Job 12
Magandang Balita Biblia
Inilahad ni Job ang Kapangyarihan at ang Kaalaman ng Diyos
12 Ang sagot ni Job:
2 “Walang duda na ikaw ang tinig ng bayan;
kapag ika'y namatay, karunungan ay kasama mong papanaw.
3 Kung may pang-unawa ka, ako'y mayroon din,
di mo masasabing higit ka kaysa akin,
lahat ng sinabi mo'y nalalaman ko rin.
4 Pinagtatawanan ako ngayon ng aking mga kaibigan,
kahit ako ay matuwid at walang kasalanan,
minsan din nama'y sinagot ng Diyos ang aking kahilingan.
5 Maginhawa ka ngayon, ngunit ako'y iyong kinukutya,
hinahampas mo ang isang taong babagsak na sa hina.
6 Ang mga tulisan at masasamang tao'y panatag ang buhay,
kahit ang dinidiyos nila ay ang lakas nilang taglay.
7 “Sa mga hayop at mga ibon ika'y may matututunan, magtanong ka sa kanila, at ikaw ay tuturuan.
8 Kausapin mo ang lupa at ikaw ay tuturuan, magpapahayag sa iyo ang mga isda sa karagatan.
9 Silang lahat ay nakakaalam na ang Diyos ang sa kanila'y lumalang.
10 Ang Diyos ang nagpapagalaw sa lahat ng bagay,
ang buhay ng bawat isa ay nasa kanyang mga kamay.
11 Nalalasahan ng dila ang mga pagkain,
naririnig ng tainga ang salitang dumarating.
12 “Ang matatanda ay may taglay na karunungan,
pinalawak ang unawa sa haba ng karanasan.
13 Ngunit likas sa Diyos ang kaalaman at kapangyarihan,
taglay niya'y karunungan at katalinuhan.
14 Walang makakapagtayo muli ng kanyang giniba,
sinumang ikulong niya'y walang makakapagpalaya.
15 Nagkakaroon ng tagtuyot kapag pinigilan niya ang ulan,
dumarating ang baha kapag tubig ay kanyang pinakawalan.
16 “Makapangyarihan siya at laging nagtatagumpay,
ang mandaraya at dinadaya ay nasa kanyang mga kamay.
17 Inaalis niya sa mga pinuno ang taglay nilang dunong,
ginagawa niyang hangal ang mga hukom.
18 Inaalis niya sa mga hari ang pamamahala, at sila'y ginagapos niya ng mga tanikala.
19 Maging mga pari'y kanyang hinihiya, mga nasa kapangyarihan kanyang ibinababâ.
20 Mga pinagkakatiwalaang tao'y kanyang pinatatahimik,
talino ng matatanda'y kanya ring inaalis.
21 Mga pinuno'y inilalagay niya sa kahihiyan,
mga namamahala'y inaalisan niya ng kalakasan.
22 Pinakamalalim na hiwaga'y kanyang inihahayag,
maitim na kadilima'y pinapalitan niya ng liwanag.
23 Mga bansa'y pinapalakas niya't pinapalawak,
ngunit kanya ring ginagapi at tuloy winawasak.
24 Karunungan ng mga hari'y ginagawang kahangalan,
sa pagpapasya'y nalilito, di alam ang pupuntahan.
25 Sa dilim sila'y nangangapa, sa paglakad ay naliligaw, animo'y mga lasing, sa daan ay sumusuray.
约伯记 12
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約伯自信智慧並非不及三友
12 約伯回答說:
2 “你們真的是有知識的民,
你們死了,智慧也跟你們一同滅亡。
3 但我也有聰明像你們一樣,
我並非不及你們,
像你們所說的這些事,有誰不曉得呢?
4 我這求告 神,又蒙他應允的,
竟成為朋友的笑柄,
公義完全的人竟成為笑柄,
5 平靜的人心中藐視災禍,
作將滑跌者的分。
6 強盜的帳幕興旺,
惹 神發怒的安穩,
神的手賞賜他們。
7 你且問走獸,走獸必指教你,
又問空中的飛鳥,飛鳥必告訴你;
8 或向地說話,地必指教你,
海中的魚也必向你說明。
9 從這一切看來,誰不知道,
是耶和華的手作成這事的呢?
10 活物的生命與全人類的氣息,
都在耶和華的手中。
11 耳朵不是試驗說話,
好像上膛嘗試食物嗎?
12 你們說:老年的有智慧,
長壽的有聰明。
陳述 神的智慧與能力
13 他有智慧與能力,
又有謀略與聰明。
14 他所拆毀的,就不能重建,
他所囚禁的,就不能釋放。
15 他若把水阻截,水就乾涸,
他再把水放出,水就使地翻倒。
16 他有大能與智謀,
受騙的與騙人的,都是屬他的。
17 他把謀士剝衣擄去,
並且愚弄審判官。
18 他解開了君王綁人的繩索,
又用腰布捆綁君王的腰。
19 他把祭司剝衣擄去,
傾覆有權有勢的人。
20 他除掉忠信人的言論,
又除去老年人的辨別力。
21 他把羞辱傾倒在王子上,
又鬆開壯士的腰帶。
22 他從黑暗中彰顯奧祕,
把死蔭領進光中。
23 他使邦國興盛,又毀滅他們,
擴張邦國,又把他們擄去。
24 他除掉地上人民中首領的悟性,
使他們在無路的荒野之地飄流。
25 他們在黑暗無光中摸索,
他使他們飄泊無定像醉漢一樣。”
Job 12
New International Version
Job
12 Then Job replied:
2 “Doubtless you are the only people who matter,
and wisdom will die with you!(A)
3 But I have a mind as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
Who does not know all these things?(B)
4 “I have become a laughingstock(C) to my friends,(D)
though I called on God and he answered(E)—
a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!(F)
5 Those who are at ease have contempt(G) for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.(H)
6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed,(I)
and those who provoke God are secure(J)—
those God has in his hand.[a]
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,(K)
or the birds in the sky,(L) and they will tell you;(M)
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know(N)
that the hand of the Lord has done this?(O)
10 In his hand is the life(P) of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.(Q)
11 Does not the ear test words
as the tongue tastes food?(R)
12 Is not wisdom found among the aged?(S)
Does not long life bring understanding?(T)
13 “To God belong wisdom(U) and power;(V)
counsel and understanding are his.(W)
14 What he tears down(X) cannot be rebuilt;(Y)
those he imprisons cannot be released.(Z)
15 If he holds back the waters,(AA) there is drought;(AB)
if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.(AC)
16 To him belong strength and insight;(AD)
both deceived and deceiver are his.(AE)
17 He leads rulers away stripped(AF)
and makes fools of judges.(AG)
18 He takes off the shackles(AH) put on by kings
and ties a loincloth[b] around their waist.(AI)
19 He leads priests away stripped(AJ)
and overthrows officials long established.(AK)
20 He silences the lips of trusted advisers
and takes away the discernment of elders.(AL)
21 He pours contempt on nobles(AM)
and disarms the mighty.(AN)
22 He reveals the deep things of darkness(AO)
and brings utter darkness(AP) into the light.(AQ)
23 He makes nations great, and destroys them;(AR)
he enlarges nations,(AS) and disperses them.(AT)
24 He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason;(AU)
he makes them wander in a trackless waste.(AV)
25 They grope in darkness with no light;(AW)
he makes them stagger like drunkards.(AX)
Job 12
New King James Version
Job Answers His Critics
12 Then Job answered and said:
2 “No doubt you are the people,
And wisdom will die with you!
3 But I have [a]understanding as well as you;
I am not (A)inferior to you.
Indeed, who does not know such things as these?
4 “I(B) am one mocked by his friends,
Who (C)called on God, and He answered him,
The just and blameless who is ridiculed.
5 A [b]lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease;
It is made ready for (D)those whose feet slip.
6 (E)The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.
7 “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
9 Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
10 (F)In whose hand is the [c]life of every living thing,
And the (G)breath of [d]all mankind?
11 Does not the ear test words
And the [e]mouth taste its food?
12 Wisdom is with aged men,
And with [f]length of days, understanding.
13 “With Him are (H)wisdom and strength,
He has counsel and understanding.
14 If (I)He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt;
If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.
15 If He (J)withholds the waters, they dry up;
If He (K)sends them out, they overwhelm the earth.
16 With Him are strength and prudence.
The deceived and the deceiver are His.
17 He leads counselors away plundered,
And makes fools of the judges.
18 He loosens the bonds of kings,
And binds their waist with a belt.
19 He leads [g]princes away plundered,
And overthrows the mighty.
20 (L)He deprives the trusted ones of speech,
And takes away the discernment of the elders.
21 (M)He pours contempt on princes,
And [h]disarms the mighty.
22 He (N)uncovers deep things out of darkness,
And brings the shadow of death to light.
23 (O)He makes nations great, and destroys them;
He [i]enlarges nations, and guides them.
24 He takes away the [j]understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth,
And (P)makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.
25 (Q)They grope in the dark without light,
And He makes them (R)stagger like a drunken man.
