约伯记 Job

35:1	[hgb]	以利户又说，
	[bbe]	And Elihu made answer and said,
35:2	[hgb]	你以为有理，或以为你的公义胜于神的公义，
	[bbe]	Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,
35:3	[hgb]	才说这与我有什么益处。我不犯罪比犯罪有什么好处呢？
	[bbe]	What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?
35:4	[hgb]	我要回答你，和在你这里的朋友。
	[bbe]	I will make answer to you and to your friends:
35:5	[hgb]	你要向天观看，瞻望那高于你的穹苍。
	[bbe]	Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you.
35:6	[hgb]	你若犯罪，能使神受何害呢？你的过犯加增，能使神受何损呢？
	[bbe]	If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him?
35:7	[hgb]	你若是公义，还能加增他什么呢？他从你手里还接受什么呢？
	[bbe]	If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand?
35:8	[hgb]	你的过恶，或能害你这类的人。你的公义，或能叫世人得益处。
	[bbe]	Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.
35:9	[hgb]	人因多受欺压就哀求，因受能者的辖制（辖制原文作膀臂）便求救。
	[bbe]	Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.
35:10	[hgb]	却无人说，造我的神在哪里？他使人夜间歌唱。
	[bbe]	But no one has said, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night;
35:11	[hgb]	教训我们胜于地上的走兽，使我们有聪明胜于空中的飞鸟。
	[bbe]	Who gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven?
35:12	[hgb]	他们在那里，因恶人的骄傲呼求，却无人答应。
	[bbe]	There they are crying out because of the pride of the evil-doers, but he gives them no answer.
35:13	[hgb]	虚妄的呼求，神必不垂听。全能者也必不眷顾。
	[bbe]	But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;
35:14	[hgb]	何况你说，你不得见他。你的案件在他面前，你等候他吧。
	[bbe]	How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him.
35:15	[hgb]	但如今因他未曾发怒降罚，也不甚理会狂傲，
	[bbe]	And now ... ;
35:16	[hgb]	所以约伯开口说虚妄的话，多发无知识的言语。
	[bbe]	And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.
