约伯记第34章

《圣经》约伯记-第34章

伯34:1 以利户又说：

†[吕]以利户又应时说：

†[思]厄里乌接着说：

†[当代]以利户继续说：

†[新译]以利户回答，说：

†[Wlb]以利户又曰、

†[Xdv]以利户继续说：

†[Kjv]Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

†[Nkjv]Elihu further answered and said:

†[BBE]And Elihu made answer and said,

†[GNT] You men are so wise, so clever; listen now to what I am saying.

†[NIV]Then Elihu said:

伯34:2 你们智慧人要听我的话；有知识的人要留心听我说。 (串)箴15:31-32

†[吕]“你们智慧人要听我的话语；你们有知识的人要侧耳听我；

†[思]你们有智慧的人，请听我言；你们明白人，请侧耳听我。

†[当代]“你们这些有智慧的人，听我说吧！

†[新译]“智慧人哪！你们要听我的话；有知识的人哪！你们要侧耳听我。

†[Wlb]尔哲人乎、其听我言、尔达人乎、侧耳而听、

†[Xdv]你们有智慧的人请听我的话；你们有知识的人请侧耳听我。

†[Kjv]Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

†[Nkjv]"Hear my words, you wise men; Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.

†[BBE]Give ear, you wise, to my words; and you who have knowledge, give attention to me;

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]Hear my words, you wise men; listen to me, you men of learning.

本会注释　　以利户开始把讲话的对象从约伯转到他所称的“智慧人”，或“明理的人”（第10节）。可能不只是三位朋友，还包括聚集在那里旁听的许多有影响的人物。

伯34:3 因为耳朵试验话语，好象上膛尝食物。 (串)伯12:11

†[吕]因为耳朵试验着话语，而上膛尝吃着食物。

†[思]原来耳朵是为辨别言语，有如口腔是为辨尝食物。

†[当代]耳朵判别说话的真假，就像舌头辨别食物的味道一样。

†[新译]因为耳朵试验言语，好像上膛尝试食物。

†[Wlb]盖耳之察言、犹口之尝食、

†[Xdv]耳朵辨别话语，正如舌头品尝食物。

†[Kjv]For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

†[Nkjv]For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food.

†[BBE]For words are tested by the ear, as food is tasted by the mouth.

†[GNT] You know good food when you taste it, but not wise words when you hear them.

†[NIV]For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food.

本会注释　　参伯12:11。以利户竭力呼吁听众要有属灵的辨别力。他要他们把他的立场与约伯的立场进行比较，并认识到他观点的优越性。

伯34:4 我们当选择何为是，彼此知道何为善。 (串)帖前5:21-22

†[吕]什么事正当、我们要自己选择；什么事妥善、你我之间要知道。

†[思]让我们来检讨一下谁为正义，让我们看看何者为善。

†[当代]我们也应该为自己选择正确的路、向善之途。

†[新译]我们要选择何为是，让我们彼此知道何为善。

†[Wlb]我侪当择其正、共喻其善、

†[Xdv]那么，是非由我们自己判断；善恶由我们自己决定。

†[Kjv]Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.

†[Nkjv]Let us choose justice for ourselves; Let us know among ourselves what is good.

†[BBE]Let us make the decision for ourselves as to what is right; let us have the knowledge among ourselves of what is good.

†[GNT] It is up to us to decide the case.

†[NIV]Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

本会注释　　本节是以利户的呼吁，要在各种矛盾的观点和意见中去发现真理。

伯34:5 约伯曾说：我是公义，上帝夺去我的理； (串)伯27:2

†[吕]因为约伯曾说：‘我理直；上帝却把我的理直夺了去；

†[思]约伯说过：“我是无罪的，但我的理，却为天主夺去。

†[当代]约伯曾经说过：‘我是清白无辜的，但上帝却不以为然。

†[新译]约伯说：‘我是有理的，　神却夺去我的公理；

†[Wlb]约伯尝曰、我乃义、而上帝夺我理、

†[Xdv]乔布说他自己没有过失，而是上帝剥夺了他申辩的机会。

†[Kjv]For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

†[Nkjv]"For Job has said, "I am righteous, But God has taken away my justice;

†[BBE]For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right;

†[GNT] Job claims that he is innocent, that God refuses to give him justice.

†[NIV]Job says, 'I am innocent, but God denies me justice.

本会注释　　5-9节里回顾了约伯对上帝的指控。以利户说约伯控告上帝使他受苦，尽管他是个义人。这实际上是约伯问题的所在。他不能把自己的不幸与他行义的感觉混为一谈。

伯34:6 我虽有理，还算为说谎言的；我虽无过，受的伤还不能医治。 (串)伯33:9

†[吕]我虽理直，却被看为撒谎者；我虽没有过犯，我受的箭伤却无法医治。’

†[思]我虽无罪无辜，却成了说谎者；我虽未行不义，却受了不可医治的创伤。”

†[当代]我虽然有道理，却被人认为是在撒谎。我虽然没有犯罪，却受到重罚。’

†[新译]我虽然有公理，却被认为是说谎的；我虽然毫无过犯，我所受的箭伤却无法医治。’

†[Wlb]我虽直、而视我为诳、虽无过、而我创不可疗、

†[Xdv]他问：我怎能撒谎承认自己有错呢？我无辜，但我受了致命的伤害。

†[Kjv]Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.

†[Nkjv]Should I lie concerning my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.'

†[BBE]Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong.

†[GNT] He asks, "How could I lie and say I am wrong? I am fatally wounded, but I am sinless."

†[NIV]Although I am right, I am considered a liar; although I am guiltless, his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.'

本会注释　　说谎言的。以利户在本节继续引用约伯的话：“我虽行义，在我为自己辩护时，仍算为说谎言的。我像恶人那样受惩罚，尽管我没有犯罪。”
　　伤。直译是“箭”。比喻受了上帝的箭伤。上帝使约伯受了致命伤，但他仍没有认识到自己违了什么罪。

伯34:7 谁象约伯，喝讥诮如同喝水呢？ (串)伯15:16

†[吕]谁作人像约伯，喝嗤笑如喝水呢？

†[思]那有一人像约伯，肆口漫骂如饮水？

†[当代]有哪一个像约伯那样大言不惭？我想他一定是长期与坏人为伍了，

†[新译]有哪一个人像约伯呢？他喝亵慢如同喝水，

†[Wlb]谁如约伯饮侮慢、如饮水、

†[Xdv]你们见过像乔布这样的人吗？他根本不尊敬上帝。

†[Kjv]What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

†[Nkjv]What man is like Job, Who drinks scorn like water,

†[BBE]What man is like Job, a man who freely makes sport of God,

†[GNT] Have you ever seen anyone like this man Job? He never shows respect for God.

†[NIV]What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water?

本会注释　　以利户觉得很难用语言来表达自己对约伯不敬虔的嫌恶。以利户认为约伯放纵不敬虔和指责，就像一个人喝水一样（见伯15:16）。

伯34:8 他与作孽的结伴，和恶人同行。 (串)本章36诗1:1

†[吕]他同作孽者结伴而行，他跟恶人一同走路。

†[思]他岂不是与作恶的人结夥，同坏人交结来往？

†[当代]－

†[新译]他与作孽的同伙，他与恶人同行。

†[Wlb]与作孽者为侣、与恶人同行、

†[Xdv]他喜欢跟邪恶人来往；他跟坏人结伙。

†[Kjv]Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.

†[Nkjv]Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?

†[BBE]And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners?

†[GNT] He likes the company of evil people and goes around with sinners.

†[NIV]He keeps company with evildoers; he associates with wicked men.

本会注释　　在本节中，以利户继续表达对于约伯不敬虔的担心。这只是以利户的看法，而不是约伯的实际行为。按照以利户关于上帝试炼人的理论，约伯一定是一个罪人。这一点他与其他三位朋友的看法是相同的。他认为约伯的不幸不管是试炼还是惩罚，都一定是罪有应得。

伯34:9 他说：人以上帝为乐，总是无益。 (串)伯21:15;35:3玛3:14

†[吕]因为他说：‘人乐于同上帝来往总是无益。’

†[思]他岂不是说过：“尽心悦乐天主，为人能有什么好处？”

†[当代]因为他说：‘为什么要浪费时间来讨上帝的欢喜呢？’”

†[新译]因为他说过：‘人讨　神的喜悦，对他并无益处。’

†[Wlb]彼云、人乐上帝、无所裨益、

†[Xdv]他说，顺从上帝的旨意对人有什么好处呢？

†[Kjv]For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

†[Nkjv]For he has said, "It profits a man nothing That he should delight in God.'

†[BBE]For he has said, It is no profit to a man to take delight in God.

†[GNT] He says that it never does any good to try to follow God's will.

†[NIV]For he says, 'It profits a man nothing when he tries to please God.'

本会注释　　见伯9:22。以利户对约伯的担心在本节达到了顶点。以利户认为，一个忠心侍奉上帝的人不可能不得到上帝的悦纳。他所引用的话实际上与约伯的原意不完全一致。约伯从来没有否认善有善报。他确实说过义人并不一定总是得到福气，恶人也不一定马上得到惩罚。但以利户的概括，和他的其他许多话一样，歪曲了约伯的真实态度（见伯17:9；21:9；28:28）。

伯34:10 所以，你们明理的人要听我的话。上帝断不至行恶；全能者断不至作孽。 (串)创18:25罗9:14

†[吕]“所以你们心里明理的人要听我；上帝（同词：屈枉）决不至于行恶，全能者断不至于不义。

†[思]为此，你们心地明白的人，请听我说，天主决不行恶，全能者决无不义！

†[当代]“你们这些明白事理的人听著：我们都知道上帝并不会犯罪，

†[新译]所以，明理的人哪！你们要听我的话，　神决不至作恶，全能者断不至行不义，

†[Wlb]故尔智者、其听我言、上帝决不为恶、全能者断不作孽、

†[Xdv]你们这些贤明人哪，请听我说：上帝会作恶吗？全能者会不公平吗？

†[Kjv]Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

†[Nkjv]"Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity.

†[BBE]Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong.

†[GNT] Listen to me, you men who understand! Will Almighty God do what is wrong?

†[NIV]So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.

本会注释　　以利户表述了他对于约伯立场的理解。现在他要听众注意他严肃的宣布：上帝是公义的。以利户关于上帝的话是对的，但解决不了目前的问题。他没有去面对现实情况，使之与上帝的公义协调起来，却把整个问题都归纳到上帝的主权上，所以是无济于事的。

伯34:11 他必按人所做的报应人，使各人照所行的得报。 (串)诗62:12箴24:12耶17:10;32:19太16:27罗2:6启22:12

†[吕]因为他必须按人所作的报应人，使各人照所行的而得报。

†[思]他必照人的行为报答他，按他的品行对待他。

†[当代]祂却会惩罚犯罪的人；

†[新译]因为　神必照着人所作的报应他，使各人按照所行的得报应。

†[Wlb]乃必按人所为而报之、依人所行而施之、

†[Xdv]他按照人的行为施报应，按照人所应得的待他。

†[Kjv]For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

†[Nkjv]For He repays man according to his work, And makes man to find a reward according to his way.

†[BBE]For he gives to every man the reward of his work, and sees that he gets the fruit of his ways.

†[GNT] He rewards people for what they do and treats them as they deserve.

†[NIV]He repays a man for what he has done; he brings upon him what his conduct deserves.

本会注释　　这句话是对的（见罗2:6-10；林后5:10；启22:12）。它适用于人的全部行为和上帝对他的整个做法。但不能单看人一个阶段的生活，而要看他的全部生活。不能按一个人所遭遇的不幸，来判断他的品格。

伯34:12 上帝必不作恶；全能者也不偏离公平。 (串)伯8:3

†[吕]真地，上帝必不行恶，全能者必不颠倒（同词：屈枉）是非。

†[思]天主绝对不能作恶，全能者绝对不能颠倒是非。

†[当代]祂绝不会做邪恶的事，也一定不会歪曲正义。

†[新译]真的，　神必不作恶，全能者也必不颠倒是非。

†[Wlb]上帝诚不为恶、全能者必不背义、

†[Xdv]上帝绝对不做恶事；全能者绝对不颠倒是非。

†[Kjv]Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

†[Nkjv]Surely God will never do wickedly, Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

†[BBE]Truly, God does not do evil, and the Ruler of all is not a false judge.

†[GNT] Almighty God does not do evil; he is never unjust to anyone.

†[NIV]It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice.

本会注释　　见第10节。

伯34:13 谁派他治理地，安定全世界呢？ (串)伯38:4-7

†[吕]谁将地派给他管？谁把全世界交代他呢？

†[思]谁委派他掌管大地，谁任命他治理普世？

†[当代]只有祂才有管理大地和奠定世界公平的权力。

†[新译]谁派他管理大地？谁设立全世界呢？

†[Wlb]其治地之任、谁畀之、其理世之职、谁托之、

†[Xdv]上帝从谁领受权力吗？有谁委派他管理世界吗？

†[Kjv]Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?

†[Nkjv]Who gave Him charge over the earth? Or who appointed Him over the whole world?

†[BBE]Who put the earth into his care, or made him responsible for the world?

†[GNT] Did God get his power from someone else? Did someone put him in charge of the world?

†[NIV]Who appointed him over the earth? Who put him in charge of the whole world?

本会注释　　强调没有人能给上帝授权。上帝是创造主，是能力的泉源。

伯34:14 他若专心为己，将灵和气收归自己， (串)伯32:8

†[吕]他若将生气（原文：灵）收回于自己（原文：己心），将气息收拾归自己，

†[思]他若将自己的神魂收回，将气息复归于自己，

†[当代]如果上帝只为自己设想，把自己的灵和气息收回，一切有生命的也就消失，人类也要归回尘土。

†[新译]他若对人决心这样作，他若把灵与气收归自己，

†[Wlb]彼若定志为己、使神与气归之、

†[Xdv]如果上帝收回生命，如果他收回气息，

†[Kjv]If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

†[Nkjv]If He should set His heart on it, If He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,

†[BBE]If he made his spirit come back to him, taking his breath into himself again,

†[GNT] If God took back the breath of life,

†[NIV]If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath,

本会注释　　回顾祂在创造时所赐生命的气息（见创2:7）。

伯34:15 凡有血气的就必一同死亡；世人必仍归尘土。 (串)伯10:9诗104:29;146:4传12:7

†[吕]血肉之人就都一概气绝，人就仍归尘土。

†[思]所有血肉的人必都消灭，世人都要归于尘土。

†[当代]－

†[新译]有血肉生命的就都一同气绝身亡，世人都归回尘土。

†[Wlb]则凡有血气者必偕亡、世人咸归于土、

†[Xdv]所有活着的人都要消灭，必死的人都要归回尘土。

†[Kjv]All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

†[Nkjv]All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust.

†[BBE]All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.

†[GNT] then everyone living would die and turn into dust again.

†[NIV]all mankind would perish together and man would return to the dust.

本会注释　　以利户宣布上帝至高的权力。如果上帝有意，祂会立即把人消灭。无人能否认上帝这样做的权力。人是没有发言权的。作为至高之主，上帝有权祂在认为合适的时候让受造者受苦。

伯34:16 你若明理，就当听我的话，留心听我言语的声音。

†[吕]“你若明理，就请听这话；请侧耳听我话语的声音。

†[思]若你聪明，请听这事，侧耳倾听我的话。

†[当代]你们既然明白事理，就要听我说。

†[新译]你若明理，就请听这话，留心听我说话的声音。

†[Wlb]尔若有智、则当聆此、谛听我言、

†[Xdv]你若贤明，请听我说：请小心听我的话。

†[Kjv]If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

†[Nkjv]"If you have understanding, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words:

†[BBE]If you are wise, take note of this; give ear to the voice of my words.

†[GNT] Now listen to me, if you are wise.

†[NIV]If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say.

本会注释　　1-15节是说给旁观者的听的（第2节）。现在他直接对约伯说话。

伯34:17 难道恨恶公平的可以掌权吗？那有公义的、有大能的，岂可定他有罪吗？ (串)创18:25

†[吕]难道恨恶公平的、真地可以执政么？那有公义有大能的，你要断定他为恶么？

†[思]憎恨正义的，岂能掌权？而你竟敢定那至公义者的罪？

†[当代]要是上帝讨厌公平，祂又怎能管理万物呢？你竟敢谴责我们大能、公义的上帝吗？

†[新译]恨恶公平的真的可以掌权吗？那有公义与大能的，你定他为有罪吗？

†[Wlb]恶义者、岂得操权乎、秉公有能者、尔岂罪之乎、

†[Xdv]你要谴责公义的上帝吗？你以为他厌恶公道吗？

†[Kjv]Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?

†[Nkjv]Should one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn Him who is most just?

†[BBE]How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?

†[GNT] Are you condemning the righteous God? Do you think that [he ]hates justice?

†[NIV]Can he who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One?

本会注释　　以利户似乎指天上的政权。上帝是最高的统治者。祂不可能憎恶公平，喜欢不义。

伯34:18 他对君王说：你是鄙陋的；对贵臣说：你是邪恶的。 (串)出22:28

†[吕]他对君王说：‘你无赖！’对贵族说：‘你邪恶！’

†[思]他能称君王为歹徒，能称官吏为坏人。

†[当代]难道你敢判定这位称君王为鄙陋、称贵族为邪恶的上帝有罪吗？

†[新译]他不是对君王说：‘你是匪徒’，又对贵族说：‘你们是恶人’吗？

†[Wlb]谓君王曰、尔为鄙陋、谓侯伯曰、尔为邪恶、其宜乎、

†[Xdv]上帝能对君王说：你无赖！也能对贵族说：你邪恶！

†[Kjv]Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?

†[Nkjv]Is it fitting to say to a king, "You are worthless,' And to nobles, "You are wicked'?

†[BBE]He who says to a king, You are an evil-doer; and to rulers, You are sinners;

†[GNT] God condemns kings and rulers when they are worthless or wicked.

†[NIV]Is he not the One who says to kings, 'You are worthless,' and to nobles, 'You are wicked,'

本会注释　　以利户以地上的君王作为例证。君王手下的臣民尊敬他们，绝不会称他们为“鄙陋的”（希伯来语是beliyya`al，常译为“彼列”，意为“无用的人”），或“邪恶的”。

伯34:19 他待王子不徇情面，也不看重富足的过于贫穷的，因为都是他手所造。 (串)太22:16可12:14|伯31:15箴22:2

†[吕]他不徇王子的情面，也不重富人而轻贫寒；因为二者都是他手所造的。

†[思]他对权贵不顾情面，亦不重富轻贫，因为都是他一手造成的

†[当代]要知道祂从不理会人的身分怎样高贵，也不轻贫重富，无论贫富祂都是一视同仁。因为他们都是祂亲手创造的。

†[新译]他不徇王子的情面，也不看重富人过于穷人，因为他们都是他手所造的。

†[Wlb]况不偏视王公、不歧视贫富者乎、盖皆其所造也、

†[Xdv]他不偏袒统治者，也不看重有钱人而轻视穷人；因为人都是他亲手所造。

†[Kjv]How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

†[Nkjv]Yet He is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For they are all the work of His hands.

†[BBE]Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.

†[GNT] He does not take the side of rulers nor favor the rich over the poor, for he created everyone.

†[NIV]who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

本会注释　　他。君王和贵臣尚且得到尊敬，更何况创造君王和贵臣的上帝呢？
　　不看重。看重某人就是根据他的地位，财富等因素偏爱他（见利19:15；申1:17；16:19；代下19:7；徒10:34；罗2:11；加2:6；弗6:9；西3:25；雅2:1,9）。

伯34:20 在转眼之间，半夜之中，他们就死亡。百姓被震动而去世；有权力的被夺去非借人手。 (串)伯21:13|出11:4伯27:20;36:20|哀4:6但2:34;8:25

†[吕]一眨眼他们就死亡、于半夜中；平民被震撼而过去；有权势的被除灭、非借人手。

†[思]他们猝然在半夜死去，贵族能立即气绝逝世；他铲除权贵者，无须人手。

†[当代]他们转瞬便会消逝。在深夜里，无论大、小、贵、贱，他们就都死去，并不用借助任何人为的力量。”

†[新译]他们在半夜之中剎那之间死亡，平民因遭受震动而去世，有权势的被除灭非借人手。

†[Wlb]中夜俄顷之间、彼众死亡、庶民被震而逝、强者见逐、非假人手、

†[Xdv]人可能在夜间突然死去。上帝击打，把他们消灭了；他毫不费力地除灭强大的人。

†[Kjv]In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

†[Nkjv]In a moment they die, in the middle of the night; The people are shaken and pass away; The mighty are taken away without a hand.

†[BBE]Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.

†[GNT] We may suddenly die at night. God strikes us down and we perish; he kills the mighty with no effort at all.

†[NIV]They die in an instant, in the middle of the night; the people are shaken and they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.

本会注释　　半夜之中。指瞬间发生的灾难。疾病，地震，洪水，暴乱，火灾，意外事故等灾祸都潜伏在附近。它们往往在最意想不到的时刻，在“半夜之中”袭来，攻击穷人和富人。
　　非借人手。即不用人的手（见但8:25）。

伯34:21 上帝注目观看人的道路，看明人的脚步。 (串)诗33:14耶32:19|伯14:16;31:4

†[吕]“因为上帝的眼监视人所行的路，他看明人的脚步。

†[思]因为他的眼监视人的动作，观察他的行径。

†[当代]“上帝留心观察人类的情况，祂对他们的一举一动，都了如指掌。

†[新译]　神的眼看顾人的道路，察看他每一步，

†[Wlb]其目鉴人道途、观人步履、

†[Xdv]他观察每一个人的脚步；他监视人的行踪。

†[Kjv]For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

†[Nkjv]"For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.

†[BBE]For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps.

†[GNT] He watches every step we take.

†[NIV]His eyes are on the ways of men; he sees their every step.

本会注释　　以利户提出一种新的论点。他以上帝的无所不知来保证祂秉公行义。上帝知道每个人的能力，性情，环境和所受的诱惑。祂不会凭白让人受苦。

伯34:22 没有黑暗、阴翳能给作孽的藏身。 (串)伯3:5诗139:12|摩9:2-3

†[吕]没有黑暗没有漆黑能给作孽之人藏身。

†[思]没有黑暗，也没有阴影，可将作恶的人掩蔽。

†[当代]无论黑暗有多深，也不能帮助邪恶的人逃离上帝的视线，

†[新译]没有黑暗，又没有死荫的地方，可以给作孽的在那里藏身。

†[Wlb]无幽暗晦冥、俾恶人自匿、

†[Xdv]纵使是深沉的黑暗、死亡的阴影也无法藏匿罪人。

†[Kjv]There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

†[Nkjv]There is no darkness nor shadow of death Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

†[BBE]There is no dark place, and no thick cloud, in which the workers of evil may take cover.

†[GNT] There is no darkness dark enough to hide a sinner from God.

†[NIV]There is no dark place, no deep shadow, where evildoers can hide.

本会注释　　上帝的无所不知不仅可保护义人，而且使恶人害怕（见诗139:11；来4:13）。

伯34:23 上帝审判人，不必使人到他面前再三鉴察。 (串)伯14:3

†[吕]因为上帝不必给人定日期（传统：还［未］），让人到他面前去受审。

†[思]天主不必给人指定时间，为使人到他前去受审。

†[当代]所以，人不用等到犯了大罪才到上帝的面前接受审判。

†[新译]　神不必进一步鉴察人，使人到他面前去受审判。

†[Wlb]上帝于人、无庸再三思维、始令受鞫于其前、

†[Xdv]上帝用不着规定日期，叫人到他面前受审。

†[Kjv]For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

†[Nkjv]For He need not further consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment.

†[BBE]For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.

†[GNT] God does not need to set a time for us to go and be judged by him.

†[NIV]God has no need to examine men further, that they should come before him for judgment.

本会注释　　本节有多种解释。英文KJV版的意思是，上帝让一个人所受的，不会超过他的罪所当得的。另一种解释是：“上帝审判人不需要长期监察”。上帝一眼就能看出人的品性。还有一种解释是，“上帝审判人不需要花很长的时间”。人间的审判必须经过长期耐心的调查，但仍会经常出错。上帝不必如此。又有人解释为：“上帝审判人，并没有定下时间”（英文RSV版）。多了mo`ed（“时间”）一词。但这是不必要的，因为原文的意思已经很清楚了。

伯34:24 他用难测之法打破有能力的人，设立别人代替他们。 (串)伯5:9|诗2:9

†[吕]他不必侦察、就可打破有势力的人，设立别人去代替他们。

†[思]他粉碎权势者，无须审察，即刻能派定别人代替他们。

†[当代]祂不用查问便可捣碎那些有势力的人，祂又设立别人来代替他们的位置。

†[新译]他不必查究就可以打碎有权势的人，并且设立别人代替他们。

†[Wlb]彼折有能之辈、其术莫测、使他人代其职、

†[Xdv]他不要调查而夺去有权势者的职位，委派别人替代他们。

†[Kjv]He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.

†[Nkjv]He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry, And sets others in their place.

†[BBE]He sends the strong to destruction without searching out their cause, and puts others in their place.

†[GNT] He does not need an investigation to remove leaders and replace them with others.

†[NIV]Without inquiry he shatters the mighty and sets up others in their place.

本会注释　　用难测之法。或“不经调查”。上帝不必化时间去调查恶人的生活。上帝一眼就看出他们的全部言行，并立即采取措施（见诗75:7；但2:21）。

伯34:25 他原知道他们的行为，使他们在夜间倾倒灭亡。 (串)箴12:7

†[吕]所以他洞澈他们的行为，一夜之间就倾覆他们，使被压灭。

†[思]他原知道他们的行为，一夜之间将他们推翻消灭。

†[当代]祂监视他们的行为，祂可以一夜之间就推翻他们，把他们毁灭；

†[新译]他原来留心他们所行的，在夜间倾覆他们，他们就被压碎；

†[Wlb]彼原悉其所行、夜间倾之、使之灭亡、

†[Xdv]他明察他们的行为，一夜之间推翻扑灭他们。

†[Kjv]Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

†[Nkjv]Therefore He knows their works; He overthrows them in the night, And they are crushed.

†[BBE]For he has knowledge of their works, overturning them in the night, so that they are crushed.

†[GNT] Because he knows what they do; he overthrows them and crushes them by night.

†[NIV]Because he takes note of their deeds, he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.

伯34:26 他在众人眼前击打他们，如同击打恶人一样。

†[吕]他在万目睽睽之地批击他们、以代替批击恶人；

†[思]在众目昭彰之下，鞭打他们有如罪犯。

†[当代]祂又可以把他们当作恶人一样看待，在众人面前击打他们。

†[新译]他在观众面前击打他们，有如击打恶人一样；

†[Wlb]以之为恶、击之于众前、

†[Xdv]他在众目睽睽下鞭打他们，正像他惩罚罪人。

†[Kjv]He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

†[Nkjv]He strikes them as wicked men In the open sight of others,

†[BBE]The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers.

†[GNT] He punishes sinners where all can see it,

†[NIV]He punishes them for their wickedness where everyone can see them,

本会注释　　上帝在恶人的同胞面前公开惩罚他们。

伯34:27 因为他们偏行不跟从他，也不留心他的道， (串)撒上15:11|诗28:5赛5:12

†[吕]因为他们偏离了他，不留心于他的道路；

†[思]因为他们远离了他，不重视他一切的道，

†[当代]上帝这样做是因为他们不跟从祂，走离正轨，以致穷人的呼声传到祂那里。是的，祂听见了那些受压迫者的呼声。

†[新译]因为他们偏离正道不跟从他，也不留心他的一切道路，

†[Wlb]盖彼悖逆、不从上帝、不顾厥道、

†[Xdv]因为他们不跟从他，忽视他一切命令。

†[Kjv]Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:

†[Nkjv]Because they turned back from Him, And would not consider any of His ways,

†[BBE]Because they did not go after him, and took no note of his ways,

†[GNT] because they have stopped following him and ignored all his commands.

†[NIV]because they turned from following him and had no regard for any of his ways.

伯34:28 甚至使贫穷人的哀声达到他那里；他也听了困苦人的哀声。 (串)出3:7;22:23伯35:9|出3:7伯36:6

†[吕]致使贫寒人的哀叫达到于他；困苦人的哀叫他听见了。

†[思]致使穷人的哀号上达于他，使他听到了受苦者的哀求。

†[当代]－

†[新译]以致穷人的哀求达到他那里，他也垂听了困苦人的哀求。

†[Wlb]致令贫乏者之哀求、达于其前、受虐者之呼吁、为其所闻、

†[Xdv]他们迫使穷人向上帝呼求；上帝听到了他们求助的呼声。

†[Kjv]So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

†[Nkjv]So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him; For He hears the cry of the afflicted.

†[BBE]So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.

†[GNT] They forced the poor to cry out to God, and he heard their calls for help.

†[NIV]They caused the cry of the poor to come before him, so that he heard the cry of the needy.

本会注释　　以利户认为恶人是压迫者。关于这一点，约伯和他的朋友们互相指责和驳斥（见伯22:5-10；29:12）。

伯34:29 他使人安静，谁能扰乱（或作：定罪）呢？他掩面，谁能见他呢？无论待一国或一人都是如此

†[吕]他若静止不动，谁能嫌他不对呢？他若掩面，谁能见他呢？无论对国对人都是一样；

†[思]他若安息，谁敢骚扰？他若掩面，谁敢窥视？他对国对人都予以监视，

†[当代]但是，如果祂不动声息、保持缄默，又有哪一个能批评祂呢？祂还能阻止卑鄙的人获得政权，防止他们祸国殃民。”

†[新译]他若安静不动，谁能定他有罪呢？他若掩面，谁能定他有罪呢？无论对待一国或一人，都是这样。

†[Wlb]上帝安人、谁能罪之、上帝掩面、谁能觐之、于国于人皆然、

†[Xdv]上帝若不采取行动，谁能责怪他呢？如果他掩面不看，谁能得帮助呢？

†[Kjv]When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

†[Nkjv]When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him, Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?--

†[BBE]...

†[GNT] If God decided to do nothing at all, no one could criticize him. If he hid his face, we would be helpless.

†[NIV]But if he remains silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can see him? Yet he is over man and nation alike,

本会注释　　以利户强调上帝的无所不知。任何个人和民族都无法与上帝抗争。不论是祝福还是咒诅，上帝的做法都是有效的，无可辩驳的（见诗104:29；罗8:31-34）。

伯34:30 使不虔敬的人不得作王，免得有人牢笼百姓。

†[吕]好使不拜上帝的人不得作王，免得有人牢笼人民。

†[思]使凡欺压人民的，不得为王。

†[当代]－

†[新译]别让不敬虔的人作王，免得他危害人民。

†[Wlb]致不虔者、不得操权、免其罔民、

†[Xdv]人民能有什么作为好摆脱无法无天的统治者呢？

†[Kjv]That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

†[Nkjv]That the hypocrite should not reign, Lest the people be ensnared.

†[BBE]...

†[GNT] There would be nothing that nations could do to keep godless oppressors from ruling them.

†[NIV]to keep a godless man from ruling, from laying snares for the people.

伯34:31 有谁对上帝说：我受了责罚，不再犯罪；

†[吕]“有谁对上帝说过：‘我担受了责罚，我不再有败坏的行为了。

†[思]如果恶人向天主说：“我受了欺骗，以后不再作恶。

†[当代]“为什么没有人向他们的上帝呼求说：‘我们曾经犯罪，但我们不会再犯了’？

†[新译]有人对　神说：‘我忍受了管教，不再有败坏的行为了，

†[Wlb]有谁谓上帝曰、我既受责、不再犯罪、

†[Xdv]乔布啊，你曾向上帝承认过错，决意不再犯罪吗？

†[Kjv]Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

†[Nkjv]"For has anyone said to God, "I have borne chastening; I will offend no more;

†[BBE]...

†[GNT] Job, have you confessed your sins to God and promised not to sin again?

†[NIV]Suppose a man says to God, 'I am guilty but will offend no more.

本会注释　　本节提出了一个新的论点，似乎是为了让约伯谦卑下来。以利户认为，对于苦难的正确态度可以归纳为受苦者的四句话（第31,32节）。以利户希望约伯也作同样的表示，而不是为自己辩护，坚持认为自己无罪。以利户所提出的情感是高尚的，符合他受苦是试炼的观念。但他并不了解约伯受苦的真正原因。

伯34:32 我所看不明的，求你指教我；我若作了孽，必不再作？ (串)诗25:4,8,12;27:11;86:11;143:10

†[吕]我所看不明的、求你指教我；我若作了孽，我必不再作’。

†[思]我所看不透的，求你指教我；我若以前作了孽，不敢再做了。”

†[当代]或者说：‘我们不知道自己做了什么错事，但只要你告诉我们，我们就会立刻停止’？

†[新译]我所看不到的求你指教我，我若行了罪孽，必不再行’。

†[Wlb]我所不明、请尔示我、若曾行恶、不复为之、

†[Xdv]你有没有求上帝指出你的过错？你有没有答应不再作恶？

†[Kjv]That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

†[Nkjv]Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will do no more'?

†[BBE]...

†[GNT] Have you asked God to show you your faults, and have you agreed to stop doing evil?

†[NIV]Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again.'

伯34:33 他施行报应，岂要随你的心愿、叫你推辞不受吗？选定的是你，不是我。你所知道的只管说吧！ (串)伯33:32;38:4

†[吕]是不是他不随你心意施报应，你就拒绝、不承认所施行的呢？当决择的是你，不是我；你所知道的、你只管说吧。

†[思]他施行报应，岂应随你的心意？或者你能拒绝不受吗？决定的是你，而不是我！你若知道，尽管说罢！

†[当代]难道上帝要更改祂的正义来迎合你的要求吗？难道祂要改变宇宙的规律来适应你的幻想吗？答案实在是很明显的。

†[新译]　神会因你拒绝悔改，就遵照你的心意吗？要作抉择的是你，不是我，你所知道的，只管说出来吧。

†[Wlb]上帝之报、必徇尔意、而尔弗受乎、尔自择之、我不与也、如有所知、尚其言之、

†[Xdv]你既然反对上帝的作为，你能期待他做你所要求的吗？该决定的是你自己，不是我；你把你的想法告诉我们吧。

†[Kjv]Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.

†[Nkjv]Should He repay it according to your terms, Just because you disavow it? You must choose, and not I; Therefore speak what you know.

†[BBE]...

†[GNT] Since you object to what God does, can you expect him to do what you want? The decision is yours, not mine; tell us now what you think.

†[NIV]Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I; so tell me what you know.

本会注释　　有人把这句话解释为：“上帝施行报应，岂要随你的心愿？祂必须做你认为正确的事吗？这个问题与你有关，但与我无关；你必须自己作出决定，表达自己的看法。”本节似乎是为了呼吁约伯作出决定。根据以利户前面的话，他要约伯作出的决定是要他承认自己的罪，和上帝惩罚的公正，视自己的受苦为试炼。约伯迄今一直不肯违心作这样的承认。

伯34:34 明理的人和听我话的智慧人必对我说：

†[吕]心里明理的人必对我说，听我话的智慧人也必说：

†[思]但是心地聪明，具有智慧，且听我说话的人，必要对我说：“

†[当代]稍有智慧的人都会同意我的看法，认为你所说的话实在非常不智。

†[新译]明理的人必对我说，智慧的人要听我的话。

†[Wlb]有智之士、凡闻我言之达人、必谓我曰、

†[Xdv]任何聪明人都会同意；任何贤达人听了我的话都要说：

†[Kjv]Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.

†[Nkjv]"Men of understanding say to me, Wise men who listen to me:

†[BBE]Men of knowledge, and all wise men, hearing me, will say,

†[GNT] Any sensible person will surely agree; and the wise who hear me will say

†[NIV]Men of understanding declare, wise men who hear me say to me,

本会注释　　本节似乎是35节的引言。

伯34:35 约伯说话没有知识，言语中毫无智慧。 (串)伯35:16诗53:4

†[吕]‘约伯说话没有知识；他的话语不是谨慎说的。’

†[思]约伯所讲的话毫无知识，他的话全不明智。”

†[当代]－

†[新译]约伯说话毫无知识，他的言语没有智慧。

†[Wlb]约伯所言无知、其词不慧、

†[Xdv]乔布所说的是出于无知；他的话毫无意义。

†[Kjv]Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

†[Nkjv]"Job speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.'

†[BBE]Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.

†[GNT] that Job is speaking from ignorance and that nothing he says makes sense.

†[NIV]Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.'

本会注释　　以利户提醒约伯智慧人对他的看法，想让他自惭形秽。受名人歧视是最令人沮丧的。

伯34:36 愿约伯被试验到底，因他回答象恶人一样。 (串)本章8伯36:17诗1:1

†[吕]愿约伯被试验到底，因为他的答覆像奸恶人一样。

†[思]为此，约伯还要受彻底的究察，因为他的答覆好似出自恶人之口，

†[当代]你这样谩骂上帝，实在应该受到最严重的刑罚。

†[新译]但愿约伯被试验到底，因为他的回答像恶人一样。

†[Wlb]愿约伯被试至极、以其辩同于恶人也、

†[Xdv]把乔布的话细细思量，你会发觉他说话像作恶的人。

†[Kjv]My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.

†[Nkjv]Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost, Because his answers are like those of wicked men!

†[BBE]May Job be tested to the end, because his answers have been like those of evil men.

†[GNT] Think through everything that Job says; you will see that he talks like an evil man.

†[NIV]Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost for answering like a wicked man!

本会注释　　以利户认为约伯应该受更多的苦，来消除他所认为约伯的错误观念。这句话说得很粗鲁，和三个朋友相似。

伯34:37 他在罪上又加悖逆；在我们中间拍手，用许多言语轻慢上帝。 (串)结25:6

†[吕]他在罪上又加悖逆；他在我们之间拍掌嘲笑，加说许多话来轻慢上帝。”

†[思]因为他在罪上又加反叛，当着我们磨拳擦掌，讲出许多相反天主的话。

†[当代]现在，除了其他的罪以外，你还加上叛逆、狂傲和亵渎上帝。”

†[新译]他在自己的罪上又加过犯，在我们中间鼓掌嘲笑　神，用许多话敌对　神。”

†[Wlb]其罪之上、加以悖逆、在我侪中鼓掌、对于上帝、啧有烦言、

†[Xdv]他的反抗更增加他的罪过；他在大家面前侮辱上帝。

†[Kjv]For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

†[Nkjv]For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God."

†[BBE]For in addition to his sin, he is uncontrolled in heart; before our eyes he makes sport of God, increasing his words against him.

†[GNT] To his sins he adds rebellion; in front of us all he mocks God.

†[NIV]To his sin he adds rebellion; scornfully he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God."

本会注释　　拍手。表示愤慨，嘲笑和蔑视（见民24:10；伯27:23）。
