约伯记 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以利法首次发言责难约伯
4 提幔人以利法回答说：
2 “人若对你说一句话，你就厌烦吗？
但谁又忍得住不说话呢？
3 你曾经教过许多人，
又坚固了无力的手；
4 你的话扶起了绊倒的人，
你使弯曲乏力的膝坚挺。
5 但现在祸患临到你，你就灰心，
灾祸遇上你，你就惊惶沮丧。
神赏善罚恶
6 你所自恃的，不是敬畏 神吗？
你所盼望的，不是行为完全吗？
7 请想一想，无辜的人有谁灭亡？
哪有正直的人被剪除呢？
8 据我所见，耕耘罪孽的，必收割罪孽；
种植毒害的，必收割毒害。
9 他们因 神的气息而灭亡，
因他的怒气而消灭。
10 狮子的咆哮，猛狮的吼声，尽都止息，
壮狮的牙齿也都断掉。
11 公狮因缺乏猎物而死亡，
母狮之子也被分散。
世人微不足道
12 有话偷偷传给我，
我的耳朵听到细语；
13 在夜间因异象而烦扰的心思中，
世人都在沉睡的时候，
14 恐惧战栗临到我，
以致我全身发抖。
15 有灵拂过我面前，
使我毛骨悚然。
16 那灵站住，
我辨不出他的形状，
只见有一形象在我眼前，
然后我听见低微的声音，说：
17 ‘人能在 神面前算为公义吗？
人能在他的创造主面前算为洁净吗？
18 他的仆役他还不信任，
他的天使他也指责过错，
19 何况那些住在土屋里，
根基在尘土中，
比蠹虫还容易被压碎的人呢？
20 在早晚之间他们就被毁灭，
永归沉沦，无人怀念。
21 他们帐棚的绳索不是从他们中间抽出来吗？
他们死去，不是无智慧而死吗？’”
Job 4
Names of God Bible
Eliphaz Speaks: Be Patient and Listen, Job
4 Then Eliphaz from Teman replied to Job,
2 “If someone tries to talk to you, will you become impatient?
But who can keep from talking?
3 Certainly, you have instructed many people:
When hands were weak, you made them strong.
4 When someone stumbled, you lifted him up with your words.
When knees were weak, you gave them strength.
5 But trouble comes to you, and you’re impatient.
It touches you, and you panic.
6 Doesn’t your fear of Elohim give you confidence
and your lifetime of integrity give you hope?
Only Evil People Suffer
7 “Now think about this:
Which innocent person ever died an untimely death?
Find me a decent person who has been destroyed.
8 Whenever I saw those who plowed wickedness and planted misery,
they gathered its harvest.
9 Eloah destroys them with his breath
and kills them with a blast of his anger.
10 Though the roar of the lion
and the growl of the ferocious lion is loud,
the young lions have had their teeth knocked out.
11 The old lions die without any prey to eat,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
12 “I was told something secretly
and heard something whispered in my ear.
13 With disturbing thoughts from visions in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people,
14 fear and trembling came over me,
and all my bones shook.
15 A spirit passed in front of me.
It made my hair stand on end.
16 Something stood there.
I couldn’t tell what it was.
A vague image was in front of my eyes.
I heard a soft voice:
17 ‘Can any mortal be righteous to Eloah?
Can any human being be pure to his maker?’
18 “You see, Eloah doesn’t trust his own servants,
and he accuses his angels of making mistakes.
19 How much more will he accuse those who live in clay houses
that have their foundation in the dust.
Those houses can be crushed quicker than a moth!
20 From morning to evening, they are shattered.
They will disappear forever without anyone paying attention.
21 Haven’t the ropes of their tent been loosened?
Won’t they die without wisdom?
