Job 40
1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
ヱホバまたヨブに對へて言たまはく
2 Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
非難する者ヱホバと爭はんとするや 神と論ずる者これに答ふべし
3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
ヨブ是においてヱホバに答へて曰く
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
嗚呼われは賤しき者なり 何となんぢに答へまつらんや 唯手をわが口に當んのみ
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
われ已に一度言たり 復いはじ 已に再度せり 重ねて述じ
6 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
是に於てヱホバまた大風の中よりヨブに應へて言たまはく
7 Gird up your loins now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me.
なんぢ腰ひきからげて丈夫のごとくせよ 我なんぢに問ん なんぢ我にこたへよ
8 Will you also nullify my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
なんぢ我審判を廢んとするや 我を非として自身を是とせんとするや
9 Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?
なんぢ神のごとき腕ありや 神のごとき聲をもて轟きわたらんや
10 Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.
さればなんぢ威光と尊貴とをもて自ら飾り 榮光と華美とをもて身に纒へ
11 Cast abroad the rage of your wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and bring low him.
なんぢの溢るる震怒を洩し 高ぶる者を視とめて之をことごとく卑くせよ
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
すなはち高ぶる者を見てこれを盡く鞠ませ また惡人を立所に踐つけ
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
これを塵の中に埋め これが面を隱れたる處に閉こめよ
14 Then will I also confess unto you that your own right hand can save you.
さらば我もなんぢを讚てなんぢの右の手なんぢを救ひ得ると爲ん
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox.
今なんぢ我がなんぢとともに造りたりし河馬を視よ 是は牛のごとく草を食ふ
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
觀よその力は腰にあり その勢力は腹の筋にあり
17 He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
その尾の搖く樣は香柏のごとく その腿の筋は彼此に盤互ふ
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
その骨は銅の管ごとくその肋骨は鐡の棒のごとし
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
これは神の工の第一なる者にして之を造りし者これに劍を賦けたり
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
山もこれがために食物を産出し もろもろの野獸そこに遊ぶ
21 He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
これは蓮の樹の下に臥し葦蘆の中または沼の裏に隱れをる
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
蓮の樹その蔭をもてこれを覆ひ また河の柳これを環りかこむ
23 Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastes not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
たとひ河荒くなるとも驚ろかず ヨルダンその口に注ぎかかるも惶てず
24 He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.
その目の前にて誰か之を執ふるを得ん 誰か羂をその鼻に貫くを得ん
