伯22

约伯记-Job 第 22 章

22:1	提幔人以利法回答说， And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
22:2	人岂能对神有益呢？明智的人只能有益于己。 Can a man of might be of any use to God? No, a man of insight is of use only to himself.
22:3	你为人公义，岂叫全能者喜悦？你行径完全，岂能使祂得利？ Is it a matter of delight to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it a gain to Him that you make your ways perfect?
22:4	岂是因你敬畏祂，祂就责备你，与你争讼么？ Is it because of your fear of Him that He reproves you, That He enters into judgment with you?
22:5	你的恶岂不是大么？你的罪孽岂不是没有穷尽么？ Is not your wickedness great, And is there no end to your iniquities?
22:6	因你无故强取弟兄之物作抵押，剥去贫寒人的衣服。 For you have taken pledges from your brothers without cause And stripped the naked of their clothing.
22:7	困乏的人，你没有给他水喝；饥饿的人，你没有给他食物。 You have not given water to the weary to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
22:8	有能力的人，就得有地土；尊贵的人，也住在其中。 And as for the man of power, the earth was his; And the man of honor dwelt in it.
22:9	你打发寡妇空着回去，你折断孤儿的膀臂。 You have sent away the widows empty, And the arms of the orphans have been crushed.
22:10	因此，有网罗环绕你，有恐惧忽然使你惊惶； Therefore snares are all around you; And sudden dread troubles you,
22:11	或有黑暗，以致你看不见，并有洪水淹没你。 Or darkness, so that you cannot see; And an abundance of waters covers you.
22:12	神岂不是在高天么？你看最高的星宿是何其高！ Is not God at the height of heaven? And look at the highest of the stars, how lofty they are!
22:13	你说，神知道什么？他岂能看透幽暗施行审判呢？ And you say, What does God know? Can He judge through the deep darkness?
22:14	密云将祂遮盖，使祂不能看见；祂在天的大圈上行走。 Thick clouds are a covering to Him, so He cannot see; And He walks upon the circle of the heavens.
22:15	你要依从古往的道路么？这道路是恶人所行的； Will you keep the old way, Which wicked men have trodden?
22:16	他们未到死期，就被攫去，他们的根基好像江河溃泻； Such were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured forth like a stream;
22:17	他们向神说，离开我们罢；又说，全能者能为我们成就什么呢？ Who said to God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty accomplish for us?
22:18	那知神以美物充满他们的房屋；但恶人的谋算离祂好远。 Yet He fills their houses with good things. But the counsel of the wicked is far from Him.
22:19	义人看见了就欢喜，无辜的人也嗤笑他们， The righteous see and rejoice, And the innocent deride them,
22:20	说，那些起来攻击我们的，果然被剪除，其余的都被火烧灭。 Saying, Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire has devoured.
22:21	你要与神亲善和好，福乐必因此临到你。 Be well disposed to Him and at peace with Him; By such, good will come upon you.
22:22	你当领受祂口中的教训，将祂的言语存在心里。 Receive instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart.
22:23	你若归向全能者，就必得建立。你若使不义远离你的帐棚， If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up. If you put injustice far away from your tents,
22:24	将你的金块丢在尘土里，将俄斐的金子丢在溪河石头之间， And place your gold nuggets in the dust And your gold of Ophir in the stones of the brooks,
22:25	全能者就必作你的金块，作你的宝银。 Then the Almighty will be your gold nuggets And precious silver to you.
22:26	那时你要以全能者为喜乐，向神仰起脸来。 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, And you will lift up your countenance to God.
22:27	你祷告祂，祂就听你；你也要还你的愿。 You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; And you will repay your vows.
22:28	你定意作何事，必然给你成就；亮光也必照耀你的路。 You will also decree something, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.
22:29	人使你降卑，你就说，必得高升！谦卑的人，神必然拯救。 When they cast you down, you will say, I am up! And the lowly person He will save.
22:30	人非无辜，神尚且搭救他；因你手中清洁，你必蒙拯救。 He will deliver him who is not innocent; Yes, you will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.
