約伯記 Job

34:1	[hb5]	以利戶又說、
	[kjv]	Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
	[bbe]	And Elihu made answer and said,
34:2	[hb5]	你們智慧人、要聽我的話．有知識的人、要留心聽我說。
	[kjv]	Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
	[bbe]	Give ear, you wise, to my words; and you who have knowledge, give attention to me;
34:3	[hb5]	因為耳朵試驗話語、好像上膛嘗食物。
	[kjv]	For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
	[bbe]	For words are tested by the ear, as food is tasted by the mouth.
34:4	[hb5]	我們當選擇何為是、彼此知道何為善。
	[kjv]	Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
	[bbe]	Let us make the decision for ourselves as to what is right; let us have the knowledge among ourselves of what is good.
34:5	[hb5]	約伯曾說、我是公義、　神奪去我的理．
	[kjv]	For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
	[bbe]	For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right;
34:6	[hb5]	我雖有理、還算為說謊言的．我雖無過、受的傷還不能醫治。
	[kjv]	Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
	[bbe]	Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong.
34:7	[hb5]	誰像約伯、喝譏誚如同喝水呢。
	[kjv]	What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
	[bbe]	What man is like Job, a man who freely makes sport of God,
34:8	[hb5]	他與作孽的結伴、和惡人同行。
	[kjv]	Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
	[bbe]	And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners?
34:9	[hb5]	他說、人以　神為樂、總是無益。
	[kjv]	For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
	[bbe]	For he has said, It is no profit to a man to take delight in God.
34:10	[hb5]	所以你們明理的人要聽我的話．　神斷不至行惡、全能者斷不至作孽。
	[kjv]	Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
	[bbe]	Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong.
34:11	[hb5]	他必按人所作的報應人、使各人照所行的得報。
	[kjv]	For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
	[bbe]	For he gives to every man the reward of his work, and sees that he gets the fruit of his ways.
34:12	[hb5]	神必不作惡、全能者也不偏離公平。
	[kjv]	Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
	[bbe]	Truly, God does not do evil, and the Ruler of all is not a false judge.
34:13	[hb5]	誰派他治理地、安定全世界呢。
	[kjv]	Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
	[bbe]	Who put the earth into his care, or made him responsible for the world?
34:14	[hb5]	他若專心為己、將靈和氣收歸自己．
	[kjv]	If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
	[bbe]	If he made his spirit come back to him, taking his breath into himself again,
34:15	[hb5]	凡有血氣的就必一同死亡、世人必仍歸塵土。
	[kjv]	All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
	[bbe]	All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.
34:16	[hb5]	你若明理、就當聽我的話、留心聽我言語的聲音。
	[kjv]	If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
	[bbe]	If you are wise, take note of this; give ear to the voice of my words.
34:17	[hb5]	難道恨惡公平的、可以掌權麼．那有公義的、有大能的、豈可定他有罪麼。
	[kjv]	Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
	[bbe]	How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?
34:18	[hb5]	他對君王說、你是鄙陋的、對貴臣說、你是邪惡的。
	[kjv]	Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
	[bbe]	He who says to a king, You are an evil-doer; and to rulers, You are sinners;
34:19	[hb5]	他待王子不徇情面、也不看重富足的過於貧窮的．因為都是他手所造。
	[kjv]	How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
	[bbe]	Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.
34:20	[hb5]	在轉眼之間、半夜之中、他們就死亡．百姓被震動而去世、有權力的被奪去非借人手。
	[kjv]	In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
	[bbe]	Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.
34:21	[hb5]	神注目觀看人的道路、看明人的腳步。
	[kjv]	For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
	[bbe]	For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps.
34:22	[hb5]	沒有黑暗、陰翳、能給作孽的藏身。
	[kjv]	There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
	[bbe]	There is no dark place, and no thick cloud, in which the workers of evil may take cover.
34:23	[hb5]	神審判人、不必使人到他面前、再三鑒察。
	[kjv]	For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
	[bbe]	For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.
34:24	[hb5]	他用難測之法打破有能力的人、設立別人代替他們。
	[kjv]	He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
	[bbe]	He sends the strong to destruction without searching out their cause, and puts others in their place.
34:25	[hb5]	他原知道他們的行為、使他們在夜間傾倒滅亡。
	[kjv]	Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
	[bbe]	For he has knowledge of their works, overturning them in the night, so that they are crushed.
34:26	[hb5]	他在眾人眼前擊打他們、如同擊打惡人一樣。
	[kjv]	He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
	[bbe]	The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers.
34:27	[hb5]	因為他們偏行不跟從他、也不留心他的道．
	[kjv]	Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
	[bbe]	Because they did not go after him, and took no note of his ways,
34:28	[hb5]	甚至使貧窮人的哀聲達到他那裡、他也聽了困苦人的哀聲。
	[kjv]	So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
	[bbe]	So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.
34:29	[hb5]	他使人安靜、誰能擾亂〔或作定罪〕呢、他掩面誰能見他呢．無論待一國、或一人都是如此．
	[kjv]	When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
	[bbe]	...
34:30	[hb5]	使不虔敬的人不得作王、免得有人牢籠百姓。
	[kjv]	That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
	[bbe]	...
34:31	[hb5]	有誰對　神說、我受了責罰、不再犯罪．
	[kjv]	Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
	[bbe]	...
34:32	[hb5]	我所看不明的、求你指教我．我若作了孽、必不再作。
	[kjv]	That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
	[bbe]	...
34:33	[hb5]	他施行報應、豈要隨你的心願、叫你推辭不受麼。選定的、是你、不是我．你所知道的只管說罷。
	[kjv]	Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
	[bbe]	...
34:34	[hb5]	明理的人、和聽我話的智慧人、必對我說、
	[kjv]	Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
	[bbe]	Men of knowledge, and all wise men, hearing me, will say,
34:35	[hb5]	約伯說話沒有知識、言語中毫無智慧。
	[kjv]	Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
	[bbe]	Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.
34:36	[hb5]	願約伯被試驗到底、因他回答像惡人一樣。
	[kjv]	My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
	[bbe]	May Job be tested to the end, because his answers have been like those of evil men.
34:37	[hb5]	他在罪上又加悖逆．在我們中間拍手、用許多言語輕慢　神。
	[kjv]	For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
	[bbe]	For in addition to his sin, he is uncontrolled in heart; before our eyes he makes sport of God, increasing his words against him.
