| 1約伯，請你且聽我的話，側耳靜聽我說的一切。 | 1So now, O Job, hear my discourse, listen to everything I say. |
| 2請看，我已開口，舌頭已在口腔內發言。 | 2My words are on the tip of my tongue, |
| 3我的話是出於正直的心，我的唇舌要清楚說明真理。 | 3words from an upright heart, words full of knowledge and sincerity. |
| 4天主的神造了我，全能者的氣息使我生活。 | 4The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty keeps me alive. |
| 5你如果能夠，就回答我，請準備好，來對抗我。 | 5Answer me if you can; draw up your arguments and take your stand. |
| 6看，我與你在天主前都是一樣，我也是用泥土造成的。 | 6Like yourself, I too have been taken by God from the same clay. |
| 7所以我的威嚇不會使你恐怖，我的手也不會重壓在你身上。 | 7Thus no fear of me need alarm you, nor should my presence lie heavy on you. |
| 8你所說的，我已耳聞，聽到了你所說的話： | 8But I heard what you said, none of your words escaped my hearing: |
| 9「我本純潔無罪，清白無瑕。 | 9"I am clean and without sin; I am innocent, guiltless. |
| 10但天主卻在我身上找錯，視我為他的對頭； | 10Yet God has found fault with me and considers me his enemy; |
| 11他把我的腳縛在木樁上，窺察我的一切行動。」 | 11he shackles my feet, keeps watch of all my paths." |
| 12我答覆你說：你這話說的不對，因為天主遠超世人。 | 12I tell you, you are wrong in this, for greater than man is God. |
| 13他既不答覆你說的一切話，你為何還同他爭辯？ | 13Why then do you complain that he will answer none of your words? |
| 14原來天主用一種方法向人講話，人若不理會，他再用另一種方法： | 14See God gives a warning but does not repeat it a second time. |
| 15天主有時藉夢和夜間的異像，當人躺在床上沉睡的時候， | 15In a dream, in a night vision, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber in their beds, |
| 16開啟人的聽覺，用異像驚嚇他， | 16it is then he opens the ears of men and gives warning by terrifying them. |
| 17使人脫離惡念，使人剷除驕傲， | 17So he turns man from wrongdoing and keeps him away from pride, |
| 18阻攔他陷於陰府，救他的性命脫離溝壑。 | 18God preserves his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword. |
| 19天主也有時懲罰人在床上受痛苦，使他的骨頭不斷的刺痛， | 19Man is also chastened on his bed by pain and constant distress upon his frame, |
| 20以致他討厭食物，他的心厭惡美味。 | 20so that he finds food repulsive, even the choicest meal loathsome. |
| 21他身上的肉已消逝不見，他枯瘦的骨頭，已開始外露。 | 21His flesh wastes away to naught; his bones, once unseen, now protrude. |
| 22他的靈魂已臨近墓穴，他的生命已接近死亡之所。 | 22His soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the place of death. |
| 23一千天使中，若有一個在他身傍，作他的代言人，提醒他應行的義務， | 23Yet if there is an angel by his side - a mediator, one in a thousand - to show him what is right for man, to give him justice once again, |
| 24且憐憫那人，為他轉求說：「求你拯救他，以免陷於陰府，因為我已找到了贖金。」 | 24God will have mercy on him and say, "Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found for him a ransom." |
| 25他的肉身比少年人的肉身必更健美，他的青春歲月又恢復了。 | 25Then his flesh will be renewed as a child's, restored as in the days of his youth. |
| 26他祈求天主，必獲得悅納。他必歡然得見天主的儀容，天主也必恢復他的正義。 | 26He will pray and find favor with God; he will see God's face and rejoice. |
| 27那時，他將在人前重述所經歷的事說：「我犯了罪，顛倒了是非，但他沒有照我的罪罰我。 | 27He will witness to men and say, "I sinned and perverted what was right, but I was not punished as I deserved. |
| 28他救了我生命免入陰府，使我重見光明。」 | 28He rescued my soul from going down into the pit, and gave me life to enjoy the light." |
| 29這就是天主接二連三為人所做的事， | 29God does all this to man - twice, even thrice - |
| 30挽救他脫離陰府，重見生命之光。 | 30to turn him back from the pit, to lead him with the light of life. |
| 31約伯啊！請留神傾聽，靜靜地聽我說話！ | 31Pay attention, Job, listen to me; be silent, and I will continue to speak. |
| 32你若有話說，請即回覆我，你儘管說，因為我願聽你的理。 | 32But if you have anything to say, say it then; speak up, for I wish to see you justified. |
| 33若沒有話，且聽我說，靜聽我要教給你的智慧。 | 33If not, then do listen; be silent as I teach you wisdom. |
