伯40

约伯记-Job 第 40 章

40:1	耶和华又回答约伯说， And Jehovah answered Job and said,
40:2	责难的人，岂可与全能者争论？与神辩驳的，可以回答这些罢。 Shall one who finds fault contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God answer it.
40:3	于是约伯回答耶和华说， Then Job answered Jehovah and said,
40:4	看哪，我是卑贱的，可用什么回答你呢？我只好用手捂口。 Indeed, I am worthless. What shall I reply to You? I lay my hand over my mouth.
40:5	我说了一次，再不回答；说了两次，就不再说。 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; And twice, and I will proceed no further.
40:6	于是耶和华从旋风中回答约伯，说， And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
40:7	你要如勇士束腰；我问你，你可以指示我。 Gird up now your loins like a mighty man; For I will ask of you, and you shall inform Me.
40:8	你岂真要废弃我所审断的？岂可定我有罪，好显自己为义么？ Will you indeed annul my judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified?
40:9	你有神那样的膀臂么？你能以祂那样的声音打雷么？ Or do you have an arm like God's, And can you thunder with a voice like His?
40:10	你当以威荣尊高为妆饰，以尊荣威严为衣服； Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency, And array yourself with honor and splendor.
40:11	倒出你满溢的怒气，观看一切骄傲的人，使他们降卑； Pour forth the overflowings of your anger, And look upon everyone who is proud, and abase him.
40:12	观看一切骄傲的人，将他们制伏；把恶人践踏在他们所立之处； Look upon everyone who is proud; bring him down; And tread down the wicked where they stand.
40:13	将他们一同隐藏在尘土中，把他们的脸缠裹在隐密处。 Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden place.
40:14	这样，我也就称赞你，因你的右手能救自己。 Then even I will praise you, That your own right hand can save you.
40:15	你且观看河马，我造你也造牠；牠吃草与牛一样。 Behold now the behemoth, which I made as well as you: He eats grass like the ox.
40:16	看哪，牠的力量在腰间，能力在肚腹的肌肉上。 Behold now, his strength is in his loins, And his power is in the muscles of his belly.
40:17	牠摇动尾巴如香柏树；牠大腿的筋互相联结。 He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs knit together.
40:18	牠的骨头好像铜管；牠的肢体仿佛铁棍。 His bones are like bronze tubes; His limbs, like iron bars.
40:19	牠在神的造物中为首；惟有造牠的能拿刀剑靠近牠。 He is the first of God's ways; Only his Maker can approach him with His sword.
40:20	诸山给牠出产食物，田野百兽也在那里游玩。 For the mountains yield food for him, Where every animal of the field plays.
40:21	牠伏在莲叶之下，卧在芦苇隐密处和沼泽里。 Under the lotus plants he lies down, In the covert of the reed and the marsh.
40:22	莲叶的阴影遮蔽牠，溪旁的柳树环绕牠。 The lotus plants cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook surround him.
40:23	看哪，河水泛滥，牠不战抖；就是约但河的水冲到牠口边，牠也是安然。 Indeed, if a river overflows, he does not tremble; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes against his mouth.
40:24	在牠警觉的时候，谁能捉拿牠，或用钩子穿牠的鼻子呢？ Will anyone catch him while he is watching, Or pierce his nose with a snare?
