Job 27:1-23.
简体中文
Original en inglés
Job 27:1-23.
It was now Zophar's turn to speak. But as he and the other two were silent, virtually admitting defeat, after a pause Job proceeds.
1. parable--applied in the East to a figurative sententious embodiment of wisdom in poetic form, a gnome
(Ps 49:4).
continued--proceeded to put forth; implying elevation of discourse.

2. （撒上20:3）。
夺去……公理（taken away . . . judgment）——这些话不自觉地预示了耶稣基督（赛53:8；徒8:33）。神不肯宣告约伯无罪，不为他伸冤。
苦恼（vexed）——希伯来文作“使……发苦”（得1:20）。
Original en inglés
2.
(1Sa 20:3).
taken away . . . judgment--words unconsciously foreshadowing Jesus Christ
(Isa 53:8; Ac 8:33).
God will not give Job his right, by declaring his innocence.
vexed--Hebrew, "made bitter"
(Ru 1:20).

3. 暗示约伯知道活人的灵魂是神吹入人里面的（创2:7）。“始终”。但毛雷尔（MAURER）译作：“如今我的气息仍在我里面”（尽管我受试炼）：这就是他能如此大胆发言的缘故。
Original en inglés
3. Implying Job's knowledge of the fact that the living soul was breathed into man by God
(Ge 2:7).
"All the while." But MAURER, "As yet all my breath is in me" (notwithstanding my trials): the reason why I can speak so boldly.

4. （伯6:28、30）。“诡诈”乃是他若违背良心的见证而承认有罪。
Original en inglés
4.
(Job 6:28, 30).
The "deceit" would be if he were to admit guilt against the witness of his conscience.

5. 称你们为义（justify you）——即赞同你们的见解。
我的纯正（mine integrity）——你们因我的不幸而否认它。
Original en inglés
5. justify you--approve of your views.
mine integrity--which you deny, on account of my misfortunes.

6. 更当译作：我的“心”（良心）不责备我“任何一日”，即我自出母腹以来，没有一日是我所悔恨的[毛雷尔（MAURER）]。
Original en inglés
6. Rather, my "heart" (conscience) reproaches "not one of my days," that is, I do not repent of any of my days since I came into existence [MAURER].

7. 愿……为（Let . . . be）——愿我的仇敌被算为恶人，即：反对我自证无辜之宣告的人，必被视为受犯罪的敌意所驱使。并非对仇敌的咒诅。
Original en inglés
7. Let . . . be--Let mine enemy be accounted as wicked, that is, He who opposes my asseveration of innocence must be regarded as actuated by criminal hostility. Not a curse on his enemies.

8. “假冒为善的人尽管得了那么多，当他……之时，还有什么指望呢？”云云。“所得”与“拿去”相对。翁布雷特（UMBREIT）的译法是无意义的重复。“当神剪除，当祂拿去他的性命之时。”
拿去（taketh away）——原文作“抽出”灵魂离开身体，身体仿佛是灵魂的刀鞘（伯4:21；诗104:29；但7:15）。约伯说他承认比勒达（伯8:13）和琐法（伯20:5）所说的话。但他说，他在一切试炼中仍呼求神（伯27:10），假冒为善的人是不敢这样做的；这正表明他不是“假冒为善的人”。
Original en inglés
8. "What hope hath the hypocrite, notwithstanding all his gains, when?" &c. "Gained" is antithetic to "taketh away." UMBREIT'S translation is an unmeaning tautology. "When God cuts off, when He taketh away his life."
taketh away--literally, "draws out" the soul from the body, which is, as it were, its scabbard
(Job 4:21; Ps 104:29; Da 7:15).
Job says that he admits what Bildad said
(Job 8:13)
and Zophar
(Job 20:5).
But he says the very fact of his still calling upon God
(Job 27:10)
amid all his trials, which a hypocrite would not dare to do, shows he is no "hypocrite."

10. 暗指伯22:26。
常常呼求（always call）——他在兴旺之时可能如此行，为要被人视为敬虔。但他不会像我那样在临近死亡的灾祸中呼求神。故此我不可能是“假冒为善的人”（伯19:25；20:5；诗62:8）。
Original en inglés
10. Alluding to
Job 22:26.
always call--He may do so in times of prosperity in order to be thought religious. But he will not, as I do, call on God in calamities verging on death. Therefore I cannot be a "hypocrite"
(Job 19:25; 20:5; Ps 62:8).

11-23. 这些话与约伯先前的见解相反（参伯21:22-33；伯24:22-25注释）。故此它们似乎不是约伯陈述自己的见解，而是陈述琐法在轮到他时（第二十六章末）本会说的话。约伯先前也曾如此陈述朋友们的意见（伯21:17-21；24:18-21）。反对之处在于：若是如此，约伯为何不回答他自己所陈述的琐法的意见？事实是，约伯大概是心照不宣地在第二十八章中只作了一般性的回答，暗示：尽管恶人如他所说往往在兴旺中而死，他并不否认恶人大体上是按公义受报，神在此世也借此为其道德治理辩明。故此约伯把琐法的论据陈述得比琐法自己更强。但试将伯27:13与伯20:29（“分”、“产业”）比较，便可见约伯所陈述的乃是琐法的论据，而非他自己的。约伯暗示：就算此事属实，你们也不当以此为论据来定我的罪。因（伯28:1-28）神在使敬虔人受苦一事上的神圣智慧是不可测的；人所能确定的，只有敬畏主就是智慧（伯28:28）。
藉着手（by the hand）——更当译作：论及神的手，即神在治理人时所行的。
与全能者（with the Almighty）——即调节神作为的谋略或原则。
Original en inglés
11-23. These words are contrary to Job's previous sentiments (see on
Job 21:22-33;
Job 24:22-25).
Job 21:22-33; 24:22-25).
They therefore seem to be Job's statement, not so much of his own sentiments, as of what Zophar would have said had he spoken when his turn came (end of the twenty-sixth chapter). So Job stated the friends' opinion
(Job 21:17-21; 24:18-21).
The objection is, why, if so, does not Job answer Zophar's opinion, as stated by himself? The fact is, it is probable that Job tacitly, by giving, in the twenty-eighth chapter, only a general answer, implies, that in spite of the wicked often dying, as he said, in prosperity, he does not mean to deny that the wicked are in the main dealt with according to right, and that God herein vindicates His moral government even here. Job therefore states Zophar's argument more strongly than Zophar would have done. But by comparing
Job 27:13 with Job 20:29
("portion," "heritage"), it will be seen, it is Zophar's argument, rather than his own, that Job states. Granting it to be true, implies Job, you ought not to use it as an argument to criminate me. For
(Job 28:1-28)
the ways of divine wisdom in afflicting the godly are inscrutable: all that is sure to man is, the fear of the Lord is wisdom
(Job 28:28).
by the hand--rather, concerning the hand of God, namely, what God does in governing men.
with the Almighty--the counsel or principle which regulates God's dealings.

12. “你们自己看见”恶人常常遭灾（虽然常常相反，伯21:33）。但你们岂可“徒然”以此为由，从我的遭灾证明我是恶人？
Original en inglés
12. "Ye yourselves see" that the wicked often are afflicted (though often the reverse,
Job 21:33).
But do you "vainly" make this an argument to prove from my afflictions that I am wicked?

14. 他的家室增多,不过是增多在刀剑或饑荒中灭亡
(Jer 18:21; Job 5:20,
相反之义)。
Original en inglés
14. His family only increases to perish by sword or famine
(Jer 18:21; Job 5:20,
the converse).

15. 那些逃脱了战争与饑荒的人\n (Job 27:14)
将被致命的瘟疫——“死亡”——所葬\n (Job 18:13; Jer 15:2; Re 6:8)。
中世纪的瘟疫被称为“黑死病”。被它所葬暗示他们除了那死亡瘟疫本身(诗意的拟人化)以外,再无人为他们举行葬礼,即无一人。
his——更宜作“他们的寡妇”。由单数到复数的转换颇为常见。并非暗示多妻。
Original en inglés
15. Those that escape war and famine
(Job 27:14)
shall be buried by the deadly plague--"death"
(Job 18:13; Jer 15:2; Re 6:8).
The plague of the Middle Ages was called "the black death." Buried by it implies that they would have none else but the death plague itself (poetically personified) to perform their funeral rites, that is, would have no one.
his--rather, "their widows." Transitions from singular to plural are frequent. Polygamy is not implied.

16. dust . . . clay——众多的象征\n (Zec 9:3)。
在东方,多件衣裳是财富的主要成分。
Original en inglés
16. dust . . . clay--images of multitudes
(Zec 9:3).
Many changes of raiment are a chief constituent of wealth in the East.

Of the four clauses in the two verses, one answers to four, two to three (so
Mt 7:6).

18.
(Job 8:14; 4:19)。
从“衣裳”\n (Job 27:16)
转到其上与其中(当其为幼虫之时)的“蛀虫”之“房屋”,转折颇为自然。蛀虫的房屋每当“衣裳”被抖开时便破损,如此脆弱。
booth——葡萄园看守者为暂时遮蔽而搭的枝叶棚\n (Isa 1:8)。
Original en inglés
18.
(Job 8:14; 4:19).
The transition is natural from "raiment"
(Job 27:16)
to the "house" of the "moth" in it, and of it, when in its larva state. The moth worm's house is broken whenever the "raiment" is shaken out, so frail is it.
booth--a bough-formed hut which the guard of a vineyard raises for temporary shelter
(Isa 1:8).

19. gathered——得体面的安葬\n (Ge 25:8; 2Ki 22:20)。
但 UMBREIT 顺应\n Job 27:18
所述罪人兴旺之短暂,译作:“他富足地躺卧床上,无一物被抢,他睁开眼,便再无所有。”若保留英文译本,首句大概意为:他虽死时富足,却不得葬礼之尊;第二句:当他在未见之世睁开眼,只见自己的灭亡:七十士译本将“没有收殓”读作他不再前行,即不再回到他的床。MAURER 亦然。
Original en inglés
19. gathered--buried honorably
(Ge 25:8; 2Ki 22:20).
But UMBREIT, agreeably to
Job 27:18,
which describes the short continuance of the sinner's prosperity, "He layeth himself rich in his bed, and nothing is robbed from him, he openeth his eyes, and nothing more is there." If English Version be retained, the first clause probably means, rich though he be in dying, he shall not be honored with a funeral; the second, When he opens his eyes in the unseen world, it is only to see his destruction: the Septuagint reads for "not gathered," He does not proceed, that is, goes to his bed no more. So MAURER.

hiss--deride
(Jer 25:9).
Job alludes to Bildad's words
(Job 18:18).
伯27:1-23。
此时原该轮到琐法发言。但他和另外二人却都沉默不语，实际上是默认失败，于是约伯停顿之后继续发言。
1. 比喻（parable）——在东方用来指以诗体形式对智慧所作的格言式、比喻性的表达，即一种箴言（gnome）（诗49:4）。
继续（continued）——原文有“进而申述”之意，暗示言辞的提升。
