但愿人与上帝之间有仲裁者，如同人与人之间。

愿人得与神辩白，如同人与朋友辩白一样；

愿人可与上帝理论，如同人与朋友一样；

愿人可与神理论，如同人与朋友一样；

但愿人可以为人与神分辩，正如世人为朋友辩白一样。

願人得與神辯白，如同人與朋友辯白一樣；

願人可與上帝理論，如同人與朋友一樣；

願人可與神理論，如同人與朋友一樣；

但願人與上帝之間有仲裁者，如同人與人之間。

但願人可以為人與神分辯，正如世人為朋友辯白一樣。

但願人得以同上帝辯訴，就如同人跟朋友訴說一樣。

願上帝為人辨冤於其前、並在人之鄰里中、

願得在上帝前、明辨其冤、如與同儕言者然、

願世人得與天主辯論、如人與人辯論然、

on behalf of a man he pleads with God as one pleads for a friend.

He makes his appeal to God to help me as a person pleads for a friend.

that he would argue the case of a man with God, as a son of man does with his neighbor.

I need someone to mediate between God and me, as a person mediates between friends.

I wish that someone might argue for a man with God just as anyone would for a friend.

That one might plead for a man with God As a son of man with his neighbor!

Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, As a man pleads for his neighbor!

That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor!

I wish that someone might arbitrate between a man and God just as a man pleads for his friend.

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man[ pleadeth] for his neighbour!

and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend.

that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!

“跟造物主争辩的人有祸了！他不过是世上瓦器中的一件。陶泥怎能对陶匠说，‘你在做什么’？受造之物怎能说，‘造我的没手艺’？

若能拿开祂责打我的刑杖，使我不再受祂的惊吓，我就会放胆发言，不必对祂心存恐惧，但现在我却不能这样。

我想和全能者对话，我渴望跟上帝理论。

耶和华又对约伯说：“强辩者岂可与全能者争论？与上帝辩驳的人请作出答复。”约伯回答耶和华说：“我这样卑微，怎能答复你？我只有用手掩口。我说了一次，不能答复；说了两次，不敢再说。”

“但愿有人听我申诉！看啊，我在这里画押，愿全能者回答我！愿我的控诉者写好状词！

你这个人啊！你是谁啊？竟敢顶撞上帝！受造之物怎能对造物主说：“你为什么把我造成这样？”

但愿我知道何处能寻见上帝，知道怎样去祂的居所。我好在祂面前陈明案情，滔滔不绝地为自己申辩；我好知道祂的答复，看看祂对我说什么。祂会用大能与我争辩吗？不会的，祂会垂听我的申诉，允许正直的人与祂理论，审判者会让我永远脱罪。

这样，你传唤我，我必回应；或者让我陈述，你来回答。

一切存在的事物都已有了名字，人的本质也被识透了；人无法与比他更强的较量。
