約伯記 33
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

33 「約伯啊，請聽我言，
請留心聽我每一句話。
2 我要開口發言，
我話已在舌尖。
3 我的話發自正直的心，
我的口如實陳明道理。
4 上帝的靈創造了我，
全能者的氣賦予我生命。
5 如果你能，就反駁我，
站出來與我辯論。
6 在上帝面前，我與你無異，
也是泥土造的。
7 所以你不用懼怕我，
我不會對你施加壓力。

8 「你的話已進到我耳中，
我聽見你說，
9 『我純全無過，
我清白無罪，
10 上帝卻挑我的錯，
與我為敵；
11 祂給我戴上腳鐐，
鑒察我的一舉一動。』

12 「我來答覆你，你的話沒有道理，
因為上帝比世人大。
13 你為何向祂抱怨，
說祂不理會世人的話？
14 上帝一再用各種方式說話，
然而世人卻不明白。
15 人躺在床上沉睡時，
在夢境和夜間的異象中，
16 上帝開啟他們的耳朵，
用警告驚嚇他們，
17 使他們離開罪惡，
不再驕傲，
18 以免他們的靈魂墜入深坑，
他們的性命被刀劍奪去。

19 「人因受罰而臥病在床，
骨頭疼痛不止，
20 以致毫無食慾，
對佳餚心生厭惡。
21 他日漸消瘦，
只剩下骨頭。
22 他的靈魂臨近深坑，
他的生命瀕臨死亡。
23 如果一千天使中有一位能做他的中保，
指示他當行的事，
24 上帝[a]就會憐憫他，說，『別讓他下墳墓，
我已得到他的贖金。』
25 那時，他的皮肉將嫩如孩童，
他將恢復青春的活力。
26 他向上帝禱告時必蒙悅納，
他歡呼著朝見上帝，
再度被祂視為義人。
27 他會當眾歌唱說，
『我犯了罪，顛倒是非，
祂卻沒有按我的罪報應我。
28 祂救贖我的靈魂，使之免下深坑，
使我的生命得見光明。』

29 「看啊，這都是上帝的作為，
祂一次次地恩待世人，
30 從深坑救回人的靈魂，
使他沐浴生命之光。
31 約伯啊，留心聽我說，
不要作聲，我要發言。
32 你若有話，就答覆我；
你只管說，我願看到你的清白。
33 否則，請聽我言；
不要作聲，我要傳授你智慧。」

Job 33
New International Version

33 “But now, Job, listen(A) to my words;
    pay attention to everything I say.(B)
2 I am about to open my mouth;
    my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3 My words come from an upright heart;(C)
    my lips sincerely speak what I know.(D)
4 The Spirit(E) of God has made me;(F)
    the breath of the Almighty(G) gives me life.(H)
5 Answer me(I) then, if you can;
    stand up(J) and argue your case before me.(K)
6 I am the same as you in God’s sight;(L)
    I too am a piece of clay.(M)
7 No fear of me should alarm you,
    nor should my hand be heavy on you.(N)

8 “But you have said in my hearing—
    I heard the very words—
9 ‘I am pure,(O) I have done no wrong;(P)
    I am clean and free from sin.(Q)
10 Yet God has found fault with me;
    he considers me his enemy.(R)
11 He fastens my feet in shackles;(S)
    he keeps close watch on all my paths.’(T)

12 “But I tell you, in this you are not right,
    for God is greater than any mortal.(U)
13 Why do you complain to him(V)
    that he responds to no one’s words[a]?(W)
14 For God does speak(X)—now one way, now another(Y)—
    though no one perceives it.(Z)
15 In a dream,(AA) in a vision(AB) of the night,(AC)
    when deep sleep(AD) falls on people
    as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak(AE) in their ears
    and terrify them(AF) with warnings,(AG)
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
    and keep them from pride,(AH)
18 to preserve them from the pit,(AI)
    their lives from perishing by the sword.[b](AJ)

19 “Or someone may be chastened(AK) on a bed of pain(AL)
    with constant distress in their bones,(AM)
20 so that their body finds food(AN) repulsive
    and their soul loathes the choicest meal.(AO)
21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing,
    and their bones,(AP) once hidden, now stick out.(AQ)
22 They draw near to the pit,(AR)
    and their life to the messengers of death.[c](AS)
23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,
    a messenger,(AT) one out of a thousand,
    sent to tell them how to be upright,(AU)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
    ‘Spare them from going down to the pit;(AV)
    I have found a ransom for them(AW)—
25 let their flesh be renewed(AX) like a child’s;
    let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(AY)—
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(AZ)
    they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(BA)
    he will restore them to full well-being.(BB)
27 And they will go to others and say,
    ‘I have sinned,(BC) I have perverted what is right,(BD)
    but I did not get what I deserved.(BE)
28 God has delivered(BF) me from going down to the pit,(BG)
    and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’(BH)

29 “God does all these things to a person(BI)—
    twice, even three times(BJ)—
30 to turn them back(BK) from the pit,(BL)
    that the light of life(BM) may shine on them.(BN)

31 “Pay attention, Job, and listen(BO) to me;(BP)
    be silent,(BQ) and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me;(BR)
    speak up, for I want to vindicate you.(BS)
33 But if not, then listen to me;(BT)
    be silent,(BU) and I will teach you wisdom.(BV)”

Job 33
New King James Version

Elihu Contradicts Job

33 “But please, Job, hear my speech,
And listen to all my words.
2 Now, I open my mouth;
My tongue speaks in my mouth.
3 My words come from my upright heart;
My lips utter pure knowledge.
4 (A)The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 If you can answer me,
Set your words in order before me;
Take your stand.
6 (B)Truly I am [a]as your spokesman before God;
I also have been formed out of clay.
7 (C)Surely no fear of me will terrify you,
Nor will my hand be heavy on you.

8 “Surely you have spoken [b]in my hearing,
And I have heard the sound of your words, saying,
9 ‘I(D) am pure, without transgression;
I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.
10 Yet He finds occasions against me,
(E)He counts me as His enemy;
11 (F)He puts my feet in the stocks,
He watches all my paths.’

12 “Look, in this you are not righteous.
I will answer you,
For God is greater than man.
13 Why do you (G)contend with Him?
For He does not give an accounting of any of His words.
14 (H)For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.
15 (I)In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
16 (J)Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
17 In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
18 He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from [c]perishing by the sword.

19 “Man is also chastened with pain on his (K)bed,
And with strong pain in many of his bones,
20 (L)So that his life abhors (M)bread,
And his soul [d]succulent food.
21 His flesh wastes away from sight,
And his bones stick out which once were not seen.
22 Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
And his life to the executioners.

23 “If there is a messenger for him,
A mediator, one among a thousand,
To show man His uprightness,
24 Then He is gracious to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down to the Pit;
I have found [e]a ransom’;
25 His flesh shall be young like a child’s,
He shall return to the days of his youth.
26 He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him,
He shall see His face with joy,
For He restores to man His righteousness.
27 Then he looks at men and (N)says,
‘I have sinned, and perverted what was right,
And it (O)did not profit me.’
28 He will (P)redeem [f]his soul from going down to the Pit,
And his life shall see the light.

29 “Behold, God works all these things,
Twice, in fact, three times with a man,
30 (Q)To bring back his soul from the Pit,
That he may be enlightened with the light of life.

31 “Give ear, Job, listen to me;
Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me;
Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, (R)listen to me;
[g]Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
