1 因此我心战兢,从原处移动。 "At this my heart pounds and leaps from its place. |
2 听阿,神轰轰的声音,是他口中所发的响声。 Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth. |
3 他发响声震遍天下,发电光闪到地极。 He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth. |
4 随后人听见有雷声轰轰,大发威严,雷电接连不断。 After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back. |
5 神发出奇妙的雷声,他行大事,我们不能测透。 God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. |
6 他对雪说,要降在地上,对大雨和暴雨也是这样说。 He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.' |
7 他封住各人的手,叫所造的万人,都晓得他的作为。 So that all men he has made may know his work, he stops every man from his labor. |
8 百兽进入穴中,卧在洞内。 The animals take cover; they remain in their dens. |
9 暴风出于南宫。寒冷出于北方。 The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds. |
10 神嘘气成冰。宽阔之水也都凝结。 The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen. |
11 他使密云盛满水气,布散电光之云。 He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them. |
12 这云是藉他的指引游行旋转,得以在全地面上,行他一切所吩咐的, At his direction they swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever he commands them. |
13 或为责罚,或为润地,或为施行慈爱。 He brings the clouds to punish men, or to water his earth and show his love. |
14 约伯阿,你要留心听,要站立思想神奇妙的作为。 "Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God's wonders. |
15 神如何吩咐这些,如何使云中的电光照耀,你知道吗? Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? |
16 云彩如何浮于空中,那知识全备者奇妙的作为,你知道吗? Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who is perfect in knowledge? |
17 南风使地寂静,你的衣服就如火热,你知道吗? You who swelter in your clothes when the land lies hushed under the south wind, |
18 你岂能与神同铺穹苍吗?这穹苍坚硬,如同铸成的镜子。 can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze? |
19 我们愚昧不能陈说。请你指教我们该对他说什么话。 "Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness. |
20 人岂可说,我愿与他说话。岂有人自愿灭亡吗? Should he be told that I want to speak? Would any man ask to be swallowed up? |
21 现在有云遮蔽,人不得见穹苍的光亮。但风吹过,天又发晴。 Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean. |
22 金光出于北方,在神那里有可怕的威严。 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty. |
23 论到全能者,我们不能测度。他大有能力,有公平和大义,必不苦待人。 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress. |
24 所以,人敬畏他。凡自以为心中有智慧的人,他都不顾念。 Therefore, men revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?" |
