22:1
|
提幔人以利法回答说：
|
|
|
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
|
|
22:2
|
人岂能使神有益呢？智慧人但能有益于己。
|
|
|
Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.
|
|
22:3
|
你为人公义，岂叫全能者喜悦呢？你行为完全，岂能使他得利呢？
|
|
|
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain [to him], that thou makest thy ways perfect?
|
|
22:4
|
岂是因你敬畏他就责备你、审判你吗？
|
|
|
Is it for thy fear [of him] that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?
|
|
22:5
|
你的罪恶岂不是大吗？你的罪孽也没有穷尽；
|
|
|
Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.
|
|
22:6
|
因你无故强取弟兄的物为当头，剥去贫寒人的衣服。
|
|
|
For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.
|
|
22:7
|
困乏的人，你没有给他水喝；饥饿的人，你没有给他食物。
|
|
|
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
|
|
22:8
|
有能力的人就得地土；尊贵的人也住在其中。
|
|
|
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.
|
|
22:9
|
你打发寡妇空手回去，折断孤儿的膀臂。
|
|
|
Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
|
|
22:10
|
因此，有网罗环绕你，有恐惧忽然使你惊惶；
|
|
|
Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,
|
|
22:11
|
或有黑暗蒙蔽你，并有洪水淹没你。
|
|
|
Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee.
|
|
22:12
|
神岂不是在高天吗？你看星宿何其高呢！
|
|
|
Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
|
|
22:13
|
你说：神知道什么？他岂能看透幽暗施行审判呢？
|
|
|
And thou sayest, What doth God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
|
|
22:14
|
密云将他遮盖，使他不能看见；他周游穹苍。
|
|
|
Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.
|
|
22:15
|
你要依从上古的道吗？这道是恶人所行的。
|
|
|
Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?
|
|
22:16
|
他们未到死期，忽然除灭；根基毁坏，好像被江河冲去。
|
|
|
Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
|
|
22:17
|
他们向神说：离开我们吧！又说：全能者能把我们怎么样呢？
|
|
|
Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?
|
|
22:18
|
哪知神以美物充满他们的房屋；但恶人所谋定的离我好远。
|
|
|
Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
|
|
22:19
|
义人看见他们的结局就欢喜；无辜的人嗤笑他们，
|
|
|
The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,
|
|
22:20
|
说：那起来攻击我们的果然被剪除，其余的都被火烧灭。
|
|
|
[Saying], Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.
|
|
22:21
|
你要认识神，就得平安；福气也必临到你。
|
|
|
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.
|
|
22:22
|
你当领受他口中的教训，将他的言语存在心里。
|
|
|
Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thy heart.
|
|
22:23
|
你若归向全能者，从你帐棚中远除不义，就必得建立。
|
|
|
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.
|
|
22:24
|
要将你的珍宝丢在尘土里，将俄斐的黄金丢在溪河石头之间；
|
|
|
And lay thou [thy] treasure in the dust, And [the gold of] Ophir among the stones of the brooks;
|
|
22:25
|
全能者就必为你的珍宝，作你的宝银。
|
|
|
And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee.
|
|
22:26
|
你就要以全能者为喜乐，向神仰起脸来。
|
|
|
For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.
|
|
22:27
|
你要祷告他，他就听你；你也要还你的愿。
|
|
|
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.
|
|
22:28
|
你定意要做何事，必然给你成就；亮光也必照耀你的路。
|
|
|
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.
|
|
22:29
|
人使你降卑，你仍可说：必得高升；谦卑的人，神必然拯救。
|
|
|
When they cast [thee] down, thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; And the humble person he will save.
|
|
22:30
|
人非无辜，神且要搭救他；他因你手中清洁，必蒙拯救。
|
|
|
He will deliver [even] him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
