约伯记 33
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
欲以诚实折服约伯
33 “可是，约伯啊，请听我的言语，
留心听我的一切话。
2 我现在开口，
用舌头发言；
3 我的话表明我心中的正直，
我所知道的，我的嘴唇就诚诚实实地说出来。
4 神的灵创造了我，
全能者的气使我存活。
5 你若能够办得到，就回答我，
用话语攻击我，
表明立场，当面攻击我。
6 在 神面前我与你一样，
也是用土捏造的。
7 我的威严必不惊吓你，
我的压力也不加重在你身上。
8 你所说的，我已经听见了，也听到你言语的声音，说：
9 ‘我是洁净的，毫无过犯；
我是清白的，没有罪孽。
10 神找机会攻击我，
把我当作仇敌；
11 他把我的两脚上了木狗，
又鉴察我一切所行的。’
12 我要告诉你，你这话错了，
因为 神比世人大。
13 你为甚么对 神争辩，
说：‘无论世人的甚么话，他都不回答’呢？
14 原来 神用这个方法或那个方法说了，
只是，世人没有留意。
15 世人都在床上打盹，
沉睡临到他们的时候，
神用异梦与夜间的异象，
16 告诉他们，
他坚定他们所得的训诲，
17 好叫人离开自己的恶行，
又叫人与骄傲隔绝，
18 拦阻人的性命不下在坑里，
又阻止他的生命不死在刀下。
神教训人的方法
19 人在床上被痛苦惩治，
他的骨头不住地痛苦挣扎，
20 以致他的生命厌恶食物，
他的胃口也厌恶美食，
21 他的肌肉消瘦以致看不见，
以前看不见的骨头，现在都凸出来。
22 他的性命接近深坑，
他的生命靠近灭命的天使。
23 在一千位天使之中，
若有一位作人的中保，指示人当行的事，
24 恩待他，说：
‘救赎他免下深坑；
我已经得到了赎价。’
25 他的肌肉就比孩童的更嫩，
他更恢复满有青春活力的日子。
26 他向 神祈求， 神就喜悦他，
他也欢呼着朝见 神的面，
人又恢复自己的义。
27 他在人面前歌唱，说：
‘我犯了罪，颠倒是非，
但我没有受到应得的报应。
28 他救赎我的性命免入深坑，
我的生命必得见光明。’
29 神总是三番四次，
向人行这一切事，
30 要把人的性命从深坑里救回来，
好使活人之光光照他。
31 约伯啊，你当留心听我，
当默不作声，我要说话。
32 你若有话说，就请回答我；
你只管说吧，因为我愿意以你为义。
33 你若没有话说，就要听我说，
你当默不作声，我就把智慧教导你。”
Job 33
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Elihu Confronts Job
33 But now, Job, pay attention to my speech,
and listen to all my words.
2 I am going to open my mouth;
my tongue will form words on my palate.
3 My words come from my upright(A) heart,
and my lips speak with sincerity what they know.
4 The Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty(B) gives me life.(C)
5 Refute me if you can.
Prepare(D) your case against me; take your stand.(E)
6 I am just like you before God;
I was also pinched off from a piece of clay.(F)
7 Fear(G) of me should not terrify you;
the pressure I exert[a] against you will be light.
8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard these very[b] words:
9 “I am pure, without transgression;
I am clean and have no guilt.(H)
10 But He finds reasons to oppose me;
He regards me as His enemy.(I)
11 He puts my feet in the stocks;
He stands watch(J) over all my paths.”
12 But I tell you that you are wrong in this matter,
since God is greater than man.(K)
13 Why do you take(L) Him to court
for not answering anything a person asks?[c]
14 For God speaks time and again,
but a person may not notice it.
15 In a dream, a vision(M) in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people(N)
as they slumber on their beds,
16 He uncovers their ears(O) at that time
and terrifies them[d] with warnings,
17 in order to turn a person from his actions
and suppress his pride.[e]
18 God spares his soul from the Pit,(P)
his life from crossing the river of death.[f]
19 A person may be disciplined on his bed(Q) with pain
and constant distress in his bones,(R)
20 so that he detests bread,
and his soul despises his favorite food.(S)
21 His flesh wastes away to nothing,[g]
and his unseen bones stick out.
22 He draws near to the Pit,
and his life to the executioners.
23 If there is an angel(T) on his side,
one mediator out of a thousand,
to tell a person what is right for him[h]
24 and to be gracious to him and say,
“Spare him from going down to the Pit;
I have found a ransom,”(U)
25 then his flesh will be healthier[i] than in his youth,
and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.(V)
26 He will pray to God, and God will delight in him.
That man will see His face(W) with a shout of joy,
and God will restore his righteousness to him.(X)
27 He will look at men and say,
“I have sinned and perverted what was right;
yet I did not get what I deserved.[j]
28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
and I will continue to see the light.”
29 God certainly does all these things
two or three times to a man
30 in order to turn him back from the Pit,
so he may shine with the light of life.(Y)
31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me.
Be quiet, and I will speak.
32 But if you have something to say,[k] answer me;
speak, for I would like to justify you.
33 If not, then listen to me;
be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.
