約伯記 Job

12:1	[hb5]	約伯回答說、
	[kjv]	And Job answered and said,
	[bbe]	And Job made answer and said,
12:2	[hb5]	你們真是子民哪、你們死亡、智慧也就滅沒了。
	[kjv]	No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
	[bbe]	No doubt you have knowledge, and wisdom will come to an end with you.
12:3	[hb5]	但我也有聰明、與你們一樣．並非不及你們．你們所說的、誰不知道呢。
	[kjv]	But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
	[bbe]	But I have a mind as well as you; I am equal to you: yes, who has not knowledge of such things as these?
12:4	[hb5]	我這求告　神、蒙他應允的人、竟成了朋友所譏笑的．公義完全人、竟受了人的譏笑。
	[kjv]	I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
	[bbe]	It seems that I am to be as one who is a cause of laughing to his neighbour, one who makes his prayer to God and is answered! the upright man who has done no wrong is to be made sport of!
12:5	[hb5]	安逸的人心裡藐視災禍．這災禍常常等待滑腳的人。
	[kjv]	He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
	[bbe]	In the thought of him who is in comfort there is no respect for one who is in trouble; such is the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
12:6	[hb5]	強盜的帳棚興旺、惹　神的人穩固．　神多將財物送到他們手中。
	[kjv]	The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
	[bbe]	There is wealth in the tents of those who make destruction, and those by whom God is moved to wrath are safe; even those whose god is their strength.
12:7	[hb5]	你且問走獸、走獸必指教你．又問空中的飛鳥、飛鳥必告訴你．
	[kjv]	But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
	[bbe]	But put now a question to the beasts, and get teaching from them; or to the birds of the heaven, and they will make it clear to you;
12:8	[hb5]	或與地說話、地必指教你．海中的魚、也必向你說明。
	[kjv]	Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
	[bbe]	Or to the things which go flat on the earth, and they will give you wisdom; and the fishes of the sea will give you news of it.
12:9	[hb5]	看這一切、誰不知道是耶和華的手作成的呢。
	[kjv]	Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
	[bbe]	Who does not see by all these that the hand of the Lord has done this?
12:10	[hb5]	凡活物的生命、和人類的氣息、都在他手中。
	[kjv]	In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
	[bbe]	In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all flesh of man.
12:11	[hb5]	耳朵豈不試驗言語、正如上膛嘗食物麼。
	[kjv]	Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
	[bbe]	Are not words tested by the ear, even as food is tasted by the mouth?
12:12	[hb5]	年老的有智慧、壽高的有知識。
	[kjv]	With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
	[bbe]	Old men have wisdom, and a long life gives knowledge.
12:13	[hb5]	在　神有智慧和能力．他有謀略和知識。
	[kjv]	With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
	[bbe]	With him there is wisdom and strength; power and knowledge are his.
12:14	[hb5]	他拆毀的、就不能再建造．他捆住人、便不得開釋。
	[kjv]	Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
	[bbe]	Truly, there is no building up of what is pulled down by him; when a man is shut up by him, no one may let him loose.
12:15	[hb5]	他把水留住、水便枯乾．他再發出水來、水就翻地。
	[kjv]	Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
	[bbe]	Truly, he keeps back the waters and they are dry; he sends them out and the earth is overturned.
12:16	[hb5]	在他有能力和智慧、被誘惑的、與誘惑人的、都是屬他。
	[kjv]	With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
	[bbe]	With him are strength and wise designs; he who is guided into error, together with his guide, are in his hands;
12:17	[hb5]	他把謀士剝衣擄去、又使審判官變成愚人。
	[kjv]	He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
	[bbe]	He takes away the wisdom of the wise guides, and makes judges foolish;
12:18	[hb5]	他放鬆君王的綁、又用帶子捆他們的腰。
	[kjv]	He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
	[bbe]	He undoes the chains of kings, and puts his band on them;
12:19	[hb5]	他把祭司剝衣擄去、又使有能的人傾敗．
	[kjv]	He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
	[bbe]	He makes priests prisoners, overturning those in safe positions;
12:20	[hb5]	他廢去忠信人的講論、又奪去老人的聰明。
	[kjv]	He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
	[bbe]	He makes the words of responsible persons without effect, and takes away the good sense of the old;
12:21	[hb5]	他使君王蒙羞被辱、放鬆有力之人的腰帶。
	[kjv]	He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
	[bbe]	He puts shame on chiefs, and takes away the power of the strong;
12:22	[hb5]	他將深奧的事從黑暗中彰顯、使死蔭顯為光明。
	[kjv]	He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
	[bbe]	Uncovering deep things out of the dark, and making the deep shade bright;
12:23	[hb5]	他使邦國興旺而又毀滅．他使邦國開廣而又擄去。
	[kjv]	He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
	[bbe]	Increasing nations, and sending destruction on them; making wide the lands of peoples, and then giving them up.
12:24	[hb5]	他將地上民中首領的聰明奪去、使他們在荒廢無路之地漂流。
	[kjv]	He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
	[bbe]	He takes away the wisdom of the rulers of the earth, and sends them wandering in a waste where there is no way.
12:25	[hb5]	他們無光、在黑暗中摸索、又使他們東倒西歪、像醉酒的人一樣。
	[kjv]	They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
	[bbe]	They go feeling about in the dark without light, wandering without help like those overcome with wine.
