约伯记 Job

11:1	[hgb]	拿玛人琐法回答说，
	[bbe]	Then Zophar the Naamathite made answer and said,
11:2	[hgb]	这许多的言语岂不该回答吗？多嘴多舌的人岂可称为义吗？
	[bbe]	Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?
11:3	[hgb]	你夸大的话，岂能使人不作声吗？你戏笑的时候，岂没有人叫你害羞吗？
	[bbe]	Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?
11:4	[hgb]	你说，我的道理纯全，我在你眼前洁净。
	[bbe]	You may say, My way is clean, and I am free from sin in your eyes.
11:5	[hgb]	惟愿神说话，愿他开口攻击你。
	[bbe]	But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;
11:6	[hgb]	并将智慧的奥秘指示你，他有诸般的智识。所以当知道神追讨你，比你罪孽该得的还少。
	[bbe]	And would make clear to you the secrets of wisdom, and the wonders of his purpose!
11:7	[hgb]	你考察，就能测透神吗？你岂能尽情测透全能者吗？
	[bbe]	Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?
11:8	[hgb]	他的智慧高于天，你还能做什么。深于阴间，你还能知道什么。
	[bbe]	They are higher than heaven; what is there for you to do? deeper than the underworld, and outside your knowledge;
11:9	[hgb]	其量比地长，比海宽。
	[bbe]	Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea.
11:10	[hgb]	他若经过，将人拘禁，招人受审，谁能阻挡他呢？
	[bbe]	If he goes on his way, shutting a man up and putting him to death, who may make him go back from his purpose?
11:11	[hgb]	他本知道虚妄的人。人的罪孽，他虽不留意，还是无所不见。
	[bbe]	For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it.
11:12	[hgb]	空虚的人却毫无知识。人生在世好像野驴的驹子。
	[bbe]	And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.
11:13	[hgb]	你若将心安正，又向主举手。
	[bbe]	But if you put your heart right, stretching out your hands to him;
11:14	[hgb]	你手里若有罪孽，就当远远地除掉，也不容非义住在你帐棚之中。
	[bbe]	If you put far away the evil of your hands, and let no wrongdoing have a place in your tent;
11:15	[hgb]	那时，你必仰起脸来毫无斑点。你也必坚固，无所惧怕。
	[bbe]	Then truly your face will be lifted up, with no mark of sin, and you will be fixed in your place without fear:
11:16	[hgb]	你必忘记你的苦楚，就是想起也如流过去的水一样。
	[bbe]	For your sorrow will go from your memory, like waters flowing away:
11:17	[hgb]	你在世的日子要比正午更明，虽有黑暗仍像早晨。
	[bbe]	And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning.
11:18	[hgb]	你因有指望就必稳固，也必四围巡查，坦然安息。
	[bbe]	And you will be safe because there is hope; after looking round, you will take your rest in quiet;
11:19	[hgb]	你躺卧，无人惊吓，且有许多人向你求恩。
	[bbe]	Sleeping with no fear of danger; and men will be desiring to have grace in your eyes;
11:20	[hgb]	但恶人的眼目必要失明。他们无路可逃。他们的指望就是气绝。
	[bbe]	But the eyes of the evil-doers will be wasting away; their way of flight is gone, and their only hope is the taking of their last breath.
