Job 26
1 Job replied,
約伯回答說：
2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
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 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
無智慧的人蒙你何等的指教！ 你向他多顯大知識！
4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
你向誰發出言語來？ 誰的靈從你而出？
5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
在大水和水族以下的陰魂戰兢。
在上帝面前，陰間顯露； 滅亡也不得遮掩。 (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
上帝將北極鋪在空中， 將大地懸在虛空；
8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
將水包在密雲中， 雲卻不破裂；
9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
遮蔽他的寶座， 將雲鋪在其上；
10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
在水面的周圍劃出界限， 直到光明黑暗的交界。
11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
天的柱子因他的斥責震動驚奇。
12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
他以能力攪動大海； 他藉知識打傷拉哈伯，
13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
藉他的靈使天有妝飾； 他的手刺殺快蛇。
14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
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？
