< Job 37 >
1 “Also, my heart trembles at this, And it moves from its place.
因此我心战兢, 从原处移动。
2 Listen diligently to the trembling of His voice, Indeed, the sound goes forth from His mouth.
听啊, 神轰轰的声音 是他口中所发的响声。
3 He directs it under the whole heavens, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
他发响声震遍天下, 发电光闪到地极。
4 A voice roars after it—He thunders with the voice of His excellence, And He does not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
随后人听见有雷声轰轰,大发威严, 雷电接连不断。
5 God thunders with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we do not know.
神发出奇妙的雷声; 他行大事,我们不能测透。
6 For He says to snow: Be [on] the earth. And the small rain and great rain of His power.
他对雪说:要降在地上; 对大雨和暴雨也是这样说。
7 Into the hand of every man he seals, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
他封住各人的手, 叫所造的万人都晓得他的作为。
8 And the beast enters into [its] lair, And it continues in its habitations.
百兽进入穴中, 卧在洞内。
9 From the inner chamber comes a windstorm, And from scatterings winds—cold,
暴风出于南宫; 寒冷出于北方。
10 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is constricted,
神嘘气成冰; 宽阔之水也都凝结。
11 Indeed, by filling He presses out a cloud, [and] His light scatters a cloud.
他使密云盛满水气, 布散电光之云;
12 And it is turning itself around by His counsels, For their doing all He commands them, On the face of the habitable earth.
这云是借他的指引游行旋转, 得以在全地面上行他一切所吩咐的,
13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness—He causes it to come.
或为责罚,或为润地, 或为施行慈爱。
14 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
约伯啊,你要留心听, 要站立思想 神奇妙的作为。
15 Do you know when God places them, And caused the light of His cloud to shine?
神如何吩咐这些, 如何使云中的电光照耀,你知道吗?
16 Do you know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
云彩如何浮于空中, 那知识全备者奇妙的作为,你知道吗?
17 How your garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
南风使地寂静, 你的衣服就如火热,你知道吗?
18 You have made an expanse with Him For the clouds—strong as a hard mirror!
你岂能与 神同铺穹苍吗? 这穹苍坚硬,如同铸成的镜子。
19 Let us know what we say to Him, We do not set in array because of darkness.
我们愚昧不能陈说; 请你指教我们该对他说什么话。
20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man has spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
人岂可说:我愿与他说话? 岂有人自愿灭亡吗?
21 And now, they have not seen the light, It [is] bright in the clouds, And the wind has passed by and cleanses them.
现在有云遮蔽,人不得见穹苍的光亮; 但风吹过,天又发晴。
22 It comes from the golden north, Fearful splendor [is] beside God.
金光出于北方, 在 神那里有可怕的威严。
23 The Mighty! We have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He does not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
论到全能者,我们不能测度; 他大有能力,有公平和大义, 必不苦待人。
24 Therefore men fear Him, He does not see any of the wise of heart.”
所以,人敬畏他; 凡自以为心中有智慧的人,他都不顾念。
