< 約伯記 26 >

1 約伯回答說:
And Job answereth and saith: —
2 無能的人蒙你何等的幫助! 膀臂無力的人蒙你何等的拯救!
What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 無智慧的人蒙你何等的指教! 你向他多顯大知識!
What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
4 你向誰發出言語來? 誰的靈從你而出?
With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
5 在大水和水族以下的陰魂戰兢。
The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
6 在上帝面前,陰間顯露; 滅亡也不得遮掩。 (Sheol h7585)
Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 上帝將北極鋪在空中, 將大地懸在虛空;
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
8 將水包在密雲中, 雲卻不破裂;
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.
9 遮蔽他的寶座, 將雲鋪在其上;
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
10 在水面的周圍劃出界限, 直到光明黑暗的交界。
A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
11 天的柱子因他的斥責震動驚奇。
Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 他以能力攪動大海; 他藉知識打傷拉哈伯,
By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
13 藉他的靈使天有妝飾; 他的手刺殺快蛇。
By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
14 看哪,這不過是上帝工作的些微; 我們所聽於他的是何等細微的聲音! 他大能的雷聲誰能明透呢?
Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
