旧约 -- 约伯记(Job) -- 第36章
36:1 以利户又接着说,Elihu also proceeded, and said,
36:2 你再容我片时,我就指示你,因我还有话为神说。
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
36:3 我要将所知道的从远处引来,将公义归给造我的主。
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
36:4 我的言语真不虚谎。有知识全备的与你同在。
For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
36:5 神有大能,并不藐视人。他的智慧甚广。
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
36:6 他不保护恶人的性命,却为困苦人伸冤。
He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
36:7 他时常看顾义人,使他们和君王同坐宝座,永远要被高举。
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 他们若被锁链捆住,被苦难的绳索缠住,And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
36:9 他就把他们的作为,和过犯指示他们,叫他们知道有骄傲的行动。
Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
36:10 他也开通他们的耳朵,得受教训,吩咐他们离开罪孽转回。
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
36:11 他们若听从事奉他,就必度日亨通,历年福乐。
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
36:12 若不听从,就要被刀杀灭,无知无识而死。
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
36:13 那心中不敬虔的人积蓄怒气。神捆绑他们,他们竟不求救。
But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
36:14 必在青年时死亡,与污秽人一样丧命。
They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
36:15 神藉着困苦救拔困苦人,趁他们受欺压,开通他们的耳朵。
He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
36:16 神也必引你出离患难,进入宽阔不狭窄之地。摆在你席上的必满有肥甘。
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 但你满口有恶人批评的言语。判断和刑罚抓住你。
But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
36:18 不可容忿怒触动你,使你不服责罚。也不可因赎价大就偏行。
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(或作资财),或是你一切的势力,果有灵验,叫你不受患难吗。
Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
36:20 不要切慕黑夜,就是众民在本处被除灭的时候。
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
36:21 你要谨慎,不可重看罪孽,因你选择罪孽,过于选择苦难。
Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
36:22 神行事有高大的能力。教训人的有谁像他呢。
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
36:23 谁派定他的道路。谁能说,你所行的不义。
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
36:24 你不可忘记称赞他所行的为大,就是人所歌颂的。
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
36:25 他所行的,万人都看见,世人也从远处观看。
Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
36:26 神为大,我们不能全知,他的年数不能测度。
Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
36:27 他吸取水点,这水点从云雾中就变成雨。
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
36:28 云彩将雨落下,沛然降与世人。
Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
36:29 谁能明白云彩如何铺张,和神行宫的雷声呢。
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
36:30 他将亮光普照在自己的四围。他又遮覆海底。
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
36:31 他用这些审判众民,且赐丰富的粮食。
For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
36:32 他以电光遮手,命闪电击中敌人(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 所发的雷声显明他的作为,又向牲畜指明要起暴风。
The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
