Job 37
Revised Standard Version
37 “At this also my heart trembles,
and leaps out of its place.
2 Hearken to the thunder of his voice
and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
3 Under the whole heaven he lets it go,
and his lightning to the corners of the earth.
4 After it his voice roars;
he thunders with his majestic voice
and he does not restrain the lightnings[a] when his voice is heard.
5 God thunders wondrously with his voice;
he does great things which we cannot comprehend.
6 For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth’;
and to the shower and the rain,[b] ‘Be strong.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man,
that all men may know his work.[c]
8 Then the beasts go into their lairs,
and remain in their dens.
9 From its chamber comes the whirlwind,
and cold from the scattering winds.
10 By the breath of God ice is given,
and the broad waters are frozen fast.
11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
the clouds scatter his lightning.
12 They turn round and round by his guidance,
to accomplish all that he commands them
on the face of the habitable world.
13 Whether for correction, or for his land,
or for love, he causes it to happen.
14 “Hear this, O Job;
stop and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know how God lays his command upon them,
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Do you know the balancings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,
17 you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18 Can you, like him, spread out the skies,
hard as a molten mirror?
19 Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?
21 “And now men cannot look on the light
when it is bright in the skies,
when the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
God is clothed with terrible majesty.
23 The Almighty—we cannot find him;
he is great in power and justice,
and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
24 Therefore men fear him;
he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”
约伯记 37
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
述說 神的威榮與作為
37 “我的心因此戰兢，
跳離原處。
2 你們當細聽他轟轟的聲音，
他口中發出隆隆的雷聲。
3 他發雷聲響遍天下，
也發電光閃到地極。
4 接著雷聲霹靂，
神以自己威嚴之聲打雷，
人聽到雷聲的時候，
神並沒有留住風霜雨雲（“風霜雨雲”直譯是“它們”）。
5 神以奇妙的方法打雷，
他行大事，我們不能了解。
6 他對雪說：‘降在地上’，
對大雨暴雨也是這樣。
7 他封住各人的手，
叫萬人知道他的作為。
8 野獸進入洞中，
留在穴裡。
9 風暴來自南宮，
寒冷出於北方。
10 神所呼的氣息結成冰，
廣闊無邊的水也凝結；
11 他使密雲滿載水氣，
雲彩布散他的電光。
12 電光照著 神的指引來往旋轉，
在地球上行他一切所吩咐的。
13 他使電光來臨，是為施行責罰，
或為滋潤大地，或為賜予慈愛。
14 約伯啊！你當留心聽這話，
要站立思想 神奇妙的事。
15 神怎樣吩咐這些，
又怎樣使雲中的電光照耀，你知道嗎？
16 密雲怎樣浮於空中，
那知識全備者奇妙的作為，你知道嗎？
17 地因南風而寂靜的時候，
你的衣服怎樣熱起來，你知道嗎？
18 你能與 神同鋪雲天嗎？
這雲天堅硬如鑄成的鏡子。
19 我們因愚昧無知的緣故，不能陳明我們的案件，
請你告訴我們應該對他說甚麼話。
20 人怎能對他說：‘我要說話’？
哪有人自願滅亡呢？
21 人不能看見雲後的強光，
唯有經風一吹，天才晴朗。
22 金光來自北方，
在 神的周圍有可怕的威嚴。
23 論到全能者，我們無法把他查出；
他大有能力與公平，
又滿有公義，他必不苦待人。
24 因此人人都應該敬畏他；
心中自以為有智慧的，
他都不看顧。”
