约伯记 40
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
约伯在 神面前谦卑自己
40 耶和华又对约伯说：
2 “挑剔是非的，怎能与全能者争辩呢？
责备 神的，回答这个问题吧。”
3 于是约伯回答耶和华说：
4 “我是微小的，可以回答你甚么呢？
我只好用手掩口。
5 这说了一次，不再回答；
说了二次就不再说。”
耶和华再教训约伯
6 于是耶和华从旋风中回答约伯说：
7 “你要如勇士束腰，
我要问你，你要告诉我。
8 你怎能废弃我所审断的？
怎能定我为有罪，好显出你自己为义呢？
9 你有 神那样的膀臂吗？
你能用他那样的声音打雷吗？
10 你当以庄严与尊贵为装饰，
以尊荣与威严为衣服。
11 要倒尽你忿激的怒气，
观看所有骄傲的人，使他们降卑。
12 观看所有骄傲的人，把他制伏，
把恶人践踏在他们的地方，
13 把他们一起掩藏在尘土里，
把他们本人捆绑在隐密处。
14 这样，我就要向你承认，
你的右手能拯救你。
神创造河马
15 你看看河马吧，
我造牠像造你一样，
牠吃草如牛一般。
16 你看，牠的力量在腰间，
牠的能力在肚腹的肌肉上，
17 牠挺直尾巴硬如香柏树，
牠大腿的筋虬结在一起，
18 牠的骨头仿佛铜管，
牠的骨干好象铁棍。
19 牠在 神所造的事工中居首（“牠在 神所造的事工中居首”直译作“牠在 神的工作中居首”），
只有创造牠的能使刀剑临到牠身上。
20 群山为牠生出食物，
田野的百兽都在那里玩耍。
21 牠躺在莲叶之下，
躺在芦苇丛中与泥泽之间；
22 莲叶的阴影遮蔽牠，
溪旁的白杨树环绕牠。
23 江河泛滥，牠毫不慌张，
约旦河的水涨到牠的口边，牠还是安然。
24 牠警觉的时候谁能捉拿牠？
谁能用铁圈穿牠的鼻子呢？”

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
International Children’s Bible
40 The Lord said to Job:
2 “Will the person who argues with God All-Powerful correct him?
Let the person who accuses God answer him!”
3 Then Job answered the Lord:
4 “I am not worthy. I cannot answer you anything.
I will put my hand over my mouth.
5 I spoke one time, but I will not answer again.
I even spoke two times, but I will say nothing more.”
6 Then the Lord spoke to Job from the storm:
7 “Be strong, like a man.
I will ask you questions.
And you must answer me.
8 Would you say that I am unfair?
Would you blame me to make yourself look right?
9 Are you as strong as God?
And can your voice thunder like his?
10 If so, then decorate yourself with glory and beauty.
And put on honor and greatness as if they were clothing.
11 Let your great anger punish.
Look at everyone who is proud and make him feel unimportant.
12 Look at everyone who is proud and bring him under your control.
Crush the wicked wherever they are.
13 Bury them all in the dirt together.
Cover their faces in the grave.
14 If you can do that, then I myself will praise you
because you are strong enough to save yourself.
15 “Look at Behemoth.[a]
I made him just as I made you.
He eats grass like an ox.
16 Look at the strength he has in his body.
The muscles of his stomach are powerful!
17 His tail extends like a cedar tree.
The muscles of his thighs are woven together.
18 His bones are like tubes of bronze metal.
His legs are like bars of iron.
19 He is one of the first of God’s works.
But God, his Maker, can destroy him.
20 The hills, where the wild animals play,
provide food for him.
21 He lies under the lotus plants
hidden by the tall grass in the swamp.
22 The lotus plants hide him in their shadow.
The poplar trees by the streams surround him.
23 If the river floods, he will not be afraid.
He is not afraid even if the Jordan River rushes to his mouth.
24 Can anyone blind his eyes and capture him?
Can anyone put hooks in his nose?

Job 40
New International Reader's Version
40 The Lord continued,
2 “I am the Mighty One.
Will the man who argues with me correct me?
Let him who brings charges against me answer me!”
3 Job replied to the Lord,
4 “I’m not worthy. How can I reply to you?
I’m putting my hand over my mouth. I’ll stop talking.
5 I spoke once. But I really don’t have any answer.
I spoke twice. But I won’t say anything else.”
6 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said,
7 “Get ready to stand up for yourself.
I will ask you some more questions.
Then I want you to answer me.
8 “Would you dare to claim that I am not being fair?
Would you judge me in order to make yourself seem right?
9 Is your arm as powerful as mine is?
Can your voice thunder as mine does?
10 Then put on glory and beauty as if they were your clothes.
Also put on honor and majesty.
11 Let loose your great anger.
Look at those who are proud and bring them low.
12 Look at proud people and make them humble.
Crush evil people right where they are.
13 Bury their bodies together in the dust.
Cover their faces in the grave.
14 Then I myself will admit to you
that your own right hand can save you.
15 “Look at Behemoth. It is a huge animal.
I made both of you.
It eats grass like an ox.
16 Look at the strength it has in its hips!
What power it has in the muscles of its stomach!
17 Its tail sways back and forth like a cedar tree.
The tendons of its thighs are close together.
18 Its bones are like tubes made out of bronze.
Its legs are like rods made out of iron.
19 It ranks first among my works.
I made it. I can approach it with my sword.
20 The hills produce food for it.
All the other wild animals play near it.
21 It lies under lotus plants.
It hides in tall grass in the swamps.
22 The lotus plants hide it in their shade.
Poplar trees near streams surround it.
23 It is not afraid when the river roars.
It is secure even when the Jordan River rushes against its mouth.
24 Can anyone capture it by its eyes?
Can anyone trap it and poke a hole through its nose?
