Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2 Zhè xǔduō de yányǔ qǐbù gāi huídá ma . duō zuǐduō shé de rén qǐ kĕ chēngwèi yì ma .
2
“Are all these words to go unanswered? Is this talker to be vindicated?
3 Nǐ kuā dà de huà , qǐnéng shǐ rén bú zuò shēng ma nǐ xì xiào de shíhou , qǐ méiyǒu rén jiào nǐ haì xiū ma .
3
Will your idle talk reduce others to silence? Will no one rebuke you when you mock?
4 Nǐ shuō , wǒde dàolǐ chún quán , wǒ zaì nǐ yǎnqián jiéjìng .
4
You say to God, ‘My beliefs are flawless and I am pure in your sight.’
5 Wéi yuàn shén shuōhuà , yuàn tā kāikǒu gōngjī nǐ .
5
Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you
6 Bìng jiāng zhìhuì de àomì zhǐshì nǐ , tā yǒu zhū bān de zhì shí . suǒyǐ dāng zhīdào shén zhuī tǎo nǐ , bǐ nǐ zuìniè gāi dé de hái shǎo .
6
and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
7 Nǐ kǎochá , jiù néng cè tòu shén ma . nǐ qǐnéng jìn qíng cè tòu quánnéng zhĕ ma .
7
“Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
8 Tāde zhìhuì gāo yú tiān , nǐ hái néng zuò shénme . shēn yú yīnjiān , nǐ hái néng zhīdào shénme .
8
They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?
9 Qí liáng bǐ dì cháng , bǐ hǎi kuān .
9
Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
10 Tā ruò jīngguò , jiāng rén jū jīn , zhāo rén shòu shĕn , shuí néng zǔdǎng tā ne .
10
“If he comes along and confines you in prison and convenes a court, who can oppose him?
11 Tā bĕn zhīdào xūwàng de rén . rén de zuìniè , tā suī bù liúyì , háishì wú suǒ bú jiàn .
11
Surely he recognizes deceivers; and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
12 Kōngxū de rén què haó wúzhī shí. rén shēng zaì shì hǎoxiàng yĕ lü de jū zǐ .
12
But the witless can no more become wise than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.
13 Nǐ ruò jiāng xīn ān zhēng , yòu xiàng zhǔ jǔ shǒu .
13
“Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,
14 Nǐ shǒu lǐ ruò yǒu zuìniè , jiù dāng yuǎn yuǎn dì chúdiào , yĕ bùróng fēi yì zhù zaì nǐ zhàngpéng zhī zhōng .
14
if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
15 Nàshí , nǐ bì yǎng qǐ liǎn lái haó wú bān diǎn . nǐ yĕ bìjiāngù , wú suǒ jùpà .
15
then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear.
16 Nǐ bì wàngjì nǐde kǔchǔ , jiù shì xiǎngqǐ yĕ rú liú guō qù de shuǐ yíyàng .
16
You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by.
17 Nǐ zaì shì de rìzi yào bǐ zhēng wǔ gèng míng , suī yǒu hēiàn réng xiàng zǎochen .
17
Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.
18 Nǐ yīn yǒu zhǐwang jiù bì wĕngù , yĕ bì sìwéi xún chá , tǎnrán ānxī .
18
You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
19 Nǐ tǎng wò , wú rén jīngxià , qiĕ yǒu xǔduō rén xiàng nǐ qiú ēn .
19
You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.
20 Dàn è rén de yǎnmù bìyào shī míng . tāmen wú lù kĕ taó . tāmende zhǐwang jiù shì qì jué .
20
But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp.”
