約伯記 11
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1拿瑪 人 瑣法 回答說：
1Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:
2這許多的言語豈不該回答嗎？ 多嘴多舌的人豈可稱為義嗎？
2Shall not he that speaketh much, hear also? or shall a man full of talk be justified?
3你誇大的話豈能使人不作聲嗎？ 你戲笑的時候豈沒有人叫你害羞嗎？
3Shall men hold their peace to thee only? and when thou hast mocked others, shall no man confute thee?
4你說：我的道理純全； 我在你眼前潔淨。
4For thou hast said: My word is pure, and I am clean in thy sight.
5惟願上帝說話； 願他開口攻擊你，
5And I wish that God would speak with thee, and would open his lips to thee,
6並將智慧的奧祕指示你； 他有諸般的智識。 所以當知道上帝追討你 比你罪孽該得的還少。
6That he might shew thee the secrets of wisdom, and that his law is manifold, and thou mightest understand that he exacteth much less of thee, than thy iniquity deserveth.
7你考察就能測透上帝嗎？ 你豈能盡情測透全能者嗎？
7Peradventure thou wilt comprehend the steps of God, and wilt find out the Almighty perfectly?
8他 的智慧 高於天，你還能做甚麼？ 深於陰間，你還能知道甚麼？
8He is higher than heaven, and what wilt thou do? he is deeper than hell, and how wilt thou know?
9其量比地長， 比海寬。
9The measure of him is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10他若經過，將人拘禁， 招人受審，誰能阻擋他呢？
10If he shall overturn all things, or shall press them together, who shall contradict him?
11他本知道虛妄的人； 人的罪孽，他雖不留意，還是無所不見。
11For he knoweth the vanity of men, and when he seeth iniquity, doth he not consider it?
12空虛的人卻毫無知識； 人生在世 好像 野驢的駒子。
12A vain man is lifted up into pride, and thinketh himself born free like a wild ass’s colt.
13你若將心安正， 又向主舉手；
13Rut thou hast hardened thy heart, and hast spread thy hands to him.
14你手裏若有罪孽， 就當遠遠地除掉， 也不容非義住在你帳棚之中。
14If thou wilt put away from thee the iniquity that is in thy hand, and lot not injustice remain in thy tabernacle:
15那時，你必仰起臉來毫無斑點； 你也必堅固，無所懼怕。
15Then mayst thou lift up thy face without spot, and thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear.
16你必忘記你的苦楚， 就是想起也如流過去的水一樣。
16Thou shalt also forget misery, and remember it only as waters that are passed away.
17你在世的日子要比正午更明， 雖有黑暗仍像早晨。
17And brightness like that of the noonday, shall arise to thee at evening: and when thou shalt think thyself consumed, thou shalt rise as the day star.
18你因有指望就必穩固， 也必 四圍 巡查，坦然安息。
18And thou shalt have confidence, hope being set before thee, and being buried thou shalt sleep secure.
19你躺臥，無人驚嚇， 且有許多人向你求恩。
19Thou shalt rest, and there shall be none to make thee afraid: and many shall entreat thy face.
20但惡人的眼目必要失明。 他們無路可逃； 他們的指望就是氣絕。
20But the eyes of the wicked shall decay, and the way to escape shall fail them, and their hope the abomination of the soul.
