19:1 约伯回答说：
Then Job answered and said: 19:2 你们叫我的心悲伤，说话苦恼我，要到何时﹖
How long will you vex my soul, grind me down with words? 19:3 你们侮辱我，已有十次之多，苛待我却不知羞愧。
These ten times you have reviled me, have assailed me without shame! 19:4 我若实在错了，错自由我承当。
Be it indeed that I am at fault and that my fault remains with me, 19:5 如果你们真要对我自夸，证明我的丑恶，
Even so, if you would vaunt yourselves against me and cast up to me any reproach, 19:6 你们应当知道：是天主虐待了我，是他用自己的罗网围困了我。
Know then that God has dealt unfairly with me, and compassed me round with his net. 19:7 我若高呼说：「残暴，」但得不到答复；我大声呼冤，却没有正义。
If I cry out "Injustice!" I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no redress. 19:8 他拦住我的去路，使我不得过去，使黑暗笼罩着我的路途。
He has barred my way and I cannot pass; he has veiled my path in darkness; 19:9 他夺去了我的光荣，摘下了我头上的冠冕；
He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the diadem from my brow. 19:10 他四面打击我，使我逝去；拔除我的希望，犹如拔树。
He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; my hope he has uprooted like a tree. 19:11 他对我怒火如焚，拿我当作他的仇敌。
His wrath he has kindled against me; he counts me among his enemies. 19:12 他的军队一齐开来，修好道路攻击我，围着我的帐幕扎营。
His troops advance as one man; they build up their road to attack me, and they encamp around my tent. 19:13 他使我的弟兄离弃我，使我的知己疏远我。
My brethren have withdrawn from me, and my friends are wholly estranged. 19:14 邻人和相识者都不见了，寄居我家的人都忘了我。
My kinsfolk and companions neglect me, and my guests have forgotten me. 19:15 我的婢女拿我当作外人，视我如同陌生人。
Even my handmaids treat me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight. 19:16 我呼唤仆人，他不回答；我必须亲口央求他。
I call my servant, but he gives no answer, though in my speech I plead with him. 19:17 我的气味使妻子憎厌我，我的儿女视我作臭物。
My breath is abhorred by my wife; I am loathsome to the men of my family. 19:18 连孩子们也轻慢我，我一起来，他们就凌辱我。
The young children, too, despise me; when I appear, they speak against me. 19:19 我的知交密友都憎恶我，我所爱的人也变脸反对我。
All my intimate friends hold me in horror; those whom I loved have turned against me! 19:20 我的骨头紧贴着皮，我很侥幸还保留牙床。
My bones cleave to my skin, and I have escaped with my flesh between my teeth. 19:21 我的朋友，你们可怜可怜我!因为天主的手打伤了我。
Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, for the hand of God has struck me! 19:22 你们为何如同天主一样逼迫我，吃了我的肉而还不知足呢﹖
Why do you hound me as though you were divine, and insatiably prey upon me? 19:23 惟愿我的话都记录下来，都刻在铜板上；
Oh, would that my words were written down! Would that they were inscribed in a record: 19:24 用铁凿刻在铅版上，永远凿在盘石上。
That with an iron chisel and with lead they were cut in the rock forever! 19:25 我确实知道为我伸冤者还活着，我的辩护人要在地上起立。
But as for me, I know that my Vindicator lives, and that he will at last stand forth upon the dust; 19:26 我的皮肤虽由我身上脱落，但我仍要看见天主；
Whom I myself shall see: my own eyes, not another’s, shall behold him, 19:27 要看见他站在我这一方，我亲眼要看见他，并非他人；我的五内在我内好不憔悴。
And from my flesh I shall see God; my inmost being is consumed with longing. 19:28 如果你们说：「我们怎能难为他﹖怎能在他身上寻到这事的根由﹖」
But you who say, "How shall we persecute him, seeing that the root of the matter is found in him?" 19:29 你们应当害怕刀剑，因为报复罪恶的是刀剑；如此你们终于知道有一个审判者。
Be afraid of the sword for yourselves, for these crimes deserve the sword; that you may know that there is a judgment.
