约伯记 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以利法的责难
4 提幔人以利法回答说：
2 “若有人向你进言，
你会厌烦吗？
可是，谁能忍住不说呢？
3 你曾教导许多人，
使无力的手强壮。
4 你的话使人免于跌倒，
你使颤抖的膝硬朗。
5 但现在苦难一来，
你便灰心丧胆；
灾祸来临，
你便惊慌失措。
6 你敬畏上帝还没有信心吗？
你行为纯全还没有盼望吗？
7 你想一想，
哪有无辜的人灭亡？
哪有正直的人遭殃？
8 据我所见，
播恶收恶，
种祸得祸。
9 他们被上帝的气息所毁，
被上帝的怒气所灭。
10 狮子咆哮，猛狮吼叫，
壮狮的牙齿被敲掉。
11 雄狮因无食而死，
母狮的幼崽离散。
12 “有信息暗暗地传给我，
一声低语传入我耳中。
13 夜间人们沉睡的时候，
在搅扰思绪的异象中，
14 恐惧袭来，
令我战栗不已，
全身发抖。
15 有灵从我脸上拂过，
使我毛骨悚然。
16 那灵停住，
我无法辨认其模样。
眼前出现一个形状，
寂静中听见有声音说，
17 ‘在上帝面前，世人岂算得上公义？
在创造主面前，凡人岂算得上纯洁？
18 连上帝的仆人都无法令祂信任，
连祂的天使都被祂找出过错，
19 更何况源自尘土、
住在土造的躯壳里、
脆弱如蛾的世人呢？
20 早晚之间，他们便被毁灭，
永远消逝，无人察觉。
21 他们帐篷的绳索被拔起，
他们毫无智慧地死去。’
Job 4
Young's Literal Translation
4 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
2 Hath one tried a word with thee? -- Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?
3 Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong.
4 The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.
5 But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.
6 Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope -- the perfection of thy ways?
7 Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?
8 As I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!
9 From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.
10 The roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have been broken.
11 An old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of the lioness do separate.
12 And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it.
13 In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men,
14 Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear.
15 And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh;
16 It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude [is] over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear:
17 `Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner?
18 Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.'
19 Also -- the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation [is] in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)
20 From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish.
21 Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!
Job 4
King James Version
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
