伯26:1 约伯回答说:
伯26:1 Then Job made answer and said,
伯26:2 “无能力的,你怎样帮助他,膀臂无力的,你怎样拯救他!
伯26:2 How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
伯26:3 无智慧的,你怎样教导他,显明你丰盛的智慧!
伯26:3 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
伯26:4 你靠谁发言呢?谁的灵从你而出呢?
伯26:4 To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
伯26:5 阴魂和在水中居住的,都在水下痛苦不堪。
伯26:5 The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
伯26:6 阴间在 神面前赤露敞开,灭亡之处也没有遮盖。
伯26:6 The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil.
伯26:7 他把北极铺在空间,把地球挂在太空。
伯26:7 By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
伯26:8 他把水包在密云中,水下面的云却不破裂。
伯26:8 By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
伯26:9 他遮蔽自己宝座的正面,把云铺在上面。
伯26:9 By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
伯26:10 在水面划出界限,直到光与暗的交界。
伯26:10 By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
伯26:11 天的柱子都因他的斥责震动惊奇;
伯26:11 The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
伯26:12 他以能力搅动大海,以聪明击伤拉哈伯。
伯26:12 By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
伯26:13 他以自己的气使天晴朗,他的手刺穿逃跑的蛇。
伯26:13 By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
伯26:14 这些不过是他的作为的一点点,我们从他那里所听到的,是多么的微小!他大能的雷声谁能够明白呢?”
伯26:14 See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
