伯15

约伯记-Job 第 15 章

15:1	提幔人以利法回答说， And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
15:2	智慧人岂可用虚空如风的知识回答，用东风充满肚腹呢？ Should a wise man answer with the knowledge of wind, And should he fill his belly with the east wind?
15:3	他岂可用无益的话，和无济于事的言语理论呢？ Should he argue with useless talk And with words by which he cannot avail?
15:4	你实在是废弃对神的敬畏，阻止在神面前的默想。 Indeed you do away with the fear of God And restrain meditation before God.
15:5	你的罪孽指教你的口，你选用诡诈人的舌头。 For your iniquity instructs your mouth, And you choose the tongue of the crafty.
15:6	你自己的口定你有罪，并非是我；你自己的嘴唇见证你的不是。 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; And your own lips testify against you.
15:7	你岂是头一个生下来的人么？你出生在诸山之先么？ Are you the first man born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
15:8	你曾听见神的密旨么？你还将智慧独归己有么？ Did you listen in on the secret council of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
15:9	你知道什么，是我们不知道的呢？你明白什么，是我们不明白的呢？ What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not with us?
15:10	我们中间有白发的，也有年纪老迈的，岁数比你父亲还大。 Both the grayheaded and the aged are among us, Older than your father.
15:11	神的安慰，和祂对你所说温和的话，你以为太小么？ Are the consolations of God too small for you, Or the word spoken gently to you?
15:12	你的心为何将你夺去？你的眼为何冒出火星， Why does your heart take you away? And why do your eyes flash,
15:13	使你的灵转而反对神，也任你的口发出这样的言语？ That you turn your spirit against God And let words go forth from your mouth?
15:14	人是什么，竟能成为洁净的呢？妇人所生的是什么，竟能成为义的呢？ What is man, that he can be clean, Or he who is born of a woman, that he can be righteous?
15:15	看哪，神不信靠祂的众圣者；在祂眼前天也不洁净。 Indeed, He puts no trust in His holy ones; Even the heavens are not clean in His eyes.
15:16	何况那可憎败坏，喝不义如水的人呢！ How much less one who is abominable and corrupt! How much less a man who drinks wrong like water!
15:17	我指示你，你要听我；我所看见的，我要述说， I will tell you; hear me; And what I have seen, that will I recount,
15:18	就是智慧人从列祖所受，传说而不隐瞒的； What wise men have declared, And have not hidden, from their fathers;
15:19	这地惟独赐给他们的列祖，并没有外人从他们中间经过； To whom alone the land was given, And no stranger passed in their midst:
15:20	恶人一生之日，劬劳痛苦；为强暴人积存的年日，都数算过了。 For all his days the wicked man travails in pain, And numbered years are stored up for the ruthless man.
15:21	惊吓的声音常在他耳中；在平安时，抢夺的必临到他。 The sound of terrors is in his ears; While he is at peace, the destroyer will come upon him.
15:22	他不信自己能从黑暗中转回；有刀剑窥伺等着他。 He does not believe that he will return from the darkness, And he is spied out for the sword.
15:23	他飘流在外求食，说，那里有食物呢？他知道黑暗的日子在他手边预备好了。 He wanders for bread-where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand.
15:24	急难窘困叫他害怕，而且胜了他，好像君王预备好上阵攻击一样； Distress and straits terrify him; They prevail against him, like a king prepared for the attack;
15:25	因为他伸手攻击神，逞强攻击全能者， Because he stretched out his hand against God, And against the Almighty he acted mightily,
15:26	挺着颈项，用盾牌的厚凸面，向全能者直闯； Running against Him with a stiff neck, With the thick bosses of his shield;
15:27	因为他的脸蒙上自己的脂油，腰上积满肥肉； Because he covered his face with his fatness And gathered fat upon his loins;
15:28	他住在荒凉的城邑，住在人不该居住、注定将成乱堆的房屋。 And he dwelt in desolated cities, In houses which should not have been inhabited, Which were appointed to become heaps.
15:29	他不得富足，财物不得常存，出产也不累垂于地。 He will not be rich, and his wealth will not endure; Nor will his produce bend down to the earth.
15:30	他不得离开黑暗；火焰要将他的嫩枝烧干，他要因神口中的气逝去。 He will not go away from darkness; The flame will dry up his shoots, And by the breath of His mouth he will go away.
15:31	愿他不信靠虚假，欺哄自己；因虚假必成为他的报应。 Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; For vanity will be his recompense.
15:32	他的日期未到之先，这事必成就，他的枝子不得青茂。 It will be fully paid before his day, And his branch will not be flourishing.
15:33	他必像葡萄树未熟的葡萄被打下，又像橄榄树刚开的花被摇落。 He will shake off his unripe grapes like a vine, And he will cast off his blossom like an olive tree.
15:34	因为不虔敬之辈必无生育，受贿赂之人的帐棚必被火烧； For the company of the profane will be barren, And fire will devour the tents of bribery.
15:35	他们所怀的是毒害，所生的是罪孽，心里所预备的是诡诈。 They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity, And their heart prepares deceit.
