< Job 26 >

1 Then Job made answer and said,
約伯回答說:
2 How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
無能的人蒙你何等的幫助! 膀臂無力的人蒙你何等的拯救!
3 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
無智慧的人蒙你何等的指教! 你向他多顯大知識!
4 To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
你向誰發出言語來? 誰的靈從你而出?
5 The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
在大水和水族以下的陰魂戰兢。
6 The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
在上帝面前,陰間顯露; 滅亡也不得遮掩。 (Sheol h7585)
7 By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
上帝將北極鋪在空中, 將大地懸在虛空;
8 By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
將水包在密雲中, 雲卻不破裂;
9 By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
遮蔽他的寶座, 將雲鋪在其上;
10 By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
在水面的周圍劃出界限, 直到光明黑暗的交界。
11 The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
天的柱子因他的斥責震動驚奇。
12 By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
他以能力攪動大海; 他藉知識打傷拉哈伯,
13 By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
藉他的靈使天有妝飾; 他的手刺殺快蛇。
14 See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
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?
