Job |
| 1約伯回答說： |
1 Then Job spoke again and said: |
| 2無能為力的人，你怎樣援助了他？無力的手臂，你怎樣支持了他？ |
2What help you give to the powerless, what strength to the feeble arm! |
| 3你給無知的人出過什麼主意，表現了你豐富的智慧？ |
3How you counsel, as though he had no wisdom; how profuse is the advice you offer! |
| 4你說這些話是指教誰？從你心裏發出的是什麼精神？ |
4With whose help have you uttered those words, and whose is the breath that comes forth from you? |
| 5幽魂在地下打顫，海底與居於海底的，驚恐不已。 |
5 The shades beneath writhe in terror, the waters, and their inhabitants. |
| 6陰府在他前面顯露，死域也沒有遮掩。 |
6 Naked before him is the nether world, and Abaddon has no covering. |
| 7他將北極伸張到太虛，將大地懸於虛無之上。 |
7 He stretches out the North over empty space, and suspends the earth over nothing at all; |
| 8他將水包裹在濃雲中，托水的雲彩卻不破裂。 |
8He binds up the waters in his clouds, yet the cloud is not rent by their weight; |
| 9他遮蔽了滿月的面貌，使雲彩散佈其上。 |
9He holds back the appearance of the full moon by spreading his clouds before it. |
| 10在水面上劃了一圓圈，當作光明與黑暗的分界。 |
10 He has marked out a circle on the surface of the deep as the boundary of light and darkness. |
| 11支天的柱子震動，因他的呵叱而戰慄。 |
11The pillars of the heavens tremble and are stunned at his thunderous rebuke; |
| 12他以威力使海洋動盪，以明智擊傷了海怪。 |
12 By his power he stirs up the sea, and by his might he crushes Rahab; |
| 13他一噓氣，天氣清朗；他親手戳穿了飛龍。 |
13 With his angry breath he scatters the waters, and he hurls the lightning against them relentlessly; His hand pierces the fugitive dragon as from his hand it strives to flee. |
| 14看啊！這只是他行動的一端，我們所聽到的語句，何其細微！他轟轟烈烈的作為，有誰能明瞭？ |
14Lo, these are but the outlines of his ways, and how faint is the word we hear! |
