约伯记 22
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以利法第三次发言
22 提幔人以利法回答说：
2 “人对 神能有甚么益处呢？
明智的人只能益己。
3 你为人公义可讨全能者喜悦吗？
你行为完全可有利于他呢？
4 他是因你敬畏他而责备你，
对你施行审判吗？
5 你的罪恶不是很大吗？
你的罪孽不是没有穷尽吗？
6 你无缘无故强取兄弟的东西作当头，
剥去衣不蔽体的人的衣服。
7 疲乏的人你没有给他水喝，
饥饿的人你没有给他饭吃。
8 有势力的人就有土地，
尊贵的人住在其中。
9 你叫寡妇空手而去，你折断孤儿的膀臂。
10 因此有网罗环绕着你，
恐惧也忽然使你惊慌。
11 光明变成黑暗，以致你看不见，
并且洪水淹没你。
12 神不是高于诸天吗？
你看看最高的星星，多么的高啊！
13 你说：‘ 神知道甚么？
他能透过幽暗施行审判吗？
14 密云把他遮盖，使他不能看见我们；
他在天上的圆圈上面走来走去。’
15 你要谨守古往的道，
就是恶人所行走的吗？
16 他们未到时候，就被抓去，
他们的根基被洪水冲去。
17 他们对 神说：‘离开我们吧！
全能者能把我们怎么样呢？’
18 他用美物充满他们的房屋，
恶人的谋算远离我。
19 义人看见了，就欢喜；
无辜的人嘲笑他们，说：
20 ‘我们的对头必被剪除，
他们剥下来的有火吞灭了。’
劝约伯悔改，远离不义
21 你与 神和好，就可以得平安，
这样，福乐就必临到你。
22 你该从他口中领受训诲，
把他的话放在心里。
23 你若归向全能者，就必得建立；
你若使不义远离你的帐棚，
24 把你的金块丢在尘土中，
把俄斐的金块丢在河流的石头间，
25 全能者就必作你的金块，
作你的银堆，
26 你就必以全能者为乐，
向 神仰起脸来。
27 你向他祈求，他就垂听你，
你也要还你的愿。
28 你决定的计划，他必为你成全，
光明必照在你的路上。
29 人谦卑的时候，你就说：‘升高吧！’
眼中谦卑的他必拯救，
30 并非无辜的人， 神尚且搭救他；
他要因你手中的洁净得救拔。”
Job 22
GOD’S WORD Translation
Eliphaz Speaks: Admit You Are Wicked, Job
22 Then Eliphaz from Teman replied ⌞to Job⌟,
2 “Can a human be of any use to God
when even a wise person is only useful to himself?
3 Is the Almighty pleased when you are righteous?
Does he gain anything when you follow the path of integrity?
4 Does God correct you
and bring you into a court of law because you fear him?
5 “Aren’t you really very wicked?
Is there no end to your wrongdoing?
6 For no reason you take your brothers’ goods as security for a loan
and strip them of their clothes.[a]
7 You don’t even give a tired person a drink of water,
and you take food away from hungry people.
8 A strong person owns the land.
A privileged person lives in it.
9 You send widows away empty-handed,
and the arms of orphans are broken.
10 That is why traps are all around you
and great fear suddenly grips you.
11 ⌞That is why⌟ darkness surrounds you and you cannot see
and a flood of water covers you.
12 “Isn’t God high above in the heavens?
Look how high the highest stars are!
13 You ask, ‘What does God know?
Can he judge ⌞anything⌟ from behind a dark cloud?
14 Thick clouds surround him so that he cannot see.
He walks above the clouds.’
15 “Are you following the old path that wicked people have taken?
16 They are snatched up before their time.
A river washes their foundation away.
17 They told God, ‘Leave us alone!
What can the Almighty do for us?’
18 Yet, he filled their homes with good things.
(The plan of the wicked is foreign to my way of thinking.)
19 The righteous saw it and were glad,
and the innocent made fun of them by saying,
20 ‘Indeed, their wealth has been wiped out,
and a fire has burned up what ⌞little⌟ they had left.’
Make Peace with God
21 “Be in harmony and at peace with God.
In this way you will have prosperity.
22 Accept instruction from his mouth,
and keep his words in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will prosper.
If you put wrongdoing out of your tent,
24 and lay your gold down in the dust,
and put your gold from Ophir among the pebbles in the rivers,
25 then the Almighty will become your gold
and your large supply of silver.
26 Then you will be happy with the Almighty
and look up toward God.
27 You will pray to him, and he will listen to you,
and you will keep your vow to him.
28 When you promise to do something, you will succeed,
and light will shine on your path.
29 When others are discouraged, you will say, ‘Cheer up!’
Then he will save the humble person.[b]
30 He will rescue one who is not innocent.
That person will be rescued by your purity.”
