【约伯传】第四十一章 << 上一章下一章 >>

41:1 看，人的希望落了空，并且一见它就吓坏了。
Whoever might vainly hope to do so need only see him to be overthrown.

41:2 没有一个勇敢的人敢触犯它，有谁还敢站立在它前面呢﹖
Is he not relentless when aroused; who then dares stand before him?

41:3 谁攻击它，而能安全无恙﹖普天之下没有一人!
Who has assailed him and come off safe ? Who under all the heavens?

41:4 论它的四体百肢，我不能缄默；论它的力量，我要说：没有可与它相比的。
I need hardly mention his limbs, his strength, and the fitness of his armor.

41:5 谁能揭开它的外衣，谁能穿透它双层的鳞甲﹖
Who can strip off his outer garment, or penetrate his double corselet?

41:6 谁敢启开它嘴的双扉﹖它四周的牙齿，令人战栗。
Who can force open the doors of his mouth, close to his terrible teeth?

41:7 它的脊背排排盾甲，好象为石印所密封。
Rows of scales are on his back, tightly sealed together;

41:8 鳞甲片片相连，气也透不进去：
They are fitted each so close to the next that no space intervenes;

41:9 互相联结，黏在一起不相分离。
So joined one to another that they hold fast and cannot be parted.

41:10 它的喷嚏发出白光，眼睛象旭日闪动。
When he sneezes, light flashes forth; his eyes are like those of the dawn.

41:11 火把从它口中喷出，火花四射。
Out of his mouth go forth firebrands; sparks of fire leap forth.

41:12 烟从它鼻孔冒出，宛如燃烧沸腾的锅炉。
From his nostrils issues steam, as from a seething pot or bowl.

41:13 它的气息可点燃煤炭，火焰由它口中射出。
His breath sets coals afire; a flame pours from his mouth.

41:14 它的力量集中在它的颈上，在它前面，恐怖跳跃开道。
Strength abides in his neck, and terror leaps before him.

41:15 它的肌肉互相连结，紧贴它身，坚不可动。
His heart is hard as stone; his flesh, as the lower millstone.

41:16 它的心坚如石块，硬如磨盘。
When he rises up, the mighty are afraid; the waves of the sea fall back.

41:17 它一起立，壮士战栗，惊慌失措。
Should the sword reach him, it will not avail; nor will the spear, nor the dart, nor the javelin.

41:18 人若想捕捉它，刀、枪、箭、戟都是徒然。
He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.

41:19 它视铁如草芥，视铜若朽木。
The arrow will not put him to flight; slingstones used against him are but straws.

41:20 弓矢不能使它遁逃；机石打在它好似碎屑。
Clubs he esteems as splinters; he laughs at the crash of the spear.

41:21 它视棍棒象麦秸，对飞来的标枪冷笑。
His belly is sharp as pottery fragments; he spreads like a threshing sledge upon the mire.

41:22 它腹下有尖锐瓦片，它行路有如耙碾地。
He makes the depths boil like a pot; the sea he churns like perfume in a kettle.

41:23 它使深渊沸腾有如沸鼎，使海洋变成一个香炉。
Behind him he leaves a shining path; you would think the deep had the hoary head of age.

41:24 它游过之路发出银光，令人以为海洋飘舞白发。
Upon the earth there is not his like, intrepid he was made.

41:25 世上没有可与它相比的，它生性所惧。
All, however lofty, fear him; he is king over all proud beasts.

41:26 它卑视所有的巨兽，它在猛兽中称王。
