伯36

約伯記-Job 第 36 章

36:1	以利戶又接著說， And Elihu added this and said,
36:2	你再容我片時，我就指示你；因我還有話為神說。 Bear with me a little, and I will show you; For there is more to say for God.
36:3	我要將所知道的從遠處引來，將公義歸給造我的主。 I will bring my knowledge from afar And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
36:4	我的言語真不虛謊；有一位知識全備的與你同在。 For truly my words are not false; One perfect in knowledge is with you.
36:5	看哪，神有大能，並不藐視人；祂大有智慧的能力。 Indeed, God is mighty and does not despise; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
36:6	祂不容惡人存活，卻為困苦人伸冤。 He does not preserve the wicked man alive, But gives justice to the afflicted.
36:7	祂的眼目時常看顧義人，祂使他們永遠和君王同坐寶座，他們就得著高舉。 He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; And with kings on the throne, He sets them forever, and they are exalted.
36:8	他們若被鎖煉捆住，被苦難的繩索纏住， And if they are bound in fetters, If they are caught in the cords of affliction,
36:9	祂就把他們的作為和過犯指示他們，叫他們知道自己行動驕傲。 He shows them their work And their transgressions, that they have acted arrogantly.
36:10	祂也開通他們的耳朵得受教訓，吩咐他們離開罪孽轉回。 He also opens their ear to instruction And commands that they return from iniquity.
36:11	他們若聽從事奉祂，就必度日亨通，曆年福樂。 If they hear and serve Him, They will spend their days in prosperity And their years in pleasantness.
36:12	若不聽從，就要被刀殺滅，無知無識而死。 But if they do not hear, they will pass away by the sword And die without knowledge.
36:13	但那心中不虔敬的人，積蓄怒氣；神捆綁他們時，他們竟不呼救。 But those who are profane in heart lay up anger; They do not cry for help when He binds them.
36:14	他們必在青年時死亡，與極汙穢的人一樣喪命。 They die in youth, And their life ends among the most defiled.
36:15	神藉著困苦人所受的困苦救拔他們，藉著他們所受的欺壓開通他們的耳朵。 He rescues the afflicted by their affliction And opens their ear through oppression.
36:16	神也必引你出離患難的虎口，進入寬闊不狹窄之地；擺在你席上的，必滿有肥甘。 Indeed He allures you from the jaws of distress Into a spacious place, where there is no constraint; And what is upon your table is full of fatness.
36:17	但你滿有惡人所當受的審判；判斷和刑罰抓住了你。 But you are filled with the judgment of the wicked; Judgment and litigation have taken hold of you.
36:18	不可容忿怒觸動你侮慢神，也不可因贖價大就偏行。 Beware lest wrath allures you into scoffing, And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
36:19	你的呼救，或是你一切的勢力，能叫你不受患難麼？ Will your cry keep you from being in distress, Or all the forces of your strength?
36:20	不要切慕黑夜，就是眾民在本處被除滅的時候。 Do not long for the night, When people are taken from their place.
36:21	你要謹慎，不可轉向罪孽；因你選擇罪孽，過於選擇苦難。 Take heed; do not turn toward iniquity; For you have chosen this rather than affliction.
36:22	看哪，神因自己的能力被高舉：教訓人的，有誰像祂？ Indeed, God is exalted in His power: Who is a teacher like Him?
36:23	誰派定祂的道路？誰說，你所行的不義？ Who has appointed His way for Him? And who says, You have done wrong?
36:24	你要記得稱讚祂所行的為大，就是人所歌頌的。 Remember to magnify His work, Of which men sing.
36:25	祂所行的，萬人都看見；世人都從遠處觀看。 All mankind has gazed on it; Man beholds it from afar.
36:26	看哪，神為大，我們不能知曉；祂的年數不能測度。 Indeed, God is great, and we do not know Him; The number of His years we also cannot search out.
36:27	祂吸取水點，這水點從祂的雲霧中滴下成雨； For He draws up the drops of water Which distill into rain from His mist,
36:28	雲霓將雨落下，沛然降與世人。 Which the skies pour down And drop upon man abundantly.
36:29	人真能明白雲彩如何鋪張，神的帷幕如何發出雷聲麼？ Can they indeed understand the spreading of the clouds, The thunderings of His pavilion?
36:30	祂將閃電布散在自己四圍，又遮覆海底。 Indeed, He scatters His lightning around Him And covers the roots of the sea.
36:31	祂用這些審判眾民，且賜豐富的糧食。 For by these He judges the peoples; He gives food in abundance.
36:32	祂以閃電遮手，命閃電擊中目標。 He fills His hands with lightning And commands it to strike the mark.
36:33	所發的雷聲將祂指明；牲畜也指明祂要來了。 Its noise tells of Him; The cattle as well tell concerning Him who is coming.
