| 約伯記-Job 第 4 章 |
| 4:1 | 提幔人以利法回答說， Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, |
| 4:2 | 人若試圖與你說話，你就厭煩麼？但誰能忍住不說呢？ If one attempts a word with you, will you be wearied by it? But who can refrain from speaking? |
| 4:3 | 看哪，你素來教導許多人，又堅固軟弱的手。 Indeed, you have instructed many, And you have strengthened the weak hands. |
| 4:4 | 你的言語曾把絆倒的人扶起；你又使彎曲乏力的膝穩固。 Your words have raised up him who was stumbling, And you have made the bowing knees firm. |
| 4:5 | 但現在禍患臨到你，你就厭煩；挨近你，你便驚惶。 But now it comes to you, and you are wearied by it; It touches you, and you are disturbed. |
| 4:6 | 你的倚靠，不是在於你敬畏神麼？你的盼望，不是在於你行徑純全麼？ Is not your fear of God your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope? |
| 4:7 | 請你追想，無辜的人，有誰滅亡？正直的人，在何處被剪除？ Remember now, who, being innocent, has ever perished? And where have the upright ever been cut off? |
| 4:8 | 按我所見，那些耕罪孽、種毒害的人，都照樣收割。 According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity And those who sow trouble reap the same. |
| 4:9 | 他們因神的氣而滅亡，因神的怒氣而消沒。 By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they are consumed. |
| 4:10 | 獅子的吼叫和猛獅的聲音盡都止息，少壯獅子的牙齒也都斷折； The roaring of the lion and the sound of the fierce lion And the teeth of the young lions are broken; |
| 4:11 | 壯獅因無獵物而死，母獅之子也都離散。 The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered. |
| 4:12 | 但有話暗暗的臨到我，我耳朵也聽到其細微的聲音。 But a matter has stolen in unto me, And my ear has received a whisper of it. |
| 4:13 | 在夜間異象的煩擾思念之中，當世人沉睡的時候， In perplexing thoughts of the night visions, When deep sleep falls upon men, |
| 4:14 | 恐懼、戰兢臨到我身，使我百骨戰抖。 Dread came upon me, and trembling, And caused all my bones to dread. |
| 4:15 | 有靈從我面前經過，我身上的毫毛直立。 And a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh bristled. |
| 4:16 | 那靈站住，我卻不能辨其形狀；有影像在我眼前；我聽見低微的聲音，說， It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; A form stood before my eyes; I heard a murmur of a voice: |
| 4:17 | 必死的人豈能比神公義麼？人豈能比造他的主潔淨麼？ Can a mortal man be more righteous than God? Can a man be purer than his Maker? |
| 4:18 | 祂的僕人，祂尚且不信任；祂的使者，祂也指責其謬誤； If He puts no trust in His servants, And He charges His angels with error, |
| 4:19 | 何況那些住在土房，根基在塵土裡，像蠹蟲被壓毀的人呢！ How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in dust, Who are crushed like a moth! |
| 4:20 | 他們在早晚之間，就被打碎，永遠滅亡，無人理會。 From morning to evening they are smashed to pieces; Without any considering it, they continually perish. |
| 4:21 | 他們帳棚的繩索從裡面一抽出，他們就死去，且是無智慧而死。 Should their tent cord be plucked up within them, They die, and not in wisdom. |
