約伯記 33
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
欲以誠實折服約伯
33 「約伯啊，請聽我的話，留心聽我一切的言語。 2 我現在開口，用舌發言。 3 我的言語要發明心中所存的正直，我所知道的，我嘴唇要誠實地說出。 4 神的靈造我，全能者的氣使我得生。 5 你若回答我，就站起來，在我面前陳明。 6 我在神面前與你一樣，也是用土造成。 7 我不用威嚴驚嚇你，也不用勢力重壓你。
8 「你所說的我聽見了，也聽見你的言語說： 9 『我是清潔無過的，我是無辜的，在我裡面也沒有罪孽。 10 神找機會攻擊我，以我為仇敵， 11 把我的腳上了木狗，窺察我一切的道路。』 12 我要回答你說，你這話無理，因神比世人更大。
13 「你為何與他爭論呢？因他的事都不對人解說。 14 神說一次兩次，世人卻不理會。 15 人躺在床上沉睡的時候，神就用夢和夜間的異象， 16 開通他們的耳朵，將當受的教訓印在他們心上， 17 好叫人不從自己的謀算，不行驕傲的事[a]， 18 攔阻人不陷於坑裡，不死在刀下。
神懲人以苦乃為救其生命
19 「人在床上被懲治，骨頭中不住地疼痛， 20 以致他的口厭棄食物，心厭惡美味。 21 他的肉消瘦，不得再見，先前不見的骨頭都凸出來。 22 他的靈魂臨近深坑，他的生命近於滅命的。
23 「一千天使中，若有一個做傳話的與神同在，指示人所當行的事， 24 神就給他開恩，說：『救贖他免得下坑，我已經得了贖價。』 25 他的肉要比孩童的肉更嫩，他就返老還童。 26 他禱告神，神就喜悅他，使他歡呼朝見神的面，神又看他為義。 27 他在人前歌唱說：『我犯了罪，顛倒是非，這竟與我無益。 28 神救贖我的靈魂免入深坑，我的生命也必見光。』
29 「神兩次三次向人行這一切的事， 30 為要從深坑救回人的靈魂，使他被光照耀與活人一樣。 31 約伯啊，你當側耳聽我的話，不要作聲，等我講說。 32 你若有話說，就可以回答我；你只管說，因我願以你為是。 33 若不然，你就聽我說，你不要作聲，我便將智慧教訓你。」

Job 33
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Elihu Rebukes Job
33 “But now, hear my speech, O Job,
and listen to all my words.
2 See, I open my mouth;
the tongue in my mouth speaks.
3 My words declare the uprightness of my heart,
and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
4 The spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty[a] gives me life.
5 Answer me, if you can;
set your words in order before me; take your stand.
6 See, before God I am as you are;
I too was formed from a piece of clay.
7 No fear of me need terrify you;
my pressure will not be heavy on you.
8 “Surely, you have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard the sound of your words.
9 You say, ‘I am clean, without transgression;
I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me.
10 Look, he finds occasions against me,
he counts me as his enemy;
11 he puts my feet in the stocks,
and watches all my paths.’
12 “But in this you are not right. I will answer you:
God is greater than any mortal.
13 Why do you contend against him,
saying, ‘He will answer none of my[b] words’?
14 For God speaks in one way,
and in two, though people do not perceive it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on mortals,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he opens their ears,
and terrifies them with warnings,
17 that he may turn them aside from their deeds,
and keep them from pride,
18 to spare their souls from the Pit,
their lives from traversing the River.
19 They are also chastened with pain upon their beds,
and with continual strife in their bones,
20 so that their lives loathe bread,
and their appetites dainty food.
21 Their flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen;
and their bones, once invisible, now stick out.
22 Their souls draw near the Pit,
and their lives to those who bring death.
23 Then, if there should be for one of them an angel,
a mediator, one of a thousand,
one who declares a person upright,
24 and he is gracious to that person, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the Pit;
I have found a ransom;
25 let his flesh become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then he prays to God, and is accepted by him,
he comes into his presence with joy,
and God[c] repays him for his righteousness.
27 That person sings to others and says,
‘I sinned, and perverted what was right,
and it was not paid back to me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
and my life shall see the light.’
29 “God indeed does all these things,
twice, three times, with mortals,
30 to bring back their souls from the Pit,
so that they may see the light of life.[d]
31 Pay heed, Job, listen to me;
be silent, and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me;
speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, listen to me;
be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
