約伯記 40
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
40 耶和華又對約伯說：
2 「強辯者豈可與全能者爭論？
與上帝辯駁的人請作出答覆。」
3 約伯回答耶和華說：
4 「我這樣卑微，怎能答覆你？
我只有用手掩口。
5 我說了一次，不能答覆；
說了兩次，不敢再說。」
6 耶和華從旋風中對約伯說：
7 「你要像勇士一樣束腰備戰，
我來提問，你來回答。
8 你要推翻我的公義，
歸罪於我而自以為義嗎？
9 你有上帝那樣的臂膀嗎？
你能像祂那樣發出雷鳴嗎？
10 請展示你的榮耀和光輝，
披上你的尊榮和威嚴；
11 發洩你滿腔的怒火，
鑒察驕傲者，貶抑他；
12 鑒察驕傲者，制伏他，
將惡人原地踐踏；
13 將他們一起埋進塵土，
藏入幽冥。
14 這樣，我就承認你的右手能拯救自己。
15 「你看河馬，
牠和你都是我造的，
牠像牛一樣吃草。
16 你看牠腰間的氣力，
牠腹部肌肉的力量。
17 牠尾巴挺直如香柏樹，
大腿的筋緊密相連，
18 骨頭如銅管，
四肢像鐵棍。
19 牠是上帝創造的傑作，
創造主賜給牠利刃[a]。
20 群山供應牠食物，
百獸在那裡玩耍。
21 牠躺在蓮葉之下，
藏在泥沼的蘆葦間，
22 蓮葉為牠遮蔭，
溪畔的柳樹環繞牠。
23 河水氾濫，牠不驚懼；
約旦河漲到牠口邊，牠也無憂。
24 誰能在牠警覺時捕捉牠，
或用鉤子穿透牠的鼻子？

Job Places His Hand over His Mouth
40 Then Yahweh answered Job and said,
3 Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
4 “Behold, I am insignificant; what can I respond to You?
I (C)place my hand over my mouth.
5 Once I have spoken, and (D)I will not answer;
Even twice, and I will add nothing more.”
Yahweh Will Ask Job
6 Then (E)Yahweh answered Job out of the [a]whirlwind and said,
7 “Now (F)gird up your loins like a man;
I will (G)ask you, and you make Me know.
8 Will you really (H)annul My judgment?
Will you (I)condemn Me (J)that you may be justified?
9 Or do you have an arm like God,
And can you (K)thunder with a voice like His?
10 “(L)Adorn yourself with exaltation and loftiness,
And clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
11 Pour out (M)the overflowings of your anger,
And look on everyone who is (N)proud, and make him low.
12 Look on everyone who is proud, and (O)humble him,
And (P)tread down the wicked [b]in their place.
13 (Q)Hide them in the dust together;
Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14 Then I will also praise you,
That your own right hand can save you.
Behold the Behemoth
15 “Behold now, [c]Behemoth, which (R)I made along with you;
It eats grass like an ox.
16 Behold now, its power in its loins
And its vigor in the muscles of its belly.
17 It hangs its tail like a cedar;
The sinews of its thighs are knit together.
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze;
Its [d]limbs are like bars of iron.
19 “It is the (S)first of the ways of God;
Let its (T)Maker bring near its sword.
20 Surely the mountains (U)bring it food,
And all the beasts of the field (V)play there.
21 Under the lotus plants it lies down,
In the hidden place of the reeds and the marsh.
22 The lotus plants cover it with [e]shade;
The willows of the brook surround it.
23 If a river oppresses, it is not alarmed;
It is secure, though the (W)Jordan bursts forth to its mouth.
24 Can anyone capture it before its eyes,
With snares can anyone pierce its nose?
Job 40
King James Version
40 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,
2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
