| 約伯傳 | Job |
|---|---|
| 1因為約伯自以為義，那三個友人就不再回答他。 | 1The three men made no further reply to Job, because in their opinion, he was guiltless. |
| 2那時，有個布次蘭族的人，他是巴辣革耳的兒子厄里烏，為了約伯在天主前自以為義人，便大為憤怒； | 2But Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became angry with Job for justifying himself before God. |
| 3同時也對約伯的三個友人大為震怒，因為他們找不到適當的答覆，又以天主為不公。 | 3He was also angry with the three friends for their failure to refute Job, because they had allowed God to be condemned. |
| 4厄里烏先等他們同約伯講完話，因為他們都比他年老。 | 4Because they were older than he, Elihu had bided his time; |
| 5他一見他們三人無話可說，遂大為憤怒。 | 5but when the three gave up the argument, his anger burst out. |
| 6於是布次人巴辣革耳的兒子厄里烏發言說：我年齡小，你們年紀大，故此我退縮畏懼，不敢在你們前表示我的見解。 | 6Thus Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite, spoke: I am young and you are quite old; therefore I was timid and afraid and dared not tell you of what I know. |
| 7我心想：「老人應先發言，年高者應教人智慧。」 | 7"Age should speak," I thought; "advanced years should teach wisdom." |
| 8但人本來都具有靈性，全能者的氣息賦與人聰明； | 8But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand. |
| 9並不是年高者就有智慧，老人就通曉正義。 | 9It is not the old alone who are wise, nor the aged who understand what is right. |
| 10故此我請你們且聽我說，我也要表示我的見解。 | 10Therefore I said: "Listen, let me also show my knowledge. |
| 11直到如今，我等待你們講話，靜聽你們的理論，等待你們尋出適當的言詞； | 11I waited for you to speak, listening for your reasons, as you searched for words. |
| 12但現今我已明白看出了，你們中沒一個能駁倒約伯，能回答他的話的。 | 12I gave you my full attention but none of you has proved Job wrong, none has refuted his arguments. |
| 13你們不要說：「我們尋到了智慧！只有天主可說服他，人卻不能。」 | 13Stop saying, "We have met wisdom; God has instructed us, not man." |
| 14我決不那樣辯論，也決不以你們說的話答覆他。 | 14I will not resume your argument or answer Job with your reasoning. |
| 15他們已心亂，不能再回答，且已窮於辭令。 | 15They keep quiet for they are dismayed and have nothing more to say. |
| 16他們已不再講話了，他們已停止，不再答話了，我還等什麼？ | 16Must I wait, now that they are silent, making no effort to reply? |
| 17現在我要開始講我的一段話，表示出我的見解。 | 17I, too, will show my knowledge. |
| 18因為我覺着充滿了要說的話，內心催迫着我。 | 18For I am full of words and prodded on by the spirit. |
| 19看啊！我內心像尋覓出口的新酒，要將新酒囊爆裂。 | 19I am like bottled-up wine, or a wineskin bursting with wine. |
| 20我一說出，必覺輕鬆，我定要開口發言。 | 20I have to speak to find relief, open my lips and make reply. |
| 21我決不顧情面，也決不奉承人。 | 21I will be partial to no one and will not flatter any man. |
| 22因為我不會奉承，不然，造我者必立即將我消滅。 | 22For if I were skilled in flattery, my Maker would soon do away with me. |
