慈爱，只看到自己的软弱。突发性的悲剧往往不如单调而持续的痛苦那样催残人的精神。

伯9:13 上帝必不收回他的怒气；扶助拉哈伯的，屈身在他以下。 (串)伯26:12诗89:10赛30:7;51:9

†[吕]上帝也不转消他的怒气；拉哈龙的助手也俯首于他以下。

†[思]天主一愤怒，决不收回。为虎作伥的，必屈伏在他以下。

†[当代]“上帝的怒气一发出就不会收回；在祂面前，人的狂傲要彻底崩溃。

†[新译]　神必不抑制他的怒气，海怪拉哈伯的助手都俯伏在他以下。

†[Wlb]上帝不回厥怒、助拉哈伯者、屈伏于其下、

†[Xdv]上帝的忿怒不止息；那些帮助海怪拉哈伯的人都屈服在他脚下。

†[Kjv]If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.

†[Nkjv]God will not withdraw His anger, The allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath Him.

†[BBE]God's wrath may not be turned back; the helpers of Rahab were bent down under him.

†[GNT] God's anger is constant. He crushed his enemies who helped Rahab, the sea monster, oppose him.

†[NIV]God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.

本会注释　　扶助拉哈伯的。希伯来语是`ozre rahab。见伯26:12和赛51:9。有人认为Rahab在古代指邪恶的大势力。按照这一设想，约伯在这里似乎是说上帝不仅管理人类，而且管理着比人更有能力的生灵，如拉哈伯及其帮助者。拉哈伯（Rahab拉哈伯）意为骄傲，所以是指路锡甫和追随他的天使（见赛14:12-14；启12:7-9）。但约伯的话表明，他对于上帝和撒但之间的大斗争，只是有限的了解。

伯9:14 既是这样，我怎敢回答他，怎敢选择言语与他辩论呢？ (串)本章3

†[吕]何况我，我怎敢回答他，怎敢选择话语来同他辩论呢？

†[思]如此我怎敢回答，我怎敢措辞与他抗辩？

†[当代]我是谁？竟然跟全能的上帝争辩、甚至和祂理论呢？

†[新译]何况我呢？我怎敢回答他，措辞与他辩论呢？

†[Wlb]况我何敢答之、择言与辩、

†[Xdv]我怎能回答上帝呢？我怎敢跟他辩论呢？

†[Kjv]How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?

†[Nkjv]"How then can I answer Him, And choose my words to reason with Him?

†[BBE]How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?

†[GNT] So how can I find words to answer God?

†[NIV]How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?

本会注释　　第14-16节采用了司法用语。约伯承认自己无法进行有效的辩护。

伯9:15 我虽有义，也不回答他，只要向那审判我的恳求。 (串)伯10:15|伯8:5

†[吕]我虽理直，也不能回答他，我只能向那控诉我的恳求（或译：只能为我的理直而恳求）。

†[思]纵然有理，也不敢回答，唯有哀求我的判官开恩。

†[当代]我纵然无罪，也无话可说，我只可以求主施恩。

†[新译]即使我有理，也不敢回答，只向那审判我的求怜悯；

†[Wlb]我虽为义、亦不敢答、惟祈于鞫我者而已、

†[Xdv]我就算无辜，也不敢答辩；我只能向上帝──我的审判者求怜悯。

†[Kjv]Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.

†[Nkjv]For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge.

†[BBE]Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.

†[GNT] Though I am innocent, all I can do is beg for mercy from God my judge.

†[NIV]Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.

本会注释　　约伯承认上帝的至高无上。虽然他觉得自己是无辜的，但当他来到审判者面前时，仍呼求得到怜悯。

伯9:16 我若呼吁，他应允我；我仍不信他真听我的声音。

†[吕]我若呼求，而他若应我，我还是不信他侧耳听我的声音。

†[思]我向他呼求，纵然他答应我，我仍不相信他会听我的呼声。

†[当代]就是我的祷告已蒙应允，我也不敢相信祂已听见我的呼求。

†[新译]即使我呼求，他也回答我，我还是不信他会垂听我的声音。

†[Wlb]我若吁之而蒙允、犹不信其听我声、

†[Xdv]我就是召唤他，他应答了，我也不相信他肯听我。

†[Kjv]If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

†[Nkjv]If I called and He answered me, I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.

†[BBE]If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.

†[GNT] Yet even then, if he lets me speak, I can't believe he would listen to me.

†[NIV]Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing.

本会注释　　呼吁。希伯来语是qara'。本文显然指司法意义上的呼吁。约伯说，我要求与上帝辩论，上帝也同意了，叫我在祂的法庭上提出自己的理由，但我还是不能断定上帝是否真的允许我大胆地站在祂的面前，无约束地质疑祂的作为。在约伯看来，如此的傲慢似乎是不可思议的。

伯9:17 他用暴风折断我，无故地加增我的损伤。 (串)伯2:3伯34:6

†[吕]因为他用旋风摧残我，无缘无故加多我的创伤；

†[思]他为了一根头发而折磨我，无故增加我的创伤；

†[当代]因为祂是那毁灭者，无故地加添我的创伤；

†[新译]他用暴风伤害我，无缘无故加添我的创伤。

†[Wlb]彼以暴风折我、无故益我之伤、

†[Xdv]他用暴风摧残我，无缘无故地伤害我。

†[Kjv]For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

†[Nkjv]For He crushes me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.

†[BBE]For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.

†[GNT] He sends storms to batter and bruise me without any reason at all.

†[NIV]He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason.

本会注释　　折断我。在伯17-21中，约伯想象如果他与上帝争辩，而且上帝也回应他的争辩，结果会是怎样。他认为上帝不是像法官那样按照法规来判断事务，而是作为一个君主，凭自己的意志决定一切。约伯似乎没有看到，无上的主权是与至高的仁爱和公正结合在一起的。
　　无故地。希伯来语是chinnam。参伯2:3；1:9。约伯把撒但明显的作为和诡计归诸于上帝（伯2:3）。见@诗38:3；39:9@注释。

伯9:18 我就是喘一口气，他都不容，倒使我满心苦恼。

†[吕]我不容我喘一口气，倒使我饱受苦恼。

†[思]致使我不能喘一口气，使我饱尝苦辛。

†[当代]祂不让我喘息，倒使我满怀忧伤。

†[新译]他不让我喘一口气，却使我饱尝苦楚。

†[Wlb]不容我呼吸、以苦充我、

†[Xdv]他不容我喘一口气，却使我饱尝悲苦的滋味。

†[Kjv]He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

†[Nkjv]He will not allow me to catch my breath, But fills me with bitterness.

†[BBE]He would not let me take my breath, but I would be full of bitter grief.

†[GNT] He won't let me catch my breath; he has filled my life with bitterness.

†[NIV]He would not let me regain my breath but would overwhelm me with misery.

本会注释　　说上帝持续不断地惩罚，约伯连“喘一口气”也不能。

伯9:19 若论力量，他真有能力！若论审判，他说谁能将我传来呢？ (串)本章4|伯21:31;38:37-38耶49:19;50:44

†[吕]若论能力，他强大呀；若论审判权，他说：‘谁能定期传唤我呢？’

†[思]论力量，他强而有力；论审判，谁能将他传来？

†[当代]只有祂是大能、公正的。

†[新译]若论力量，他多么强大，若论诉讼，他说：‘谁能把我传来？’

†[Wlb]若论能力、彼则云我在此、若言讯鞫、彼则云谁定期、

†[Xdv]我用暴力吗？他多么强大！上法庭吗？谁敢传他（希伯来文是：我）出庭？

†[Kjv]If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

†[Nkjv]If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong; And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?

†[BBE]If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?

†[GNT] Should I try force? Try force on God? Should I take him to court? Could anyone make him go?

†[NIV]If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who will summon him ?

本会注释　　他真有能力。约伯对上帝的大能是没有疑问的。他对上帝大能的感受远超过对祂的大爱。
　　谁能将我传来呢？七十士译本为“那么谁能抗拒祂的审判呢？”

伯9:20 我虽有义，自己的口要定我为有罪；我虽完全，我口必显我为弯曲。 (串)伯15:6路19:22|伯1:1

†[吕]我虽理直，我自己的口必定我为恶；我虽纯全，他却要定我为乖僻。

†[思]我虽自以为正义，他的口却判定我有罪；我虽自觉无辜，他却证明我有偏差。

†[当代]至于我，我是公义的吗？连我的口也不承认。即使我是十全十美的，上帝也能宣告我的邪恶。

†[新译]即使我有理，我的口还是定我有罪；即使我完全，我的口还是判我乖谬。

†[Wlb]我虽为义、我口犹罪我、我虽纯全、我口犹证我背戾、

†[Xdv]我就算无辜，我的话却定我有罪；我就算清白，他要证明我的过错。

†[Kjv]If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

†[Nkjv]Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me; Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.

†[BBE]Though I was in the right, he would say that I was in the wrong; I have done no evil; but he says that I am a sinner.

†[GNT] I am innocent and faithful, but my words sound guilty, and everything I say seems to condemn me.

†[NIV]Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.

本会注释　　如果加以正确的理解，这句话是对的（见林前4:4）。但约伯从完全不同的角度来理解。他在想，受造者面对宇宙的主宰时，是没有任何机会的。

伯9:21 我本完全，不顾自己；我厌恶我的性命。 (串)伯7:16;10:1

†[吕]就使我纯全，我也不顾（同词：知）自己；我厌弃我自己的性命。

†[思]我是无辜的，我已不顾及我的生命，我已厌恶生活下去。

†[当代]我也不敢妄想自己是完全无罪的，我鄙视我自己。

†[新译]我虽然完全，却不顾我自己，倒厌恶我的生命。

†[Wlb]我乃纯全、而不自顾、厌我生命、

†[Xdv]我无罪，然而有什么用呢？我已经毫无生趣。

†[Kjv]Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

†[Nkjv]"I am blameless, yet I do not know myself; I despise my life.

†[BBE]I have done no wrong; I give no thought to what becomes of me; I have no desire for life.

†[GNT] I am innocent, but I no longer care. I am sick of living.

†[NIV]Although I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.

本会注释　　不顾自己。直译为“我不理解自己。”约伯似乎在为自己的无辜辩护。但他无法理解自己或自己的境遇。他十分矛盾，以致厌恶自己的性命。

伯9:22 善恶无分，都是一样；所以我说，完全人和恶人，他都灭绝。 (串)传9:2-3结21:3

†[吕]反正都是一样；故此我说：无论纯全邪恶、他都灭尽。

†[思]因此我说：都是一样。善人恶人，他一概灭绝。

†[当代]无论是善是恶，在祂眼中都没有分别，祂把善人、恶人都一并毁灭；

†[新译]所以我说，善恶都是一样，完全人和恶人，他都灭尽。

†[Wlb]事皆一致、故曰完人恶人、俱为上帝所灭、

†[Xdv]不管有罪无罪都是一样，反正上帝要毁灭我们。

†[Kjv]This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

†[Nkjv]It is all one thing; Therefore I say, "He destroys the blameless and the wicked.'

†[BBE]It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.

†[GNT] Nothing matters; innocent or guilty, God will destroy us.

†[NIV]It is all the same; that is why I say, 'He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.'

本会注释　　都是一样。在上帝的眼里，万物都一样的。义人和恶人的案子也没有什么区别。
　　所以我说。约伯将大胆地说出他的看法。
　　祂都灭绝。约伯认为，无法从上帝对待一个人的方式上去判断一个人的品格。上帝把义人和恶人一同消灭。

伯9:23 若忽然遭杀害之祸，他必戏笑无辜的人遇难。

†[吕]若有灾祸突然使人死亡，他是调弄无辜人之绝望（或译：灾难）。

†[思]若天灾突然降下使人猝死，他便嘲笑无罪者的绝望。

†[当代]看见善人遭遇不幸，祂会发笑。

†[新译]灾祸忽然把人杀害的时候，他就必嘲笑无辜人的遭遇。

†[Wlb]如灾忽行杀戮、无辜者遘难、彼必笑之、

†[Xdv]当灾祸带来突然的死亡，上帝便嘲笑无辜者的遭遇。

†[Kjv]If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.

†[Nkjv]If the scourge slays suddenly, He laughs at the plight of the innocent.

†[BBE]If death comes suddenly through disease, he makes sport of the fate of those who have done no wrong.

†[GNT] When an innocent person suddenly dies, God laughs.

†[NIV]When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent.

本会注释　　杀害之祸。约伯可能指战争，灾难或瘟疫。如果其中之一落到人身上时，就会不分对象一概殃及。上帝并不总是出来干预来拯救义人。
　　戏笑。这些放肆，无礼，尖刻的话，有人辩护说只是修辞手段而已。这种辩护是十分无力的。这显然是他后来在“尘土和炉灰”中忏悔的内容之一（见伯42:6）。

伯9:24 世界交在恶人手中；蒙蔽世界审判官的脸，若不是他，是谁呢？ (串)伯12:17

†[吕]地上交于恶人手中；地上审判官的脸、是他蒙蔽着；若不是他，那么是谁呢？

†[思]大地落在恶人的手，蒙蔽判官脸面的，不是他，是谁呢？

†[当代]全地都落在恶人的手中，因为上帝把世上审判官的眼睛都蒙敝起来；倘若不是祂，又有哪一个能够这样做呢？

†[新译]全世界交在恶人的手中，他蒙蔽世上审判官的脸，如果不是他，那么是谁呢？

†[Wlb]世界付于恶人之手、蒙蔽鞫者之面、为之者、非上帝而谁、

†[Xdv]上帝把世界交给邪恶的人；他使所有的审判官都瞎了眼。这不是出于他，是出于谁呢？

†[Kjv]The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?

†[Nkjv]The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, who else could it be?

†[BBE]The land is given into the power of the evil-doer; the faces of its judges are covered; if not by him, then who has done it?

†[GNT] God gave the world to the wicked. He made all the judges blind. And if God didn't do it, who did?

†[NIV]When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?

本会注释　　本节反映了约伯讲话中最深的沮丧和最黑暗的不信。他认为人类的现状要归咎于上帝。除此之外，不会有其他的人。

伯9:25 我的日子比跑信的更快，急速过去，不见福乐。 (串)伯7:6|耶51:31斯3:13,15;8:10代下30:6|赛18:2

†[吕]“我的日子比跑信的更快；它疾飞过去，不见福乐。

†[思]我的日月过去比跑信的还快；疾走而过，无福乐可享。

†[当代]我的生命匆匆地过去，满载著不幸。

†[新译]我的日子过得比信差还快，飞快逝去，不见福乐。

†[Wlb]我日速于邮传、趋而不见福祉、

†[Xdv]我的时光奔驰而去，没有一天好日子。

†[Kjv]Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

†[Nkjv]"Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good.

†[BBE]My days go quicker than a post-runner: they go in flight, they see no good.

†[GNT] My days race by, not one of them good.

†[NIV]My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy.

本会注释　　我的日子……更快。约伯用三个比喻说明他的人生迅速走向结局。
　　跑信的。快跑的信使。

伯9:26 我的日子过去如快船，如急落抓食的鹰。 (串)哈1:8

†[吕]它一掠而去，同蒲快艇一样；如急落攫食的兀鹰。

†[思]急急驶过，似芦苇船，如骤降攫食的鹰。

†[当代]我的岁月消逝如疾驰的快艇，又像急降抓食的兀鹰。”

†[新译]我的日子消逝有如快船，好像俯冲猛扑食物的鹰。

†[Wlb]日过如扁舟、又如疾下攫物之鹰、

†[Xdv]我的生命像轻舟掠过，像老鹰猛扑食物。

†[Kjv]They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.

†[Nkjv]They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.

†[BBE]They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.

†[GNT] My life passes like the swiftest boat, as fast as an eagle swooping down on a rabbit.

†[NIV]They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey.

本会注释　　快船。或“芦苇船”。为了轻便快速，而不是为了实用。
　　鹰。约伯提到了陆地和水中最快的以后，再指出空中最快的。他用这些事物比喻自己的生命快要达到终点。

伯9:27 我若说：我要忘记我的哀情，除去我的愁容，心中畅快； (串)伯7:11

†[吕]我若说：我要忘掉我的哀怨，要撇弃愁容，显着喜色；

†[思]我若决意忘掉我的哀怨，改变愁容，表示愉快；

†[当代]“虽然我决定尝试去忘掉我的怨恨，抛开愁容，使心中畅快，

†[新译]我若说：‘我要忘记我的苦情，要除去愁容，面露喜乐。’

†[Wlb]我若自谓、必忘我怨、去忧色、为欢容、

†[Xdv]我就是强颜欢笑，想忘记自己的痛苦，

†[Kjv]If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

†[Nkjv]If I say, "I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face and wear a smile,'

†[BBE]If I say, I will put my grief out of mind, I will let my face be sad no longer and I will be bright;

†[GNT] If I smile and try to forget my pain, all my suffering comes back to haunt me;

†[NIV]If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,'

本会注释　　我的哀情。直译是“我的面容”。即约伯悲伤的面容。他提出，尽管自己受苦，仍要振作精神，争取幸福。但他说这种努力也是无效的。

伯9:28 我因愁苦而惧怕，知道你必不以我为无辜。 (串)诗119:120|伯22:30

†[吕]我就惧怕我一切苦痛，因为我知道你必不以我为无辜。

†[思]但一想到我的痛苦，我就恐怖。我知道你决不以我为无辜。

†[当代]但上帝仍会加重我的悲哀。上帝啊，我知道你是不会放过我的，

†[新译]我就惧怕我的一切痛苦，因为我知道你必不以我为无辜。

†[Wlb]则因我苦而惧、知尔不以我为无辜、

†[Xdv]一切祸患来困扰我；我知道上帝不以我为无辜。

†[Kjv]I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

†[Nkjv]I am afraid of all my sufferings; I know that You will not hold me innocent.

†[BBE]I go in fear of all my pains; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes.

†[GNT] I know that God does hold me guilty.

†[NIV]I still dread all my sufferings, for I know you will not hold me innocent.

本会注释　　约伯的痛苦因惧怕上帝的惩罚而增加。灰心，疑惑和担忧，给约伯所带来的痛苦，不亚于肉身的痛苦。

伯9:29 我必被你定为有罪，我何必徒然劳苦呢？ (串)伯10:2

†[吕]无论如何、我总会被定为恶的；那么我何必徒然劳苦呢？

†[思]我若是有罪，又何苦白费心血？

†[当代]你只会定我的罪，那么，我又何必枉费心思去证明自己的清白呢？

†[新译]我既然被定为有罪，又何必徒然劳苦呢？

†[Wlb]我必见罪、何犹徒劳、

†[Xdv]既然我被判定有罪，我又何必喊叫屈？

†[Kjv]If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

†[Nkjv]If I am condemned, Why then do I labor in vain?

†[BBE]You will not let me be clear of sin! why then do I take trouble for nothing?

†[GNT] Since I am held guilty, why should I bother?

†[NIV]Since I am already found guilty, why should I struggle in vain?

本会注释　　我必被你定为有罪。直译为“我有罪”。约伯认为他的痛苦证明他是咎由自取。
　　我何必徒然劳苦呢？悲观的念头缠绕着约伯。他像其他许多受苦者一样，实际上是在说：“有什么用呢！”

伯9:30 我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手， (串)耶2:22

†[吕]我若用雪水洗身，用硷洁净手掌，

†[思]我即便用雪洗我身，用咸水洗我手，

†[当代]就是我拿雪水洗身，用硷水洗手来彻底清洁自己，

†[新译]我若用雪水洗净我的身，又用碱水洁净我的手，

†[Wlb]我即以雪濯身、以碱洁手、

†[Xdv]我就是用白雪洗涤自己，就是拿碱水洗手，

†[Kjv]If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

†[Nkjv]If I wash myself with snow water, And cleanse my hands with soap,

†[BBE]If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap;

†[GNT] No soap can wash away my sins.

†[NIV]Even if I washed myself with soap and my hands with washing soda,

本会注释　　雪水。象征完全洁净。
　　我的手。直译是“用碱洗净我的手”。

伯9:31 你还要扔我在坑里，我的衣服都憎恶我。 (串)伯19:19;30:10

†[吕]你还会将我蘸在坑里，以致连我的衣裳都厌恶我。

†[思]你却把我浸在泥坑内，甚至我的衣服都憎恶我。

†[当代]你也会把我扔进泥坑里。在你的心目中，我比这一身的肮脏衣服还要污秽！

†[新译]你还是把我扔入坑中，连我的衣服也憎恶我。

†[Wlb]尔必浸我于坑、我衣亦将厌我、

†[Xdv]上帝也要把我扔在污坑里；连我的衣服也都厌恶我。

†[Kjv]Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.

†[Nkjv]Yet You will plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes will abhor me.

†[BBE]Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.

†[GNT] God throws me into a pit with filth, and even my clothes are ashamed of me.

†[NIV]you would plunge me into a slime pit so that even my clothes would detest me.

本会注释　　在坑里。约伯说，我无论怎样努力洗净自己，都没有用。上帝还是会把我抛入泥坑里。
　　衣服。约伯的衣服拟人化了。衣服憎恨约伯。

伯9:32 他本不象我是人，使我可以回答他，又使我们可以同听审判。

†[吕]“因为他并不像我是个世人，使我可以回答他，或使我们可以上法庭、一同对讯的。

†[思]因为他不像我是个人，使我能答覆他，或让我们同去听审。

†[当代]我可真是百辞莫辩了，因为上帝不像我，祂不是一个人。如果祂是人，我们就可以一起理论，寻求公平的审判；然而，我们中间也没有仲裁人可以联络我们。

†[新译]他不像我是个人，使我可以答他，让我们一起对簿公堂。

†[Wlb]彼非人与我等、俾我应答、与同赴审、

†[Xdv]如果上帝跟我一样是人，我可以跟他答辩；我们可以一同上法庭，解决我们的纠纷。

†[Kjv]For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.

†[Nkjv]"For He is not a man, as I am, That I may answer Him, And that we should go to court together.

†[BBE]For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge.

†[GNT] If God were human, I could answer him; we could go to court to decide our quarrel.

†[NIV]He is not a man like me that I might answer him, that we might confront each other in court.

本会注释　　约伯觉得无望与上帝达成谅解。在上帝与他之间有鸿沟相隔。上帝是无限的，而约伯则痛苦地意识到他自己的必死和有限。

伯9:33 我们中间没有听讼的人可以向我们两造按手。

†[吕]他与我之间并没有仲裁者可以向我们两造按手。

†[思]在我们中间没有仲裁，可按手在我们两造之间。

†[当代]－

†[新译]我俩之间并没有仲裁者，能够按手在我们双方身上。

†[Wlb]其间无听讼者、措手于我两造、

†[Xdv]然而，他跟我之间没有仲裁者；没有人能够在上帝和我之间判断是非。

†[Kjv]Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

†[Nkjv]Nor is there any mediator between us, Who may lay his hand on us both.

†[BBE]There is no one to give a decision between us, who might have control over us.

†[GNT] But there is no one to step between us - no one to judge both God and me.

†[NIV]If only there were someone to arbitrate between us, to lay his hand upon us both,

本会注释　　听讼的人。或“仲裁人”。约伯觉得在自己与上帝争辩时缺乏一个仲裁者。他认为，只有符合下面二个条件中的一个，他与上帝的争论才比较公平：一，上帝放弃祂的神性而成为“人”；二，找到一位仲裁人来裁决争端。但约伯认为这两个条件都是达不到的。只有福音能满足这两个条件。“这位‘自有永有者’，乃是上帝和人类之间的“调解者”，。祂的手把握住双方。”（《历代愿望》第25页）。我们不必以为耶稣是要解决人类和上帝之间的争端。祂在人类面前代表上帝。通过祂人类得以理解和接近上帝。见来2:17,18。
　　向我们两造按手。有人认为这可能指一种古代的仪式。仲裁人按手在争讼的双方身上，象征他拥有控制双方的权力。他的责任就是把双方限制在一定的范围内，看看有没有不当的言辞，以保证争议能公正地进行。当然不能把上帝比作争论的一方，尽管约伯是这样认为的。

伯9:34 愿他把杖离开我，不使惊惶威吓我。 (串)伯21:9诗89:32赛10:24|伯13:21

†[吕]愿他使他的刑杖离开我，不使我惧怕他的心来使我惊惶；

†[思]但愿他的棍杖远离我，他的威严不要恐吓我，

†[当代]但愿祂不再责打我，我便不用终日惶恐。

†[新译]愿他使他的刑杖离开我，愿他可畏的威严不惊吓我，

†[Wlb]愿其杖离我、其威烈不复怖我、

†[Xdv]上帝啊，求你不再惩罚我！求你不再恐吓我。

†[Kjv]Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

†[Nkjv]Let Him take His rod away from me, And do not let dread of Him terrify me.

†[BBE]Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me:

†[GNT] Stop punishing me, God! Keep your terrors away!

†[NIV]someone to remove God's rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more.

本会注释　　约伯面对上帝的惩罚畏缩不前。他十分害怕。他认为只有上帝停止向他施加苦难，他才有机会为自己辩护。

伯9:35 我就说话，也不惧怕他，现在我却不是那样。

†[吕]那我就说话、也不惧怕他；因为独对自己、我本不是这样惧怕。

†[思]我好能讲话而不害怕；但是如今我并非如此。

†[当代]我就能够坦然无惧地对祂讲话，可以勇敢地告诉祂我是清白的。”

†[新译]我就说话，也不怕他，因为我本身并不是这种人。”

†[Wlb]我则敢言、无所畏葸、盖我自觉非若彼也、

†[Xdv]这样的话，我就大胆发言，不畏惧，因为我知道自己无辜。

†[Kjv]Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

†[Nkjv]Then I would speak and not fear Him, But it is not so with me.

†[BBE]Then I would say what is in my mind without fear of him; for there is no cause of fear in myself.

†[GNT] I am not afraid. I am going to talk because I know my own heart.

†[NIV]Then I would speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot.
