Job 33
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.
1约伯 啊,请听我的话, 留心听我一切的言语。
2Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
2我现在开口, 用舌发言。
3My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
3我的言语 要发明 心中所存的正直; 我所知道的,我嘴唇要诚实地说出。
4The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty given me life.
4神的灵造我; 全能者的气使我得生。
5If thou canst, answer thou me, set thy words in order before me, stand forth.
5你若回答我, 就站起来,在我面前陈明。
6Behold, I am toward God even as thou art; I also am formed out of the clay.
6我在 神面前与你一样, 也是用土造成。
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
7我不用威严惊吓你, 也不用势力重压你。
8Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words;
8你所说的,我听见了, 也听见你的言语, 说 :
9'I am clean, without transgression, I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me;
9我是清洁无过的,我是无辜的; 在我里面也没有罪孽。
10Behold, He findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for His enemy;
10神找机会攻击我, 以我为仇敌,
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.'
11把我的脚上了木狗, 窥察我一切的道路。
12Behold, I answer thee: In this thou art not right, that God is too great for man;
12我要回答你说:你这话无理, 因 神比世人更大。
13Why hast thou striven against Him? seeing that He will not answer any of his words.
13你为何与他争论呢? 因他的事都不对人解说?
14For God speaketh in one way, yea in two, though man perceiveth it not.
14神说一次、两次, 世人 却不理会。
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
15人躺在床上沉睡的时候, 神就用梦和夜间的异象,
16Then He openeth the ears of men, and by their chastisement sealeth the decree,
16开通他们的耳朵, 将当受的教训印在他们心上,
17That men may put away their purpose, and that He may hide pride from man;
17好叫人不从自己的谋算, 不行骄傲的事,
18That He may keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
18拦阻人不陷于坑里, 不死在刀下。
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and all his bones grow stiff;
19人在床上被惩治, 骨头中不住地疼痛,
20So that his life maketh him to abhor bread, and his soul dainty food.
20以致他的口厌弃食物, 心厌恶美味。
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones corrode to unsightliness.
21他的肉消瘦,不得再见; 先前不见的骨头都凸出来。
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
22他的灵魂临近深坑; 他的生命近于灭命的。
23If there be for him an angel, an intercessor, one among a thousand, to vouch for a man's uprightness;
23一千天使中, 若有一个作传话的与 神同在, 指示人所当行的事,
24Then He is gracious unto him, and saith: 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'
24神就给他开恩, 说:救赎他免得下坑; 我已经得了赎价。
25His flesh is tenderer than a child's; he returneth to the days of his youth;
25他的肉要比孩童的肉更嫩; 他就返老还童。
26He prayeth unto God, and He is favourable unto him; so that he seeth His face with joy; and He restoreth unto man his righteousness.
26他祷告 神, 神就喜悦他, 使他欢呼朝见 神的面; 神又看他为义。
27He cometh before men, and saith: 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not.'
27他在人前歌唱说: 我犯了罪,颠倒是非, 这竟与我无益。
28So He redeemeth his soul from going into the pit, and his life beholdeth the light.
28神救赎我的灵魂免入深坑; 我的生命也必见光。
29Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, yea thrice, with a man,
29神两次、三次向人行这一切的事,
30To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
30为要从深坑救回人的灵魂, 使他被光照耀,与活人一样。
31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me; hold thy peace, and I will speak.
31约伯 啊,你当侧耳听我的话, 不要作声,等我讲说。
32If thou hast any thing to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.
32你若有话说,就可以回答我; 你只管说,因我愿以你为是。
33If not, hearken thou unto me; hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
33若不然,你就听我说; 你不要作声,我便将智慧教训你。
