约伯记第40章

《圣经》约伯记-第40章

伯40:1 耶和华又对约伯说：

†[吕]永恒主应时对约伯说：

†[思]上主又接着问约伯说：

†[当代]主又继续回答约伯说：

†[新译]耶和华又对约伯说：

†[Wlb]耶和华又谕约伯曰、

†[Xdv]上主继续对乔布说：

†[Kjv]Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

†[Nkjv]Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said:

†[BBE]...

†[GNT] Job, you challenged Almighty God; will you give up now, or will you answer?

†[NIV]The Lord said to Job:

本会注释　　本章1-5节是上帝对约伯说话过程中的一段插曲。上帝似乎给约伯一个机会，让他在这里表达完全的降服。

伯40:2 强辩的岂可与全能者争论吗？与上帝辩驳的可以回答这些吧！ (串)创43:14|伯33:13

†[吕]“好辩的哪可同全能者挑剔是非呢？谴责上帝的尽管回答呀。”

†[思]好辩之士，岂能同全能者辩论？非难天主的，请答覆这一切！

†[当代]“你是想与全能者争论吗？如果你要与上帝辩驳，就回答这些问题吧。”

†[新译]“挑剔是非的，怎能与全能者争辩呢？责备　神的，回答这个问题吧。”

†[Wlb]好驳折者、可与全能者争论乎、与上帝辩者、尚其答之、

†[Xdv]乔布啊，你向全能者抗辩；你跟上帝争论，现在你答复吧。

†[Kjv]Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

†[Nkjv]"Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer it."

†[BBE]Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all? Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"

本会注释　　上帝对约伯的提问围绕着四个动词：“争辩”，“指教”，“责备”和“回答”。约伯在伯38和39章中已听见一些深奥的问题。现在要直接问他。他这个挑剔和争辩的人，能否告诉上帝所有大自然的知识？鉴于前两章的启示，约伯的答案是明显的。这里要约伯为自己指教上帝的企图作辩护。撒但预言约伯会咒诅上帝。约伯没有那样做。但他对上帝说三道四是错误的。
　　约伯曾急于想与上帝争辩自己的案情。他觉得上帝不十分明白。现在上帝既已赐下祂智慧的新启示，就问约伯是否依然觉得自己有资格指控上帝。

伯40:3 于是，约伯回答耶和华说：

†[吕]于是约伯回答永恒主说：

†[思]约伯回答上主说：“

†[当代]约伯回答主说：

†[新译]于是约伯回答耶和华说：

†[Wlb]约伯对耶和华曰、

†[Xdv]乔布回答：

†[Kjv]Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

†[Nkjv]Then Job answered the LORD and said:

†[BBE]And Job said in answer to the Lord,

†[GNT] I spoke foolishly, Lord. What can I answer? I will not try to say anything else.

†[NIV]Then Job answered the Lord :

本会注释　　约伯一直想要有这样的机会——直接向上帝陈明自己的案情。这是他期待已久的。他会怎么做呢？

伯40:4 我是卑贱的！我用什么回答你呢？只好用手捂口。 (串)士18:19伯21:5;29:9箴30:32弥7:16

†[吕]“阿，我轻微，能答覆你其么？我只好用手捂口罢了。

†[思]看，我这么卑贱，我能回答什么？只好用手掩口。

†[当代]“我是这样的卑微，我又怎会懂得回答你的问题呢？我用手掩著嘴不说话。

†[新译]“我是微小的，可以回答你什么呢？我只好用手掩口。

†[Wlb]我乃微贱、何以答尔、惟以手掩口耳、

†[Xdv]上主啊，我说了无知的话，我还能说什么呢？我不敢再说了。

†[Kjv]Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

†[Nkjv]"Behold, I am vile; What shall I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth.

†[BBE]Truly, I am of no value; what answer may I give to you? I will put my hand on my mouth.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]I am unworthy-how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.

本会注释　　我是卑贱的。约伯没有按原来的希望，说自己是无辜的。他现在的回答是：“我是卑贱的”。上帝的启示完全改变了他对自己和对上帝的态度。凡对上帝有正确认识的人，都会有这种谦卑的态度。
　　我用什么回答你呢？曾急于向上帝陈述案情的约伯，现在无言以对。
　　手。参伯21:5；29:9。

伯40:5 我说了一次，再不回答；说了两次，就不再说。 (串)伯33:14诗62:11

†[吕]我说了一次，再不回答；说了两次，就不再说。”

†[思]我说过一次，再不敢重复；我再说一次：我不敢再说什么！”

†[当代]我已经说得太多了。”

†[新译]这说了一次，不再回答；说了二次就不再说。”

†[Wlb]我言之、一而再、不复答之、不复赘矣、

†[Xdv]我已经说了；我不再说。

†[Kjv]Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

†[Nkjv]Once I have spoken, but I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."

†[BBE]I have said once, and even twice, what was in my mind, but I will not do so again.

†[GNT] I have already said more than I should.

†[NIV]I spoke once, but I have no answer- twice, but I will say no more."

本会注释　　约伯在本节承认自己的理由完全没有价值。

伯40:6 于是，耶和华从旋风中回答约伯说： (串)伯38:1

†[吕]于是永恒主从旋风中回答约伯说：

†[思]上主由旋风中回答约伯说：

†[当代]主又再从旋风中对约伯说：

†[新译]于是耶和华从旋风中回答约伯说：

†[Wlb]耶和华自旋风中、谕约伯曰、

†[Xdv]于是，上主从旋风中向乔布讲话：

†[Kjv]Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

†[Nkjv]Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

†[BBE]Then the Lord made answer to Job out of the storm-wind, and said,

†[GNT] Then out of the storm the Lord spoke to Job once again.

†[NIV]Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:

本会注释　　约伯显然需要进一步的指教。上帝在旋风中继续说话。如果上帝是为了让约伯自卑，祂就不需要再说了。约伯已经承认了自己的卑微，并答应不再说什么。但上帝的主要目的不是要约伯为难，而是帮助他有新的感受。

伯40:7 你要如勇士束腰；我问你，你可以指示我。 (串)伯38:3|伯38:3;42:4

†[吕]“你要束腰如勇士；我问你，你要使我知道。

†[思]你要像勇士束好腰，我要问你，请指教我。

†[当代]“你要像个勇士鼓起勇气来预备战斗。我向你发问，你就要回答我。

†[新译]“你要如勇士束腰，我要问你，你要告诉我。

†[Wlb]束尔腰、如丈夫、我问尔、其答我、

†[Xdv]你要站起来，像一个有勇气的人；你要回答我问你的话。

†[Kjv]Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

†[Nkjv]"Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me:

†[BBE]Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

†[GNT] Now stand up straight and answer my questions.

†[NIV]Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.

本会注释　　见@伯38:3@注释。

伯40:8 你岂可废弃我所拟定的？岂可定我有罪，好显自己为义吗？ (串)伯32:2

†[吕]难道你真地要破坏我的权利（或译：否认我理直），定我为恶，以显自己为义么？

†[思]你岂能推翻我的评断，归罪于我，而自以为有理？

†[当代]你要用怀疑并谴责我的不公以表示你自己是公义的吗？

†[新译]你怎能废弃我所审断的？怎能定我为有罪，好显出你自己为义呢？

†[Wlb]尔欲废我所拟、罪我以义己乎、

†[Xdv]你想证明我不公道；你指责我不对而自以为有理吗？

†[Kjv]Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

†[Nkjv]"Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?

†[BBE]Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right?

†[GNT] Are you trying to prove that I am unjust - to put me in the wrong and yourself in the right?

†[NIV]Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?

本会注释　　你说我不公正吗？你为了给自己辩护，就指责我的作为吗？约伯几乎这样做了。

伯40:9 你有上帝那样的膀臂吗？你能象他发雷声吗？ (串)诗89:13赛63:12|伯37:4-5

†[吕]你有上帝那样的膀臂么？你能用他那样声音发雷霆么？

†[思]你的手臂岂能同天主的相比？你的声音，那能像雷鸣？

†[当代]你有上帝那样大的力量，你能像祂一样发出雷般的响声吗？

†[新译]你有　神那样的膀臂吗？你能用他那样的声音打雷吗？

†[Wlb]尔有臂若上帝乎、能如彼之发雷乎、

†[Xdv]你像我一样强大吗？你能像我一样发隆隆雷声吗？

†[Kjv]Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

†[Nkjv]Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?

†[BBE]Have you an arm like God? have you a voice of thunder like his?

†[GNT] Are you as strong as I am? Can your voice thunder as loud as mine?

†[NIV]Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his?

本会注释　　见申5:15；7:19；诗89:13；赛51:9。上帝在提醒约伯：指责上帝是愚昧之举，因为与上帝相比，他是多么软弱。约伯言行的方式，是根本无法与上帝相比的。

伯40:10 你要以荣耀庄严为妆饰，以尊荣威严为衣服； (串)诗93:1;104:1

†[吕]“你要以庄严高尚为妆饰，以尊荣大方为服装。

†[思]请你以尊贵和高雅作你的点缀，以光华美丽作你的衣裳；

†[当代]要是这样，你大可以披上一身的威严和光辉作为衣饰，

†[新译]你当以庄严与尊贵为装饰，以尊荣与威严为衣服。

†[Wlb]尔其以光耀威严自饰、以尊荣赫奕自衣、

†[Xdv]如果你能的话，就以尊贵庄严作装饰，以尊严光荣作衣服。

†[Kjv]Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

†[Nkjv]Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, And array yourself with glory and beauty.

†[BBE]Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power:

†[GNT] If so, stand up in your honor and pride; clothe yourself with majesty and glory.

†[NIV]Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.

本会注释　　本节提到上帝的四个特征：荣耀，庄严，尊荣和威严（见诗93:1；104:1,2）。这里问约伯有没有这些特征。因为只有这样，他才有资格能与上帝评理。

伯40:11 要发出你满溢的怒气，见一切骄傲的人，使他降卑；

†[吕]你要发散你满溢的怒气，见一切骄傲的人，使他降卑；

†[思]发你的烈怒，贬抑一切高傲的人；

†[当代]你又可以尽情发泄胸中的积愤，叫那些骄傲的人降卑。

†[新译]要倒尽你忿激的怒气，观看所有骄傲的人，使他们降卑。

†[Wlb]倾尔满溢之怒、观矜高者而卑之、

†[Xdv]瞧那些狂傲的人；向他们发怒，贬低他们。

†[Kjv]Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

†[Nkjv]Disperse the rage of your wrath; Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him.

†[BBE]Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low.

†[GNT] Look at those who are proud; pour out your anger and humble them.

†[NIV]Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at every proud man and bring him low,

本会注释　　本节问约伯对于犯罪和犯罪的人有什么办法。

伯40:12 见一切骄傲的人，将他制伏，把恶人践踏在本处； (串)赛2:12,17但4:37|赛63:3|伯36:20

†[吕]见一切骄傲的人，使他低微；把恶人践踏于他们的本处；

†[思]视察一切傲慢的人，且加以制服，推翻恶人所处的地位；

†[当代]你可以挫打傲慢的人，挫减他们的锐气。你可以践踏恶人，推翻他们所处的地位；

†[新译]观看所有骄傲的人，把他制伏，把恶人践踏在他们的地方，

†[Wlb]视骄傲者而降之、践恶人于其所、

†[Xdv]看那些骄傲的人，把他们拉下来；把作恶的人击溃。

†[Kjv]Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

†[Nkjv]Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low; Tread down the wicked in their place.

†[BBE]Send destruction on all who are lifted up, pulling down the sinners from their places.

†[GNT] Yes, look at them and bring them down; crush the wicked where they stand.

†[NIV]look at every proud man and humble him, crush the wicked where they stand.

伯40:13 将他们一同隐藏在尘土中，把他们的脸蒙蔽在隐密处； (串)伯17:16;20:11;21:26赛2:10传12:7

†[吕]将他们一概埋藏于尘土中，把他们本身（原文：他们的脸）捆绑在幽冥界；

†[思]将他们一同埋在土中，把他们都关在黑暗中！

†[当代]把他们击倒在尘土中，把他们的脸蒙蔽在死亡里。

†[新译]把他们一起掩藏在尘土里，把他们本人捆绑在隐密处。

†[Wlb]同匿之于尘土、蒙其面于幽冥、

†[Xdv]把他们都埋葬了；把他们捆绑在阴间里。

†[Kjv]Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

†[Nkjv]Hide them in the dust together, Bind their faces in hidden darkness.

†[BBE]Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld.

†[GNT] Bury them all in the ground; bind them in the world of the dead.

†[NIV]Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave.

本会注释　　可能指古代处理死尸的惯例。我们知道在制作木乃伊的时候，尸体包括脸面要全部包裹。

伯40:14 我就认你右手能以救自己。 (串)诗98:1

†[吕]我也就要称赞你，认你的右手能给你得胜（或译：能救你自己）。

†[思]如果你能这样作，我也要称赞你，因为你的右手救护了你。

†[当代]如果你能够这样做，我就承认你有力量可以救自己了。”

†[新译]这样，我就要向你承认，你的右手能拯救你。

†[Wlb]我则认尔能以右手自救、

†[Xdv]这样，我就会称赞你，承认你为自己打了胜仗。

†[Kjv]Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

†[Nkjv]Then I will also confess to you That your own right hand can save you.

†[BBE]Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation.

†[GNT] Then I will be the first to praise you and admit that you won the victory yourself.

†[NIV]Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

本会注释　　只有当约伯具备了上帝的特征，能使骄傲犯罪的人降卑，让作恶的人进入坟墓时，上帝才承认他能以救自己。

伯40:15 你且观看河马；我造你也造它。它吃草与牛一样； (串)民22:4

†[吕]“你看大河马，我造它也同造你一样；它吃草像牛一般。

†[思]且看河马，它同你都是我造成的，它像牛一样吃草。

†[当代]“你来看看大河马，它和你都是由我创造的，它像牛一样吃草。

†[新译]你看看河马吧，我造它像造你一样，它吃草如牛一般。

†[Wlb]试观河马、啮草若牛、我造尔、亦造彼、

†[Xdv]看那巨兽河马吧；我造了它，也造了你。它像牛吃草，

†[Kjv]Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

†[Nkjv]"Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox.

†[BBE]See now the Great Beast, whom I made, even as I made you; he takes grass for food, like the ox.

†[GNT] Look at the monster Behemoth; I created him and I created you. He eats grass like a cow,

†[NIV]Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.

本会注释　　河马。该词源于希伯来语，是常用词behemah（“牲畜”，见创1:24,25；8:20等，或“牛羊”，见创36:6）的复数形式。采用复数形式似乎是为了表示大型动物。大多数权威人士认为是指河马。但也有人认为是指：一，大象；二，某种已灭绝的动物；三，系一种象征。
　　我造你。上帝创造了约伯，也创造了这种动物。
　　它吃草。Behemah显然是食草动物。

伯40:16 它的气力在腰间，能力在肚腹的筋上。

†[吕]看哪，它的能力在它腰间，它强壮之气在它腹部肌肉。

†[思]它的精力全在腰部，它的力量是在腹部的肌肉；

†[当代]你来看看它那强健的腰身和腹部的肌肉！

†[新译]你看，它的力量在腰间，它的能力在肚腹的肌肉上，

†[Wlb]其力在腰脊、其能在腹筋、

†[Xdv]可是它身上的力气多么大！它的肌肉多么结实！

†[Kjv]Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

†[Nkjv]See now, his strength is in his hips, And his power is in his stomach muscles.

†[BBE]His strength is in his body, and his force in the muscles of his stomach.

†[GNT] but what strength there is in his body, and what power there is in his muscles!

†[NIV]What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly!

伯40:17 它摇动尾巴如香柏树；它大腿的筋互相联络。

†[吕]它弯下尾巴硬如香柏树；它大腿的筋交织着。

†[思]它挺起尾巴好像香柏，大腿上的筋联结在一起；

†[当代]它的尾巴挺直如香柏树，大腿上的筋紧紧地互相连络著。

†[新译]它挺直尾巴硬如香柏树，它大腿的筋纠结在一起，

†[Wlb]尾摇若香柏、骽筋相连络、

†[Xdv]它的尾巴像香柏树竖立；它大腿的肌肉多么健壮！

†[Kjv]He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

†[Nkjv]He moves his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.

†[BBE]His tail is curving like a cedar; the muscles of his legs are joined together.

†[GNT] His tail stands up like a cedar, and the muscles in his legs are strong.

†[NIV]His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.

本会注释　　这不像大象细长的尾巴。河马的尾巴又粗又短，肌肉发达。

伯40:18 它的骨头好象铜管；它的肢体仿佛铁棍。

†[吕]它的骨头好像钢管；它的骨干仿佛鉄棍。

†[思]它的脊骨好似铜管，它的骨骸有如铁杠。

†[当代]它的脊柱有如铜管，它的骨骼就像铁棍一样。

†[新译]它的骨头仿佛铜管，它的骨干好像铁棍。

†[Wlb]骨如铜管、肋如铁干、

†[Xdv]它的骨头像铜管；它的腿像铁棍。

†[Kjv]His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

†[Nkjv]His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron.

†[BBE]His bones are pipes of brass, his legs are like rods of iron.

†[GNT] His bones are as strong as bronze, and his legs are like iron bars.

†[NIV]His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron.

伯40:19 它在上帝所造的物中为首；创造它的给它刀剑。 (串)箴8:22

†[吕]“它在上帝之行化中是为首的；它被造来管理同伴（传统：让造他的尽管拿刀剑和它接触）。

†[思]它是天主的杰作，造它者赐给了它利刃。

†[当代]在上帝的创造物中，它是多么的凶猛。哪一个想驯服它，都要带备利刀。

†[新译]它在　神所造的事工中居首，只有创造它的能使刀剑临到它身上。

†[Wlb]上帝所造、此物为最、惟造之者、赐以锋刃、

†[Xdv]在我创造的百兽中它最奇特；只有它的创造者能击败它。

†[Kjv]He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

†[Nkjv]He is the first of the ways of God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword.

†[BBE]He is the chief of the ways of God, made by him for his pleasure.

†[GNT] The most amazing of all my creatures! Only his Creator can defeat him.

†[NIV]He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword.

本会注释　　首。希伯来语是re'shith，既可指时间，也可指地位。本节大概指地位。
　　给它刀剑。可以理解为河马锋利的牙齿。据说河马的牙齿既用于进食，也可用于防身。英文KJV版的意思是，只有创造河马的主才能杀死它。

伯40:20 诸山给它出食物，也是百兽游玩之处。

†[吕]诸山给它带来土产，各样野兽都在那里玩儿。

†[思]群山供给它食物，百兽在那同它游戏。

†[当代]群山为它供应了最理想的食物，那儿有各种不同的野兽。

†[新译]群山为它生出食物，田野的百兽都在那里玩耍。

†[Wlb]其食出于山邱、百兽优游之处、

†[Xdv]在野兽出入的山林中，为它长了可吃的草料。

†[Kjv]Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

†[Nkjv]Surely the mountains yield food for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.

†[BBE]He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play.

†[GNT] Grass to feed him grows on the hills where wild beasts play.

†[NIV]The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.

本会注释　　诸山。如果behemah是河马（见第15节注释），那就是指两岸的山。否则，本节就是描绘漫游在山间的野兽（见诗104:14）。

伯40:21 它伏在莲叶之下，卧在芦苇隐密处和水洼子里。 (串)伯8:11诗68:30赛19:6;35:7

†[吕]它躺在枣莲叶之下，卧在芦荻丛薮和泥沼间。

†[思]它卧在莲叶之下，躺在芦苇和沼泽深处；

†[当代]它躺在莲叶之下，卧在芦苇的深处，溪畔的垂柳荫蔽著它。

†[新译]它躺在莲叶之下，躺在芦苇丛中与泥泽之间；

†[Wlb]伏于莲下、卧于水泽芦中、

†[Xdv]它躺卧在荆棘的丛林下，潜伏在泥沼的芦苇间。

†[Kjv]He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

†[Nkjv]He lies under the lotus trees, In a covert of reeds and marsh.

†[BBE]He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants.

†[GNT] He lies down under the thorn bushes, and hides among the reeds in the swamp.

†[NIV]Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.

本会注释　　莲。希伯来语是se'elim。河马显然是一种水中动物。

伯40:22 莲叶的阴凉遮蔽它；溪旁的柳树环绕它。

†[吕]因为枣莲叶的荫影遮蔽着它；溪谷间的杨柳条环绕着它。

†[思]莲叶的荫影遮蔽着它，溪边的杨柳掩护着它。

†[当代]－

†[新译]莲叶的阴影遮蔽它，溪旁的白杨树环绕它。

†[Wlb]莲荫覆之、溪柳环之、

†[Xdv]溪边的柳树环绕着它；荆棘的丛林遮蔽了它。

†[Kjv]The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

†[Nkjv]The lotus trees cover him with their shade; The willows by the brook surround him.

†[BBE]He is covered by the branches of the trees; the grasses of the stream are round him.

†[GNT] The thorn bushes and the willows by the stream give him shelter in their shade.

†[NIV]The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him.

本会注释　　进一步描述水中动物。

伯40:23 河水泛滥，它不发战；就是约但河的水涨到它口边，也是安然。

†[吕]看哪，溪洪冲击，它也不慌张；就使一条是约但河冲到它的口，他还是安然。

†[思]河水涨溢之时，它毫不战栗；约但河涨到它口边，它仍安宁。

†[当代]它从不害怕河水泛滥，就是约旦河暴涨也不能困扰它。

†[新译]江河泛滥，它毫不慌张，约旦河的水涨到它的口边，它还是安然。

†[Wlb]河水涨溢、彼不战栗、约但涨及其口、彼仍自若、

†[Xdv]河水泛滥时它不慌张；约旦河水涨到口边，它也不怕。

†[Kjv]Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

†[Nkjv]Indeed the river may rage, Yet he is not disturbed; He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth,

†[BBE]Truly, if the river is overflowing, it gives him no cause for fear; he has no sense of danger, even if Jordan is rushing against his mouth.

†[GNT] He is not afraid of a rushing river; he is calm when the Jordan dashes in his face.

†[NIV]When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth.

本会注释　　它不发战。七十士译本译为：“河水泛滥，它不觉察”。描绘水性甚好的野兽，不怕洪水或急流。这当然是指河马。
　　约旦。可能泛指大河。

伯40:24 在它防备的时候，谁能捉拿它？谁能牢笼它穿它的鼻子呢？ (串)伯41:2

†[吕]人能蒙蔽它的眼去捉拿它么？能用鱼杈（传统：牢笼）去穿透它的鼻子么？

†[思]谁能在它目前捕捉它，或以木橛穿透它的鼻孔？

†[当代]没有人能够在它有所戒备时把它捉到，或妄想用鼻圈牵著它的鼻子走。”
