40:1
|
耶和华又对约伯说：
|
|
|
Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said,
|
|
40:2
|
强辩的岂可与全能者争论吗？与神辩驳的可以回答这些吧！
|
|
|
Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
|
|
40:3
|
于是，约伯回答耶和华说：
|
|
|
Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,
|
|
40:4
|
我是卑贱的！我用什么回答你呢？只好用手摀口。
|
|
|
Behold, I am of small account; What shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.
|
|
40:5
|
我说了一次，再不回答；说了两次，就不再说。
|
|
|
Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; Yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.
|
|
40:6
|
于是，耶和华从旋风中回答约伯说：
|
|
|
Then 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 thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
|
|
40:8
|
你岂可废弃我所拟定的？岂可定我有罪，好显自己为义吗？
|
|
|
Wilt thou even annul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?
|
|
40:9
|
你有神那样的膀臂吗？你能像他发雷声吗？
|
|
|
Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
|
|
40:10
|
你要以荣耀庄严为妆饰，以尊荣威严为衣服；
|
|
|
Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity; And array thyself with honor and majesty.
|
|
40:11
|
要发出你满溢的怒气，见一切骄傲的人，使他降卑；
|
|
|
Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger; And look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.
|
|
40:12
|
见一切骄傲的人，将他制伏，把恶人践踏在本处；
|
|
|
Look on every one that is proud, [and] bring him low; And tread down the wicked where they stand.
|
|
40:13
|
将他们一同隐藏在尘土中，把他们的脸蒙蔽在隐密处；
|
|
|
Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden [place].
|
|
40:14
|
我就认你右手能以救自己。
|
|
|
Then will I also confess of thee That thine own right hand can save thee.
|
|
40:15
|
你且观看河马；我造你也造他。他吃草与牛一样；
|
|
|
Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as thee; He eateth grass as an ox.
|
|
40:16
|
他的气力在腰间，能力在肚腹的筋上。
|
|
|
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, And his force is in the muscles of his belly.
|
|
40:17
|
他摇动尾巴如香柏树；他大腿的筋互相联络。
|
|
|
He moveth his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
|
|
40:18
|
他的骨头好像铜管；他的肢体彷佛铁棍。
|
|
|
His bones are [as] tubes of brass; His limbs are like bars of iron.
|
|
40:19
|
他在神所造的物中为首；创造他的给他刀剑。
|
|
|
He is the chief of the ways of God: He [only] that made him giveth him his sword.
|
|
40:20
|
诸山给他出食物，也是百兽游玩之处。
|
|
|
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the beasts of the field do play.
|
|
40:21
|
他伏在莲叶之下，卧在芦苇隐密处和水洼子里。
|
|
|
He lieth under the lotus-trees, In the covert of the reed, and the fen.
|
|
40:22
|
莲叶的阴凉遮蔽他；溪旁的柳树环绕他。
|
|
|
The lotus-trees cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook compass him about.
|
|
40:23
|
河水泛滥，他不发战；就是约但河的水涨到他口边，也是安然。
|
|
|
Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.
|
|
40:24
|
在他防备的时候，谁能捉拿他？谁能牢笼他穿他的鼻子呢？
|
|
|
Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?
