繁體中文
2. 今日——或許暗示辯論延續了不止一日(見導論)。
苦澀——(伯7:11;10:1)。
我的刑罰——即神的手加在我身上(邊註,伯19:21;詩32:4)。
重於——重得使我連歎息都無法充分舒解。
영문 원문
2. to-day--implying, perhaps, that the debate was carried on through more days than one (see
Introduction).
bitter--
(Job 7:11; 10:1).
my stroke--the hand of God on me (Margin,
Job 19:21; Ps 32:4).
heavier than--is so heavy that I cannot relieve myself adequately by groaning.

3. 與伯13:3同樣的願望(參看來10:19-22)。
座位——希伯來文的意思是一個預備妥當的寶座(詩9:7)。
영문 원문
3. The same wish as in
Job 13:3
(compare
Heb 10:19-22).
Seat--The idea in the Hebrew is a well-prepared throne
(Ps 9:7).

4. 陳明——即有條理地陳述(伯13:18;賽43:26)。
充滿等等——我必有充足的論據可以提出。
영문 원문
4. order--state methodically
(Job 13:18; Isa 43:26).
fill, &c.--I would have abundance of arguments to adduce.

5. 他——著重的:只要我知道神怎樣論斷我,人怎樣說我並不要緊。
영문 원문
5. he--emphatic: it little matters what man may say of me, if only I know what God judges of me.

6. 當他說出這個願望(伯23:5)時,一個反對隨之而生。我這樣是不是希望祂以祂的全能來與我爭論呢?絕非如此!(伯9:19, 34;13:21;30:18)。
大能——以便能勝過祂:如雅各的情況(何12:3, 4)。翁布賴特(UMBREIT)和莫勒爾(MAURER)更佳地照伯4:20譯作(我只願祂)「留意我」,即如普通法官那樣耐心地聽我,不使用祂的全能,只用祂對我無辜的神聖認知。
영문 원문
6. An objection suggests itself, while he utters the wish
(Job 23:5).
Do I hereby wish that He should plead against me with His omnipotence? Far from it!
(Job 9:19, 34; 13:21; 30:18).
strength--so as to prevail with Him: as in Jacob's case
(Ho 12:3, 4).
UMBREIT and MAURER better translate as in
Job 4:20
(I only wish that He) "would attend to me," that is, give me a patient hearing as an ordinary judge, not using His omnipotence, but only His divine knowledge of my innocence.

7. 在那裏——更當譯作「那時」:如果神肯「留意」我(伯23:6)。
公義——即我爭辯的結果將是,祂承認我為義。
脫離——脫離我的審判官對我有罪的懷疑。
영문 원문
7. There--rather, "Then": if God would "attend" to me
(Job 23:6).
righteous--that is, the result of my dispute would be, He would acknowledge me as righteous.
delivered--from suspicion of guilt on the part of my Judge.

8. 但我卻徒然尋找。因為「看哪」云云。
往前……往後——更當譯作:「往東——往西。」
希伯來地理學家面向東方,即日出之處:並非像那樣面向北方。因此「前」指東方,「後」指西方(印度人亦然)。Para,「前」——東方;Apara,「後」——西方;Daschina,「右手」——南方;Bama,「左」——北方。類似的對日出的指涉也出現於亞細亞(Asia)一名之中,意為「日出」,以及歐羅巴(Europe),意為「日落」;這些都是純粹的巴比倫名字,如羅林森(RAWLINSON)所證明的。
영문 원문
8. But I wish in vain. For "behold," &c.
forward . . . backward--rather, "to the east--to the west." The Hebrew geographers faced the east, that is, sunrise: not the north, as we do. So "before" means east: "behind," west (so the Hindus). Para, "before"--east: Apara, "behind"--west: Daschina, "the right hand"--south: Bama, "left"--north. A similar reference to sunrise appears in the name Asia, "sunrise," Europe, "sunset"; pure Babylonian names, as RAWLINSON shows.

9. 更當譯作:「往北方。」
作為——神榮耀的作為,對身在北半球的人尤可見於北方的天空。
此處的對比在於神在作為卻不被看見:正如伯9:11中「他走過」與「我不能看見他」的對比。若希伯來文容許,按翁布賴特(UMBREIT)譯作「藏匿」,與第二句的平行更為貼合;但如此一來便失去了與「看哪」的對比。
右手——「在南方」。
隱藏——用於當時因炎熱而被視為不可居住、未經探索的南方,最為貼切(見伯34:29)。
영문 원문
9. Rather, "To the north."
work--God's glorious works are especially seen towards the north region of the sky by one in the northern hemisphere. The antithesis is between God working and yet not being beheld: as in
Job 9:11,
between "He goeth by," and "I see Him not." If the Hebrew bears it, the parallelism to the second clause is better suited by translating, as UMBREIT, "doth hide himself"; but then the antithesis to "behold" would be lost.
right hand--"in the south."
hideth--appropriately, of the unexplored south, then regarded as uninhabitable because of its heat (see
Job 34:29).

10. 只是——約伯更正自己先前願望案件能在神面前陳明的心願。全知的神已經知道我裡面的道路(我內在的原則;他外在的道路或作為的途徑記於伯23:11。同樣「在我裡面」,伯4:21);雖然因為某種不可測的原因,他此刻隱藏了自己(伯23:8-9)。
然而——只要他試煉我的案件,我就……云云。
영문 원문
10. But--correcting himself for the wish that his cause should be known before God. The omniscient One already knoweth the way in me (my inward principles: His outward way or course of acts is mentioned in
Job 23:11.
So in me,
Job 4:21);
though for some inscrutable cause He as yet hides Himself
(Job 23:8, 9).
when--let Him only but try my cause, I shall, &c.

11. 腳步——緊緊跟隨他的腳步。在舊約詩歌中,律法被視為一條道路,神在我們前面行,作我們的引導者,我們必須跟從他的腳跡而行(詩17:5)。
偏離——(詩125:5)。
영문 원문
11. held--fast by His steps. The law is in Old Testament poetry regarded as a way, God going before us as our guide, in whose footsteps we must tread
(Ps 17:5).
declined--
(Ps 125:5).

12. 重看——更當譯作「收藏」,即如獲至寶般藏起來(太13:44;詩119:11);暗指以利法的話(伯22:22)。不必你告訴我如此行;我早已如此行了(耶15:16)。
所需用的——「所派的份」(指食物;如箴30:8)。翁布賴特(UMBREIT)和毛雷爾(MAURER)譯作:「過於我的律法」,即我自己的旨意,與「他口中的言語」相對(約6:38)。大概在「我所派定的」這個廣泛的詞下(同一希伯來文字見伯23:14),包含了一切滿足身體食慾和肉體意志的事物。
영문 원문
12. esteemed--rather, "laid up," namely, as a treasure found
(Mt 13:44; Ps 119:11);
alluding to the words of Eliphaz
(Job 22:22).
There was no need to tell me so; I have done so already
(Jer 15:16).
necessary--"Appointed portion" (of food; as in
Pr 30:8).
UMBREIT and MAURER translate, "More than my law," my own will, in antithesis to "the words of His mouth"
(Joh 6:38).
Probably under the general term, "what is appointed to me" (the same Hebrew is in
Job 23:14),
all that ministers to the appetites of the body and carnal will is included.

13. 一樣的心志——儘管我無辜,他不改變其要定我有罪的旨意(伯9:12)。
心——他的旨意(詩115:3)。
這是神的主權。他有一個偉大的旨意;沒有甚麼是出於偶然;每一件事都按其旨意而有其適當的位置。
영문 원문
13. in one mind--notwithstanding my innocence, He is unaltered in His purpose of proving me guilty
(Job 9:12).
soul--His will
(Ps 115:3).
God's sovereignty. He has one great purpose; nothing is haphazard; everything has its proper place with a view to His purpose.

14. 許多這樣的事——祂為我還儲備了許多類似的災禍,只是隱藏在祂心裏
(伯10:13)。
영문 원문
14. many such--He has yet many more such ills in store for me, though hidden in His breast
(Job 10:13).

15. 神的旨意既無可抗拒,又使我們在黑暗中不知下一步將如何,這正足以使人心充滿聖潔的敬畏〔巴恩斯,BARNES〕。
영문 원문
15. God's decrees, impossible to be resisted, and leaving us in the dark as to what may come next, are calculated to fill the mind with holy awe [BARNES].

16. 軟弱——即發昏;使我的勇氣消化。此處約伯的話再次與耶穌基督相似
(詩22:14)。
영문 원문
16. soft--faint; hath melted my courage. Here again Job's language is that of Jesus Christ
(Ps 22:14).
17

17. 因為我未被死亡從將來的災禍中取去(字面作「脫離黑暗的面」,
賽57:1)。
這是暗指以利法的話
(伯22:11):
「黑暗」,即災禍。
滅絕——較宜作阿拉伯文的含義:被帶到沈默之地;我悲哀的哀訴在死中歸於寂靜〔翁佈雷特,UMBREIT〕。第二子句中的「黑暗」與第一子句的希伯來文詞不同,作「雲」、「朦朧」。祂不是「把(災禍的)雲遮蔽不使我見」,反而用這雲「遮蔽」我
(伯22:11)。
영문 원문
17. Because I was not taken away by death from the evil to come (literally, "from before the face of the darkness,"
Isa 57:1).
Alluding to the words of Eliphaz
(Job 22:11),
"darkness," that is, calamity.
cut off--rather, in the Arabic sense, brought to the land of silence; my sad complaint hushed in death [UMBREIT]. "Darkness" in the second clause, not the same Hebrew word as in the first, "cloud," "obscurity." Instead of "covering the cloud (of evil) from my face," He "covers" me with it
(Job 22:11).
