约伯记 Job 11

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,
1 拿玛人琐法回答说，

2 "Shall a multitude of words go unanswered, and a talkative man be acquitted?
2 这许多的言语岂不该回答吗。多嘴多舌的人岂可称为义吗。

3 Shall your boasts silence men? And shall you scoff and none rebuke?
3 你夸大的话，岂能使人不作声吗。你戏笑的时候，岂没有人叫你害羞吗。

4 For you have said, 'My teaching is pure, and I am innocent in your eyes.'
4 你说，我的道理纯全，我在你眼前洁净。

5 But would that God might speak, and open His lips against you,
5 惟愿神说话，愿他开口攻击你。

6 And show you the secrets of wisdom! For sound wisdom has two sides. Know then that God forgets part of your iniquity.
6 并将智慧的奥秘指示你，他有诸般的智识。所以当知道神追讨你，比你罪孽该得的还少。

7 "Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?
7 你考察，就能测透神吗。你岂能尽情测透全能者吗。

8 They are high as the heavens, what can you do? Deeper than Sheol, what can you know?
8 他的智慧高于天，你还能做什么。深于阴间，你还能知道什么。

9 Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.
9 其量比地长，比海宽。

10 If He passes by or shuts up, or calls an assembly, who can restrain Him?
10 他若经过，将人拘禁，招人受审，谁能阻挡他呢。

11 For He knows false men, and He sees iniquity without investigating.
11 他本知道虚妄的人。人的罪孽，他虽不留意，还是无所不见。

12 An idiot will become intelligent when the foal of a wild donkey is born a man.
12 空虚的人却毫无知识。人生在世好像野驴的驹子。

13 "If you would direct your heart right and stretch out your hands to Him,
13 你若将心安正，又向主举手。

14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and do not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
14 你手里若有罪孽，就当远远地除掉，也不容非义住在你帐棚之中。

15 Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral blemish, and you would be steadfast and not fear.
15 那时，你必仰起脸来毫无斑点。你也必坚固，无所惧怕。

16 For you would forget your trouble, as waters that have passed by, you would remember it.
16 你必忘记你的苦楚，就是想起也如流过去的水一样。

17 Your life would be brighter than noonday; darkness would be like the morning.
17 你在世的日子要比正午更明，虽有黑暗仍像早晨。

18 Then you would trust, because there is hope; and you would look around and rest securely.
18 你因有指望就必稳固，也必四围巡查，坦然安息。

19 You would lie down and none would disturb you, and many would entreat your favor.
19 你躺卧，无人惊吓，且有许多人向你求恩。

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and there will be no escape for them; and their hope is to breathe their last."
20 但恶人的眼目必要失明。他们无路可逃。他们的指望就是气绝。
