| 1特曼人厄里法次接着說： | 1Eliphaz the Temanite replied: |
| 2人為天主能有什麼益處？明智人只能於一己有益。 | 2Can man be of any use to God? Only himself a wise man benefits. |
| 3縱然你公正，對全能者能有什麼好處？縱然你品行齊全，對天主有什麼利益？ | 3What would the Almighty gain if you were upright? What profit if you were blameless in your ways? |
| 4他豈能因你敬畏之心而責斥你，拉你來聽審？ | 4Is it for your piety that he reproves and brings you to judgment? |
| 5豈不是因為你罪惡多端，罪過無窮？ | 5Is it not for your great wickedness, for there is no end to your sins? |
| 6因為你無理地強取了你兄弟的抵押，剝去了人的衣服，使之赤裸； | 6Without any need you kept your kinsmen's goods and stripped them naked of their clothing. |
| 7口渴的人，你沒有給他水喝；饑餓的人，你沒有給他飯吃； | 7You denied drink to the thirsty and withheld bread from the hungry. |
| 8讓強有力的人佔有土地，讓尊貴體面的人住在其中； | 8The powerful control the land and allot it to their cronies. |
| 9卻使寡婦空手而歸，折斷孤兒的手臂； | 9You have sent widows away empty-handed and crushed the arms of orphans. |
| 10因此羅網要四面圍困你，恐嚇突降，使你驚惶。 | 10No wonder snares are round about you and sudden terror makes you dismayed, |
| 11光明變成黑暗，使你毫無所見；洪水漫漫，將你淹沒。 | 11you are blinded by darkness and covered by flood. |
| 12天主豈不是居於高天？看，最高的星辰何其高遠？ | 12Is not God above the heavens? See how lofty are the highest stars. |
| 13你曾說過：「天主知道什麼？他豈能透過黑雲施行審判？ | 13Yet you say, "What does God know? Can he see through deep shadows? |
| 14雲彩遮蔽着他，使他看不到什麼，而他只在天邊周圍遊行。」 | 14He cannot see for thick clouds veil him as he walks upon the vault of the heavens." |
| 15你豈要固守惡人所蹈的故轍？ | 15Will you keep to the old path that the wicked have trod? |
| 16尚未到時，他們已被攫去，大水沖去了他們的基礎。 | 16In a moment they were carried off and their foundation washed away. |
| 17他們曾向天主說：「離開我們！全能者能為我們作什麼？」 | 17They said to God, "Away from us! What can the Almighty do to us?" |
| 18他原來是以福利充滿了他們的家，可是惡人的思想離他很遠。 | 18He had filled their houses with good things, but the thoughts of the wicked were far from him. |
| 19義人見了就歡樂，無罪者也譏笑他們說： | 19The righteous see their ruin and are glad, the innocent laugh at them and say, |
| 20「的確，他們的財富已被消滅，他們所剩餘的皆被火焚毀。」 | 20"Now the great have come to nothing, fire has devoured their heritage." |
| 21請你與他親善和好，藉此你的幸福必得恢復。 | 21Come to terms with God and make peace; in this way you will prosper. |
| 22請你領受他口中的教訓，將他的話存在心中。 | 22Listen to his teaching and keep his words in your heart. |
| 23如果你歸向全能者，你必興起；你若使邪惡離開你的帳幕， | 23If you return humbled to the Almighty, if you drive injustice from your tent, |
| 24視金子如塵埃，視敖非爾金如溪石， | 24then you will look on gold as dust, gold of Ophir as pebbles from a stream. |
| 25全能者必作為你的精金，作為你的銀堆。 | 25For the Almighty will be your gold and your sparkling silver. |
| 26那時你必以全能者為喜樂，向天主仰起你的頭來。 | 26For then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God. |
| 27那時你祈求他，他必應允你；你可向他還你的誓願。 | 27You will pray to him and he will hear, and you will fulfill your vows. |
| 28你決定的事，事必成就；光明要照耀你的道路， | 28You will succeed in your decision, and light will shine upon your way. |
| 29因為他壓伏驕傲的人，拯救低首下心的人。 | 29For God brings down the proud and saves the downcast. |
| 30他必解救無罪的人；你若手中清廉，你必獲救。 | 30He who rescues the innocent man, will rescue you too if your hands are clean. |
