約伯記 12
1 約伯回答說：
And he answered Job and he said.
2 的確，只有你們是有知識的子民；那麼，你們一死，智慧也與你們一同喪亡!
Truly that you [are the] people and with you it will die wisdom.
3 其實，我和你們有同樣的心理，我並不亞於你們! 誰不知道這些事﹖
Also [belongs] to me a heart - like you not [am] falling I more than you and with whom? [are] there not like these [things].
4 我這呼籲天主而蒙應允的人，卻被他的友人所嘲笑，無辜的義人卻成了笑柄。
A laughingstock to friend his - I am [one who] called to God and he answered him [is] a laughingstock a righteous [person] a blameless [person].
5 幸運的人心想：遭難的人應受蔑視，失足的人應再予以打擊。
[belongs] to Disaster contempt to [the] thought of [one] at ease a push [belongs] to [those who] are sliding of foot.
6 但是，強盜的帳幕竟能安全，觸怒天主的人，以勢力為神的人卻享平安。
They are at peace [the] tents - of destroyers and securiti [belong] to provokers of God to [those] whom he has brought God in hand his.
7 請你詢問走獸，牠們也會開導你；詢問天上的飛鳥，牠們也會告訴你；
And but ask please [the] animals so it may teach you and [the] bird[s] of the heavens so it may tell to you.
8 地上的爬蟲也會教訓你，海中的魚族也會給你說明。
Or complain to the earth so it may teach you and they may recount to you [the] fish of the sea.
9 牠們中有誰不知道：是天主的手創造了這一切﹖
Who? not does it know among all these for [the] hand of Yahweh it has done this.
10 因為一切活物的生魂，一切血肉之人的靈魂，都握在他手中。
[he] whom [is] in Hand his [the] life of every living [thing] and [the] breath of all flesh of humankind.
11 耳朵不是為明辨言語，口腔不是為辨嘗食物嗎﹖
¿ Not an ear words does it test and a palate food it tastes itself.
12 白髮老人是有智慧的，年紀大者是有見識的；
[is] with Aged [people] wisdom and [is with] length of days understanding.
13 但智慧和能力同在天主內，智慧與見識是天主所有。
[are] with Him wisdom and might [belong] to him counsel and understanding.
14 他若拆毀，人不能再建；他若拘禁，人不得開釋。
There! he tears down and not it will be rebuilt he shuts on a person and not it will be opened.
15 他若制水，水便乾涸；他若放水，水便沖毀大地。
There! he holds back the waters so they may be dry and he lets loose them and they may devastate [the] earth.
16 力量與才能，為他所有；受騙者與騙人者，都屬於他。
[are] with Him strength and sound wisdom [belong] to him [one who] goes astray and [one who] leads astray.
17 他使謀士糊塗，使判官愚蠢；
[he is] leading away Counselors barefoot and judges he makes look foolish.
18 他解除君王所繫的玉帶，將繩索捆在他們的腰間；
[the] correction of Kings he loosens and he bound a loincloth on loins their.
19 他使司祭赤足而行，推倒掌握大權者；
[he is] leading away Priests barefoot and [people] long established he overturns.
20 奪去忠貞者的辯才，剝去年老者的理智：
[he is] removing A lip of trusted [ones] and [the] discernment of elders he takes away.
21 使貴人備受侮辱，使勇士的腰帶鬆弛；
[he is] pouring Contempt on noble [people] and [the] belt of strong people he loosens.
22 使隱秘的事由暗處彰顯，使黑暗進入光明；
[he is] revealing Unfathomable [things] from darkness and he brought out to the light deep darkness.
23 使邦國興起而又滅亡，使民族強大而又消散；
[he is] making great the Nations and he destroyed them [he is] spreading out the nations and he led them.
24 剝去國君的理智，使他們漂泊於無路的荒野中，
[he is] removing [the] heart of [the] leaders of [the] people of The earth and he made wander them in a wasteland not a path.
25 在無光的黑暗中摸索，踉蹌猶如醉漢。
They grope darkness and not light and he made wander them like drunkard.
