約伯記 38
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1那時，耶和華從旋風中回答 約伯 說：
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
2誰用無知的言語使 我的 旨意暗昧不明？
2“Who is this who obscures My counsel by words without knowledge?
3你要如勇士束腰； 我問你，你可以指示我。
3Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
4我立大地根基的時候，你在哪裏呢？ 你若有聰明，只管說吧！
4Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5你若曉得 就說 ，是誰定地的尺度？ 是誰把準繩拉在其上？
5Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched a measuring line across it?
6地的根基安置在何處？ 地的角石是誰安放的？
6On what were its foundations set, or who laid its cornerstone,
7那時，晨星一同歌唱； 上帝的眾子也都歡呼。
7while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8海水衝出，如出胎胞， 那時誰將它關閉呢？
8Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
9是我用雲彩當海的衣服， 用幽暗當包裹它的布，
9when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,
10為它定界限， 又安門和閂，
10when I fixed its boundaries and set in place its bars and doors,
11說：你只可到這裏，不可越過； 你狂傲的浪要到此止住。
11and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?
12你自生以來，曾命定晨光， 使清晨的日光知道本位，
12In your days, have you commanded the morning or assigned the dawn its place,
13叫這光普照地的四極， 將惡人從其中驅逐出來嗎？
13that it might spread to the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?
14因 這光 ，地面改變如泥上印印， 萬物 出現如衣服一樣。
14The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.
15亮光不照惡人； 強橫的膀臂也必折斷。
15Light is withheld from the wicked, and their upraised arm is broken.
16你曾進到海源， 或在深淵的隱密處行走嗎？
16Have you journeyed to the vents of the sea or walked in the trenches of the deep?
17死亡的門曾向你顯露嗎？ 死蔭的門你曾見過嗎？
17Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
18地的廣大你能明透嗎？ 你若全知道，只管說吧！
18Have you surveyed the extent of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.
19光明的居所從何而至？ 黑暗的本位在於何處？
19Where is the way to the home of light? Do you know where darkness resides,
20你能帶到本境， 能看明其室之路嗎？
20so you can lead it back to its border? Do you know the paths to its home?
21你總知道， 因為你早已生在世上， 你日子的數目也多。
21Surely you know, for you were already born! And the number of your days is great!
22你曾進入雪庫， 或見過雹倉嗎？
22Have you entered the storehouses of snow or observed the storehouses of hail,
23這雪雹乃是我為降災， 並打仗和爭戰的日子所預備的。
23which I hold in reserve for times of trouble, for the day of war and battle?
24光亮從何路分開？ 東風從何路分散遍地？
24In which direction is the lightning dispersed, or the east wind scattered over the earth?
25誰為雨水分道？ 誰為雷電開路？
25Who cuts a channel for the flood or clears a path for the thunderbolt,
26使雨降在無人之地、 無人居住的曠野？
26to bring rain on a barren land, on a desert where no man lives,
27使荒廢淒涼 之地 得以豐足， 青草得以發生？
27to satisfy the parched wasteland and make it sprout with tender grass?
28雨有父嗎？ 露水珠是誰生的呢？
28Does the rain have a father? Who has begotten the drops of dew?
29冰出於誰的胎？ 天上的霜是誰生的呢？
29From whose womb does the ice emerge? Who gives birth to the frost from heaven,
30諸水堅硬如石頭； 深淵之面凝結成冰。
30when the waters become hard as stone and the surface of the deep is frozen?
31你能繫住昴星的結嗎？ 能解開參星的帶嗎？
31Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?
32你能按時領出十二宮嗎？ 能引導北斗和隨它的眾星嗎？
32Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear and her cubs?
33你知道天的定例嗎？ 能使地歸在天的權下嗎？
33Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?
34你能向雲彩揚起聲來， 使傾盆的雨遮蓋你嗎？
34Can you command the clouds so that a flood of water covers you?
35你能發出閃電，叫它行去， 使它對你說：我們在這裏？
35Can you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
36誰將智慧放在懷中？ 誰將聰明賜於心內？
36Who has put wisdom in the heart or given understanding to the mind?
37誰能用智慧數算雲彩呢？ 塵土聚集成團，土塊緊緊結連； 那時，誰能傾倒天上的瓶呢？
37Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Or who can tilt the water jars of the heavens
