伯39

約伯記-Job 第 39 章

39:1	你知道山岩間的野山羊幾時生產麼？你能察定母鹿幾時下犢麼？ Do you know the time when the mountain goats bring forth? Can you mark the time when the hinds calve?
39:2	你能數算牠們懷胎須滿足的月數麼？你知道牠們幾時生產麼？ Can you number the months that they must fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bring forth?
39:3	牠們屈身，將子生下，就把疼痛中所生的遣走。 They crouch down; they give birth to their young ones; They send forth their offspring.
39:4	牠們的崽子漸漸肥壯，在荒野長大，一出去就不返回。 Their young become strong; they grow up in the open field; They go forth and do not return to them.
39:5	誰放野驢出去自由？誰解開快驢的繩索？ Who has sent out the wild ass free? Or who has loosed the bonds of the swift ass,
39:6	我使曠野作牠的住家，使鹹地當牠的居所。 Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land, his dwelling place?
39:7	牠嗤笑城內的喧嚷，不聽趕牲口者的呼喝。 He scorns the tumult of the city; He does not hear the shouts of the driver.
39:8	牠探覓群山作草場，尋找各樣青綠之物。 He searches out the mountains for his pasture And seeks after every green thing.
39:9	野牛豈肯服事你，豈肯在你的槽旁過夜？ Will the wild ox be willing to serve you Or spend the night by your manger?
39:10	你豈能用套繩將野牛係在犁溝之間？牠豈肯隨你耙山穀之地？ Can you bind the wild ox to the furrows with his ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
39:11	豈可因牠的力大，就倚靠牠？豈可把你勞碌的工交給牠作？ Will you trust in him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him?
39:12	豈可信靠牠把你的穀種運回家，又把穀收聚到你的禾場？ Will you have confidence in him that he will bring in your seed And gather your grain to your threshing floor?
39:13	鴕鳥的翅膀歡然扇展，豈是顯慈愛的翎毛和羽毛麼？ The wings of the ostrich flap joyously: Are they the pinion and plumage of lovingkindness?
39:14	因牠把蛋留在地上，使其在塵土中得溫暖； For she leaves her eggs on the earth And warms them in the dust.
39:15	卻忘了腳會把蛋踹碎，田野的獸會把蛋踐踏。 And she forgets that a foot may crush them Or that an animal of the field may trample them.
39:16	牠忍心待雛，似乎不是自己的；雖然徒受勞苦，也不懼怕； She is hard with her children, as if they were not hers; Though her labor may be in vain, she has no fear;
39:17	因為神使牠沒有智慧，也未將聰明分授與牠。 Because God has caused her to forget wisdom And has not appointed understanding to her.
39:18	牠幾時挺身騰躍，就嗤笑馬和騎馬的人。 At that time when she lifts herself up on high, She scorns the horse and its rider.
39:19	馬的大力是你所賜的麼？牠頸項上挓桫的鬃，是你給牠披上的麼？ Have you given the horse his might? Have you clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
39:20	是你叫牠跳躍像蝗蟲麼？牠噴氣之威使人驚惶。 Have you made him to leap like a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
39:21	牠在穀中刨地，以自己的力氣為樂；牠出去迎接佩帶兵器的人。 He paws in the valley, And he rejoices in his strength; He goes forth to meet weapons.
39:22	牠嗤笑可怕的事，並不驚惶，也不因刀劍退回。 He laughs at fear and is not dismayed, And he does not turn back from the sword.
39:23	箭袋和發亮的槍，並短槍，在牠身上錚錚有聲。 A quiver of arrows rattles against him, The flashing spear and the javelin.
39:24	牠發猛烈的怒氣將地吞下；一聽角聲就不耐站住。 With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground, And he is not stilled by the sound of the trumpet.
39:25	角每發聲，牠就說，阿哈！牠從遠處聞著戰氣，又聽見軍長大發雷聲，和兵丁呐喊。 As often as the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! And from afar he smells the battle, The thundering of captains and the shouting.
39:26	鷹能飛翔，展翅南飛，豈是藉你的聰明麼？ Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings to the south?
39:27	大鷹上騰，在高處搭窩，豈是聽你的吩咐麼？ Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high?
39:28	牠住在山岩，宿於山峰和堅固之處； On the cliff he dwells and makes his lodging, Upon the point of the cliff and the stronghold.
39:29	從那裏窺看食物，眼睛遠遠觀望。 From there he spies out food; His eyes gaze on it from afar.
39:30	牠的雛也咂血；被殺的人在那裏，牠也在那裏。 And his young ones suck up the blood; And where the slain are, there he is.
