伯22

約伯記-Job 第 22 章

22:1	提幔人以利法回答說， And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
22:2	人豈能對神有益呢？明智的人隻能有益於己。 Can a man of might be of any use to God? No, a man of insight is of use only to himself.
22:3	你為人公義，豈叫全能者喜悅？你行徑完全，豈能使祂得利？ Is it a matter of delight to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it a gain to Him that you make your ways perfect?
22:4	豈是因你敬畏祂，祂就責備你，與你爭訟麼？ Is it because of your fear of Him that He reproves you, That He enters into judgment with you?
22:5	你的惡豈不是大麼？你的罪孽豈不是沒有窮盡麼？ Is not your wickedness great, And is there no end to your iniquities?
22:6	因你無故強取弟兄之物作抵押，剝去貧寒人的衣服。 For you have taken pledges from your brothers without cause And stripped the naked of their clothing.
22:7	困乏的人，你沒有給他水喝；饑餓的人，你沒有給他食物。 You have not given water to the weary to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
22:8	有能力的人，就得有地土；尊貴的人，也住在其中。 And as for the man of power, the earth was his; And the man of honor dwelt in it.
22:9	你打發寡婦空著回去，你折斷孤兒的膀臂。 You have sent away the widows empty, And the arms of the orphans have been crushed.
22:10	因此，有網羅環繞你，有恐懼忽然使你驚惶； Therefore snares are all around you; And sudden dread troubles you,
22:11	或有黑暗，以致你看不見，並有洪水淹沒你。 Or darkness, so that you cannot see; And an abundance of waters covers you.
22:12	神豈不是在高天麼？你看最高的星宿是何其高！ Is not God at the height of heaven? And look at the highest of the stars, how lofty they are!
22:13	你說，神知道什麼？他豈能看透幽暗施行審判呢？ And you say, What does God know? Can He judge through the deep darkness?
22:14	密雲將祂遮蓋，使祂不能看見；祂在天的大圈上行走。 Thick clouds are a covering to Him, so He cannot see; And He walks upon the circle of the heavens.
22:15	你要依從古往的道路麼？這道路是惡人所行的； Will you keep the old way, Which wicked men have trodden?
22:16	他們未到死期，就被攫去，他們的根基好像江河潰瀉； Such were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured forth like a stream;
22:17	他們向神說，離開我們罷；又說，全能者能為我們成就什麼呢？ Who said to God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty accomplish for us?
22:18	那知神以美物充滿他們的房屋；但惡人的謀算離祂好遠。 Yet He fills their houses with good things. But the counsel of the wicked is far from Him.
22:19	義人看見了就歡喜，無辜的人也嗤笑他們， The righteous see and rejoice, And the innocent deride them,
22:20	說，那些起來攻擊我們的，果然被剪除，其餘的都被火燒滅。 Saying, Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire has devoured.
22:21	你要與神親善和好，福樂必因此臨到你。 Be well disposed to Him and at peace with Him; By such, good will come upon you.
22:22	你當領受祂口中的教訓，將祂的言語存在心裏。 Receive instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart.
22:23	你若歸向全能者，就必得建立。你若使不義遠離你的帳棚， If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up. If you put injustice far away from your tents,
22:24	將你的金塊丟在塵土裏，將俄斐的金子丟在溪河石頭之間， And place your gold nuggets in the dust And your gold of Ophir in the stones of the brooks,
22:25	全能者就必作你的金塊，作你的寶銀。 Then the Almighty will be your gold nuggets And precious silver to you.
22:26	那時你要以全能者為喜樂，向神仰起臉來。 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, And you will lift up your countenance to God.
22:27	你禱告祂，祂就聽你；你也要還你的願。 You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; And you will repay your vows.
22:28	你定意作何事，必然給你成就；亮光也必照耀你的路。 You will also decree something, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.
22:29	人使你降卑，你就說，必得高升！謙卑的人，神必然拯救。 When they cast you down, you will say, I am up! And the lowly person He will save.
22:30	人非無辜，神尚且搭救他；因你手中清潔，你必蒙拯救。 He will deliver him who is not innocent; Yes, you will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.
