約伯記-Job 第 35 章

35:1以利戶繼續說,
Then Elihu continued and said,
35:2你說,我的公義勝於神的公義;你以為這樣說有理,
Do you consider this to be just, Do you say, My righteousness is more than God's,
35:3所以才說,這與我有什麼益處?我不犯罪比犯罪有什麼好處?
That you say, What advantage is there to me, What do I profit, more than if I had sinned?
35:4我要用言語回答你,和在你這裏的朋友。
I will respond to you with words, And to your companions with you.
35:5你當向天觀看,瞻望那高於你的穹蒼。
Look unto heaven and see; And behold the skies: They are higher than you.
35:6你若犯罪,對神能造成什麼妨礙?你的過犯增多,對神能作出什麼損害?
If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
35:7你若是公義,能給祂什麼?或者祂能從你手裏接受什麼?
If you are righteous, what can you give to Him, Or what does He receive from your hand?
35:8你的邪惡隻能害像你這樣的人,你的公義隻能叫世人得益處。
Your wickedness affects a man like you, And your righteousness, a son of man.
35:9人因多受欺壓就哀求,因強權者的轄製便呼救;
Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
35:10卻無人說,造我的神在那裏?祂使人夜間歌唱,
But no one says, Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,
35:11教訓我們勝於地上的走獸,使我們有智慧勝於空中的飛鳥。
Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?
35:12他們在那裏,因惡人的驕傲呼求,祂卻不答應。
There they cry, but He does not answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
35:13虛妄的呼求,神必不垂聽,全能者也必不理會。
Surely God does not hear an empty cry, And the Almighty does not regard it.
35:14何況你說,你不得見祂,你的案件在祂麵前,你正等候祂!
How much less when you say that you do not behold Him, That the cause is before Him and you are waiting on Him!
35:15但如今因祂未曾在怒中查究,也不甚理會狂傲,
But now, because He has not visited in His anger Nor regarded such great arrogance,
35:16所以約伯開口說虛妄的話,多發無知識的言語。
Job opens his mouth in vanity; He multiplies words without knowledge.
