< Job 26 >
1 And Job answers and says:
約伯回答說:
2 “How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
無能為力的人,你怎樣援助了他﹖無力的手臂,你怎樣支持了他﹖
3 How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
你給無知的人出過什麼主義,表現了你豐富的智慧﹖
4 With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
你說這些話是指教誰﹖從你心裏發出的是什麼精神﹖
5 The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
幽魂在地下打顫,海底與居於海底的,驚恐不已。
6 Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol )
陰府在他前面顯露,死域也沒有遮掩。 (Sheol )
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
他將北極伸張到太虛,將大地懸於虛無之上。
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
他將水包裹在濃雲中,托水的雲彩卻不破裂。
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
他遮蔽了滿月的面貌,使雲彩散佈其上。
10 He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
在水面上劃了一圓圈,當作光明與黑暗的分界。
11 Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
支天的柱子震動,因他的呵叱而戰慄。
12 By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
他以威力使海洋動盪,以明智擊傷了海怪。
13 He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
他一噓氣,天氣清朗;他親手戮穿了飛龍。
14 Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
看啊! 這只是他行動的一端,我們所聽到的語句,何其細微! 他轟轟烈烈的作為,有誰能明瞭﹖
