舊約 -- 約伯記(Job) -- 第35章
35:1 以利戶又說,Elihu spake moreover, and said,
35:2 你以為有理,或以為你的公義勝于神的公義,Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
35:3 才說這與我有什么益處。我不犯罪比犯罪有什么好處呢。
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
35:4 我要回答你,和在你這里的朋友。
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
35:5 你要向天觀看,瞻望那高于你的穹蒼。
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
35:6 你若犯罪,能使神受何害呢。你的過犯加增,能使神受何損呢。
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
35:7 你若是公義,還能加增他什么呢。他從你手里還接受什么呢。
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
35:8 你的過惡,或能害你這類的人。你的公義,或能叫世人得益處。
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
35:9 人因多受欺壓就哀求,因受能者的轄制(轄制原文作膀臂)便求救。
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
35:10 卻無人說,造我的神在那里。他使人夜間歌唱。
But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
35:11 教訓我們勝于地上的走獸,使我們有聰明勝于空中的飛鳥。
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
35:12 他們在那里,因惡人的驕傲呼求,卻無人答應。
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
35:13 虛妄的呼求,神必不垂聽。全能者也必不眷顧。
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
35:14 何況你說,你不得見他。你的案件在他面前,你等候他吧。
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
35:15 但如今因他未曾發怒降罰,也不甚理會狂傲,But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
35:16 所以約伯開口說虛妄的話,多發無知識的言語。
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
