约伯记 39
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以動物的生態質問約伯
39 “山巖間的野山羊的產期你能曉得嗎?
母鹿下犢之期你能察出嗎?
2 牠們懷胎的月數你能計算嗎?
牠們生產的日期你能曉得嗎?
3 牠們屈身,把子產下,
就除掉生產的疼痛。
4 幼雛漸漸健壯,在荒野長大,
牠們一離群出去,就不再返回。
5 誰放野驢自由出去呢?
誰解開快驢的繩索呢?
6 我使原野作牠的家,
使鹹地作牠的居所。
7 牠嗤笑城裡的喧嘩,
不聽趕野驢的呼喝聲;
8 牠探索群山作牠的草場,
尋覓各樣青綠的東西。
9 野牛怎肯作你的僕人,
或在你的槽旁過夜呢?
10 你怎能用套繩把野牛繫在犁溝呢?
牠怎肯跟著你耙山谷之地呢?
11 你怎能因牠的力大就倚賴牠?
怎能把你所作的交給牠作呢?
12 怎能信任牠能把你的糧食運回來;
又收聚你禾場上的穀粒呢?
13 鴕鳥的翅膀欣然鼓動,
但牠的翎毛和羽毛哪有慈愛呢?
14 牠把蛋都留在地上,
使它們在土裡得溫暖,
15 牠卻忘記了人的腳可以把蛋踩碎,
野地的走獸會把蛋踐踏。
16 牠苛待幼雛,看牠們好像不是自己生的,
就算牠的勞苦白費了,也漠不關心,
17 因為 神使牠忘記了智慧,
也沒有把聰明分給牠。
18 牠挺身鼓翼奔跑的時候,
就譏笑馬和騎馬的人。
19 馬的大力是你所賜的嗎?
牠頸上的鬃毛是你披上的嗎?
20 是你使牠跳躍像蝗蟲嗎?
牠噴氣之威使人驚惶。
21 牠在谷中扒地,以己力為樂,
牠出去迎戰手持武器的人。
22 牠譏笑可怕的事,並不驚慌,
也不在刀劍的面前退縮。
23 箭袋、閃爍的矛與槍,
都在牠的身上錚錚有聲。
24 牠震抖激動,馳騁大地,
一聽見角聲,就不能站定。
25 角聲一響,牠就說‘呵哈’,
牠從遠處聞到戰爭的氣味,
又聽見軍長的雷聲和戰爭的吶喊。
26 鷹鳥飛翔,展翅南飛,
是因著你的聰明嗎?
27 大鷹上騰,在高處築巢,
是聽你的吩咐嗎?
28 牠住在山巖之上,
棲息在巖崖與堅固所在之上,
29 從那裡窺看獵物,
牠們的眼睛可以從遠處觀望。
30 牠的幼雛也都吮血;
被殺的人在哪裡,鷹也在哪裡。”
约伯记 39
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
39 “你知道野山羊何时生产吗?
你看过母鹿产仔吗?
2 你能算出它们怀胎的月数吗?
你知道它们分娩的日期吗?
3 它们几时屈身产仔,
结束分娩之痛?
4 幼仔健壮,在荒野长大,
离群而去,不再回来。
5 “谁让野驴逍遥自在?
谁解开了它的缰绳?
6 我使它以旷野为家,
以盐地作居所。
7 它嗤笑城邑的喧闹,
不听赶牲口的吆喝。
8 它以群山作草场,
寻找青翠之物。
9 “野牛岂肯为你效劳,
在你的槽旁过夜?
10 你岂能用缰绳把野牛牵到犁沟?
它岂肯跟着你在山谷耕地?
11 你岂能倚靠它的大力,
把你的重活交给它?
12 岂能靠它运回粮食,
替你堆聚到麦场?
13 “鸵鸟欢然拍动翅膀,
它岂有白鹳的翎羽?
14 它将蛋产在地上,
使蛋得到沙土的温暖,
15 却不知蛋会被踩碎,
或遭野兽践踏。
16 它苛待雏鸟,好像它们并非己出,
就算徒劳一场,它也不怕。
17 因为上帝未赐它智慧,
没有给它悟性。
18 然而,一旦它展翅奔跑,
必嗤笑马儿和骑士。
19 “马的力量岂是你赐的?
它颈上的鬃毛岂是你披的?
20 岂是你使它跳跃如蝗虫,
发出令人胆寒的长嘶?
21 它在谷中刨地,
炫耀力量,奋力冲向敌军。
22 它嘲笑恐惧,毫不害怕,
不因刀剑而退缩。
23 它背上的箭袋铮铮作响,
长矛和投枪闪闪发光。
24 角声一响,它便无法静立,
狂烈地颤抖,急于驰骋大地。
25 听到角声,它就发出长嘶,
它老远便嗅到战争的气味,
并听见吶喊和将领的号令。
26 “鹰隼展翅翱翔,飞往南方,
岂是靠你的智慧?
27 秃鹰腾飞,在高处搭窝,
岂是奉你的命令?
28 它居住在悬崖上,
盘踞在山岩峭壁,
29 它从那里搜寻猎物,
它的目光直达远方。
30 它的幼雏噬血,
哪里有尸体,它就在哪里。”
Job 39
New International Version
39 “Do you know when the mountain goats(A) give birth?
Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?(B)
2 Do you count the months till they bear?
Do you know the time they give birth?(C)
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;
their labor pains are ended.
4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;
they leave and do not return.
5 “Who let the wild donkey(D) go free?
Who untied its ropes?
6 I gave it the wasteland(E) as its home,
the salt flats(F) as its habitat.(G)
7 It laughs(H) at the commotion in the town;
it does not hear a driver’s shout.(I)
8 It ranges the hills(J) for its pasture
and searches for any green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox(K) consent to serve you?(L)
Will it stay by your manger(M) at night?
10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?(N)
Will it till the valleys behind you?
11 Will you rely on it for its great strength?(O)
Will you leave your heavy work to it?
12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain
and bring it to your threshing floor?
13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
though they cannot compare
with the wings and feathers of the stork.(P)
14 She lays her eggs on the ground
and lets them warm in the sand,
15 unmindful that a foot may crush them,
that some wild animal may trample them.(Q)
16 She treats her young harshly,(R) as if they were not hers;
she cares not that her labor was in vain,
17 for God did not endow her with wisdom
or give her a share of good sense.(S)
18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run,
she laughs(T) at horse and rider.
19 “Do you give the horse its strength(U)
or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Do you make it leap like a locust,(V)
striking terror(W) with its proud snorting?(X)
21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,(Y)
and charges into the fray.(Z)
22 It laughs(AA) at fear, afraid of nothing;
it does not shy away from the sword.
23 The quiver(AB) rattles against its side,
along with the flashing spear(AC) and lance.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.(AD)
25 At the blast of the trumpet(AE) it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.(AF)
26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom
and spread its wings toward the south?(AG)
27 Does the eagle soar at your command
and build its nest on high?(AH)
28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;
a rocky crag(AI) is its stronghold.
29 From there it looks for food;(AJ)
its eyes detect it from afar.
30 Its young ones feast on blood,
and where the slain are, there it is.”(AK)
Job 39
New King James Version
God Continues to Challenge Job
39 “Do you know the time when the wild (A)mountain goats bear young?
Or can you mark when (B)the deer gives birth?
2 Can you number the months that they fulfill?
Or do you know the time when they bear young?
3 They bow down,
They bring forth their young,
They deliver their [a]offspring.
4 Their young ones are healthy,
They grow strong with grain;
They depart and do not return to them.
5 “Who set the wild donkey free?
Who loosed the bonds of the [b]onager,
6 (C)Whose home I have made the wilderness,
And the [c]barren land his dwelling?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city;
He does not heed the shouts of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searches after (D)every green thing.
9 “Will the (E)wild ox be willing to serve you?
Will he bed by your manger?
10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes?
Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
11 Will you trust him because his strength is great?
Or will you leave your labor to him?
12 Will you trust him to bring home your [d]grain,
And gather it to your threshing floor?
13 “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,
But are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork’s?
14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground,
And warms them in the dust;
15 She forgets that a foot may crush them,
Or that a wild beast may break them.
16 She (F)treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers;
Her labor is in vain, without [e]concern,
17 Because God deprived her of wisdom,
And did not (G)endow her with understanding.
18 When she lifts herself on high,
She scorns the horse and its rider.
19 “Have you given the horse strength?
Have you clothed his neck with [f]thunder?
20 Can you [g]frighten him like a locust?
His majestic snorting strikes terror.
21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
(H)He gallops into the clash of arms.
22 He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;
Nor does he turn back from the sword.
23 The quiver rattles against him,
The glittering spear and javelin.
24 He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;
Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle from afar,
The thunder of captains and shouting.
26 “Does the hawk fly by your wisdom,
And spread its wings toward the south?
27 Does the (I)eagle mount up at your command,
And (J)make its nest on high?
28 On the rock it dwells and resides,
On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.
29 From there it spies out the prey;
Its eyes observe from afar.
30 Its young ones suck up blood;
And (K)where the slain are, there it is.”
