23:1

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει

Then Job answered and says:

約伯回答說：

23:2

καὶ δὴ οἶδα ὅτι ἐκ χειρός μου ἡ ἔλεγξίς ἐστιν καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ βαρεῖα γέγονεν ἐπ’ ἐμῷ στεναγμῷ

Indeed I know that my complaint comes from my own hand, and his hand has become heavy upon my groaning.

我實在知道，我的申訴是出於我自己的手；他的手也因我的呻吟而沉重地壓著我。

23:3

τίς δ’ ἄρα γνοίη ὅτι εὕροιμι αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλθοιμι εἰς τέλος

Who then might know where I could find him and come to the end?

誰能知道我在哪裡可以尋見他，好叫我來到終局呢？

23:4

εἴποιμι δὲ ἐμαυτοῦ κρίμα τὸ δὲ στόμα μου ἐμπλήσαιμι ἐλέγχων

Then I would state my own case and fill my mouth with arguments.

我就要陳明自己的案情，用申辯充滿我的口。

23:5

γνῴην δὲ ῥήματα ἅ μοι ἐρεῖ αἰσθοίμην δὲ τίνα μοι ἀπαγγελεῖ

I would learn the words he would speak to me, and perceive what he would declare to me.

我就知道他要對我說的話，也明白他要向我宣告甚麼。

23:6

καὶ εἰ ἐν πολλῇ ἰσχύι ἐπελεύσεταί μοι εἶτα ἐν ἀπειλῇ μοι οὐ χρήσεται

And if he should come upon me with great strength, yet he will not deal with me by threatening.

他縱然用大能臨到我，卻不會以威嚇對待我。

23:7

ἀλήθεια γὰρ καὶ ἔλεγχος παρ’ αὐτοῦ ἐξαγάγοι δὲ εἰς τέλος τὸ κρίμα μου

For truth and reproof are with him; may he bring my case out to its conclusion.

因為真理和申辯都在他那裡；願他把我的案件審到終結。

23:8

εἰς γὰρ πρῶτα πορεύσομαι καὶ οὐκέτι εἰμί τὰ δὲ ἐπ’ ἐσχάτοις τί οἶδα

For I go to the first things, and I am no more; and as for the last, what do I know?

我往前去，就不在了；至於末後的事，我知道甚麼呢？

23:9

ἀριστερὰ ποιήσαντος αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατέσχον περιβαλεῖ δεξιά καὶ οὐκ ὄψομαι

When he acts on the left, I do not lay hold of him; he turns to the right, and I do not see him.

他在左邊行事，我卻抓不住；他轉到右邊，我也看不見。
