Job 17:1-16.
JOB'S ANSWER CONTINUED.
1. breath . . . corrupt--result of elephantiasis. But UMBREIT, "my strength (spirit) is spent."
extinct--Life is compared to an expiring light. "The light of my day is extinguished."
graves--plural, to heighten the force.

2. 翁布雷特（UMBREIT）更着力地译作：“只要我无须忍受嘲弄，纵然在他们争竞之中，我（我的眼）也能安静。”
眼睛安然（eye continue）——希伯来文作“留宿”，取自夜间安睡的比喻，表示不受干扰的安息；与伯16:20相对，那里约伯的眼被描绘为不得安宁地向神流泪。
Original en inglés
2. UMBREIT, more emphatically, "had I only not to endure mockery, in the midst of their contentions I (mine eye) would remain quiet."
eye continue--Hebrew, "tarry all night"; a figure taken from sleep at night, to express undisturbed rest; opposed to
(Job 16:20),
when the eye of Job is represented as pouring out tears to God without rest.

3. 愿你交出（Lay down now）——即交出当头或担保；意即：求你作我的保人；求你证实我的无辜，因我的朋友只是嗤笑我（伯17:2）。诉讼双方在受审前都须交出一笔款项作担保。
为我担保（put me in a surety）——（在审判中）为你我之间预备一位保人。这是那“中保”（来7:22），即“神与人之间的一位中保”的预表（参伯16:21注释）。
击掌（strike hands）——“除了神自己以外，还有谁能与我击掌呢？”即作我的担保（诗119:122）。希伯来人为所担保的对象击掌（箴6:1）。
Original en inglés
3. Lay down now--namely, a pledge or security; that is, be my surety; do Thou attest my innocence, since my friends only mock me
(Job 17:2).
Both litigating parties had to lay down a sum as security before the trial.
put me in a surety--Provide a surety for me (in the trial) with Thee. A presage of the "surety"
(Heb 7:22),
or "one Mediator between God and man" (see on
Job 16:21).
strike hands--"who else (save God Himself) could strike hands with me?" that is, be my security
(Ps 119:122).
The Hebrew strikes the hand of him for whom he goes security
(Pr 6:1).

4. 他们的心（their heart）——指他朋友的悟性。
要……高举（shalt . . . exalt）——更当为命令式：“不要高举他们”；不容让他们得胜[翁布雷特（UMBREIT）]（赛6:9、10）。
Original en inglés
4. their heart--The intellect of his friends.
shalt . . . exalt--Rather imperative, "exalt them not"; allow them not to conquer [UMBREIT],
(Isa 6:9, 10).

5. “谄媚”的希伯来文原为“光滑”；后来引申为拈阄所分的猎物，因掣签时用的是光滑的石头（申18:8），即“一份”（创14:24）。故当译作：“那将朋友当作猎物交出去的（我朋友们所行的正暗示他们会如此行），连眼睛”云云[诺伊斯（NOYES）]（伯11:20）。约伯这话是论罪人的儿女，反将他们关于他儿女被剪除的责备还敬他们（伯5:4；15:30）。这与旧约律法报应的施行相符（出20:5）。
Original en inglés
5. The Hebrew for "flattery" is "smoothness"; then it came to mean a prey divided by lot, because a smooth stone was used in casting the lots
(De 18:8),
"a portion"
(Ge 14:24).
Therefore translate, "He that delivers up his friend as a prey (which the conduct of my friends implies that they would do), even the eyes," &c. [NOYES]
(Job 11:20).
Job says this as to the sinner's children, retorting upon their reproach as to the cutting off of his
(Job 5:4; 15:30).
This accords with the Old Testament dispensation of legal retribution
(Ex 20:5).

6. 祂（He）——指神。诗人论到神所降的灾祸时，恭敬地隐去神的名。
笑谈（by-word）——（申28:37；诗69:11）。我可怕的刑罚使我的名到处被人咒诅，仿佛我必定是坏到极处才遭此报。
从前……鼓瑟（aforetime . . . tabret）——如大卫从前所受的尊荣（撒上18:6）。更可能源自另一希伯来文字根：“我在人前被当作厌恶之物”，原文作“当面被人吐唾沫之物”（民12:14）。Raca 一词也是如此（太5:22）[翁布雷特（UMBREIT）]。
Original en inglés
6. He--God. The poet reverentially suppresses the name of God when speaking of calamities inflicted.
by-word--
(De 28:37; Ps 69:11).
My awful punishment makes my name execrated everywhere, as if I must have been superlatively bad to have earned it.
aforetime . . . tabret--as David was honored
(1Sa 18:6).
Rather from a different Hebrew root, "I am treated to my face as an object of disgust," literally, "an object to be spit upon in the face"
(Nu 12:14).
So Raca means
(Mt 5:22)
[UMBREIT].

7. （诗6:7；31:9；申34:7）。
肢体（members）——原文作“形状”；因身体各肢体都是身体独特的形态；与“影子”相对，影子看起来像一个没有实体的形状。
Original en inglés
7.
(Ps 6:7; 31:9; De 34:7).
members--literally, "figures"; all the individual members being peculiar forms of the body; opposed to "shadow," which looks like a figure without solidity.
8
Sin título
简体中文
8. 诧异（astonied）——因我无辜受苦而惊诧。
对假冒为善的人（against the hypocrite）——正直人必因恶人的兴旺而感到公义受损（“将要发怒”）。“假冒为善的人”或“不敬虔之人”，他也许是暗指他那些虚伪的朋友。
Original en inglés
8. astonied--at my unmerited sufferings.
against the hypocrite--The upright shall feel their sense of justice wounded ("will be indignant") because of the prosperity of the wicked. By "hypocrite" or "ungodly," he perhaps glances at his false friends.
9

简体中文
9. 宗教原则的力量因不幸而增强。敬虔人将从受苦之约伯的榜样中得着新的勇气，坚持到底。这意象取自在争战中重新得勇的战士（赛40:30、31；腓1:14）。
Original en inglés
9. The strength of religious principle is heightened by misfortune. The pious shall take fresh courage to persevere from the example of suffering Job. The image is from a warrior acquiring new courage in action
(Isa 40:30, 31; Php 1:14).
10

10. 回转（return）——你们若有什么真正明智的话可说——虽然我怀疑——就请重新发言。因为至今我在你们众人中找不到一个智慧人。
Original en inglés
10. return--If you have anything to advance really wise, though I doubt it, recommence your speech. For as yet I cannot find one wise man among you all.
11
Sin título

11. 只是不要徒然论到我健康的恢复；因“我的日子已经过了”。
断绝（broken off）——如织布从织机上剪断的线（赛38:12）。
心思（thoughts）——原文作“所有物”，即我心曾怀的一切感受与美好的盼望。这些属于心，正如“旨意”属于悟性；两者合在此处描述整个内在的人。
Original en inglés
11. Only do not vainly speak of the restoration of health to me; for "my days are past."
broken off--as the threads of the web cut off from the loom
(Isa 38:12).
thoughts--literally, "possessions," that is, all the feelings and fair hopes which my heart once nourished. These belong to the heart, as "purposes" to the understanding; the two together here describe the entire inner man.
12
Sin título
简体中文
12. 他们（They）——即“我的朋友们”。
以黑夜为白昼（change the night into day）——即试图说服我，我的苦难已转为喜乐；这是不可能的[翁布雷特（UMBREIT）]（伯11:17）；（然而）兴旺之光（若能享受）必短促，因有逆境之黑暗。或更佳的是，“短促”更当按希伯来文译作“近”；“新兴旺之光在死亡黑暗的面前应当临近了”；即他们要说服我光已临近，尽管黑暗逼近。
Original en inglés
12. They--namely, "my friends."
change the night into day--that is, would try to persuade me of the change of my misery into joy, which is impossible [UMBREIT]
(Job 11:17);
(but) the light of prosperity (could it be enjoyed) would be short because of the darkness of adversity. Or better for "short," the Hebrew "near"; "and the light of new prosperity should be near in the face of (before) the darkness of death"; that is, they would persuade me that light is near, even though darkness approaches.

13. 更宜译作:“若我以这坟墓(示阿勒,即未见之世)为我的房屋而等候,在黑暗中铺我的床榻
(Job 17:14),
并对朽坏说”,更宜作“对坑”或“坟墓”说等等
(Job 17:15)。
我的盼望在哪里呢?[UMBREIT]。应句在
Job 17:15。
Original en inglés
13. Rather, "if I wait for this grave (Sheol, or the unseen world) as my house, and make my bed in the darkness
(Job 17:14),
and say to corruption," rather, "to the pit" or "grave," &c.
(Job 17:15).
Where then is my hope? [UMBREIT]. The apodosis is at
Job 17:15.
14

14. Thou art my father等——表达最亲密的联合
(Pr 7:4)。
他的病态使他密切亲近于坟墓与虫。
Original en inglés
14. Thou art my father, &c.--expressing most intimate connection
(Pr 7:4).
His diseased state made him closely akin to the grave and worm.
15
Sin título
简体中文
15. 谁能看见这事成就?即他们向他提出的“盼望”\n (Job 11:18)——复兴之望。
Original en inglés
15. Who shall see it fulfilled? namely, the "hope"
(Job 11:18)
which they held out to him of restoration.
16
Sin título
简体中文
16. They——即我的盼望将与我同葬。
bars——见
(Isa 38:10)。
更宜作:坑(示阿勒,即未见之世)的荒凉或寂寞。
rest together——我与我的盼望同息于等等。二者同归于尽。“息”一词暗示人不息的盼望只会夺取他的安息。
Original en inglés
16. They--namely, my hopes shall be buried with me.
bars--
(Isa 38:10).
Rather, the wastes or solitudes of the pit (sheol, the unseen world).
rest together--the rest of me and my hope is in, &c. Both expire together. The word "rest" implies that man's ceaseless hopes only rob him of rest.
伯17:1-16。
约伯的答复（续）
1. 气息……败坏（breath . . . corrupt）——为大麻风（elephantiasis）所致的结果。但翁布雷特（UMBREIT）译作：“我的力量（心灵）已经耗尽。”
熄灭（extinct）——生命被比作将熄的灯火。“我白昼的光已经熄灭了。”
坟墓（graves）——用复数以加强语气。
