Job 39
Complete Jewish Bible
39 “Do you know when mountain goats give birth?
Have you seen deer in labor?
2 Can you tell how many months they carry their young?
Do you know when they give birth,
3 when they crouch down and bring forth their young,
when they deliver their fawns?
4 Their young become strong, growing up in the open;
they leave and never return.
5 “Who lets the wild donkey roam freely?
Who sets the wild donkey loose from its shackles?
6 I made the ‘Aravah its home,
the salty desert its place to live.
7 It scorns the noise of the city
and hears no driver’s shouts.
8 It ranges over the hills for its pasture,
searching for anything green.
9 “Would a wild ox be willing to serve you?
Would it stay by your stall?
10 Could you tie a rope around its neck
and make it plow furrows for you?
11 Would you trust its great strength enough
to let it do your heavy work,
12 or rely on it to bring home your seed
and gather the grain from your threshing-floor?
13 “An ostrich’s wings beat wildly,
although its pinions lack plumage.
14 It leaves its eggs on the ground
and lets them be warmed by the sand,
15 forgetting that a foot may crush them
or a wild animal trample on them.
16 It treats its chicks heartlessly,
as if they were not its own;
even if her labor is in vain,
it really doesn’t care;
17 because God has deprived it of wisdom
and given it no share in understanding.
18 When the time comes, it flaps its wings,
scorning both horse and rider.
19 “Did you give the horse its strength?
Did you clothe its neck with a mane?
20 Did you make him able to leap like a locust?
Its majestic snorting is frightening!
21 It paws with force and exults with vigor,
then charges into the battle;
22 mocking at fear, unafraid,
it does not shy away from the sword.
23 The [rider’s] quiver rattles over it,
[his] gleaming spear and javelin.
24 Frenzied and eager, it devours the ground,
scarcely believing the shofar has sounded.
25 At the sound of the shofar it whinnies;
as from afar it scents the battle,
the roar of the chiefs and the shouting.
26 “Is it your wisdom that sets the hawk soaring,
spreading its wings toward the south?
27 Does the eagle fly up when you say so,
to build its nest in the heights?
28 It lives and spends its nights on the cliffs;
a rocky crag is its fortress.
29 From there it spots its prey,
its eyes see it far off.
30 Its young ones suck up blood;
wherever the slain are, there it is.”

以动物的生态质问约伯
39 “山岩间的野山羊的产期你能晓得吗？
母鹿下犊之期你能察出吗？
2 牠们怀胎的月数你能计算吗？
牠们生产的日期你能晓得吗？
3 牠们屈身，把子产下，
就除掉生产的疼痛。
4 幼雏渐渐健壮，在荒野长大，
牠们一离群出去，就不再返回。
5 谁放野驴自由出去呢？
谁解开快驴的绳索呢？
6 我使原野作牠的家，
使咸地作牠的居所。
7 牠嗤笑城里的喧哗，
不听赶野驴的呼喝声；
8 牠探索群山作牠的草场，
寻觅各样青绿的东西。
9 野牛怎肯作你的仆人，
或在你的槽旁过夜呢？
10 你怎能用套绳把野牛系在犁沟呢？
牠怎肯跟着你耙山谷之地呢？
11 你怎能因牠的力大就倚赖牠？
怎能把你所作的交给牠作呢？
12 怎能信任牠能把你的粮食运回来；
又收聚你禾场上的谷粒呢？
13 鸵鸟的翅膀欣然鼓动，
但牠的翎毛和羽毛哪有慈爱呢？
14 牠把蛋都留在地上，
使它们在土里得温暖，
15 牠却忘记了人的脚可以把蛋踩碎，
野地的走兽会把蛋践踏。
16 牠苛待幼雏，看牠们好象不是自己生的，
就算牠的劳苦白费了，也漠不关心，
17 因为 神使牠忘记了智慧，
也没有把聪明分给牠。
18 牠挺身鼓翼奔跑的时候，
就讥笑马和骑马的人。
19 马的大力是你所赐的吗？
牠颈上的鬃毛是你披上的吗？
20 是你使牠跳跃像蝗虫吗？
牠喷气之威使人惊惶。
21 牠在谷中扒地，以己力为乐，
牠出去迎战手持武器的人。
22 牠讥笑可怕的事，并不惊慌，
也不在刀剑的面前退缩。
23 箭袋、闪烁的矛与枪，
都在牠的身上铮铮有声。
24 牠震抖激动，驰骋大地，
一听见角声，就不能站定。
25 角声一响，牠就说‘呵哈’，
牠从远处闻到战争的气味，
又听见军长的雷声和战争的吶喊。
26 鹰鸟飞翔，展翅南飞，
是因着你的聪明吗？
27 大鹰上腾，在高处筑巢，
是听你的吩咐吗？
28 牠住在山岩之上，
栖息在岩崖与坚固所在之上，
29 从那里窥看猎物，
牠们的眼睛可以从远处观望。
30 牠的幼雏也都吮血；
被杀的人在哪里，鹰也在哪里。”

39 Kennst du die Zeit, da die Steinböcke gebären, oder hast du beobachtet, wann die Hindinnen[a] kreißen?
2 Zählst du die Monate, die sie erfüllen müssen, und weißt du die Zeit ihres Gebärens?
3 Sie kauern sich nieder, werfen ihre Jungen und sind ihre Wehen los.
4 Ihre Jungen erstarken, wachsen im Freien auf, verlassen sie und kommen nicht mehr zurück.
5 Wer hat den Wildesel frei laufen lassen, und wer hat die Fesseln des Wildlings gelöst,
6 dem ich die Steppe zur Wohnung angewiesen habe, das salzige Land zum Aufenthalt?
7 Er lacht über den Lärm der Stadt, und das Geschrei des Treibers hört er nicht;
8 er ersieht sich die Berge zu seiner Weide und spürt allen grünen Kräutern nach.
9 Wird der Büffel willig sein, dir zu dienen? Bleibt er an deiner Krippe über Nacht?
10 Führst du den Büffel in der Furche an einem Strick, oder wird er hinter dir her die Talgründe eggen?
11 Vertraust du ihm wegen seiner großen Kraft, und überlässt du ihm deine Arbeit?
12 Rechnest du auf ihn, dass er deine Saat einbringt oder deine Tenne füllt?
13 Die Straußin schwingt fröhlich ihre Flügel; sind es aber treue Schwingen und Federn?
14 Denn sie überlässt ihre Eier der Erde und lässt sie im Sand ausbrüten.
15 Sie vergisst, dass ein Fuß sie zertreten und das Getier des Feldes sie zermalmen kann.
16 Sie ist hart gegen ihre Jungen, als gehörten sie ihr nicht; es macht ihr keinen Kummer, wenn sie sich umsonst abgemüht hat;
17 denn Gott ließ sie die Weisheit vergessen und hat ihr keinen Verstand zugeteilt.
18 Kommt aber die Zeit, da sie in die Höhe schnellt, so verlacht sie Ross und Reiter.
19 Hast du dem Ross Stärke verliehen und seinen Hals mit der Mähne umhüllt?
20 Bringst du es zum Springen wie eine Heuschrecke? Sein stolzes Schnauben klingt schrecklich!
21 Es scharrt den Boden, freut sich seiner Stärke; es zieht los, den Waffen entgegen;
22 es lacht über die Furcht, ist unverzagt und weicht vor dem Schwert nicht zurück;
23 über ihm klirrt der Köcher, die Klinge von Speer und Wurfspieß.
24 Mit wildem Lauf und Ungestüm verschlingt es den Boden[b] und bleibt nicht stehen, wenn das Schopharhorn ertönt;
25 sooft das Schopharhorn erklingt, ruft es: Hui! Von ferne wittert es die Schlacht, die Donnerstimme der Heerführer und das Kriegsgeschrei.
26 Bewirkt dein Verstand, dass der Habicht fliegt und seine Flügel nach Süden ausbreitet?
27 Schwingt sich auf dein Geheiß der Adler[c] empor und legt sein Nest in der Höhe an?
28 Er wohnt in Felsspalten und horstet dort, auf Felsenzacken und Bergesspitzen.
29 Von dort aus erspäht er sich Beute, seine Augen schweifen weit umher;
30 seine Jungen schlürfen Blut, und wo Erschlagene liegen, da ist er.
Job 39
King James Version
Job 39
King James Version
39 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
4 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without fear;
17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
29 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
Job 39
New International Version
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)
