约伯记 11
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
瑣法首次發言指責約伯自義
11 拿瑪人瑣法回答說：
2 “這許多的話怎可不回答，
多嘴多舌的人怎能算為義呢？
3 你胡言亂語可使人不作聲嗎？
你嘲笑的時候，無人責備嗎？
4 你說：‘我的道理純全，
我在你眼前潔淨。’
5 但願 神說話，
願他開口跟你說話，
6 把智慧的奧祕向你顯明，
因為真的智慧有兩面。
你當知道 神已忘記了你一部分的罪孽。
神洞悉人的罪
7 神高深莫測之事你怎能查出呢？
全能者的終極你怎能洞悉呢？
8 他的智慧高於諸天，你能作甚麼呢？
比陰間還深，你怎能識透？
9 他的智慧比地長，比海寬。
10 他若過來把人囚禁，
召人受審，誰能阻止他呢？
11 因為他認識虛謊的人，
他看見欺詐，怎能不鑒察？
12 虛妄的人悟出慧心，
就像野驢生子為人。
勸約伯悔改離罪
13 你若心裡歸向他，
又向他伸手禱告；
14 你若遠遠地除掉你手裡的欺詐，
不讓不義居在你的帳棚裡；
15 那麼你必仰面，毫無愧色；
你也必堅定穩妥，無所懼怕。
16 你必忘記你的苦楚，
回憶好像逝去的流水，
17 你們的人生必明亮如正午，
雖然黑暗仍像早晨。
18 因為有指望，你必安穩，
你必四處巡查，安然睡覺。
19 你躺臥，不受驚嚇，
必有很多人求你的情面。
20 但惡人的眼目必昏花，
逃亡之路也必斷絕，
他們的指望就是最後的一口氣。”
Job 11
New Catholic Bible
Zophar’s First Speech[a]
Chapter 11
God Recognizes the Deceitful. 1 Then Zophar the Naamathite responded:
2 “Should we allow this torrent of words to go unanswered?
Is a clever speaker always to be considered right?
3 Should your endless talk reduce others to silence?
When you mock, is no one allowed to refute you?
4 For you said, ‘My judgments are irrefutable
and I am blameless in the sight of God.’
5 Oh, how I wish that God would speak
and open his lips to contradict your opinions
6 while revealing to you the secrets of wisdom,
which puts human intelligence to shame.
Thus, you might know
that God will call you to account for your sin.
7 “Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
Can you attain to the perfection of the Almighty?
8 It is higher than the heavens—what can you do?
It is deeper than the netherworld—what can you know?
9 Its measure is longer than the earth
and broader than the sea.
10 “If while passing by he decides to imprison you
or subject you to judgment, who can prevent him?
11 He surely recognizes the deceitful;
he will hardly ignore their iniquity.
12 An ignorant fool can no more gain understanding
than a wild donkey can be domesticated.
Stretch Out Your Hands toward God[b]
13 “However, if you will have a change of heart
and stretch out your hands toward him in prayer,
14 if you banish all iniquity far away from you
and do not allow wickedness to penetrate your tent,
15 you will then be able to lift up your face in innocence;
you will be unwavering and without fear.
16 You will then forget your wretchedness,
remembering it only as flood waters gone by.
17 “Then your life will be brighter than noonday,
and its darkness will be like morning.
18 You will be filled with confidence because there is hope;
you will look around and take your rest in safety.
19 You will lie down without fearing anyone,
and many will seek your favor.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail;
for them all the ways of escape will be closed,
and all they can hope for is death.”
