| 约伯记-Job 第 36 章 |
| 36:1 | 以利户又接着说， And Elihu added this and said, |
| 36:2 | 你再容我片时，我就指示你；因我还有话为神说。 Bear with me a little, and I will show you; For there is more to say for God. |
| 36:3 | 我要将所知道的从远处引来，将公义归给造我的主。 I will bring my knowledge from afar And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. |
| 36:4 | 我的言语真不虚谎；有一位知识全备的与你同在。 For truly my words are not false; One perfect in knowledge is with you. |
| 36:5 | 看哪，神有大能，并不藐视人；祂大有智慧的能力。 Indeed, God is mighty and does not despise; He is mighty in strength of understanding. |
| 36:6 | 祂不容恶人存活，却为困苦人伸冤。 He does not preserve the wicked man alive, But gives justice to the afflicted. |
| 36:7 | 祂的眼目时常看顾义人，祂使他们永远和君王同坐宝座，他们就得着高举。 He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; And with kings on the throne, He sets them forever, and they are exalted. |
| 36:8 | 他们若被锁炼捆住，被苦难的绳索缠住， And if they are bound in fetters, If they are caught in the cords of affliction, |
| 36:9 | 祂就把他们的作为和过犯指示他们，叫他们知道自己行动骄傲。 He shows them their work And their transgressions, that they have acted arrogantly. |
| 36:10 | 祂也开通他们的耳朵得受教训，吩咐他们离开罪孽转回。 He also opens their ear to instruction And commands that they return from iniquity. |
| 36:11 | 他们若听从事奉祂，就必度日亨通，历年福乐。 If they hear and serve Him, They will spend their days in prosperity And their years in pleasantness. |
| 36:12 | 若不听从，就要被刀杀灭，无知无识而死。 But if they do not hear, they will pass away by the sword And die without knowledge. |
| 36:13 | 但那心中不虔敬的人，积蓄怒气；神捆绑他们时，他们竟不呼救。 But those who are profane in heart lay up anger; They do not cry for help when He binds them. |
| 36:14 | 他们必在青年时死亡，与极污秽的人一样丧命。 They die in youth, And their life ends among the most defiled. |
| 36:15 | 神藉着困苦人所受的困苦救拔他们，藉着他们所受的欺压开通他们的耳朵。 He rescues the afflicted by their affliction And opens their ear through oppression. |
| 36:16 | 神也必引你出离患难的虎口，进入宽阔不狭窄之地；摆在你席上的，必满有肥甘。 Indeed He allures you from the jaws of distress Into a spacious place, where there is no constraint; And what is upon your table is full of fatness. |
| 36:17 | 但你满有恶人所当受的审判；判断和刑罚抓住了你。 But you are filled with the judgment of the wicked; Judgment and litigation have taken hold of you. |
| 36:18 | 不可容忿怒触动你侮慢神，也不可因赎价大就偏行。 Beware lest wrath allures you into scoffing, And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside. |
| 36:19 | 你的呼救，或是你一切的势力，能叫你不受患难么？ Will your cry keep you from being in distress, Or all the forces of your strength? |
| 36:20 | 不要切慕黑夜，就是众民在本处被除灭的时候。 Do not long for the night, When people are taken from their place. |
| 36:21 | 你要谨慎，不可转向罪孽；因你选择罪孽，过于选择苦难。 Take heed; do not turn toward iniquity; For you have chosen this rather than affliction. |
| 36:22 | 看哪，神因自己的能力被高举：教训人的，有谁像祂？ Indeed, God is exalted in His power: Who is a teacher like Him? |
| 36:23 | 谁派定祂的道路？谁说，你所行的不义？ Who has appointed His way for Him? And who says, You have done wrong? |
| 36:24 | 你要记得称赞祂所行的为大，就是人所歌颂的。 Remember to magnify His work, Of which men sing. |
| 36:25 | 祂所行的，万人都看见；世人都从远处观看。 All mankind has gazed on it; Man beholds it from afar. |
| 36:26 | 看哪，神为大，我们不能知晓；祂的年数不能测度。 Indeed, God is great, and we do not know Him; The number of His years we also cannot search out. |
| 36:27 | 祂吸取水点，这水点从祂的云雾中滴下成雨； For He draws up the drops of water Which distill into rain from His mist, |
| 36:28 | 云霓将雨落下，沛然降与世人。 Which the skies pour down And drop upon man abundantly. |
| 36:29 | 人真能明白云彩如何铺张，神的帷幕如何发出雷声么？ Can they indeed understand the spreading of the clouds, The thunderings of His pavilion? |
| 36:30 | 祂将闪电布散在自己四围，又遮覆海底。 Indeed, He scatters His lightning around Him And covers the roots of the sea. |
| 36:31 | 祂用这些审判众民，且赐丰富的粮食。 For by these He judges the peoples; He gives food in abundance. |
| 36:32 | 祂以闪电遮手，命闪电击中目标。 He fills His hands with lightning And commands it to strike the mark. |
| 36:33 | 所发的雷声将祂指明；牲畜也指明祂要来了。 Its noise tells of Him; The cattle as well tell concerning Him who is coming. |
