40:1

Respondens autem Dominus Job de turbine, dixit :

耶和華又對約伯說：

Moreover Yahweh answered Job,

40:2

Accinge sicut vir lumbos tuos : interrogabo te, et indica mihi.

強辯的豈可與全能者爭論嗎？與上帝辯駁的可以回答這些吧！

“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

40:3

Numquid irritum facies judicium meum, et condemnabis me, ut tu justificeris ?

於是，約伯回答耶和華說：

Then Job answered Yahweh,

40:4

Et si habes brachium sicut Deus ? et si voce simili tonas ?

我是卑賤的！我用甚麼回答你呢？只好用手摀口。

“Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

40:5

Circumda tibi decorem, et in sublime erigere, et esto gloriosus, et speciosis induere vestibus.

我說了一次，再不回答；說了兩次，就不再說。

I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”

40:6

Disperge superbos in furore tuo, et respiciens omnem arrogantem humilia.

於是，耶和華從旋風中回答約伯說：

Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind:

40:7

Respice cunctos superbos, et confunde eos, et contere impios in loco suo.

你要如勇士束腰；我問你，你可以指示我。

“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.

40:8

Absconde eos in pulvere simul, et facies eorum demerge in foveam.

你豈可廢棄我所擬定的？豈可定我有罪，好顯自己為義嗎？

Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

40:9

Et ego confitebor quod salvare te possit dextera tua.

你有上帝那樣的膀臂嗎？你能像他發雷聲嗎？

Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

40:10

Ecce behemoth quem feci tecum, foenum quasi bos comedet.

你要以榮耀莊嚴為妝飾，以尊榮威嚴為衣服；

“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.

40:11

Fortitudo ejus in lumbis ejus, et virtus illius in umbilico ventris ejus.

要發出你滿溢的怒氣，見一切驕傲的人，使他降卑；

Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

40:12

Stringit caudam suam quasi cedrum ; nervi testiculorum ejus perplexi sunt.

見一切驕傲的人，將他制伏，把惡人踐踏在本處；

Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.

40:13

Ossa ejus velut fistulae aeris ; cartilago illius quasi laminae ferreae.

將他們一同隱藏在塵土中，把他們的臉蒙蔽在隱密處；

Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.

40:14

Ipse est principium viarum Dei : qui fecit eum applicabit gladium ejus.

我就認你右手能以救自己。

Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

40:15

Huic montes herbas ferunt : omnes bestiae agri ludent ibi.

你且觀看河馬；我造你也造牠。牠吃草與牛一樣；

“See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.

40:16

Sub umbra dormit in secreto calami, et in locis humentibus.

牠的氣力在腰間，能力在肚腹的筋上。

Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.

40:17

Protegunt umbrae umbram ejus : circumdabunt eum salices torrentis.

牠搖動尾巴如香柏樹；牠大腿的筋互相聯絡。

He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

40:18

Ecce absorbebit fluvium, et non mirabitur, et habet fiduciam quod influat Jordanis in os ejus.

牠的骨頭好像銅管；牠的肢體彷彿鐵棍。

His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.

40:19

In oculis ejus quasi hamo capiet eum, et in sudibus perforabit nares ejus.

牠在上帝所造的物中為首；創造牠的給牠刀劍。

He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.

40:20

An extrahere poteris Leviathan hamo, et fune ligabis linguam ejus ?

諸山給牠出食物，也是百獸遊玩之處。

Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.

40:21

Numquid pones circulum in naribus ejus, aut armilla perforabis maxillam ejus ?

牠伏在蓮葉之下，臥在蘆葦隱密處和水窪子裏。

He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.

40:22

Numquid multiplicabit ad te preces, aut loquetur tibi mollia ?

蓮葉的陰涼遮蔽牠；溪旁的柳樹環繞牠。

The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.

40:23

Numquid feriet tecum pactum, et accipies eum servum sempiternum ?

河水泛濫，牠不發戰；就是約旦河的水漲到牠口邊，也是安然。

Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.

40:24

Numquid illudes ei quasi avi, aut ligabis eum ancillis tuis ?

在牠防備的時候，誰能捉拿牠？誰能牢籠牠穿牠的鼻子呢？
