- 35:1 Then Elihu continued and said,
-
以利户继续说，
- 35:2 Do you consider this to be just, Do you say, My righteousness is more than God's,
-
你说，我的公义胜于神的公义；你以为这样说有理，
- 35:3 That you say, What advantage is there to me, What do I profit, more than if I had sinned?
-
所以才说，这与我有什么益处？我不犯罪比犯罪有什么好处？
- 35:4 I will respond to you with words, And to your companions with you.
-
我要用言语回答你，和在你这里的朋友。
- 35:5 Look unto heaven and see; And behold the skies: They are higher than you.
-
你当向天观看，瞻望那高于你的穹苍。
- 35:6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
-
你若犯罪，对神能造成什么妨碍？你的过犯增多，对神能作出什么损害？
- 35:7 If you are righteous, what can you give to Him, Or what does He receive from your hand?
-
你若是公义，能给祂什么？或者祂能从你手里接受什么？
- 35:8 Your wickedness affects a man like you, And your righteousness, a son of man.
-
你的邪恶只能害像你这样的人，你的公义只能叫世人得益处。
- 35:9 Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
-
人因多受欺压就哀求，因强权者的辖制便呼救；
- 35:10 But no one says, Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,
-
却无人说，造我的神在哪里？祂使人夜间歌唱，
- 35:11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?
-
教训我们胜于地上的走兽，使我们有智慧胜于空中的飞鸟。
- 35:12 There they cry, but He does not answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
-
他们在那里，因恶人的骄傲呼求，祂却不答应。
- 35:13 Surely God does not hear an empty cry, And the Almighty does not regard it.
-
虚妄的呼求，神必不垂听，全能者也必不理会。
- 35:14 How much less when you say that you do not behold Him, That the cause is before Him and you are waiting on Him!
-
何况你说，你不得见祂，你的案件在祂面前，你正等候祂！
- 35:15 But now, because He has not visited in His anger Nor regarded such great arrogance,
-
但如今因祂未曾在怒中查究，也不甚理会狂傲，
- 35:16 Job opens his mouth in vanity; He multiplies words without knowledge.
-
所以约伯开口说虚妄的话，多发无知识的言语。
