約伯記 40 – CCBT & KJV

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

約伯記 40:1-24

1耶和華又對約伯說:

2「強辯者豈可與全能者爭論?

與上帝辯駁的人請作出答覆。」

3約伯回答耶和華說:

4「我這樣卑微,怎能答覆你?

我只有用手掩口。

5我說了一次,不能答覆;

說了兩次,不敢再說。」

6耶和華從旋風中對約伯說:

7「你要像勇士一樣束腰備戰,

我來提問,你來回答。

8你要推翻我的公義,

歸罪於我而自以為義嗎?

9你有上帝那樣的臂膀嗎?

你能像祂那樣發出雷鳴嗎?

10請展示你的榮耀和光輝,

披上你的尊榮和威嚴;

11發洩你滿腔的怒火,

鑒察驕傲者,貶抑他;

12鑒察驕傲者,制伏他,

將惡人原地踐踏;

13將他們一起埋進塵土,

藏入幽冥。

14這樣,我就承認你的右手能拯救自己。

15「你看河馬,

牠和你都是我造的,

牠像牛一樣吃草。

16你看牠腰間的氣力,

牠腹部肌肉的力量。

17牠尾巴挺直如香柏樹,

大腿的筋緊密相連,

18骨頭如銅管,

四肢像鐵棍。

19牠是上帝創造的傑作,

創造主賜給牠利刃40·19 創造主賜給牠利刃」或譯「只有創造主能持利刃接近牠」。

20群山供應牠食物,

百獸在那裡玩耍。

21牠躺在蓮葉之下,

藏在泥沼的蘆葦間,

22蓮葉為牠遮蔭,

溪畔的柳樹環繞牠。

23河水氾濫,牠不驚懼;

約旦河漲到牠口邊,牠也無憂。

24誰能在牠警覺時捕捉牠,

或用鉤子穿透牠的鼻子?

King James Version

Job 40:1-24

1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, 2Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

3¶ Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 5Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

6¶ Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 7Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 8Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? 9Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? 10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. 11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. 12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 13Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. 14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

15¶ Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.40.15 behemoth: probably an extinct animal of some kind 16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.40.17 He…: or, He setteth up 18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. 23Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.40.23 he drinketh up: Heb. he oppresseth 24He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.40.24 He…: or, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?
