| 36:1 | 以利戶又接着說、 | Elihu also proceeded, and said, |
| 36:2 | 你再容我片時、我就指示你.因我還有話為 神說。 | Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf. |
| 36:3 | 我要將所知道的從遠處引來、將公義歸給造我的主。 | I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. |
| 36:4 | 我的言語真不虛謊.有知識全備的與你同在。 | For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. |
| 36:5 | 神有大能、並不藐視人.他的智慧甚廣。 | Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. |
| 36:6 | 他不保護惡人的性命、卻為困苦人伸冤。 | He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. |
| 36:7 | 他時常看顧義人、使他們和君王同坐寶座、永遠要被高舉。 | He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. |
| 36:8 | 他們若被鎖鍊捆住、被苦難的繩索纏住. | And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; |
| 36:9 | 他就把他們的作為、和過犯指示他們、叫他們知道有驕傲的行動。 | Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. |
| 36:10 | 他也開通他們的耳朵得受教訓、吩咐他們離開罪孽轉回。 | He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. |
| 36:11 | 他們若聽從事奉他、就必度日亨通、歷年福樂。 | If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. |
| 36:12 | 若不聽從、就要被刀殺滅、無知無識而死。 | But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. |
| 36:13 | 那心中不敬虔的人、積蓄怒氣. 神捆綁他們、他們竟不求救. | But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. |
| 36:14 | 必在青年時死亡、與污穢人一樣喪命。 | They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. |
| 36:15 | 神藉着困苦、救拔困苦人、趁他們受欺壓、開通他們的耳朵。 | He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. |
| 36:16 | 神也必引你出離患難、進入寬闊不狹窄之地.擺在你席上的、必滿有肥甘。 | Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. |
| 36:17 | 但你滿口有惡人批評的言語.判斷和刑罰抓住你。 | But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. |
| 36:18 | 不可容忿怒觸動你、使你不服責罰.也不可因贖價大就偏行。 | Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. |
| 36:19 | 你的呼求、〔呼求或作資財〕或是你一切的勢力、果有靈驗、叫你不受患難麼。 | Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. |
| 36:20 | 不要切慕黑夜、就是眾民在本處被除滅的時候。 | Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. |
| 36:21 | 你要謹慎、不可重看罪孽、因你選擇罪孽、過於選擇苦難。 | Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. |
| 36:22 | 神行事有高大的能力.教訓人的、有誰像他呢。 | Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? |
| 36:23 | 誰派定他的道路.誰能說、你所行的不義。 | Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? |
| 36:24 | 你不可忘記稱讚他所行的為大、就是人所歌頌的。 | Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. |
| 36:25 | 他所行的萬人都看見、世人也從遠處觀看。 | Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. |
| 36:26 | 神為大、我們不能全知.他的年數不能測度。 | Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. |
| 36:27 | 他吸取水點、這水點從雲霧中就變成雨. | For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: |
| 36:28 | 雲彩將雨落下、沛然降與世人。 | Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. |
| 36:29 | 誰能明白雲彩如何鋪張、和 神行宮的雷聲呢。 | Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? |
| 36:30 | 他將亮光普照在自己的四圍.他又遮覆海底。 | Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. |
| 36:31 | 他用這些審判眾民、且賜豐富的糧食。 | For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. |
| 36:32 | 他以電光遮手、命閃電擊中敵人。〔或作中了靶子〕 | With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. |
| 36:33 | 所發的雷聲顯明他的作為、又向牲畜指明要起暴風。 | The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. |
