 ＱＴ：苦難練淨人成為精金（約伯記23：01—23：17）


[生命泉源]

23：01 — 約伯回答說：
Then Job replied:
23：02 — 如今我的哀告還算為悖逆；我的責罰比我的唉哼還重。
"Even today my complaint is bitter; his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
23：03 — 惟願我能知道在那裏可以尋見神，能到他的臺前，
If only I knew where to find him; if only I could go to his dwelling!
23：04 — 我就在他面前將我的案件陳明，滿口辯白。
I would state my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
23：05 — 我必知道他回答我的言語，明白他向我所說的話。
I would find out what he would answer me, and consider what he would say.
23：06 — 他豈用大能與我爭辯麼？必不這樣！他必理會我。
Would he oppose me with great power? No, he would not press charges against me.
23：07 — 在他那裏正直人可以與他辯論；這樣，我必永遠脫離那審判我的。
There an upright man could present his case before him, and I would be delivered forever from my judge.
23：08 — 只是，我往前行，他不在那裏，往後退，也不能見他。
"But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him.
23：09 — 他在左邊行事，我卻不能看見，在右邊隱藏，我也不能見他。
When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
23：10 — 然而他知道我所行的路；他試煉我之後，我必如精金。
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
23：11 — 我腳追隨他的步履；我謹守他的道，並不偏離。
My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.
23：12 — 他嘴唇的命令，我未曾背棄；我看重他口中的言語，過於我需用的飲食。
I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
23：13 — 只是他心志已定，誰能使他轉意呢？他心裏所願的，就行出來。
"But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? He does whatever he pleases.
23：14 — 他向我所定的，就必做成；這類的事他還有許多。
He carries out his decree against me, and many such plans he still has in store.
23：15 — 所以我在他面前驚惶；我思念這事便懼怕他。
That is why I am terrified before him; when I think of all this, I fear him.
23：16 — 神使我喪膽；全能者使我驚惶。
God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
23：17 — 我的恐懼不是因為黑暗，也不是因為幽暗蒙蔽我的臉。
 Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.

If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored:If you remove wickedness far from your tent
22：24 — 要將你的珍寶丟在塵土裏，將俄斐的黃金丟在溪河石頭之間；

then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you.

When men are brought low and you say, `Lift them up! 'then he will save the downcast.

He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."

 ＱＴ：推論的罪狀，直言不諱的定罪（約伯記22：01—22：20）


[生命泉源]

22：01 — 提幔人以利法回答說：
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
22：02 — 人豈能使神有益呢？智慧人但能有益於己。
"Can a man be of benefit to God? Can even a wise man benefit him?
22：03 — 你為人公義，豈叫全能者喜悅呢？你行為完全，豈能使他得利呢？
What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous? What would he gain if your ways were blameless?
22：04 — 豈是因你敬畏他就責備你、審判你麼？
"Is it for your piety that he rebukes you and brings charges against you?
22：05 — 你的罪惡豈不是大麼？你的罪孽也沒有窮盡；
Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless?
22：06 — 因你無故強取弟兄的物為當頭，剝去貧寒人的衣服。
You demanded security from your brothers for no reason; you stripped men of their clothing, leaving them naked.
22：07 — 困乏的人，你沒有給他水喝；飢餓的人，你沒有給他食物。
You gave no water to the weary and you withheld food from the hungry,
22：08 — 有能力的人就得地土；尊貴的人也住在其中。
though you were a powerful man, owning land-- an honored man, living on it.
22：09 — 你打發寡婦空手回去，折斷孤兒的膀臂。
And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless.
22：10 — 因此，有網羅環繞你，有恐懼忽然使你驚惶；
That is why snares are all around you, why sudden peril terrifies you,
22：11 — 或有黑暗蒙蔽你，並有洪水淹沒你。
why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.
22：12 — 神豈不是在高天麼？你看星宿何其高呢！
"Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!
22：13 — 你說：神知道甚麼？他豈能看透幽暗施行審判呢？
Yet you say, `What does God know? Does he judge through such darkness?
22：14 — 密雲將他遮蓋，使他不能看見；他周遊穹蒼。
Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.
22：15 — 你要依從上古的道麼？這道是惡人所行的。
'Will you keep to the old path that evil men have trod?
22：16 — 他們未到死期，忽然除滅；根基毀壞，好像被江河沖去。
They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood.
22：17 — 他們向神說：離開我們吧！又說：全能者能把我們怎麼樣呢？
They said to God, `Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?
22：18 — 哪知神以美物充滿他們的房屋；但惡人所謀定的離我好遠。
'Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things, so I stand aloof from the counsel of the wicked.
22：19 — 義人看見他們的結局就歡喜；無辜的人嗤笑他們，
"The righteous see their ruin and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,
22：20 — 說：那起來攻擊我們的果然被剪除，其餘的都被火燒滅。
`Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire devours their wealth.
省 思 語— 我是否承認神必然正確，而我的判斷有可能出錯？我在什麼時候會很輕易用神的話語作為論斷他人的尺規？
省 思 語— 判斷他人的時候，很容易犯下什麼錯誤？神會如何看待面對鄰舍的不幸而歡喜的態度呢？
省 思 語— 偽造友情比偽造鈔票更惡劣。
