Job 39

1 “Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the doe bear her fawn?

1 “你知道野山羊何时生产吗？ 你看过母鹿产仔吗？

2 Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth?

2 你能算出它们怀胎的月数吗？ 你知道它们分娩的日期吗？

3 They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn.

3 它们屈身产仔， 结束分娩之痛。

4 Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return.

4 幼仔健壮，在荒野长大， 离群而去，不再回来。

5 Who set the wild donkey free? Who released the swift donkey from the harness?

5 “谁让野驴逍遥自在？ 谁解开了它的缰绳？

6 I made the wilderness his home and the salt flats his dwelling.

6 我使它以旷野为家， 以盐地作居所。

7 He scorns the tumult of the city and never hears the shouts of a driver.

7 它嗤笑城邑的喧闹， 不听赶牲口的吆喝。

8 He roams the mountains for pasture, searching for any green thing.

8 它以群山作牧场， 寻找各种青草。

9 Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night?

9 “野牛岂肯为你效劳， 在你的槽旁过夜？

10 Can you hold him to the furrow with a harness? Will he plow the valleys behind you?

10 你岂能用缰绳把野牛牵到犁沟？ 它岂肯跟着你在山谷耕地？

11 Can you rely on his great strength? Will you leave your hard work to him?

11 你岂能倚靠它的大力， 把你的重活交给它？

12 Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?

12 岂能靠它运回粮食， 替你堆聚到麦场？

13 The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but cannot match the pinions and feathers of the stork.

13 “鸵鸟欢然拍动翅膀， 它岂有白鹳的翎羽？

14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand.

14 它将蛋产在地上， 使蛋得到沙土的温暖，

15 She forgets that a foot may crush them, or a wild animal may trample them.

15 却不知蛋会被踩碎， 或遭野兽践踏。

16 She treats her young harshly, as if not her own, with no concern that her labor was in vain.

16 它苛待雏鸟，好像它们并非己出， 就算徒劳一场，它也不怕。

17 For God has deprived her of wisdom; He has not endowed her with understanding.

17 因为上帝未赐它智慧， 没有给它悟性。

18 Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

18 然而，一旦它展翅奔跑， 必嗤笑马儿和骑士。

19 Do you give strength to the horse or adorn his neck with a mane?

19 “马的力量岂是你赐的？ 它颈上的鬃毛岂是你披的？

20 Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?

20 岂是你使它跳跃如蝗虫， 发出令人胆寒的长嘶？

21 He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle.

21 它在谷中刨地， 炫耀力量，奋力冲向敌军。

22 He laughs at fear, frightened of nothing; he does not turn back from the sword.

22 它嘲笑恐惧，毫不害怕， 不因刀剑而退缩。

23 A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and lance.

23 它背上的箭袋铮铮作响， 长矛和标枪闪闪发光。

24 Trembling with excitement, he devours the distance; he cannot stand still when the ram’s horn sounds.

24 角声一响，它便无法静立， 异常亢奋，急于驰骋大地。

25 At the blast of the horn, he snorts with fervor. He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shouts of captains and the cry of war.

25 听到角声，它就发出长嘶， 它老远便嗅到战争的气味， 并听见呐喊和将领的号令。

26 Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread his wings toward the south?

26 “鹰隼展翅翱翔，飞往南方， 岂是靠你的智慧？

27 Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high?

27 秃鹰腾飞，在高处搭窝， 岂是奉你的命令？

28 He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag.

28 它居住在悬崖上， 盘踞在山岩峭壁，

29 From there he spies out food; his eyes see it from afar.

29 它从那里搜寻猎物， 它的目光直达远方。

30 His young ones feast on blood; and where the slain are, there he is.”

30 它的幼雏噬血， 哪里有尸体，它就在哪里。”
