| 1特曼人厄里法次開始說： | 1Eliphaz the Temanite spoke next: |
| 2人若和你講話，你能忍受嗎？但誰又能忍住不說？ | 2Shall we speak? Do you mind? For who could remain silent? |
| 3看，你曾勸戒過許多人，堅固過軟弱無能的人； | 3Remember how you have taught many others, how you have strengthened their feeble hands. |
| 4你的話扶起了跌倒的人，堅固了膝弱無力的人； | 4Your words have supported those who wavered, have steadied the knees that faltered. |
| 5但是現今災禍一臨於你，你就萎靡不振；一接觸你，你就沮喪失意。 | 5But when your turn has come, you are discouraged; as soon as you are struck, you are dismayed. |
| 6你敬畏天主之情，豈不是你的依靠？你完善的行為，豈不是你的希望？ | 6Should you not rely on your piety, and find assurance in your integrity? |
| 7請想：那有無辜者喪亡？那有正直者消逝？ | 7Have you seen a guiltless man perish, or an upright man done away with? |
| 8照我所見：那播種邪惡的，必收邪惡；散佈毒害的，必收毒害。 | 8As I see it, those who plow evil or those who sow trouble reap the same. |
| 9天主一噓氣，他們即滅亡；一發怒氣，他們即消失。 | 9By the breath of God they are swept away; by the blast of his wrath they are destroyed. |
| 10獅吼豹嗥完全止息，幼獅的牙齒也被打碎； | 10The lion may roar and growl; it will fall, the teeth of its cubs will be broken. |
| 11壯獅因缺獵物而滅絕，牝獅幼子各自東西離散。 | 11The lion will die for lack of prey, and the whelps of its mate will stray. |
| 12我竊聽到一句話，我耳聽見細語聲。 | 12I had a secret revelation; a whisper of it reached my ear. |
| 13當人沉睡時，夜夢多幻象； | 13Amid thoughts from night visions, when men are heavily wrapped in slumber, |
| 14我恐怖戰慄，全身骨頭發抖。 | 14I was seized with fear and trembling that shook me to my very bones. |
| 15寒風掠過我面，使我毛髮悚然。 | 15A spirit passed over my face, and the hair of my body stood on end. |
| 16他停立不動，但我不能辨其形狀；我面前出現形影，我聽見細微的聲音： | 16It stopped and stood before my eyes, but I could not make out what it was. Silence... and then - a voice was heard: |
| 17人豈能在天主前自以為義？在造他者前，自以為潔？ | 17"Can a mortal be just in the eyes of God? Can a man be pure before his Maker? |
| 18看，他的僕役，他還不信；他的使者，他還歸罪， | 18If God can put no trust in his servants, if he can charge his angels with error, |
| 19何況那以泥屋為居所，以塵土為基礎的人！他們為人踐踏，有如蠹蟲； | 19how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as easily as moths! |
| 20晨昏間即化為齏粉，永遠消亡而無人一顧。 | 20Between dawn and dusk they perish, and unheeded, vanish forever, |
| 21幕索如已自斷，他們豈不是因缺少智慧而死亡？ | 21Their tent has been unpegged and they died without knowing why. |
