40:1

ወተሰጥዎ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ለኢዮብ፡ ወይቤሎ።

Moreover Yahweh answered Job,

耶和華又對約伯說：

40:2

ምስለ፡ ቢጽከኑ፡ ዘትትዋቀሥ፡ አንተ፡ ከመ፡ ትትዋሣእ፡ እንዘ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ይዘልፈከ።

“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

強辯的豈可與全能者爭論嗎？與上帝辯駁的可以回答這些吧！

40:3

ወተሰጥዎ፡ ኢዮብ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር፡ ወይቤሎ።

Then Job answered Yahweh,

於是，約伯回答耶和華說：

40:4

ምንት፡ ብየ፡ ዘአወሥእ፡ እንዘ፡ ትሜህረኒ፡ ወምንትኑ፡ አነ፡ ከመ፡ እትዋቀሥ፡ ምስለ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ እነዘ፡ ዘንተ፡ አሰምዕ፡ ወምንትኑ፡ ዘአወሥአ፡ አነ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ ዘእወዲ፡ እዴየ፡ ዲበ፡ አፉየ።

“Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

我是卑賤的！我用甚麼回答你呢？只好用手摀口。

40:5

ምዕረ፡ ነበብኩ፡ ወኢይደግም፡ እንከ።

I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”

我說了一次，再不回答；說了兩次，就不再說。

40:6

ወዓዲ፡ ተሠጥዎ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ለኢዮብ፡ እምደመና፡ ወይቤሎ።

Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind:

於是，耶和華從旋風中回答約伯說：

40:7

ዳዕሙ፡ ቅንት፡ ሐቌከ፡ ከመ፡ ብእሲ፡ ወእሴአለከ፡ ወአንተ፡ አውሥአኒ።

“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.

你要如勇士束腰；我問你，你可以指示我。

40:8

ወአመ፡ አኮ፡ ኅደግ፡ ፍትሕየ፡ ይመስለከኑ፡ ካልእ፡ ዘይኴንነከ፡ ዳዕሙ፡ ከመ፡ ታስተርኢ፡ ጽድቀከ።

Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

你豈可廢棄我所擬定的？豈可定我有罪，好顯自己為義嗎？

40:9

መዝራፅትከኑ፡ ከመ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ወቃልከኑ፡ ከመ፡ ነጐድጓድ።

Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

你有上帝那樣的膀臂嗎？你能像他發雷聲嗎？
