| 約伯傳 | Job |

| 1約伯回答說： | 1When Job answered, and said: |
| 2的確，只有你們是有知識的子民；那麼，你們一死，智慧也與你們一同喪亡！ | 2Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you? |
| 3其實，我和你們有同樣的心理，我並不亞於你們！誰不知道這些事？ | 3I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know? |
| 4我這呼籲天主而蒙應允的人，卻被他的友人所嘲笑，無辜的義人卻成了笑柄。 | 4He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn. |
| 5幸運的人心想：遭難的人應受蔑視，失足的人應再予以打擊。 | 5The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed. |
| 6但是，強盜的帳幕竟能安全，觸怒天主的人，以勢力為神的人卻享平安。 | 6The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands: |
| 7請你詢問走獸，牠們也會開導你；詢問天上的飛鳥，牠們也會告訴你； | 7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee. |
| 8地上的爬蟲也會教訓你，海中的魚族也會給你說明。 | 8Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell. |
| 9牠們中有誰不知道：是天主的手創造了這一切？ | 9Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things? |
| 10因為一切活物的生魂，一切血肉之人的靈魂，都握在他手中。 | 10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man. |
| 11耳朵不是為明辨言語，口腔不是為辨嘗食物嗎？ | 11Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste? |
| 12白髮老人是有智慧的，年紀大者是有見識的； | 12In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence. |
| 13但智慧和能力同在天主內，智慧與見識是天主所有。 | 13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. |
| 14他若拆毀，人不能再建；他若拘禁，人不得開釋。 | 14If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a. man, there is none that can open. |
| 15他若制水，水便乾涸；他若放水，水便沖毀大地。 | 15If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth. |
| 16力量與才能，為他所有；受騙者與騙人者，都屬於他。 | 16With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver, and him that is deceived. |
| 17他使謀士糊塗，使判官愚蠢； | 17He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility. |
| 18他解除君王所繫的玉帶，將繩索捆在他們的腰間； | 18He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their loins with a cord. |
| 19他使司祭赤足而行，推倒掌握大權者； | 19He leadeth away priests without glory, and overthroweth nobles. |
| 20奪去忠貞者的辯才，剝去年老者的理智： | 20He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged. |
| 21使貴人備受侮辱，使勇士的腰帶鬆弛； | 21He poureth contempt upon princes, and relieveth them that were oppressed. |
| 22使隱秘的事由暗處彰顯，使黑暗進入光明； | 22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth up to light the shadow of death. |
| 23使邦國興起而又滅亡，使民族強大而又消散； | 23He multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and restoreth them again after they were overthrown. |
| 24剝去國君的理智，使他們漂泊於無路的荒野中， | 24He changeth the heart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiveth them that they walk in vain where there is no way. |
| 25在無光的黑暗中摸索，踉蹌猶如醉漢。 | 25They shall grope as in the dark, and not in the light, and he shall make them stagger like men that are drunk. |
