【约伯传】第三十三章 << 上一章下一章 >>

33:1 约伯，请你且听我的话，侧耳静听我说的一切。
Therefore, O Job, hear my discourse, and hearken to all my words.

33:2 请看，我已开口，舌头已在口腔内发言。
Behold, now I open my mouth; my tongue and my voice form words.

33:3 我的的口要说出真知的话，我的唇舌要清楚说明。
I will state directly what is in my mind, my lips shall utter knowledge sincerely;

33:4 天主的神造了我，全能者的气息使我生活。
For the spirit of God has made me, the breath of the Almighty keeps me alive.

33:5 你如果能够，就回答我，请准备好，来对抗我。
If you are able, refute me; draw up your arguments and stand forth.

33:6 看，我与你在天主前都是一样，我也是用泥土造成的。
Behold I, like yourself, have been taken from the same clay by God.

33:7 所以我的威吓不会使你恐怖，我的手也不会重压在你身上。
Therefore no fear of me should dismay you, nor should my presence weigh heavily upon you.

33:8 你所说的，我已耳闻，听到了你所说的话：「
But you have said in my hearing, as I listened to the sound of your words:

33:9 我本纯洁无罪，清白无瑕。
"I am clean and without transgression; I am innocent; there is no guilt in me.

33:10 但天主却在我身上找错，视我为他的对头；
Yet he invents pretexts against me and reckons me as his enemy.

33:11 他把我的脚缚在木桩上，窥察我的一切行动。」
He puts my feet in the stocks; he watches all my ways!"

33:12 我答复你说：你这话说的不对，因为天主远超世人。
In this you are not just, let me tell you; for God is greater than man.

33:13 他既不答复你说的一切话，你为何还同他争辩﹖
Why, then, do you make complaint against him that he gives no account of his doings?

33:14 原来天主用一种方法向人讲话，人若不理会，他再用另一种方法：
For God does speak, perhaps once, or even twice, though one perceive it not.

33:15 天主有时借梦和夜间的异象，当人躺在床上沉睡的时候，
In a dream, in a vision of the night, (when deep sleep falls upon men) as they slumber in their beds,

33:16 开启人的听觉，用异象惊吓他，
It is then he opens the ears of men and as a warning to them, terrifies them;

33:17 使人脱离恶念，使人铲除骄傲，
By turning man from evil and keeping pride away from him,

33:18 阻拦他陷于阴府，救他的性命脱离沟壑。
He withholds his soul from the pit and his life from passing to the grave.

33:19 天主也有时惩罚人在床上受痛苦，使他的骨头不断地战栗，
Or a man is chastened on his bed by pain and unceasing suffering within his frame,

33:20 以致他讨厌食物，他的心厌恶美味。
So that to his appetite food becomes repulsive, and his senses reject the choicest nourishment.

33:21 他身上的肉已消逝不见，他深藏的骨头，已开始外露。
His flesh is wasted so that it cannot be seen, and his bones, once invisible, appear;

33:22 他的灵魂已临近墓穴，他的生命已接近死亡之所。
His soul draws near to the pit, his life to the place of the dead.

33:23 一千天使中，若有一个在他身傍，作他的代言人，提醒人应行的义务，
If then there be for him an angel, one out of a thousand, a mediator, To show him what is right for him and bring the man back to justice,

33:24 而怜悯他，为他转求说：「求你拯救他免陷于阴府，因为我已找到赎他性命的赎金。」
He will take pity on him and say, "Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found him a ransom."

33:25 他的肉身比少年人的肉身必更健美，他必恢复他的青春岁月。
Then his flesh shall become soft as a boy’s; he shall be again as in the days of his youth.

33:26 他祈求天主，必获得悦纳。他必欢然得见天主的仪容，天主也必恢复此人的正义。
He shall pray and God will favor him; he shall see God’s face with rejoicing.

33:27 那时，他将在人前重述所经历的事说：「我犯了罪，颠倒了是非，但他没有照我的罪罚我。
He shall sing before men and say, "I sinned and did wrong, yet he has not punished me accordingly.

33:28 他救了我性命脱离沟壑，使我生活重见光明。」
He delivered my soul from passing to the pit, and I behold the light of life."

33:29 看，这全是天主接二连三对人所做的事，
Lo, all these things God does, twice, or thrice, for a man,

33:30 挽救他脱离阴府，重见重生之光。
Bringing back his soul from the pit to the light, in the land of the living.

33:31 约伯啊!请留神倾听，静静地听我说话!
Be attentive, O Job; listen to me! Be silent and I will speak.

33:32 你若有话说，请即回复我，你尽管说，因为我愿听你的理。
If you have aught to say, then answer me. Speak out! I should like to see you justified.

33:33 若没有话，且听我说，静听我要教给你的智慧。
If not, then do you listen to me; be silent while I teach you wisdom.
