Chapter 29

29:1 [hgb]  约 伯 又 接 着 说 ，
    [kjv]  Moreover Job continued his parable¹, and said,
    [bbe]  And Job again took up the word and said,
29:2 [hgb]  惟 愿 我 的 景 况 如 从 前 的 月 份 ， 如 神 保 守 我 的 日 子 。
    [kjv]  Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
    [bbe]  If only I might again be as I was in the months which are past, in the days when God was watching over me!
29:3 [hgb]  那 时 他 的 灯 照 在 我 头 上 。 我 借 他 的 光 行 过 黑 暗 。
    [kjv]  When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
    [bbe]  When his light was shining over my head, and when I went through the dark by his light.
29:4 [hgb]  我 愿 如 壮 年 的 时 候 ， 那 时 我 在 帐 棚 中 。 神 待 我 有 密 友 之 情 。
    [kjv]  As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
    [bbe]  As I was in my flowering years, when my tent was covered by the hand of God;
29:5 [hgb]  全 能 者 仍 与 我 同 在 。 我 的 儿 女 都 环 绕 我 。
    [kjv]  When the Almighty² was yet with me, when my children were about me;
    [bbe]  While the Ruler of all was still with me, and my children were round me;
29:6 [hgb]  奶 多 可 洗 我 的 脚 。 磐 石 为 我 出 油 成 河 。
    [kjv]  When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
    [bbe]  When my steps were washed with milk, and rivers of oil were flowing out of the rock for me.
29:7 [hgb]  我 出 到 城 门 ， 在 街 上 设 立 座 位 。
    [kjv]  When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
    [bbe]  When I went out of my door to go up to the town, and took my seat in the public place,
29:8 [hgb]  少 年 人 见 我 而 回 避 ， 老 年 人 也 起 身 站 立 。
    [kjv]  The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged³ arose, and stood up.
    [bbe]  The young men saw me, and went away, and the old men got up from their seats;
29:9 [hgb]  王 子 都 停 止 说 话 ， 用 手 捂 口 。
    [kjv]  The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
    [bbe]  The rulers kept quiet, and put their hands on their mouths;
29:10 [hgb]  首 领 静 默 无 声 ， 舌 头 贴 住 上 膛 。
    [kjv]  The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved⁴ to the roof of their mouth.
    [bbe]  The chiefs kept back their words, and their tongues were joined to the roofs of their mouths.
29:11 [hgb]  耳 朵 听 我 的 ， 就 称 我 有 福 。 眼 睛 看 我 的 ， 便 称 赞 我 。
    [kjv]  When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
    [bbe]  For when it came to their ears, men said that I was truly happy; and when their eyes saw, they gave witness to me;
29:12 [hgb]  因 我 拯 救 哀 求 的 困 苦 人 ， 和 无 人 帮 助 的 孤 儿 。
    [kjv]  Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
    [bbe]  For I was a saviour⁵ to the poor when he was crying for help, to the child with no father, and to him who had no supporter.
29:13 [hgb]  将 要 灭 亡 的 为 我 祝 福 。 我 也 使 寡 妇 心 中 欢 乐 。
    [kjv]  The blessing⁶ of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
    [bbe]  The blessing of him who was near to destruction came on me, and I put a song of joy into the widow's heart.
29:14 [hgb]  我 以 公 义 为 衣 服 ， 以 公 平 为 外 袍 和 冠 冕 。
    [kjv]  I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment⁷ was as a robe and a diadem⁸.
    [bbe]  I put on righteousness as my clothing, and was full of it; right decisions were to me a robe and a head-dress.
29:15 [hgb]  我 为 瞎 子 的 眼 ， 瘸 子 的 脚 。
    [kjv]  I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame⁹.
    [bbe]  I was eyes to the blind, and feet to him who had no power of walking.
29:16 [hgb]  我 为 穷 乏 人 的 父 ， 素 不 认 识 的 人 ， 我 查 明 他 的 案 件 。
    [kjv]  I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
    [bbe]  I was a father to the poor, searching out the cause of him who was strange to me.
29:17 [hgb]  我 打 破 不 义 之 人 的 牙 床 ， 从 他 牙 齿 中 夺 了 所 抢 的 。
    [kjv]  And I brake the jaws¹⁰ of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
    [bbe]  By me the great teeth of the evil-doer were broken, and I made him give up what he had violently taken away.
29:18 [hgb]  我 便 说 ， 我 必 死 在 家 中 （ 原 文 作 窝 中 ） ， 必 增 添 我 的 日 子 ， 多 如 尘 沙 。
    [kjv]  Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
    [bbe]  Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;
29:19 [hgb]  我 的 根 长 到 水 边 ， 露 水 终 夜 沾 在 我 的 枝 上 。
    [kjv]  My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
    [bbe]  My root will be open to the waters, and the night mist will be on my branches,
29:20 [hgb]  我 的 荣 耀 在 身 上 增 新 ， 我 的 弓 在 手 中 日 强 。
    [kjv]  My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
    [bbe]  My glory will be ever new, and my bow will be readily bent¹¹ in my hand.
29:21 [hgb]  人 听 见 我 而 仰 望 ， 静 默 等 候 我 的 指 教 。
    [kjv]  Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
    [bbe]  Men gave ear to me, waiting and keeping quiet for my suggestions.
29:22 [hgb]  我 说 话 之 后 ， 他 们 就 不 再 说 。 我 的 言 语 像 雨 露 滴 在 他 们 身 上 。
    [kjv]  After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
    [bbe]  After I had said what was in my mind, they were quiet and let my words go deep into their hearts;
29:23 [hgb]  他 们 仰 望 我 如 仰 望 雨 ， 又 张 开 口 如 切 慕 春 雨 。
    [kjv]  And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

29:24 [hgb]  他 们 不 敢 自 信 ， 我 就 向 他 们 含 笑 。 他 们 不 使 我 脸 上 的 光 改 变 。
    [kjv]  If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance¹² they cast not down.
    [bbe]  I was laughing at them when they had no hope, and the light of my face was never clouded by their fear.
29:25 [hgb]  我 为 他 们 选 择 道 路 ， 又 坐 首 位 。 我 如 君 王 在 军 队 中 居 住 ， 又 如 吊 丧 的 安 慰 伤 心 的 人 。
    [kjv]  I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
