约伯记 40
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
40 耶和华又对约伯说：
2 “强辩者岂可与全能者争论？
与上帝辩驳的人请作出答复。”
3 约伯回答耶和华说：
4 “我这样卑微，怎能答复你？
我只有用手掩口。
5 我说了一次，不能答复；
说了两次，不敢再说。”
6 耶和华从旋风中对约伯说：
7 “你要像勇士一样束腰备战，
我来提问，你来回答。
8 你要推翻我的公义，
归罪于我而自以为义吗？
9 你有上帝那样的臂膀吗？
你能像祂那样发出雷鸣吗？
10 请展示你的荣耀和光辉，
披上你的尊荣和威严；
11 发泄你满腔的怒火，
鉴察骄傲者，贬抑他；
12 鉴察骄傲者，制服他，
将恶人原地践踏；
13 将他们一起埋进尘土，
藏入幽冥。
14 这样，我就承认你的右手能拯救自己。
15 “你看河马，
它和你都是我造的，
它像牛一样吃草。
16 你看它腰间的气力，
它腹部肌肉的力量。
17 它尾巴挺直如香柏树，
大腿的筋紧密相连，
18 骨头如铜管，
四肢像铁棍。
19 它是上帝创造的杰作，
创造主赐给它利刃[a]。
20 群山供应它食物，
百兽在那里玩耍。
21 它躺在莲叶之下，
藏在泥沼的芦苇间，
22 莲叶为它遮荫，
溪畔的柳树环绕它。
23 河水泛滥，它不惊惧；
约旦河涨到它口边，它也无忧。
24 谁能在它警觉时捕捉它，
或用钩子穿透它的鼻子？

Job 40
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
40 Då talade Herren igen till Job från virvelvinden:
2 Res dig och gör dig beredd att lyssna till mig. Låt mig fråga dig, och svara mig sedan.
3 Tänker du ifrågasätta att jag är rättvis och fördöma mig för att själv få rätt?
4 Är du lika stark som Gud? Kan du ropa lika högt som han?
5 Då ska du ta på dig din kungamantel och klä dig i majestät och ära.
6 Ge fritt lopp åt din vrede! Låt den fara ut mot var och en som är stolt och högmodig!
7 Förödmjuka de högfärdiga med ett ögonkast och slå ner de ogudaktiga, där de står.
8 Slå dem till marken och låt deras ansikten stelna i döden.
9 Om du kan göra detta, då ska jag hålla med dig om att din egen styrka kan rädda dig.
10 Titta på flodhästen! Jag skapade honom, precis som jag skapade dig. Han äter gräs som en oxe.
11 Se på hans väldiga lår och hans bukmuskler.
12 Hans svans vajar som en ceder. Senorna i hans lår är tätt sammanflätade.
13 Hans benpipor är som rör av koppar och hans ben som stänger av järn.
14 Han tillhör det förnämsta bland Guds skapade varelser, men vem utom Gud kan tämja honom!
15 Bergen ger honom den bästa födan, och där betar också de andra vilda djuren.
16 Han lägger sig under lotusträden, i skydd av vassen,
17 bland pilarna bredvid floden.
18 Han låter sig inte störas av de vilda vågorna ens när Jordan vräker sig fram mot honom.
19 Ingen kan fånga honom när han ligger på lur, eller sätta en ring i hans nos och leda honom bort.
20 Kan du fånga krokodilen med krok och lina eller slå en snara runt hans tunga?
21 Kan du binda honom med rep och nosring eller genomborra hans käftar med en pik?
22 Kommer han att be dig sluta eller försöka få dig att avstå från dina avsikter?
23 Kommer han att gå med på att du gör honom till din slav för alltid?
24 Kan du tämja honom till ett sällskapsdjur, som en fågel, eller ge honom till dina barn som leksak?
25 Brukar uppköpare ge bud på honom och sälja honom vidare?
26 Kan du genomborra hans hud med en pil eller hans huvud med en harpun?
27 Om du rör honom, kommer du att länge minnas den strid som uppstår, och aldrig mer göra om försöket.
28 Nej, det är meningslöst att försöka fånga honom. Till och med blotta tanken är skrämmande.

Job 40
New International Version
40 The Lord said to Job:(A)
2 “Will the one who contends with the Almighty(B) correct him?(C)
Let him who accuses God answer him!”(D)
3 Then Job answered the Lord:
4 “I am unworthy(E)—how can I reply to you?
I put my hand over my mouth.(F)
5 I spoke once, but I have no answer(G)—
twice, but I will say no more.”(H)
6 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:(I)
7 “Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.(J)
8 “Would you discredit my justice?(K)
Would you condemn me to justify yourself?(L)
9 Do you have an arm like God’s,(M)
and can your voice(N) thunder like his?(O)
10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor,
and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.(P)
11 Unleash the fury of your wrath,(Q)
look at all who are proud and bring them low,(R)
12 look at all who are proud(S) and humble them,(T)
crush(U) the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury them all in the dust together;(V)
shroud their faces in the grave.(W)
14 Then I myself will admit to you
that your own right hand can save you.(X)
15 “Look at Behemoth,
which I made(Y) along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.(Z)
16 What strength(AA) it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!(AB)
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.(AC)
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs(AD) like rods of iron.(AE)
19 It ranks first among the works of God,(AF)
yet its Maker(AG) can approach it with his sword.(AH)
20 The hills bring it their produce,(AI)
and all the wild animals play(AJ) nearby.(AK)
21 Under the lotus plants it lies,
hidden among the reeds(AL) in the marsh.(AM)
22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow;
the poplars by the stream(AN) surround it.
23 A raging river(AO) does not alarm it;
it is secure, though the Jordan(AP) should surge against its mouth.
24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes,
or trap it and pierce its nose?(AQ)

Job’s Response to the Lord[a]
1 The Lord then said to Job:
2 “Will the one who finds fault with the Almighty respond?
Anyone who argues with God should state his case.”
3 Job then answered the Lord and said:
4 “Since I am of little importance, how can I reply to you?
I will simply place my hand over my mouth.
5 Although I have spoken once, I will not answer;
I have spoken twice, but I will do so no more.”
The Lord’s Second Speech[b]
Unleash the Fury of Your Wrath.[c] 6 Then the Lord addressed Job out of the whirlwind:
7 “Gird up your loins like a man.
I intend to put questions to you,
and you must give me your answers.
8 Will you continue to deny that I am just?
Will you condemn me in order to justify yourself?
9 Do you have an arm like that of God?
Can your voice thunder as loudly as his?
10 “Display your majesty and grandeur;
array yourself with glory and splendor.
11 Unleash the fury of your wrath
and humble the haughty with a glance.
12 Look on all who are proud and shatter them;
strike down the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury all of them in the earth[d] together,
and shroud their faces in an unknown grave.
14 Then I in turn will acknowledge to you
that your own right hand is strong enough to save you.
Behemoth . . . the First of God’s Works[e]
15 “Look at Behemoth whom I made just as I made you;
it feeds on grass like an ox.
16 Yet what strength it has in its loins
and what power in the muscles of its body.
17 Its tail is as stiff as a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are tightly knit.
18 Its bones are like tubes of bronze,
its limbs like rods of iron.
19 “It is the first of God’s works;
only its Maker can control it with the sword.
20 The mountains provide it with food,
as do the wild animals that roam the hills.
21 It rests under the lotus trees
as it lies hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
22 “The lotus trees afford it shade,
and it is sheltered by the willows of the stream.
23 Even if the river becomes turbulent,
it does not become frightened;
it remains tranquil
even if the waters rise up to its mouth.
24 Who can blind its eyes and capture it
or pierce its nose with a trap?
Leviathan . . . the King of the Haughty[f]
25 “Can you catch Leviathan with a fishhook
or tie a rope around its tongue?
26 Can you put a rope through its nose
or pierce its jaw with a hook?[g]
27 Will it plead with you for mercy
and address you with gentle words?
28 Will it strike a bargain with you
that will make it your servant forever?
29 “Will you play with it as you would with a bird?
Will you put it on a leash to amuse your maidens?
30 Will traders bargain for it?
Will merchants divide it up?
31 Can you riddle its hide with harpoons
or its head with fishing spears?
32 If you ever should plan to lay a hand on it,
first think of the struggle that awaits you,
and then cease all such thoughts.
Footnotes
- Job 40:1 Human beings can argue forever, but when God speaks, a profound reverence seizes the believer. When forced to answer, Job retracts what he has said and ends his rebellion.
- Job 40:6 The author of this discourse knows how to use irony. Here God brings before Job two beasts of the Nile, both of them fearsome to humans but totally under God’s control.
- Job 40:6 Despite appearances, God administers justice—something that Job cannot do. The implication is clear: Job should leave it to God’s strong arm (see v. 9) to administer justice, which is also true for his own vindication (see v. 14).
- Job 40:13 Earth: literally, “dust,” i.e., the netherworld, dark dwelling place of the dead.
- Job 40:15 Behemoth: i.e., the beast par excellence; here it refers to the hippopotamus who is impressive by its power; the other animals acknowledge its royalty.
- Job 40:25 The monster of chaos now becomes Leviathan (probably the crocodile), which is even more fearsome than Behemoth.
- Job 40:26 Can you put a rope . . . hook?: i.e., the treatment inflicted on prisoners at that time (see Ezek 29:4).
