約伯記 Job

38:1	[hb5]	那時耶和華從旋風中回答約伯說、
	[kjv]	Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
38:2	[hb5]	誰用無知的言語、使我的旨意暗昧不明、
	[kjv]	Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
38:3	[hb5]	你要如勇士束腰．我問你、你可以指示我。
	[kjv]	Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
38:4	[hb5]	我立大地根基的時候、你在哪裡呢．你若有聰明只管說罷。
	[kjv]	Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
38:5	[hb5]	你若曉得就說、是誰定地的尺度．是誰把準繩拉在其上。
	[kjv]	Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
38:6	[hb5]	地的根基安置在何處．地的角石是誰安放的。
	[kjv]	Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
38:7	[hb5]	那時晨星一同歌唱、　神的眾子也都歡呼。
	[kjv]	When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
38:8	[hb5]	海水衝出、如出胎胞．那時誰將他關閉呢．
	[kjv]	Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
38:9	[hb5]	是我用雲彩當海的衣服、用幽暗當包裹他的布、
	[kjv]	When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
38:10	[hb5]	為他定界限、又安門和閂、
	[kjv]	And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
38:11	[hb5]	說、你只可到這裡、不可越過、你狂傲的浪要到此止住。
	[kjv]	And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
38:12	[hb5]	你自生以來、曾命定晨光、使清晨的日光知道本位．
	[kjv]	Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
38:13	[hb5]	叫這光普照地的四極、將惡人從其中驅逐出來麼。
	[kjv]	That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
38:14	[hb5]	因這光地面改變如泥上印印．萬物出現如衣服一樣。
	[kjv]	It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
38:15	[hb5]	亮光不照惡人、強橫的膀臂也必折斷。
	[kjv]	And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
38:16	[hb5]	你曾進到海源、或在深淵的隱密處行走麼。
	[kjv]	Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
38:17	[hb5]	死亡的門、曾向你顯露麼．死蔭的門、你曾見過麼。
	[kjv]	Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
38:18	[hb5]	地的廣大、你能明透麼．你若全知道、只管說罷。
	[kjv]	Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
38:19	[hb5]	光明的居所從何而至、黑暗的本位在於何處。
	[kjv]	Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
38:20	[hb5]	你能帶到本境、能看明其室之路麼。
	[kjv]	That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
38:21	[hb5]	你總知道、因為你早已生在世上、你日子的數目也多。
	[kjv]	Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
38:22	[hb5]	你曾進入雪庫、或見過雹倉麼。
	[kjv]	Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
38:23	[hb5]	這雪雹乃是我為降災、並打仗和爭戰的日子所預備的。
	[kjv]	Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
38:24	[hb5]	光亮從何路分開、東風從何路分散遍地。
	[kjv]	By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
38:25	[hb5]	誰為雨水分道、誰為雷電開路．
	[kjv]	Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
38:26	[hb5]	使雨降在無人之地、無人居住的曠野．
	[kjv]	To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
38:27	[hb5]	使荒廢淒涼之地得以豐足、青草得以發生。
	[kjv]	To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
38:28	[hb5]	雨有父麼、露水珠、是誰生的呢。
	[kjv]	Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
38:29	[hb5]	冰出於誰的胎、天上的霜、是誰生的呢。
	[kjv]	Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
38:30	[hb5]	諸水堅硬〔或作隱藏〕如石頭、深淵之面凝結成冰。
	[kjv]	The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
38:31	[hb5]	你能繫住昴星的結麼、能解開參星的帶麼。
	[kjv]	Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
38:32	[hb5]	你能按時領出十二宮麼、能引導北斗和隨他的眾星麼．〔星原文作子〕
	[kjv]	Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
38:33	[hb5]	你知道天的定例麼、能使地歸在天的權下麼。
	[kjv]	Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
38:34	[hb5]	你能向雲彩揚起聲來、使傾盆的雨遮蓋你麼。
	[kjv]	Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
38:35	[hb5]	你能發出閃電、叫他行去、使他對你說、我們在這裡。
	[kjv]	Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
38:36	[hb5]	誰將智慧放在懷中、誰將聰明賜於心內。
	[kjv]	Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
38:37	[hb5]	誰能用智慧數算雲彩呢、塵土聚集成團、土塊緊緊結連．那時、誰能傾倒天上的瓶呢。
	[kjv]	Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
38:38	[hb5]	見上節
	[kjv]	When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
38:39	[hb5]	母獅子在洞中蹲伏、少壯獅子在隱密處埋伏、你能為他們抓取食物、使他們飽足麼。
	[kjv]	Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
38:40	[hb5]	見上節
	[kjv]	When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
38:41	[hb5]	烏鴉之雛、因無食物飛來飛去、哀告　神．那時、誰為他預備食物呢。
	[kjv]	Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
