約伯記 37
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
37 「因此我心戰慄，
在胸膛跳動。
2 請仔細聽祂發出的雷聲，
聽祂口中發出的轟鳴。
3 祂使閃電劃過整個天空，
亮光直照到地極。
4 隨後雷聲隆隆，
祂發出威嚴之聲。
祂一發聲，雷電交加。
5 上帝發出奇妙的雷聲，
我們無法測度祂偉大的作為。
6 祂命雪降在大地，
令雨傾盆倒下，
7 使人們停下工作，
以便世人都知道祂的作為。
8 野獸躲進窩裡，
留在洞中。
9 暴風從南天而來，
寒流由北方而至。
10 上帝噓氣成冰，
使寬闊的水面凝結。
11 祂使密雲佈滿水氣，
從雲端發出閃電。
12 雲隨祂的指令旋轉，
在地面之上完成祂的吩咐，
13 或為懲罰大地，
或為彰顯慈愛。
14 「約伯啊，請留心聽，
要駐足沉思上帝的奇妙作為。
15 你知道上帝如何發出命令，
使雲中電光閃爍嗎？
16 你知道全知者的奇妙作為——
祂如何使雲彩飄浮嗎？
17 南風吹來，大地沉寂時，
你就汗濕衣襟，你知道為何嗎？
18 你能像祂那樣鋪展堅如銅鏡的穹蒼嗎？
19 我們因愚昧而無法陳訴，
請指教我們如何與祂對話。
20 我怎敢與祂對話？
豈有人自取滅亡？
21 風吹散天空的雲後，
無人能仰視太陽的強光。
22 北方出現金色的光芒，
上帝充滿可怕的威嚴。
23 我們無法測度全能者，
祂充滿能力，無比正直公義，
不恃強凌弱。
24 所以，人們都敬畏祂，
祂不看顧自以為有智慧的人。」
Job 37

Elihu Speaks of God’s Voice
37 “At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.
2 [a]Listen closely to the (A)thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.
3 Under the whole heaven He lets it loose,
And His [b]lightning to the (B)ends of the earth.
4 After it, a voice roars;
He thunders with His majestic voice,
And He does not restrain [c]the lightnings when His voice is heard.
5 God (C)thunders with His voice marvelously,
Doing (D)great things which we do not know.
6 For to (E)the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
And to the (F)downpour of rain and the downpour of rains, ‘Be strong.’
7 He (G)seals the hand of every man,
That (H)all men may know His work.
8 Then the beast goes into its (I)lair
And dwells in its [d]den.
9 Out of the [e](J)south comes the storm,
And out of the [f]north the cold.
10 From the breath of God (K)ice is made,
And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
11 Also with moisture He (L)loads the thick cloud;
He (M)scatters (N)the cloud of His [g]lightning.
12 It changes direction, turning around by His guidance,
That [h]it may do whatever He (O)commands [i]it
On the (P)face of the inhabited earth.
13 Whether for [j](Q)correction, or for (R)His world,
Or for (S)lovingkindness, He causes it to [k]happen.
14 “Give ear to this, O Job,
Stand and carefully consider the wondrous deeds of God.
15 Do you know how God establishes them,
And makes the [l]lightning of His cloud to shine?
16 Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds,
The (T)wonders of one [m](U)perfect in knowledge,
17 You whose garments are hot,
When the land is quiet because of the south wind?
18 Can you, with Him, (V)spread out the skies,
Strong as a molten mirror?
19 Make us know what we shall say to Him;
We (W)cannot arrange our case because of darkness.
20 Shall it be recounted to Him that I would speak?
[n]If a man says a word, will He indeed be swallowed up?
21 “So now [o]men do not see the light which is bright in the skies;
But the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
Around God is fearsome majesty.
23 The Almighty—(X)we cannot find Him;
He is (Y)exalted in power
And (Z)He will not afflict (AA)justice and abundant righteousness.
24 Therefore men (AB)fear Him;
He does not (AC)regard any who are wise of heart.”
