| 約伯記-Job 第 40 章 |
| 40:1 | 耶和華又回答約伯說， And Jehovah answered Job and said, |
| 40:2 | 責難的人，豈可與全能者爭論？與神辯駁的，可以回答這些罷。 Shall one who finds fault contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God answer it. |
| 40:3 | 於是約伯回答耶和華說， Then Job answered Jehovah and said, |
| 40:4 | 看哪，我是卑賤的，可用什麼回答你呢？我隻好用手捂口。 Indeed, I am worthless. What shall I reply to You? I lay my hand over my mouth. |
| 40:5 | 我說了一次，再不回答；說了兩次，就不再說。 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; And twice, and I will proceed no further. |
| 40:6 | 於是耶和華從旋風中回答約伯，說， And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, |
| 40:7 | 你要如勇士束腰；我問你，你可以指示我。 Gird up now your loins like a mighty man; For I will ask of you, and you shall inform Me. |
| 40:8 | 你豈真要廢棄我所審斷的？豈可定我有罪，好顯自己為義麼？ Will you indeed annul my judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified? |
| 40:9 | 你有神那樣的膀臂麼？你能以祂那樣的聲音打雷麼？ Or do you have an arm like God's, And can you thunder with a voice like His? |
| 40:10 | 你當以威榮尊高為妝飾，以尊榮威嚴為衣服； Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency, And array yourself with honor and splendor. |
| 40:11 | 倒出你滿溢的怒氣，觀看一切驕傲的人，使他們降卑； Pour forth the overflowings of your anger, And look upon everyone who is proud, and abase him. |
| 40:12 | 觀看一切驕傲的人，將他們製伏；把惡人踐踏在他們所立之處； Look upon everyone who is proud; bring him down; And tread down the wicked where they stand. |
| 40:13 | 將他們一同隱藏在塵土中，把他們的臉纏裹在隱密處。 Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden place. |
| 40:14 | 這樣，我也就稱讚你，因你的右手能救自己。 Then even I will praise you, That your own right hand can save you. |
| 40:15 | 你且觀看河馬，我造你也造牠；牠吃草與牛一樣。 Behold now the behemoth, which I made as well as you: He eats grass like the ox. |
| 40:16 | 看哪，牠的力量在腰間，能力在肚腹的肌肉上。 Behold now, his strength is in his loins, And his power is in the muscles of his belly. |
| 40:17 | 牠搖動尾巴如香柏樹；牠大腿的筋互相聯結。 He bends his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs knit together. |
| 40:18 | 牠的骨頭好像銅管；牠的肢體仿佛鐵棍。 His bones are like bronze tubes; His limbs, like iron bars. |
| 40:19 | 牠在神的造物中為首；惟有造牠的能拿刀劍靠近牠。 He is the first of God's ways; Only his Maker can approach him with His sword. |
| 40:20 | 諸山給牠出產食物，田野百獸也在那裏遊玩。 For the mountains yield food for him, Where every animal of the field plays. |
| 40:21 | 牠伏在蓮葉之下，臥在蘆葦隱密處和沼澤裏。 Under the lotus plants he lies down, In the covert of the reed and the marsh. |
| 40:22 | 蓮葉的陰影遮蔽牠，溪旁的柳樹環繞牠。 The lotus plants cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook surround him. |
| 40:23 | 看哪，河水泛濫，牠不戰抖；就是約但河的水衝到牠口邊，牠也是安然。 Indeed, if a river overflows, he does not tremble; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes against his mouth. |
| 40:24 | 在牠警覺的時候，誰能捉拿牠，或用鉤子穿牠的鼻子呢？ Will anyone catch him while he is watching, Or pierce his nose with a snare? |
