約伯傳 |
Job | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 上主又接著問約伯說： | 1 | And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said : |
| 2 | 好辯之士，豈能同全能者辯論？非難天主的，請答覆這一切！ | 2 | Gird up thy loins like a man : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. |
| 3 | 約伯回答上主說： | 3 | Wilt thou make void my judgment : and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified? |
| 4 | 「看，我這麼卑賤，我能回答什麼？只好用手掩口。 | 4 | And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him? |
| 5 | 我說過一次，再不敢重複；我再說一次：我不敢再說什麼！」 | 5 | Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments. |
| 6 | 上主由旋風中回答約伯說： | 6 | Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him. |
| 7 | 你要像勇士束好腰，我要問你，請指教我。 | 7 | Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place. |
| 8 | 你豈能推翻我的評斷，歸罪於我，而自以為有理？ | 8 | Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit. |
| 9 | 你的手臂豈能同天主的相比？你的聲音，那能像雷鳴？ | 9 | Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee. |
| 10 | 請你以尊貴和高雅作你的點綴，以光華美麗作你的衣裳； | 10 | Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox. |
| 11 | 發洩你的烈怒，貶抑一切高傲的人； | 11 | His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly. |
| 12 | 視察一切傲慢的人，且加以制服，推翻惡人所處的地位； | 12 | He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together. |
| 13 | 將他們一同埋在土中，把他們都關在黑暗中 | 13 | His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron. |
| 14 | 如果你能這樣作，我也要稱讚你，因為你的右手救護了你。 | 14 | He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword. |
| 15 | 且看河馬，牠同你都是我造成的，牠像牛一樣吃草。 | 15 | To him the mountains bring forth grass : there all the beasts of the field shall play. |
| 16 | 牠的精力全在腰部，牠的力量是在腹部的肌肉； | 16 | He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places. |
| 17 | 牠挺起尾巴好像香柏，大腿上的筋聯結在一起； | 17 | The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about. |
| 18 | 牠的脊骨好似銅管，牠的骨骸有如鐵杠。 | 18 | Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder : and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth. |
| 19 | 牠是天主的傑作，造牠者賜給了牠利刃。 | 19 | In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes. |
| 20 | 群山供給牠食物，百獸在那裡同牠遊戲。 | 20 | Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord? |
| 21 | 牠臥在蓮葉之下，躺在蘆葦和沼澤深處； | 21 | Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle? |
| 22 | 蓮葉的蔭影遮蔽著牠，溪邊的楊柳掩護著牠。 | 22 | Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee? |
| 23 | 河水漲溢之時，牠毫不戰慄；約但河漲到牠口邊，牠仍安寧。 | 23 | Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever? |
| 24 | 誰能在牠目前捕捉牠，或以木橛穿透牠的鼻孔？ | 24 | Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids? |
| 25 | 你豈能以魚鉤鉤上鱷魚？以繩索縛住牠的舌頭？ | 25 | Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him? |
| 26 | 你豈能以鼻圈穿過牠的鼻子，以鉤子刺透牠的腮骨？ | 26 | Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head? |
| 27 | 牠豈能再三向你哀求，向你說甜言蜜語？ | 27 | Lay thy hand upon him : remember the battle, and speak no more. |
| 28 | 牠豈能同你訂立盟約，使自己常作你的奴隸？ | 28 | Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down. |
| 29 | 你豈能玩弄牠像玩弄小鳥，將牠縛著作你女兒的玩物？ | 29 | |
| 30 | 結夥的漁人不是想在牠身謀利，將牠售與商人？ | 30 | |
| 31 | 你豈能以長矛穿透牠的皮，以魚叉刺透牠的頭顱？ | 31 | |
| 32 | 將你的掌撫在牠身上罷！若你想到惡鬥，決不敢再撫。 | 32 | |
