約伯記 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1提幔 人 以利法 回答說：
1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
2人若想與你說話，你就厭煩嗎？ 但誰能忍住不說呢？
2If one venture a word unto thee, wilt thou be weary? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
3你素來教導許多的人， 又堅固軟弱的手。
3Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4你的言語曾扶助那將要跌倒的人； 你又使軟弱的膝穩固。
4Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
5但現在禍患臨到你，你就昏迷， 挨近你，你便驚惶。
5But now it is come upon thee, and thou art weary; it toucheth thee, and thou art affrighted.
6你的倚靠不是在你敬畏 上帝 嗎？ 你的盼望不是在你行事純正嗎？
6Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, and thy hope the integrity of thy ways?
7請你追想：無辜的人有誰滅亡？ 正直的人在何處剪除？
7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
8按我所見，耕罪孽、種毒害的人 都照樣收割。
8According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow mischief, reap the same.
9上帝一出氣，他們就滅亡； 上帝一發怒，他們就消沒。
9By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger are they consumed.
10獅子的吼叫和猛獅的聲音 盡都止息 ； 少壯獅子的牙齒也都敲掉。
10The lion roareth, and the fierce lion howleth — yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11老獅子因絕食而死； 母獅之子也都離散。
11The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
12我暗暗地得了默示； 我耳朵也聽其細微的聲音。
12Now a word was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a whisper thereof.
13在思念夜中、異象之間， 世人沉睡的時候，
13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14恐懼、戰兢臨到我身， 使我百骨打戰。
14Fear came upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were made to shake.
15有靈從我面前經過， 我身上的毫毛直立。
15Then a spirit passed before my face, that made the hair of my flesh to stand up.
16那靈停住， 我卻不能辨其形狀； 有影像在我眼前。 我在靜默中聽見有聲音 說 ：
16It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; a form was before mine eyes; I heard a still voice:
17必死的人豈能比上帝公義嗎？ 人豈能比造他的主潔淨嗎？
17'Shall mortal man be just before God? Shall a man be pure before his Maker?
18主不信靠他的臣僕， 並且指他的使者為愚昧；
18Behold, He putteth no trust in His servants, and His angels He chargeth with folly;
19何況那住在土房、根基在塵土裏、 被蠹蟲所毀壞的人呢？
19How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
20早晚之間，就被毀滅， 永歸無有，無人理會。
20Betwixt morning and evening they are shattered; they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21他帳棚的繩索豈不從中抽出來呢？ 他死，且是無智慧而死。
21Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.'
