約伯記 33
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
33 「約伯啊,請聽我言,
請留心聽我每一句話。
2 我要開口發言,
我話已在舌尖。
3 我的話發自正直的心,
我的口如實陳明道理。
4 上帝的靈創造了我,
全能者的氣賦予我生命。
5 如果你能,就反駁我,
站出來與我辯論。
6 在上帝面前,我與你無異,
也是泥土造的。
7 所以你不用懼怕我,
我不會對你施加壓力。
8 「你的話已進到我耳中,
我聽見你說,
9 『我純全無過,
我清白無罪,
10 上帝卻挑我的錯,
與我為敵;
11 祂給我戴上腳鐐,
鑒察我的一舉一動。』
12 「我來答覆你,你的話沒有道理,
因為上帝比世人大。
13 你為何向祂抱怨,
說祂不理會世人的話?
14 上帝一再用各種方式說話,
然而世人卻不明白。
15 人躺在床上沉睡時,
在夢境和夜間的異象中,
16 上帝開啟他們的耳朵,
用警告驚嚇他們,
17 使他們離開罪惡,
不再驕傲,
18 以免他們的靈魂墜入深坑,
他們的性命被刀劍奪去。
19 「人因受罰而臥病在床,
骨頭疼痛不止,
20 以致毫無食慾,
對佳餚心生厭惡。
21 他日漸消瘦,
只剩下骨頭。
22 他的靈魂臨近深坑,
他的生命瀕臨死亡。
23 如果一千天使中有一位能做他的中保,
指示他當行的事,
24 上帝[a]就會憐憫他,說,『別讓他下墳墓,
我已得到他的贖金。』
25 那時,他的皮肉將嫩如孩童,
他將恢復青春的活力。
26 他向上帝禱告時必蒙悅納,
他歡呼著朝見上帝,
再度被祂視為義人。
27 他會當眾歌唱說,
『我犯了罪,顛倒是非,
祂卻沒有按我的罪報應我。
28 祂救贖我的靈魂,使之免下深坑,
使我的生命得見光明。』
29 「看啊,這都是上帝的作為,
祂一次次地恩待世人,
30 從深坑救回人的靈魂,
使他沐浴生命之光。
31 約伯啊,留心聽我說,
不要作聲,我要發言。
32 你若有話,就答覆我;
你只管說,我願看到你的清白。
33 否則,請聽我言;
不要作聲,我要傳授你智慧。」

Job 33
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
33 Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2 Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws.
3 My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence.
4 The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
5 If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face.
6 Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed.
7 But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee.
8 Now thou has said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words:
9 I am clean, and without sin: I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me.
10 Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy.
11 He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths.
12 Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13 Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words?
14 God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time.
15 By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds:
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn.
17 That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride.
18 Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword.
19 He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither.
20 Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired.
21 His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare.
22 His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man's uprightness,
24 He shall have mercy on him, and shall say: Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption: I have found wherein I may be merciful to him.
25 His flesh is consumed with punishment, let him return to the days of his youth.
26 He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him: and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice.
27 He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved.
28 He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light.
29 Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one.
30 That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living.
31 Attend, Job, and hearken to me: and hold thy peace, whilst I speak.
32 But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak: for I would have thee to appear just.
33 And if thou have not, hear me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
Job 33
New International Version
33 “But now, Job, listen(A) to my words;
pay attention to everything I say.(B)
2 I am about to open my mouth;
my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3 My words come from an upright heart;(C)
my lips sincerely speak what I know.(D)
4 The Spirit(E) of God has made me;(F)
the breath of the Almighty(G) gives me life.(H)
5 Answer me(I) then, if you can;
stand up(J) and argue your case before me.(K)
6 I am the same as you in God’s sight;(L)
I too am a piece of clay.(M)
7 No fear of me should alarm you,
nor should my hand be heavy on you.(N)
8 “But you have said in my hearing—
I heard the very words—
9 ‘I am pure,(O) I have done no wrong;(P)
I am clean and free from sin.(Q)
10 Yet God has found fault with me;
he considers me his enemy.(R)
11 He fastens my feet in shackles;(S)
he keeps close watch on all my paths.’(T)
12 “But I tell you, in this you are not right,
for God is greater than any mortal.(U)
13 Why do you complain to him(V)
that he responds to no one’s words[a]?(W)
14 For God does speak(X)—now one way, now another(Y)—
though no one perceives it.(Z)
15 In a dream,(AA) in a vision(AB) of the night,(AC)
when deep sleep(AD) falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak(AE) in their ears
and terrify them(AF) with warnings,(AG)
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,(AH)
18 to preserve them from the pit,(AI)
their lives from perishing by the sword.[b](AJ)
19 “Or someone may be chastened(AK) on a bed of pain(AL)
with constant distress in their bones,(AM)
20 so that their body finds food(AN) repulsive
and their soul loathes the choicest meal.(AO)
21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing,
and their bones,(AP) once hidden, now stick out.(AQ)
22 They draw near to the pit,(AR)
and their life to the messengers of death.[c](AS)
23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,
a messenger,(AT) one out of a thousand,
sent to tell them how to be upright,(AU)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
‘Spare them from going down to the pit;(AV)
I have found a ransom for them(AW)—
25 let their flesh be renewed(AX) like a child’s;
let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(AY)—
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(AZ)
they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(BA)
he will restore them to full well-being.(BB)
27 And they will go to others and say,
‘I have sinned,(BC) I have perverted what is right,(BD)
but I did not get what I deserved.(BE)
28 God has delivered(BF) me from going down to the pit,(BG)
and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’(BH)
