4你講，我ê道理純全，我tī你ê目睭前清氣。Lí kóng, Góa ê tō-lí sûn-choân, Góa tī lí ê ba̍k-chiu-chêng chheng-khì.

5總是願上帝講話，koh開伊ê嘴辯駁你；Chóng-sī goān Siōng-tè kóng-ōe, Koh khui I ê chhùi piān-pok lí;

6指示你智慧ê奧妙，這智慧有ta̍k般ê功效；你tio̍h知上帝無lóng總記得你ê罪過。Chí-sī lí tì-hūi ê ò-biāu, Che tì-hūi ū ta̍k-poaⁿ ê kong-hāu; Lí tio̍h chai Siōng-tè bô lóng-chóng kì-tit lí ê chōe-kòa.

8伊高親像天，你iáu會做甚麼？比陰間khah深，你iáu會知甚麼？I koâiⁿ chhin-chhiūⁿ thiⁿ, lí iáu ōe chòe sím-mi̍h? Pí im-kan khah-chhim, lí iáu ōe chai sím-mi̍h?

9伊ê量(liōng)是比地khah長，比海khah闊。I ê liōng sī pí tōe khah-tn̂g, Pí hái khah-khoah.

10伊若經過，來關禁人，召人審判，是誰能阻擋伊ah？I nā keng-kè, lâi koaiⁿ-kìm lâng, Tiàu lâng sím-phòaⁿ, chī-chūi ōe chó͘-tòng I ah?

11因為伊知虛假ê人；雖然無注意，也lóng看見罪過。In-ūi I chai hu-kè ê lâng; Sui-jiân bô chù-ì, iā lóng khòaⁿ-kìⁿ chōe-kòa.

12空虛ê人lóng無心思，人出世親像野驢ê驢kiáⁿ。Khang-hu ê lâng lóng bô sim-su, Lâng chhut-sì chhin-chhiūⁿ iá-lû ê lû-kiáⁿ.

13你若端正你ê心，koh ǹg伊kia̍h起手；Lí nā toan-chiàⁿ lí ê sim, Koh ǹg I kia̍h-khí chhiú;

14你ê手內若有罪過，就tio̍h除去遠遠，也m̄-thang容允不義tiàm tī你ê布棚內。Lí ê chhiú-lāi nā ū chōe-kòa, chiū tio̍h tû-khì hn̄g-hn̄g, Iā m̄-thang iông-ún put-gī tiàm tī lí ê pò͘-pîⁿ lāi.

15Hit時你的確kia̍h起你無瑕疵ê面；你也beh khiā在，lóng無驚惶。Hit-sî lí tek-khak kia̍h-khí lí bô hâ-chhû ê bīn; Lí iā beh khiā-chāi, lóng bô kiaⁿ-hiâⁿ.

16因為你beh bōe記得你ê艱苦；就若記得，也親像水流過去一樣。In-ūi lí beh bōe-kì-tit lí ê kan-khó͘; Chiū nā kì-tit, iā chhin-chhiūⁿ chúi lâu-kè--khì chi̍t-iūⁿ.

17你ê生活khah贏日中晝，雖然暗，猶原親像早起時。Lí ê seng-hoa̍t khah-iâⁿ ji̍t-tiong-tàu, Sui-jiân àm, iû-goân chhin-chhiūⁿ chá-khí-sî.

18你beh安穩，因為有所ǹg望；你beh四界巡看，就thang安心睏。Lí beh an-ún, in-ūi ū só͘ ǹg-bāng; Lí beh sì-kòe sûn-khòaⁿ, chiū thang an-sim khùn.

19你beh倒teh，也無有phah驚你ê，koh有chōe-chōe人對你求恩。Lí beh tó-teh, iā bô ū phah-kiaⁿ lí ê, Koh ū chōe-chōe lâng tùi lí kiû-un.

20總是pháiⁿ人ê目睭beh花；in無路thang逃走，in所ǹg望親像氣斷。Chóng-sī pháiⁿ-lâng ê ba̍k-chiu beh hoe; In bô lō͘ thang tô-cháu, in só͘ ǹg-bāng chhin-chhiūⁿ khùi-tn̄g.

2Lín真正是百姓ah，lín死，智慧也kap lín死。Lín chin-chiàⁿ sī peh-sìⁿ ah, Lín sí, tì-hūi iā kap lín sí.

3我也有心思，親像lín一樣；我無khah輸lín；chiah-ê tāi-chì甚麼人m̄知？Góa iā ū sim-su, chhin-chhiūⁿ lín chi̍t-iūⁿ; Góa bô khah-su lín; Chiah ê tāi-chì sím-mi̍h lâng m̄-chai?

4我是求叫上帝，得tio̍h伊聽ê人，iáu-kú hō͘同伴譏刺；公義完全ê人，也hō͘人譏刺。Góa sī kiû-kiò Siōng-tè, tit-tio̍h I thiaⁿ ê lâng, Iáu-kú hō͘ tâng-phōaⁿ ki-chhì; Kong-gī oân-choân ê lâng, iā hō͘ lâng ki-chhì.

5安然ê人心內看輕患難；這患難便便teh thèng候腳tio̍h-tak ê人。An-jiân ê lâng sim-lāi khòaⁿ-khin hoān-lān; Che hoān-lān piān-piān teh thèng-hāu kha tio̍h-tak ê lâng.

6強盜ê布棚興通，惹tio̍h上帝ê人得tio̍h安然。就是上帝大賞賜tī in ê手ê。Kiông-tō ê pò͘-pîⁿ heng-thong, Jiá-tio̍h Siōng-tè ê lâng tit-tio̍h an-jiân. Chiū-sī Siōng-tè tōa siúⁿ-sù tī in ê chhiú--ê.

7Taⁿ你去問走獸，in beh教示你；也去問空中ê鳥，in beh kā你講；Taⁿ lí khì mn̄g cháu-siù, in beh kà-sī lí; Iā khì mn̄g khong-tiong ê chiáu, in beh kā lí kóng;

8Á是kap地講，伊beh教示你；海中ê魚也beh kā你講明。Á-sī kap tōe kóng, i beh kà-sī lí; Hái-tiong ê hî iā beh kā lí kóng-bêng.

9Tī chiah-ê一切，是誰 m̄知，是耶和華ê手做án-ni？Tī chiah-ê it-chhè, chī-chūi m̄ chai, Sī Iâ-hô-hoa ê chhiú chòe án-ni?

10一切動物ê性命，kap人類ê喘氣，lóng tī伊ê手。It-chhè tōng-bu̍t ê sìⁿ-miā, kap jîn-lūi ê chhoán-khùi, Lóng tī I ê chhiú.

11耳孔kiám bōe試驗言語，親像上腔試滋味mah？Hī-khang kiám bōe chhì-giām giân-gú, Chhin-chhiūⁿ chiūⁿ-khiuⁿ[kiuⁿ] chhì chu-bī mah?

12年老ê有智慧，歲壽chōe-ê有見識。Nî-lāu--ê ū tì-hūi, Hè-siū chōe-ê ū kiàn-sek.

13智慧kap能力在tī上帝；伊有計畫kap見識。Tì-hūi kap lêng-le̍k chāi-tī Siōng-tè; I ū kè-e̍k kap kiàn-sek.

14看ah，伊拆毀ê，bōe會koh起造；伊關禁ê人，無thang koh tháu放。Khòaⁿ ah, I thiah-húi-ê, bōe-ōe koh khí-chō; I koaiⁿ-kìm ê lâng, bô thang koh tháu-pàng.

15看ah，伊禁止hiah-ê水，水就乾去；伊koh hō͘水流出，地就變遷。Khòaⁿ ah, I kìm-chí hiah ê chúi, chúi chiū ta--khì; I koh hō͘ chúi lâu-chhut, tōe chiū piàn-chhian.

16權能kap效力在tī伊；受迷惑，kap迷惑人ê，lóng屬tī伊。Koân-lêng kap hāu-le̍k chāi-tī I; Siū bê-he̍k, kap bê-he̍k lâng--ê, lóng sio̍k tī I.

17伊hō͘謀士tú-tio̍h搶掠；koh hō͘審判司變成戇人。I hō͘ bô͘-sū tú-tio̍h chhiúⁿ-lia̍h; Koh hō͘ sím-phòaⁿ-si pìⁿ-chiâⁿ gōng-lâng.

18伊tháu放君王ê綑縛，koh用帶縛in ê腰。I tháu-pàng kun-ông ê khún-pa̍k, Koh ēng tòa pa̍k in ê io.

19伊hō͘祭司tú-tio̍h搶掠，koh chhia倒有權能ê人。I hō͘ chè-si tú-tio̍h chhiúⁿ-lia̍h, Koh chhia-tó ū koân-lêng ê lâng.

20伊改chhoa̍h忠信ê人ê話，koh除去老人ê見識。I kóe-chhoa̍h tiong-sìn ê lâng ê ōe, Koh tû-khì lāu-lâng ê kiàn-sek.

21伊hō͘貴族受凌辱；koh tháu開有力ê人ê腰帶。I hō͘ kùi-cho̍k siū lêng-jio̍k; Koh tháu-khui ū la̍t ê lâng ê io-tòa.

22伊tùi烏暗中顯出深奧ê事；koh帶出死蔭到光明ê所在。I tùi o͘-àm-tiong hián-chhut chhim-ò ê sū; Koh tòa-chhut sí-ìm kàu kng-bêng ê só͘-chāi.

23伊hō͘邦國興旺，也koh毀滅伊；伊hō͘邦國開闊，也koh遷徙in。I hō͘ pang-kok heng-ōng, iā koh húi-bia̍t i; I hō͘ pang-kok khui-khoah, iā koh chhian-sóa in.

24地上百姓ê頭人，伊除去in ê心思；hō͘ in漂流tī無路ê曠野。Tōe-chiūⁿ peh-sìⁿ ê thâu-lâng, I tû-khì in ê sim-su; Hō͘ in phiau-liû tī bô lō͘ ê khòng-iá.

25In無光，tī烏暗中四界摸；koh hō͘ in顛來顛去，親像酒醉ê人一樣。In bô kng, tī o͘-àm-tiong sì-kòe bong; Koh hō͘ in tian-lâi tian-khì, chhin-chhiūⁿ chiú-chùi ê lâng chi̍t-iūⁿ.

1看ah，這一切我ê目睭lóng看過，我ê耳孔lóng聽過，也明白。Khòaⁿ ah, che it-chhè góa ê ba̍k-chiu lóng khòaⁿ-kè, Góa ê hī-khang lóng thiaⁿ-kè, iā bêng-pe̍k.

2Lín所知ê，我也知；我無khah輸lín。Lín só͘ chai-ê, góa iā chai; Góa bô khah-su lín.

3我實在ài kap全能ê講話；我真ài kap上帝理論。Góa si̍t-chāi ài kap Choân-lêng-ê kóng-ōe; Góa chin ài kap Siōng-tè lí-lūn.

4總是lín是捏造白賊話ê，lóng是無路用ê醫生。Chóng-sī lín sī liap-chō pe̍h-chha̍t-ōe ê, Lóng sī bô lō͘-ēng ê i-seng.

5願lín一概靜靜，chiah算是lín ê智慧。Goān lín it-khài chēng-chēng, chiah sǹg sī lín ê tì-hūi.

6請lín聽我ê理論，致意聽我ê嘴ê分訴。Chhiáⁿ lín thiaⁿ góa ê lí-lūn, Tì-ì thiaⁿ góa ê chhùi ê hun-sò͘.

7Lín beh為上帝來講不義ê話mah？為伊講詭詐ê話mah？Lín beh ūi Siōng-tè lâi kóng put-gī ê ōe mah? Ūi I kóng khúi-chà ê ōe mah?

8Lín kiám beh偏袒伊mah？beh為上帝辯護mah？Lín kiám beh phian-thán I mah? Beh ūi Siōng-tè piān-hō͘ mah?

9伊若查出lín，kiám有好mah？Lín能騙伊親像騙人mah？I nā chhâ-chhut lín, kiám ū hó mah? Lín ōe phiàn I chhin-chhiūⁿ phiàn lâng mah?

10Lín若暗靜偏袒，伊的確beh責備lín。Lín nā àm-chīⁿ phian-thán, I tek-khak beh chek-pī lín.

11伊ê威嚴kiám無hō͘你驚mah？伊ê thang驚畏，kiám無臨到lín mah？I ê ui-giâm kiám bô hō͘ lí kiaⁿ mah? I ê thang kiaⁿ-ùi, kiám bô lîm-kàu lín mah?

12Lín所記念ê箴言是親像火灰；lín ê營寨是土糜ê營寨。Lín só͘ kì-liām ê chim-giân sī chhin-chhiūⁿ hé-hu; Lín ê iâⁿ-chē sī thô͘-bê ê iâⁿ-chē.

13Lín靜靜，莫得chhap我，kù-chāi我講，就無論甚麼做伊來。Lín chēng-chēng, bo̍h-tit chhap góa, kù-chāi góa kóng, Chiū bô-lūn sím-mi̍h chòe i lâi.

14我啥事將我ê肉咬tī我ê嘴齒，將我ê性命hē tī我ê手ah？Góa siáⁿ-sū chiong góa ê bah kā tī góa ê chhùi-khí, Chiong góa ê sìⁿ-miā hē tī góa ê chhiú ah?

15看ah，伊beh thâi死我，我無thang ǹg望；總是我beh tī伊ê面前表白我ê所行。Khòaⁿ ah, I beh thâi-sí góa, góa bô thang ǹg-bāng; Chóng-sī góa beh tī I ê bīn-chêng piáu-pe̍k góa ê só͘ kiâⁿ.

16這beh成做拯救我ê；因為無虔誠ê人bōe得到伊ê面前。Che beh chiâⁿ-chòe chín-kiù góa ê; In-ūi bô khiân-sêng ê lâng bōe tit kàu I ê bīn-chêng.

17Lín tio̍h細膩聽我ê話，hō͘我所辯論ê入lín ê耳孔。Lín tio̍h sòe-jī thiaⁿ góa ê ōe, Hō͘ góa só͘ piān-lūn-ê ji̍p lín ê hī-khang.

18看ah，我有排列我ê案件，我知我beh得tio̍h稱做義。Khòaⁿ ah, góa ū pâi-lia̍t góa ê àn-kiāⁿ, Góa chai góa beh tit-tio̍h chheng-chòe-gī.

19Chī-chūi能kap我辯論ah？有，我就靜靜來斷氣。Chī-chūi ōe kap góa piān-lūn ah? Ū, góa chiū chēng-chēng lâi tn̄g-khùi.

20獨獨有兩項，莫得行tī我，我就無閃避離開你ê面。To̍k-to̍k ū nn̄g-hāng, bo̍h-tit kiâⁿ tī góa, Góa chiū bô siám-pī lī-khui lí ê bīn.

21就是你ê手kiu 倒tńg，離開我遠遠；koh無用你ê威嚴hō͘我驚；Chiū-sī Lí ê chhiú kiu tò-tńg, lī-khui góa hn̄g-hn̄g; Koh bô ēng Lí ê ui-giâm hō͘ góa kiaⁿ;

22Án-ni，你叫，我就應；á是hō͘我講，你應我。Án-ni, Lí kiò, góa chiū ìn; Á-sī hō͘ góa kóng, Lí ìn góa.

23我ê罪過kap過失有jōa-chōe ah？求你hō͘我知我ê過失，我ê罪過。Góa ê chōe-kòa kap kè-sit ū jōa-chōe ah? Kiû Lí hō͘ góa chai góa ê kè-sit, góa ê chōe-kòa.

24你啥事掩(ng)你ê面，掠我做你ê對敵ah？Lí siáⁿ-sū ng Lí ê bīn, Lia̍h góa chòe Lí ê tùi-te̍k ah?

25你kiám beh搖動hō͘風吹ê樹葉mah？追jip枯焦ê草mah？Lí kiám beh iô-tāng hō͘ hong chhe ê chhiū-hio̍h mah? Tui-jip ko͘-tâ ê chháu mah?

26因為你記載艱苦ê事來辦我；koh hō͘我擔當少年ê時ê罪過。In-ūi Lí kì-chài kan-khó͘ ê sū lâi pān góa; Koh hō͘ góa tam-tng siàu-liân ê sî ê chōe-kòa.

27你用腳銬銬我ê腳，致意看我一切ê路；你kā我ê腳底劃定界限。Lí ēng kha-khàu khàu góa ê kha, tì-ì khòaⁿ góa it-chhè ê lō͘; Lí kā góa ê kha-tóe u̍ih-tiāⁿ kài-hān.

28我beh受敗壞，親像臭爛ê物，親像tio̍h蛀蟲ê衫。Góa beh siū pāi-hoāi, chhin-chhiūⁿ chhàu-nōa ê mi̍h, Chhin-chhiūⁿ tio̍h chiù-thâng ê saⁿ.
