舊約 -- 約伯記(Job) -- 第36章
36:1 以利戶又接著說,Elihu also proceeded, and said,
36:2 你再容我片時,我就指示你,因我還有話為神說。
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
36:3 我要將所知道的從遠處引來,將公義歸給造我的主。
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
36:4 我的言語真不虛謊。有知識全備的與你同在。
For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
36:5 神有大能,并不藐視人。他的智慧甚廣。
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
36:6 他不保護惡人的性命,卻為困苦人伸冤。
He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
36:7 他時??搭櫫x人,使他們和君王同坐寶座,永遠要被高舉。
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
36:8 他們若被鎖鏈捆住,被苦難的繩索纏住,And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
36:9 他就把他們的作為,和過犯指示他們,叫他們知道有驕傲的行動。
Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
36:10 他也開通他們的耳朵,得受教訓,吩咐他們離開罪孽轉回。
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
36:11 他們若聽從事奉他,就必度日亨通,歷年福樂。
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
36:12 若不聽從,就要被刀殺滅,無知無識而死。
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
36:13 那心中不敬虔的人積蓄怒氣。神捆綁他們,他們竟不求救。
But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
36:14 必在青年時死亡,與污穢人一樣喪命。
They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
36:15 神藉著困苦救拔困苦人,趁他們受欺壓,開通他們的耳朵。
He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
36:16 神也必引你出離患難,進入寬闊不狹窄之地。擺在你席上的必滿有肥甘。
Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
36:17 但你滿口有惡人批評的言語。判斷和刑罰抓住你。
But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
36:18 不可容忿怒觸動你,使你不服責罰。也不可因贖價大就偏行。
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
36:19 你的呼求(或作資財),或是你一切的勢力,果有靈驗,叫你不受患難嗎。
Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
36:20 不要切慕黑夜,就是眾民在本處被除滅的時候。
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
36:21 你要謹慎,不可重看罪孽,因你選擇罪孽,過于選擇苦難。
Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
36:22 神行事有高大的能力。教訓人的有誰像他呢。
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
36:23 誰派定他的道路。誰能說,你所行的不義。
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
36:24 你不可忘記稱贊他所行的為大,就是人所歌頌的。
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
36:25 他所行的,萬人都看見,世人也從遠處觀看。
Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
36:26 神為大,我們不能全知,他的年數不能測度。
Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
36:27 他吸取水點,這水點從云霧中就變成雨。
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
36:28 云彩將雨落下,沛然降與世人。
Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
36:29 誰能明白云彩如何鋪張,和神行宮的雷聲呢。
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
36:30 他將亮光普照在自己的四圍。他又遮覆海底。
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
36:31 他用這些審判眾民,且賜豐富的糧食。
For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
36:32 他以電光遮手,命閃電擊中敵人(或作中了靶子)。
With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
36:33 所發的雷聲顯明他的作為,又向牲畜指明要起暴風。
The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
