| 約伯記-Job 第 39 章 |
| 39:1 | 你知道山巖間的野山羊幾時生產麼？你能察定母鹿幾時下犢麼？ Do you know the time when the mountain goats bring forth? Can you mark the time when the hinds calve? |
| 39:2 | 你能數算它們懷胎須滿足的月數麼？你知道它們幾時生產麼？ Can you number the months that they must fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bring forth? |
| 39:3 | 它們屈身，將子生下，就把疼痛中所生的遣走。 They crouch down; they give birth to their young ones; They send forth their offspring. |
| 39:4 | 它們的崽子漸漸肥壯，在荒野長大，一出去就不返回。 Their young become strong; they grow up in the open field; They go forth and do not return to them. |
| 39:5 | 誰放野驢出去自由？誰解開快驢的繩索？ Who has sent out the wild ass free? Or who has loosed the bonds of the swift ass, |
| 39:6 | 我使曠野作它的住家，使鹹地當它的居所。 Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land, his dwelling place? |
| 39:7 | 它嗤笑城內的喧嚷，不聽趕牲口者的呼喝。 He scorns the tumult of the city; He does not hear the shouts of the driver. |
| 39:8 | 它探覓群山作草場，尋找各樣青綠之物。 He searches out the mountains for his pasture And seeks after every green thing. |
| 39:9 | 野牛豈肯服事你，豈肯在你的槽旁過夜？ Will the wild ox be willing to serve you Or spend the night by your manger? |
| 39:10 | 你豈能用套繩將野牛繫在犁溝之間？它豈肯隨你耙山谷之地？ Can you bind the wild ox to the furrows with his ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you? |
| 39:11 | 豈可因它的力大，就倚靠它？豈可把你勞碌的工交給它作？ Will you trust in him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him? |
| 39:12 | 豈可信靠它把你的谷種運回家，又把谷收聚到你的禾場？ Will you have confidence in him that he will bring in your seed And gather your grain to your threshing floor? |
| 39:13 | 鴕鳥的翅膀歡然扇展，豈是顯慈愛的翎毛和羽毛麼？ The wings of the ostrich flap joyously: Are they the pinion and plumage of lovingkindness? |
| 39:14 | 因它把蛋留在地上，使其在塵土中得溫暖； For she leaves her eggs on the earth And warms them in the dust. |
| 39:15 | 卻忘了腳會把蛋踹碎，田野的獸會把蛋踐踏。 And she forgets that a foot may crush them Or that an animal of the field may trample them. |
| 39:16 | 它忍心待雛，似乎不是自己的；雖然徒受勞苦，也不懼怕； She is hard with her children, as if they were not hers; Though her labor may be in vain, she has no fear; |
| 39:17 | 因為神使它沒有智慧，也未將聰明分授與它。 Because God has caused her to forget wisdom And has not appointed understanding to her. |
| 39:18 | 它幾時挺身騰躍，就嗤笑馬和騎馬的人。 At that time when she lifts herself up on high, She scorns the horse and its rider. |
| 39:19 | 馬的大力是你所賜的麼？它頸項上挓桫的鬃，是你給它披上的麼？ Have you given the horse his might? Have you clothed his neck with the quivering mane? |
| 39:20 | 是你叫它跳躍像蝗蟲麼？它噴氣之威使人驚惶。 Have you made him to leap like a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible. |
| 39:21 | 它在谷中刨地，以自己的力氣為樂；它出去迎接佩帶兵器的人。 He paws in the valley, And he rejoices in his strength; He goes forth to meet weapons. |
| 39:22 | 它嗤笑可怕的事，並不驚惶，也不因刀劍退回。 He laughs at fear and is not dismayed, And he does not turn back from the sword. |
| 39:23 | 箭袋和發亮的槍，並短槍，在它身上錚錚有聲。 A quiver of arrows rattles against him, The flashing spear and the javelin. |
| 39:24 | 它發猛烈的怒氣將地吞下；一聽角聲就不耐站住。 With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground, And he is not stilled by the sound of the trumpet. |
| 39:25 | 角每發聲，它就說，阿哈！它從遠處聞著戰氣，又聽見軍長大發雷聲，和兵丁吶喊。 As often as the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! And from afar he smells the battle, The thundering of captains and the shouting. |
| 39:26 | 鷹能飛翔，展翅南飛，豈是藉你的聰明麼？ Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings to the south? |
| 39:27 | 大鷹上騰，在高處搭窩，豈是聽你的吩咐麼？ Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high? |
| 39:28 | 它住在山巖，宿於山峰和堅固之處； On the cliff he dwells and makes his lodging, Upon the point of the cliff and the stronghold. |
| 39:29 | 從那裡窺看食物，眼睛遠遠觀望。 From there he spies out food; His eyes gaze on it from afar. |
| 39:30 | 它的雛也咂血；被殺的人在那裡，它也在那裡。 And his young ones suck up the blood; And where the slain are, there he is. |
