《約伯傳》中這段著名經文的解讀頗為複雜。

這位「復仇者/救贖者」究竟是誰？

當約伯──他這樣希望──看見天主時，他所處的境況該如何理解？

他會身處肉身「之中」嗎？

還是他會「從」肉身，也就是「沒有」肉身看見天主嗎？

七十士譯本的一個英文翻譯 (Claude E. Cox) 是這樣寫的：

「我深知，那將要在地上毀滅我的，是永恆的。願我這忍受這一切的皮肉復活，因為這些事都是天主在我身上成就的。」

然而，拉丁文譯本則傳達了不一樣的信息：

「因為我知道我的救贖主活著，在末日我必從地裡復活。我必再次披上我的皮肉，憑著我的肉身，我必得見我的天主。祂是我親眼所見，是我自己所見，不是別人。這是我所盼望的，存我心中。「

無論如何，我們都能感受到這段經文傳遞著希望。

它曾被解讀為關於死人復活的預言，我們至今仍可以根據這個傳統解釋來理解它。

The interpretation of this famous text from the Book of Job is difficult.

Who exactly is the Avenger/ Redeemer?

How to interpret the situation of Job when he – hopefully – will see God?

Will he be “in” his flesh?

Or will he be “from” his flesh, that is “without” his flesh?

There is one translation of the LXX (Claude E. Cox) that reads:

“To be sure, I know that he who is about to undo me on earth is everlasting. May my skin, which patiently endures these things, rise up; for these things have been accomplished on me by the Lord”.

However, the Latin translation conveys a different message: “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth. And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh, I shall see my God. Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom”.

In any case, we can feel that this text conveys hope. It has been read as a sort of prophecy about the resurrection of the dead, and we can still receive it according to this traditional interpretation.
