约伯记 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约伯的回应
9 约伯回答说：
2 “不错，我知道你所言不虚，
但人怎能在上帝面前算为义人？
3 人若想与祂辩驳，
千次也不能胜一次。
4 祂充满智慧，能力无比，
谁能抗拒祂还可平安无恙？
5 祂可猝然挪动群山，
在怒气中把山翻倒。
6 祂震动大地，使其挪位，
以致地的支柱摇撼。
7 祂一声令下，
太阳便不再升起，
众星也不再发光。
8 祂独自铺展穹苍，
步行在海浪之上。
9 祂创造了北斗星、参星、昴星及南天的星座。
10 祂行的奇事不可测度，
奇迹不可胜数。
11 祂经过我身旁，我却看不见；
祂从旁边掠过，我也无法察觉。
12 祂若夺取，谁能阻挡？
谁敢问祂，‘你做什么？’
13 上帝不会忍怒不发，
海怪[a]的帮手必屈膝在祂脚前。
14 “因此，我怎敢与祂辩驳？
怎敢措辞与祂理论？
15 我纵然无辜，也无法申诉，
只能乞求我的审判者施恩。
16 即使我呼唤祂的时候，祂回应我，
我仍不相信祂会垂听我的声音。
17 祂用暴风摧毁我，
无故地使我饱受创伤。
18 祂不肯让我喘息，
祂使我尝尽苦头。
19 若论力量，祂甚强大；
若上公堂，谁敢传祂？
20 即使我清白无辜，我的口也会认罪；
即使我纯全无过，祂也会判我有罪。
21 我虽纯全无过，也已毫不在乎，
我厌恶我的生命。
22 因为，我认为都是一样，
纯全无过的人和恶人都会被祂毁灭。
23 灾祸突然夺走人命时，
祂嘲笑无辜者的遭遇。
24 大地落入恶人手中，
蒙敝审判官眼睛的不是祂是谁？

Job Replies There Is No Adjudicator
9 Then Job answered and said,
2 “In truth I know that this is so;
But how can a (A)man be in the right [a]before God?
3 If one desired to (B)contend with Him,
He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.
4 (C)Wise in heart and (D)mighty in power,
Who has (E)stiffened his neck against Him and been at peace?
5 (F)God is the One who removes the mountains, they know not how,
When He overturns them in His anger;
6 The One who (G)shakes the earth out of its place,
And its (H)pillars tremble;
7 The One who says for the (I)sun [b]not to shine,
And sets a seal upon the stars;
8 Who alone (J)stretches out the heavens,
And [c](K)tramples down the waves of the sea;
9 Who makes the (L)Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the (M)chambers of the south;
10 Who (N)does great things, unsearchable,
And wondrous works, innumerable.
11 Were He to sweep by me, (O)I would not see Him;
Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him.
12 Were He to snatch away, who could (P)turn Him back?
Who could say to Him, ‘(Q)What are You doing?’
13 “God will not turn back His anger;
Beneath Him crouch the helpers of (R)Rahab.
14 How then can (S)I [d]answer Him,
And choose my words [e]before Him?
15 For (T)though I were right, I could not [f]answer;
I would have to (U)plead for the grace of my judge.
16 If I called and He answered me,
I could not believe that He was giving ear to my voice.
17 For He (V)bruises me with a tempest
And multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 He will (W)not allow me to get my breath,
But saturates me with (X)bitterness.
19 If it is a matter of power, (Y)behold, He is the mighty one!
And if it is a matter of justice, who can make [g]Him testify?
20 (Z)Though I am righteous, my mouth will (AA)condemn me;
Though I am blameless, He will declare me perverse.
21 I am (AB)blameless;
I do not know my soul;
I (AC)reject my life.
22 It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He (AD)consumes the blameless and the wicked.’
23 If the scourge puts to death suddenly,
He (AE)mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 The earth (AF)is given into the hand of the wicked;
He (AG)covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, then who is it?
25 “Now (AH)my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away; (AI)they do not see good.
26 They sweep by like (AJ)reed boats,
Like an (AK)eagle that swoops on its food.
27 Though I say, ‘I will forget (AL)my musing,
I will forsake my sad countenance and be cheerful,’
28 I am (AM)afraid of all my pains;
I know that (AN)You will not acquit me.
29 I am accounted (AO)wicked;
Why then should I toil in vain?
30 If I should (AP)wash myself with snow
And cleanse (AQ)my hands with lye,
31 Yet You would plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes would abhor me.
32 For (AR)He is not a man as I am that (AS)I may answer Him,
That we may go to court for judgment together.
33 There is no (AT)adjudicator between us,
Who may lay his hand upon us both.
34 Let Him (AU)remove His rod from me,
And let not dread of Him terrify me.
35 Then I (AV)would speak and not fear Him;
But I am not like that in myself.
