约伯记 39
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
以禽兽之性诘约伯
39 “山岩间的野山羊几时生产,你知道吗?母鹿下犊之期,你能察定吗? 2 它们怀胎的月数,你能数算吗?它们几时生产,你能晓得吗? 3 它们屈身,将子生下,就除掉疼痛。 4 这子渐渐肥壮,在荒野长大,去而不回。
5 “谁放野驴出去自由?谁解开快驴的绳索? 6 我使旷野做它的住处,使咸地当它的居所。 7 它嗤笑城内的喧嚷,不听赶牲口的喝声。 8 遍山是它的草场,它寻找各样青绿之物。 9 野牛岂肯服侍你?岂肯住在你的槽旁? 10 你岂能用套绳将野牛笼在犁沟之间?它岂肯随你耙山谷之地? 11 岂可因它的力大就倚靠它?岂可把你的工交给它做吗? 12 岂可信靠它把你的粮食运到家,又收聚你禾场上的谷吗?
13 “鸵鸟的翅膀欢然搧展,岂是显慈爱的翎毛和羽毛吗? 14 因它把蛋留在地上,在尘土中使得温暖, 15 却想不到被脚踹碎,或被野兽践踏。 16 它忍心待雏,似乎不是自己的;虽然徒受劳苦,也不为雏惧怕。 17 因为神使它没有智慧,也未将悟性赐给它。 18 它几时挺身展开翅膀,就嗤笑马和骑马的人。
19 “马的大力是你所赐的吗?它颈项上挓挲的鬃是你给它披上的吗? 20 是你叫它跳跃像蝗虫吗?它喷气之威使人惊惶。 21 它在谷中刨地,自喜其力,它出去迎接佩带兵器的人。 22 它嗤笑可怕的事并不惊惶,也不因刀剑退回。 23 箭袋和发亮的枪并短枪,在它身上铮铮有声。 24 它发猛烈的怒气将地吞下,一听角声就不耐站立。 25 角每发声,它说‘呵哈’,它从远处闻着战气,又听见军长大发雷声和兵丁呐喊。
26 “鹰雀飞翔,展开翅膀一直向南,岂是借你的智慧吗? 27 大鹰上腾在高处搭窝,岂是听你的吩咐吗? 28 它住在山岩,以山峰和坚固之所为家, 29 从那里窥看食物,眼睛远远观望。 30 它的雏也咂血;被杀的人在哪里,它也在哪里。”
Job 39
New International Version
39 “Do you know when the mountain goats(A) give birth?
Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?(B)
2 Do you count the months till they bear?
Do you know the time they give birth?(C)
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;
their labor pains are ended.
4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;
they leave and do not return.
5 “Who let the wild donkey(D) go free?
Who untied its ropes?
6 I gave it the wasteland(E) as its home,
the salt flats(F) as its habitat.(G)
7 It laughs(H) at the commotion in the town;
it does not hear a driver’s shout.(I)
8 It ranges the hills(J) for its pasture
and searches for any green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox(K) consent to serve you?(L)
Will it stay by your manger(M) at night?
10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?(N)
Will it till the valleys behind you?
11 Will you rely on it for its great strength?(O)
Will you leave your heavy work to it?
12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain
and bring it to your threshing floor?
13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
though they cannot compare
with the wings and feathers of the stork.(P)
14 She lays her eggs on the ground
and lets them warm in the sand,
15 unmindful that a foot may crush them,
that some wild animal may trample them.(Q)
16 She treats her young harshly,(R) as if they were not hers;
she cares not that her labor was in vain,
17 for God did not endow her with wisdom
or give her a share of good sense.(S)
18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run,
she laughs(T) at horse and rider.
19 “Do you give the horse its strength(U)
or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Do you make it leap like a locust,(V)
striking terror(W) with its proud snorting?(X)
21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,(Y)
and charges into the fray.(Z)
22 It laughs(AA) at fear, afraid of nothing;
it does not shy away from the sword.
23 The quiver(AB) rattles against its side,
along with the flashing spear(AC) and lance.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.(AD)
25 At the blast of the trumpet(AE) it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.(AF)
26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom
and spread its wings toward the south?(AG)
27 Does the eagle soar at your command
and build its nest on high?(AH)
28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;
a rocky crag(AI) is its stronghold.
29 From there it looks for food;(AJ)
its eyes detect it from afar.
30 Its young ones feast on blood,
and where the slain are, there it is.”(AK)
Job 39
New King James Version
God Continues to Challenge Job
39 “Do you know the time when the wild (A)mountain goats bear young?
Or can you mark when (B)the deer gives birth?
2 Can you number the months that they fulfill?
Or do you know the time when they bear young?
3 They bow down,
They bring forth their young,
They deliver their [a]offspring.
4 Their young ones are healthy,
They grow strong with grain;
They depart and do not return to them.
5 “Who set the wild donkey free?
Who loosed the bonds of the [b]onager,
6 (C)Whose home I have made the wilderness,
And the [c]barren land his dwelling?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city;
He does not heed the shouts of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searches after (D)every green thing.
9 “Will the (E)wild ox be willing to serve you?
Will he bed by your manger?
10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes?
Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
11 Will you trust him because his strength is great?
Or will you leave your labor to him?
12 Will you trust him to bring home your [d]grain,
And gather it to your threshing floor?
13 “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,
But are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork’s?
14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground,
And warms them in the dust;
15 She forgets that a foot may crush them,
Or that a wild beast may break them.
16 She (F)treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers;
Her labor is in vain, without [e]concern,
17 Because God deprived her of wisdom,
And did not (G)endow her with understanding.
18 When she lifts herself on high,
She scorns the horse and its rider.
19 “Have you given the horse strength?
Have you clothed his neck with [f]thunder?
20 Can you [g]frighten him like a locust?
His majestic snorting strikes terror.
21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
(H)He gallops into the clash of arms.
22 He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;
Nor does he turn back from the sword.
23 The quiver rattles against him,
The glittering spear and javelin.
24 He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;
Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle from afar,
The thunder of captains and shouting.
26 “Does the hawk fly by your wisdom,
And spread its wings toward the south?
27 Does the (I)eagle mount up at your command,
And (J)make its nest on high?
28 On the rock it dwells and resides,
On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.
29 From there it spies out the prey;
Its eyes observe from afar.
30 Its young ones suck up blood;
And (K)where the slain are, there it is.”
