36:1 |
以利户又接着说: Elihu also proceeded, and said, |
|
36:2 |
你再容我片时,我就指示你,因我还有话为神说。 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf. |
|
36:3 |
我要将所知道的从远处引来,将公义归给造我的主。 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. |
|
36:4 |
我的言语真不虚谎。有知识全备的与你同在。 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. |
|
36:5 |
神有大能,并不藐视人。他的智慧甚广。 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. |
|
36:6 |
他不保护恶人的性命,却为困苦人伸冤。 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. |
|
36:7 |
他时常看顾义人,使他们和君王同坐宝座,永远要被高举。 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. |
|
36:8 |
他们若被锁链捆住,被苦难的绳索缠住, And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; |
|
36:9 |
他就把他们的作为,和过犯指示他们,叫他们知道有骄傲的行动。 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. |
|
36:10 |
他也开通他们的耳朵,得受教训,吩咐他们离开罪孽转回。 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. |
|
36:11 |
他们若听从事奉他,就必度日亨通,历年福乐。 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. |
|
36:12 |
若不听从,就要被刀杀灭,无知无识而死。 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. |
|
36:13 |
那心中不敬虔的人积蓄怒气。神捆绑他们,他们竟不求救。 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. |
|
36:14 |
必在青年时死亡,与污秽人一样丧命。 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. |
|
36:15 |
神藉着困苦救拔困苦人,趁他们受欺压,开通他们的耳朵。 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. |
|
36:16 |
神也必引你出离患难,进入宽阔不狭窄之地。摆在你席上的必满有肥甘。 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. |
|
36:17 |
但你满口有恶人批评的言语。判断和刑罚抓住你。 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. |
|
36:18 |
不可容忿怒触动你,使你不服责罚。也不可因赎价大就偏行。 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. |
|
36:19 |
你的呼求(或作资财),或是你一切的势力,果有灵验,叫你不受患难吗? Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. |
|
36:20 |
不要切慕黑夜,就是众民在本处被除灭的时候。 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. |
|
36:21 |
你要谨慎,不可重看罪孽,因你选择罪孽,过于选择苦难。 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. |
|
36:22 |
神行事有高大的能力。教训人的有谁像他呢。 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? |
|
36:23 |
谁派定他的道路。谁能说:你所行的不义。 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? |
|
36:24 |
你不可忘记称赞他所行的为大,就是人所歌颂的。 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. |
|
36:25 |
他所行的,万人都看见,世人也从远处观看。 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. |
|
36:26 |
神为大,我们不能全知,他的年数不能测度。 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. |
|
36:27 |
他吸取水点,这水点从云雾中就变成雨。 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: |
|
36:28 |
云彩将雨落下,沛然降与世人。 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. |
|
36:29 |
谁能明白云彩如何铺张,和神行宫的雷声呢。 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? |
|
36:30 |
他将亮光普照在自己的四围。他又遮覆海底。 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. |
|
36:31 |
他用这些审判众民,且赐丰富的粮食。 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. |
|
36:32 |
他以电光遮手,命闪电击中敌人(或作中了靶子)。 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. |
|
36:33 |
所发的雷声显明他的作为,又向牲畜指明要起暴风。 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. |
