1 Wǒde xīnlíng xiāo hào , wǒde rìzi miè jǐn . fùnmù wèi wǒ yùbeì hǎo le .
1
My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave awaits me.
2 Zhēn yǒu xì xiào wǒde zaì wǒ zhèlǐ , wǒ yǎn cháng jiàn tāmen rĕ dòng wǒ .
2
Surely mockers surround me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility.
3 Yuàn zhǔ ná píngjù gĕi wǒ , zìjǐ wèi wǒ zuò bǎo . zaì nǐ yǐwaì shuí kĕn yǔ wǒ jī zhǎng ne .
3
“Give me, O God, the pledge you demand. Who else will put up security for me?
4 Yīn nǐ shǐ tāmen xīn bù míng lǐ , suǒyǐ nǐ bì bù gāo jǔ tāmen .
4
You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore you will not let them triumph.
5 Kònggào tāde péngyou , yǐ péngyou wèi kĕ qiǎngduó de , lián tā érnǚ de yǎnjing yĕ yào shī míng .
5
If anyone denounces their friends for reward, the eyes of their children will fail.
6 Shén shǐ wǒ zuò le mín zhōng de xiào tán . tāmen yĕ tǔ tuòmo zaì wǒ liǎn shang .
6
“God has made me a byword to everyone, a man in whose face people spit.
7 Wǒde yǎnjing yīn yōuchóu hūnhuā . wǒde bǎi tǐ hǎoxiàng yǐngér .
7
My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow.
8 Zhèngzhí rén yīncǐ bì jīngqí . wúgū de rén , yào xīngqǐ gōngjī bù jìng qián zhī beì .
8
The upright are appalled at this; the innocent are aroused against the ungodly.
9 Ránér , yì rén yào chí shǒu suǒ xíng de dào . shǒu jié de rén yào lì shang jiā lì .
9
Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger.
10 Zhìyú nǐmen zhòngrén , kĕyǐ zaì lái biànlùn ba . nǐmen zhōngjiān , wǒ zhǎo bù zhe yī gè zhìhuì rén .
10
“But come on, all of you, try again! I will not find a wise man among you.
11 Wǒde rìzi yǐjing guō le . wǒde móu suàn , wǒ xīn suǒ xiǎngwàng de yǐjing duàn jué .
11
My days have passed, my plans are shattered. Yet the desires of my heart
12 Tāmen yǐ hēi yè wèi báizhòu , shuō , liàngguāng jìnhu hēiàn .
12
turn night into day; in the face of the darkness light is near.
13 Wǒ ruò pànwàng yīnjiān wèi wǒde fángwū , ruò xià tà zaì hēiàn zhōng ,
13
If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness,
14 Ruò duì xiǔ huaì shuō , nǐ shì wǒde fù . duì chóng shuō , nǐ shì wǒde mǔqin zǐ meì .
14
if I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
15 Zhèyàng , wǒde zhǐwang zaì nàli ne . wǒ suǒ zhǐwang de shuí néng kànjian ne .
15
where then is my hope— who can see any hope for me?
16 Dĕng dào ānxī zaì chéntǔ zhōng , zhè zhǐwang bì xià dào yīnjiān de mén shuān nàli le .
16
Will it go down to the gates of death? Will we descend together into the dust?”
