约伯记第41章

《圣经》约伯记-第41章

伯41:1 你能用鱼钩钓上鳄鱼吗？能用绳子压下它的舌头吗？ (串)伯3:8诗74:14;104:26赛27:1

†[吕]“你能用鱼钩钓上大鳄鱼么？能用绳子系住（传统：使沉下）它的舌头么？

†[思]你岂能以鱼钩钩上鳄鱼？以绳索缚住它的舌头？

†[当代]“你能用鱼钩钓上大鳄鱼，在它的舌头上套一条绳索吗？

†[新译]“你能用鱼钩钓上鳄鱼吗？能用绳子把它的舌头压下吗？

†[Wlb]尔能以钩钓鳄鱼、以索制其舌、

†[Xdv]你能用鱼钓上海怪，或用绳子绑住它的舌头吗？

†[Kjv]Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

†[Nkjv]"Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?

†[BBE]Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth?

†[GNT] Can you catch Leviathan with a fishhook or tie his tongue down with a rope?

†[NIV]Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope?

本会注释　　鳄鱼。希伯来语是liwyathan。（见@伯3:8@注释；又见诗74:14；诗104:26；赛27:1）。该动物野蛮，凶悍，难以控制，嘴特别大，长着一口可怕的牙齿。全身是密密的鳞片，就像一副盔甲。无法确定约伯是指鳄鱼，还是像许多注释家所认为的，指某种已经灭绝的巨兽。
　　用绳子。野兽的口中往往被系上绳子，如亚述的雕刻所显示的。上帝问能不能用鱼钩钓鳄鱼，或用绳索栓住它的颚。这个问题，就像上面的其他问题一样，强调上帝的创造大能和人类的软弱。

伯41:2 你能用绳索穿它的鼻子吗？能用钩穿它的腮骨吗？ (串)伯40:24|王下19:28赛37:29

†[吕]你能用灯草绳扎住它的鼻子么？能用刺钩穿透它的腮骨么？

†[思]你岂能以鼻圈穿过它的鼻子，以钩子刺透它的腮骨？

†[当代]你能用绳穿过它的鼻子，用钩穿它的腮骨吗？

†[新译]能把草绳穿进它的鼻子吗？能用刺钩穿透它的腮骨吗？

†[Wlb]以绳穿其鼻、以钩贯其颊乎、

†[Xdv]你能用绳子穿它的鼻孔，或用子穿过它的腮骨吗？

†[Kjv]Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

†[Nkjv]Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook?

†[BBE]Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue?

†[GNT] Can you put a rope through his snout or put a hook through his jaws?

†[NIV]Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?

本会注释　　绳索。直译是“灯心草”，指用作绳索的灯心草，或用灯心草编成的绳索。
　　钩。似乎指钩子，用于水中捕鱼，或把有身份的犯人带到俘虏他们的君王面前（见王下19:28；代下33:11；摩4:2）。

伯41:3 它岂向你连连恳求，说柔和的话吗？

†[吕]它哪向你连连恳求，说柔和话呢？

†[思]它岂能再叁向你哀求，向你说甜言蜜语？

†[当代]它会央求你放过它，或来奉承你，使你改变主意吗？

†[新译]它会向你再三恳求，对你说温柔的话吗？

†[Wlb]彼岂屡求于尔、以甘言语尔乎、

†[Xdv]它会哀求你释放它，或向你乞怜吗？

†[Kjv]Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

†[Nkjv]Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you?

†[BBE]Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you?

†[GNT] Will he beg you to let him go? Will he plead with you for mercy?

†[NIV]Will he keep begging you for mercy? Will he speak to you with gentle words?

本会注释　　力大无比的鳄鱼会向约伯求饶吗？

伯41:4 岂肯与你立约，使你拿它永远作奴仆吗？ (串)申15:17

†[吕]哪肯同你立约，让你拿它永做奴隶呢？

†[思]它岂能同你订立盟约，使自己常作你的奴隶？

†[当代]它会同意永远作你的奴仆吗？

†[新译]它肯与你立约，好使你永远奴役它吗？

†[Wlb]岂与尔约、永为尔仆乎、

†[Xdv]它会跟你立约，同意永远服事你吗？

†[Kjv]Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

†[Nkjv]Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever?

†[BBE]Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever?

†[GNT] Will he make an agreement with you and promise to serve you forever?

†[NIV]Will he make an agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for life?

本会注释　　上帝反问约伯能不能收鳄鱼为奴（见出21:6；申15:17）。

伯41:5 你岂可拿它当雀鸟玩耍吗？岂可为你的幼女将它拴住吗？

†[吕]你哪能拿它当雀鸟来玩呢？哪能把它系住来给你幼女呢？

†[思]你岂能玩弄它像玩弄小鸟，将它缚着作你女儿的玩物？

†[当代]你能拿它来当作小鸟般玩耍，或把它送给你的小女儿作为宠物吗？

†[新译]你怎能玩弄它，像玩弄雀鸟一样呢？怎能把它拴住，给你的幼女取乐呢？

†[Wlb]岂可玩之若鸟、为尔幼女系之乎、

†[Xdv]你能拿它当小鸟玩吗？你能把它系住，给你的幼女玩吗？

†[Kjv]Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

†[Nkjv]Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens?

†[BBE]Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women?

†[GNT] Will you tie him like a pet bird, like something to amuse your servant women?

†[NIV]Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls?

本会注释　　古代的文献显示埃及人和当时的其他民族都喜欢养宠物。他们驯养狗，羚羊，豹，猴子和各种鸟儿。如果能驯养一条鳄鱼，那将是最了不起的宠物！“幼女”肯定会反对这样的想法！这里用讽刺的手法，强调鳄鱼比人强。

伯41:6 搭伙的渔夫岂可拿它当货物吗？能把它分给商人吗？

†[吕]搭夥渔夫哪能拿它当货物，在商人之间去平分呢？

†[思]结夥的渔人不是想在它身上谋利，将它售与商人？

†[当代]结夥的渔夫会把它卖给鱼商吗？

†[新译]结伙的渔夫怎能拿它当货物买卖呢？怎能把它分给商人呢？

†[Wlb]渔者之辈、以之为货乎、能脔其肉、以给商贾乎、

†[Xdv]渔夫们能拿它当货物论价吗？商人能把它割碎了出售吗？

†[Kjv]Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

†[Nkjv]Will your companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants?

†[BBE]Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders?

†[GNT] Will fishermen bargain over him? Will merchants cut him up to sell?

†[NIV]Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?

本会注释　　搭伙的渔夫。直译是“伙伴”。可能指一班人为了友情或生意合伙做事。
　　当货物。希伯来语是karah。有三个基本含义：“挖掘”，“贸易”和“设宴”。在本节理解为“贸易”似乎最合适，特别是如果把“搭伙”理解为合伙的渔夫。
　　分给商人。鳄雨当时从未作为交易的商品。

伯41:7 你能用倒钩枪扎满它的皮，能用鱼叉叉满它的头吗？

†[吕]你能用倒钩枪扎透它的皮，用鱼叉叉透它的头么？

†[思]你岂能以长矛穿透它的皮，以鱼叉刺透它的头颅？

†[当代]你能用鱼枪插满它的皮，用鱼叉刺透它的头吗？

†[新译]你能用倒钩扎满它的皮吗？能用鱼叉扎满它的头吗？

†[Wlb]岂能以戈矛遍刺其皮、以鱼叉遍刺其首乎、

†[Xdv]你能用捕鱼的长矛戳穿它的皮，或用鱼叉刺透它的头吗？

†[Kjv]Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

†[Nkjv]Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?

†[BBE]Will you put sharp-pointed irons into his skin, or fish-spears into his head?

†[GNT] Can you fill his hide with fishing spears or pierce his head with a harpoon?

†[NIV]Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?

本会注释　　暗示皮厚得几乎无法刺透。鱼叉和长矛是用来捕河马的，但鳄鱼不怕这些工具。

伯41:8 你按手在它身上，想与它争战，就不再这样行吧！

†[吕]你把手掌去接着它；想到这一战，你再也不干了！

†[思]将你的掌抚在它身上罢！若你想到恶斗，决不敢再抚。

†[当代]如果你下手去捕捉它，你必定难忘这次捕捉的经历，也永远不愿意再去多尝试一次。

†[新译]你把手按在它身上，想到与它的战斗，你就不再是这样作了。（本章第1-8节在《马索拉抄本》为40:25-32）

†[Wlb]尔试以手扪之、念及与鬬、一而不再、

†[Xdv]你用手按它一次就不敢再碰它；你永不忘记跟它搏斗的艰险！

†[Kjv]Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

†[Nkjv]Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle-- Never do it again!

†[BBE]Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again!

†[GNT] Touch him once and you'll never try it again; you'll never forget the fight!

†[NIV]If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!

本会注释　　一想到要与鳄鱼搏斗，就会使人知难而退。

伯41:9 人指望捉拿它是徒然的；一见它，岂不丧胆吗？

†[吕]看哪，人指望要捉拿它、必绝望的；人一见它，自必一败涂地。

†[思]看，人的希望落了空，并且一见它就吓坏了。

†[当代]要捕捉它，真是谈何容易？就是想起这件事也会令人不寒而栗；

†[新译]人希望捉住它是徒然的，人一见它，就心惊胆战。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为41:1）

†[Wlb]捕之乃属虚妄、见之岂不恇怯、

†[Xdv]看见过海怪的人都吓坏了；没有不丧胆而仆倒的。

†[Kjv]Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

†[Nkjv]Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false; Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?

†[BBE]Truly, the hope of his attacker is false; he is overcome even on seeing him!

†[GNT] Anyone who sees Leviathan loses courage and falls to the ground.

†[NIV]Any hope of subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering.

本会注释　　指捉拿或杀死鳄鱼的愿望。一见到鳄鱼，人就会害怕。鳄鱼的力气大大超过人类，所以能无忧无虑地在河边沙滩上睡觉。

伯41:10 没有那么凶猛的人敢惹它。这样，谁能在我面前站立得住呢？

†[吕]它不是极凶猛、以致无人敢惹它么？它说：‘这样，有谁能在我面前站立得住呢？

†[思]没有一个勇敢的人敢触犯它，有谁还敢站立在它前面呢？

†[当代]没有人敢去触犯它，更谈不上可以去战胜它了。既然没有人能在它面前站住，那么又有哪一个能在我面前站住呢？

†[新译]人惹它的时候，它不是很凶猛吗？这样，有谁人在我面前能站立得住呢？

†[Wlb]勇猛之士、亦莫之敢撄、然则孰能立于我前乎、

†[Xdv]它一被激动，凶猛异常；没有人敢在它面前站立。

†[Kjv]None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

†[Nkjv]No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me?

†[BBE]He is so cruel that no one is ready to go against him. Who then is able to keep his place before me?

†[GNT] When he is aroused, he is fierce; no one would dare to stand before him.

†[NIV]No one is fierce enough to rouse him. Who then is able to stand against me?

本会注释　　本节含有整篇讲论的要点。上帝所造的鳄鱼尚且如此可怕，没有人敢“惹它”。那么，谁又敢与上帝争辩呢？这无疑是对约伯的责备，因为曾贸然想与上帝争辩。
　　在塔古姆文本和一些其他希伯来文本中，本节后半句为“这样，谁能在祂面前站立得住呢？”但七十士译本和其他古代文本里都是“我”。

伯41:11 谁先给我什么，使我偿还呢？天下万物都是我的。 (串)罗11:35|诗24:1;50:12林前10:26

†[吕]谁跟我对抗，我还须与他讲和呢（或译：还得安全呢）？普天之下、都属于我呀（或译：没有一个呀）。’

†[思]谁攻击它，而能安全无恙？普天之下没有一人！

†[当代]我并没有欠谁什么，天下万物都是我的。

†[新译]谁先给了我，以致我要偿还呢？天下万物，都是我的。

†[Wlb]谁先施诸我、使我偿之、天下所有、皆属我也、

†[Xdv]谁能攻打它而仍然安全呢？普天之下没有人做得到哇！

†[Kjv]Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

†[Nkjv]Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.

†[BBE]Who ever went against me, and got the better of me? There is no one under heaven!

†[GNT] Who can attack him and still be safe? No one in all the world can do it.

†[NIV]Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.

本会注释　　谁先给我什么？意思可能是“谁又使我对他负有债务呢？”人既然无法控制像鳄鱼这样的动物，又怎能指望迫使上帝特别偏爱他呢？这可能指约伯一再提出要进行评理（伯9:34,35；13:3,22；23:3-7）。上帝没有为自己辩护的义务。祂不欠任何受造者的债。
　　都是我的。上帝提醒约伯祂对宇宙的所有权。

伯41:12 论到鳄鱼的肢体和其大力，并美好的骨骼，我不能缄默不言。

†[吕]“论到大鳄鱼的肢体、我不能缄默不言：我要说到它的大力、它体格之英俊。

†[思]论它的四体百肢，我不能缄默；论它的力量，我要说：没有可与它相比的。

†[当代]它四肢和全身都有著惊人的气力。

†[新译]论到鳄鱼的四肢和它的力气，以及美好的体态，我不能缄默不言。

†[Wlb]若夫鳄鱼之肢体、大力美格、我不能缄默焉、

†[Xdv]让我告诉你关于海怪的肢体，说明它如何庞大强壮。

†[Kjv]I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

†[Nkjv]"I will not conceal his limbs, His mighty power, or his graceful proportions.

†[BBE]I will not keep quiet about the parts of his body, or about his power, and the strength of his frame.

†[GNT] Let me tell you about Leviathan's legs and describe how great and strong he is.

†[NIV]I will not fail to speak of his limbs, his strength and his graceful form.

本会注释　　上帝现在更加详细地描写鳄鱼。

伯41:13 谁能剥它的外衣？谁能进它上下牙骨之间呢？

†[吕]谁能揭开它服装的皮面？谁能进它双重的铠甲（传统：辔头）间呢？

†[思]谁能揭开它的外衣，谁能穿透它双层的鳞甲？

†[当代]有哪一个能剥去它的外皮呢？有哪一个能进到它利齿所能及的范围之内呢？

†[新译]谁能揭开它的外皮呢？谁能进入它上下两颚之间呢？

†[Wlb]孰能去其外衣、近其两鳃、

†[Xdv]谁能剥掉它的外衣，或戳穿它所穿的铠甲（希伯来文是：马笼头）？

†[Kjv]Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

†[Nkjv]Who can remove his outer coat? Who can approach him with a double bridle?

†[BBE]Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron?

†[GNT] No one can tear off his outer coat or pierce the armor he wears.

†[NIV]Who can strip off his outer coat? Who would approach him with a bridle?

本会注释　　剥。即“剥掉”。
　　它的外衣。指它的鳞甲。
　　上下牙骨 （英文KJV版为“双重的马勒”）。原文含义不明。有人解释为“谁胆敢给它套上马勒？”也有人认为“双重马勒”是指它的上下牙。上帝问，谁敢接近这些牙齿？还有人以七十士译本为依据，理解为“谁能进入它那厚厚的胸甲里？”

伯41:14 谁能开它的腮颊？它牙齿四围是可畏的。

†[吕]它脸面的门户谁能打开呢？它牙齿的四围尽是令人恐怖呀。

†[思]谁敢启开它的口？它四周的牙齿，令人战栗。

†[当代]它锋利的牙齿实在可怕。

†[新译]谁能打开它的口呢？它的牙齿令人战栗。

†[Wlb]孰能启其口门、其齿环列可畏、

†[Xdv]谁能叫它张开腮颊，摇动它那令人恐布的牙齿？

†[Kjv]Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

†[Nkjv]Who can open the doors of his face, With his terrible teeth all around?

†[BBE]Who has made open the doors of his face? Fear is round about his teeth.

†[GNT] Who can make him open his jaws, ringed with those terrifying teeth?

†[NIV]Who dares open the doors of his mouth, ringed about with his fearsome teeth?

本会注释　　如果鳄鱼闭上嘴，谁有足够的胆量和力气打开它？

伯41:15 它以坚固的鳞甲为可夸，紧紧合闭，封得严密。

†[吕]它的背脊是栉比成行的鳞甲，紧紧合闭着，像印得很紧的印章。

†[思]它的脊背有如盾甲，好像为石印所密封。

†[当代]它一身坚固的鳞甲，足以使它自豪；鳞甲层层重叠，紧紧闭合，连气也不能透入其间。

†[新译]它的背有一行一行的鳞甲，紧紧合闭着，像印得很紧的印章一样。

†[Wlb]其鳞成行、乃其所诩、密若缄封、

†[Xdv]它的背（希伯来文是：夸耀或骄傲）用一排排鳞甲组成，牢牢地结合在一起，像石头坚硬。

†[Kjv]His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

†[Nkjv]His rows of scales are his pride, Shut up tightly as with a seal;

†[BBE]His back is made of lines of plates, joined tight together, one against the other, like a stamp.

†[GNT] His back is made of rows of shields, fastened together and hard as stone.

†[NIV]His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together;

本会注释　　鳞甲。指多重防御。

伯41:16 这鳞甲一一相连，甚至气不得透入其间，

†[吕]这鳞甲一一相连，气也不得透入于其间：

†[思]鳞甲片片相连，气也透不进去：

†[当代]－

†[新译]这鳞甲一一相连接，连气也透不入其间，

†[Wlb]骈比无间、气不得入、

†[Xdv]每一片鳞甲结连着另一片，一点点空气都透不进去。

†[Kjv]One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

†[Nkjv]One is so near another That no air can come between them;

†[BBE]One is so near to the other that no air may come between them.

†[GNT] Each one is joined so tight to the next, not even a breath can come between.

†[NIV]each is so close to the next that no air can pass between.

伯41:17 都是互相联络、胶结，不能分离。 (串)本章23

†[吕]它们都互相胶结，彼此搭住，不能分开。

†[思]互相联结，黏在一起不可分离。

†[当代]－

†[新译]鳞甲一一互相连合，互相紧贴，不能分离。

†[Wlb]互相连络、胶结不分、

†[Xdv]它们互相胶结，任何东西都不能把它们掰开。

†[Kjv]They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

†[Nkjv]They are joined one to another, They stick together and cannot be parted.

†[BBE]They take a grip of one another; they are joined together, so that they may not be parted.

†[GNT] They all are fastened so firmly together that nothing can ever pull them apart.

†[NIV]They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted.

伯41:18 它打喷嚏就发出光来；它眼睛好象早晨的光线（原文作眼皮）。 (串)伯3:9

†[吕]它打的喷嚏闪出光来；它的眼就像晨曦之破晓（原文：眼皮）。

†[思]它的喷嚏发出白光，眼睛像旭日闪动。

†[当代]它打喷嚏的时候，水花溅起万丈光芒。它的眼睛就像火花似的闪耀著。

†[新译]它打的喷嚏闪出光来，它的眼睛如同清晨的阳光；

†[Wlb]嚏发有光、目若曙色、

†[Kjv]By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

†[Nkjv]His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

†[BBE]His sneezings give out flames, and his eyes are like the eyes of the dawn.

†[GNT] Light flashes when he sneezes, and his eyes glow like the rising sun.

†[NIV]His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.

本会注释　　打喷嚏。鳄鱼朝着太阳张开口时，被会打喷嚏，嘴里涌出水，在阳光下闪闪发光。
　　眼睛。众所周知，鳄鱼长着像猫眼那样闪烁的小眼睛。

伯41:19 从它口中发出烧着的火把，与飞迸的火星；

†[吕]从它口中发出烧着的火把，有火星飞迸跳跃出来。

†[思]火把从它口中喷出，火花四射。

†[BBE]Out of his mouth go burning lights, and flames of fire are jumping up.

†[GNT] Flames blaze from his mouth, and streams of sparks fly out.

†[NIV]Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.

本会注释　　比喻鳄鱼在观望者心中留下的印象。它打喷嚏，嘴里涌出水，飞溅着在阳光下闪闪发光，使人联想到火把和火星。

伯41:20 从它鼻孔冒出烟来，如烧开的锅和点着的芦苇。

†[吕]从它鼻孔冒出烟来，如烧开的锅和点着的灯心草所出的气。

†[思]它的力量集中在它的颈上，在它面前，没有不恐怖的。

†[Nkjv]Strength dwells in his neck, And sorrow dances before him.

†[BBE]Strength is in his neck, and fear goes dancing before him.

†[GNT] His neck is so powerful that all who meet him are terrified.

†[NIV]Strength resides in his neck; dismay goes before him.

本会注释　　颈项。“河马”的力气在腰间（见伯40:16），鳄鱼的力气在颈项上。
　　在它面前的都恐吓蹦跳。指在它面前的，都会发抖。它无论走到哪里，都会引起恐慌。人们惊恐地逃跑。

伯41:23 它的肉块互相联络，紧贴其身，不能摇动。 (串)本章17

†[吕]它的下垂肉互相胶结于躯干上、一片结实，不能摇动。

†[当代]它的肌肉结实坚固。
