约伯记 33
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
欲以诚实折服约伯
33 “约伯啊，请听我的话，留心听我一切的言语。 2 我现在开口，用舌发言。 3 我的言语要发明心中所存的正直，我所知道的，我嘴唇要诚实地说出。 4 神的灵造我，全能者的气使我得生。 5 你若回答我，就站起来，在我面前陈明。 6 我在神面前与你一样，也是用土造成。 7 我不用威严惊吓你，也不用势力重压你。
8 “你所说的我听见了，也听见你的言语说： 9 ‘我是清洁无过的，我是无辜的，在我里面也没有罪孽。 10 神找机会攻击我，以我为仇敌， 11 把我的脚上了木狗，窥察我一切的道路。’ 12 我要回答你说，你这话无理，因神比世人更大。
13 “你为何与他争论呢？因他的事都不对人解说。 14 神说一次两次，世人却不理会。 15 人躺在床上沉睡的时候，神就用梦和夜间的异象， 16 开通他们的耳朵，将当受的教训印在他们心上， 17 好叫人不从自己的谋算，不行骄傲的事[a]， 18 拦阻人不陷于坑里，不死在刀下。
神惩人以苦乃为救其生命
19 “人在床上被惩治，骨头中不住地疼痛， 20 以致他的口厌弃食物，心厌恶美味。 21 他的肉消瘦，不得再见，先前不见的骨头都凸出来。 22 他的灵魂临近深坑，他的生命近于灭命的。
23 “一千天使中，若有一个做传话的与神同在，指示人所当行的事， 24 神就给他开恩，说：‘救赎他免得下坑，我已经得了赎价。’ 25 他的肉要比孩童的肉更嫩，他就返老还童。 26 他祷告神，神就喜悦他，使他欢呼朝见神的面，神又看他为义。 27 他在人前歌唱说：‘我犯了罪，颠倒是非，这竟与我无益。 28 神救赎我的灵魂免入深坑，我的生命也必见光。’
29 “神两次三次向人行这一切的事， 30 为要从深坑救回人的灵魂，使他被光照耀与活人一样。 31 约伯啊，你当侧耳听我的话，不要作声，等我讲说。 32 你若有话说，就可以回答我；你只管说，因我愿以你为是。 33 若不然，你就听我说，你不要作声，我便将智慧教训你。”

Job 33
New American Standard Bible
Elihu Claims to Speak for God
33 “However, please (A)hear my speech, Job,
And listen to all my words.
2 Behold now, I open my mouth,
My tongue in my [a]mouth speaks.
3 My words are from the integrity of my heart,
And my lips speak (B)knowledge sincerely.
4 The (C)Spirit of God has made me,
And the (D)breath of [b]the Almighty gives me life.
5 (E)Refute me if you can;
Line up against me, take your stand.
6 Behold, I belong to God, like you;
I too have been [c]formed out of the (F)clay.
7 Behold, (G)no fear of me should terrify you,
Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.
8 “You have in fact spoken [d]while I listened,
And I heard the sound of your words:
9 ‘I am (H)pure, (I)without wrongdoing;
I am innocent and there (J)is no guilt in me.
10 Behold, He [e]invents [f]criticisms against me;
He (K)counts me as His enemy.
11 He (L)puts my feet in the stocks;
He watches all my paths.’
12 Behold, let me respond to you, (M)you are not right in this,
For God is greater than mankind.
13 “Why do you (N)complain to Him
That He does not give an account of all His doings?
14 Indeed (O)God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one notices it.
15 In a (P)dream, a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls on people,
While they slumber in their beds,
16 Then (Q)He opens the ears of people,
And horrifies them with warnings,
17 So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct,
And [g]keep a man from pride;
18 He (R)keeps his soul back from the pit,
And his life from perishing by the (S)spear.
19 “A person is also rebuked by (T)pain in his bed,
And with constant complaint in his bones,
20 So that his life (U)loathes bread,
And his soul, food [h]that he should crave.
21 His (V)flesh wastes away from sight,
And his (W)bones, which were not seen, stick out.
22 Then (X)his soul comes near to the pit,
And his life to those who bring death.
23 “If there is an (Y)interceding angel for him,
One out of a thousand,
To remind a person of what is [i]right for him,
24 And he is gracious to him, and says,
‘Free him from (Z)going down to the pit,
I have found a (AA)ransom’;
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,
Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
26 Then he will (AB)pray to God, and He will accept him,
So that (AC)he may see His face with joy,
And He will restore His righteousness to that person.
27 He will sing to people and say,
‘I (AD)have sinned and perverted what is right,
And it is not (AE)proper for me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,
And my life will (AF)see the light.’
29 “Behold, God does (AG)all these things for a man two or three times,
30 To (AH)bring back his soul from the pit,
So that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
31 Pay attention, Job, listen to me;
Keep silent, and let me speak.
32 Then if [j]you have anything to say, answer me;
Speak, for I would take pleasure in justifying you.
33 If not, (AI)listen to me;
Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
