約伯記 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
瑣法的回答
11 拿瑪人瑣法回答說：
2 「難道滔滔不絕就無人反駁？
難道嘮嘮叨叨就證明有理？
3 你喋喋不休，人們豈能緘默不言？
你嘲笑譏諷，豈不該有人使你羞愧？
4 你自以為信仰純全，
在上帝眼中清白。
5 唯願上帝發言，
開口駁斥你，
6 告訴你智慧的奧秘，
因為真智慧深奧難懂。
要知道，上帝對你的懲罰比你該受的還輕。
7 「你能測度上帝的深奧，
探索全能者的極限嗎？
8 那可比諸天還高，你能做什麼？
那可比陰間還深，你能知道什麼？
9 那可比大地還寬廣，
比海洋還遼闊。
10 祂若來囚禁你，
開庭審判，
誰能阻攔？
11 祂洞悉詭詐之人，
看見罪惡，
豈會不理？
12 愚蠢人若能變得聰明，
野驢駒也可生成人樣。
13 「你若把心安正，
向祂舉手禱告；
14 你若除去自己的罪惡，
不容帳篷裡有任何不義，
15 就必能無愧地仰起臉，
站立得穩，無所畏懼。
16 你必忘記自己的苦楚，
它從你記憶中如流水逝去。
17 你的人生將比正午還光明，
生命中的黑暗也必像黎明。
18 你必充滿盼望，感到安穩，
你必得到保護，安然入睡。
19 你睡覺時必無人驚擾，
許多人必求你施恩。
20 但惡人必眼目失明，無路可逃，
他們的指望只有死亡。」
Job 11

11 Tsophar de Naama prit la parole et dit:
2 Cette multitude de paroles ne trouvera-t-elle point de réponse, Et suffira-t-il d'être un discoureur pour avoir raison?
3 Tes vains propos feront-ils taire les gens? Te moqueras-tu, sans que personne te confonde?
4 Tu dis: Ma manière de voir est juste, Et je suis pur à tes yeux.
5 Oh! si Dieu voulait parler, S'il ouvrait les lèvres pour te répondre,
6 Et s'il te révélait les secrets de sa sagesse, De son immense sagesse, Tu verrais alors qu'il ne te traite pas selon ton iniquité.
7 Prétends-tu sonder les pensées de Dieu, Parvenir à la connaissance parfaite du Tout Puissant?
8 Elle est aussi haute que les cieux: que feras-tu? Plus profonde que le séjour des morts: que sauras-tu?
9 La mesure en est plus longue que la terre, Elle est plus large que la mer.
10 S'il passe, s'il saisit, S'il traîne à son tribunal, qui s'y opposera?
11 Car il connaît les vicieux, Il voit facilement les coupables.
12 L'homme, au contraire, a l'intelligence d'un fou, Il est né comme le petit d'un âne sauvage.
13 Pour toi, dirige ton coeur vers Dieu, Étends vers lui tes mains,
14 Éloigne-toi de l'iniquité, Et ne laisse pas habiter l'injustice sous ta tente.
15 Alors tu lèveras ton front sans tache, Tu seras ferme et sans crainte;
16 Tu oublieras tes souffrances, Tu t'en souviendras comme des eaux écoulées.
17 Tes jours auront plus d'éclat que le soleil à son midi, Tes ténèbres seront comme la lumière du matin,
18 Tu seras plein de confiance, et ton attente ne sera plus vaine; Tu regarderas autour de toi, et tu reposeras en sûreté.
19 Tu te coucheras sans que personne ne trouble, Et plusieurs caresseront ton visage.
20 Mais les yeux des méchants seront consumés; Pour eux point de refuge; La mort, voilà leur espérance!
Job 11
King James Version
11 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
12 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Job 11
New King James Version
Zophar Urges Job to Repent
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
2 “Should not the multitude of words be answered?
And should [a]a man full of talk be vindicated?
3 Should your empty talk make men [b]hold their peace?
And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?
4 For you have said,
(A)‘My doctrine is pure,
And I am clean in your eyes.’
5 But oh, that God would speak,
And open His lips against you,
6 That He would show you the secrets of wisdom!
For they would double your prudence.
Know therefore that (B)God [c]exacts from you
Less than your iniquity deserves.
7 “Can(C) you search out the deep things of God?
Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?
8 They are higher than heaven—what can you do?
Deeper than [d]Sheol—what can you know?
9 Their measure is longer than the earth
And broader than the sea.
10 “If(D) He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment,
Then who can [e]hinder Him?
11 For (E)He knows deceitful men;
He sees wickedness also.
Will He not then consider it?
12 For an (F)empty-headed man will be wise,
When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man.
13 “If you would (G)prepare your heart,
And (H)stretch out your hands toward Him;
14 If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away,
And (I)would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
15 (J)Then surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
16 Because you would (K)forget your misery,
And remember it as waters that have passed away,
17 And your life (L)would be brighter than noonday.
Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.
18 And you would be secure, because there is hope;
Yes, you would dig around you, and (M)take your rest in safety.
19 You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid;
Yes, many would court your favor.
20 But (N)the eyes of the wicked will fail,
And they shall not escape,
And (O)their hope—[f]loss of life!”
