约伯记 40
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1耶和华又对 约伯 说：
1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said:
2强辩的岂可与全能者争论吗？ 与 神辩驳的可以回答这些吧！
2Shall he that reproveth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
3于是， 约伯 回答耶和华说：
3Then Job answered the LORD, and said:
4我是卑贱的！我用什么回答你呢？ 只好用手捂口。
4Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer Thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.
5我说了一次，再不回答； 说了两次，就不再说。
5Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.
6于是，耶和华从旋风中回答 约伯 说：
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
7你要如勇士束腰； 我问你，你可以指示我。
7Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.
8你岂可废弃我所拟定的？ 岂可定我有罪，好显自己为义吗？
8Wilt thou even make void My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified?
9你有 神那样的膀臂吗？ 你能像他发雷声吗？
9Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like Him?
10你要以荣耀庄严为妆饰， 以尊荣威严为衣服；
10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11要发出你满溢的怒气， 见一切骄傲的人，使他降卑；
11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath; and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.
12见一切骄傲的人，将他制伏， 把恶人践踏在本处；
12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13将他们一同隐藏在尘土中， 把他们的脸蒙蔽在隐密处；
13Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in the hidden place.
14我就认你右手能以救自己。
14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15你且观看河马； 我造你也造它。 它吃草与牛一样；
15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16它的气力在腰间， 能力在肚腹的筋上。
16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the stays of his body.
17它摇动尾巴如香柏树； 它大腿的筋互相联络。
17He straineth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18它的骨头 好像 铜管； 它的肢体仿佛铁棍。
18His bones are as pipes of brass; his gristles are like bars of iron.
19它在 神所造的物中为首； 创造它的给它刀剑。
19He is the beginning of the ways of God; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him.
20诸山给它出食物， 也是百兽游玩之处。
20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there.
21它伏在莲叶之下， 卧在芦苇隐密处和水洼子里。
21He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22莲叶的阴凉遮蔽它； 溪旁的柳树环绕它。
22The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23河水泛滥，它不发战； 就是 约旦河 的水涨到它口边，也是安然。
23Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth.
24在它防备的时候，谁能捉拿它？ 谁能牢笼它穿它的鼻子呢？
24Shall any take him by his eyes, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
