| 1約伯答覆說： | 1Then Job answered: |
| 2我確實知道事情是這樣，但人怎能同天主講理？ | 2Very well I know that it is so. But how can a mortal be just before God? |
| 3人若願意同天主辯論，千個問題中，誰也回答不出一個。 | 3If one were to contend with him, not once in a thousand times would he answer. |
| 4雖心中明智，力量強大，但誰能對抗天主，而保平安？ | 4His power is vast, his wisdom profound. Who has resisted him and come out unharmed? |
| 5他可移山，山卻不知；他一發怒，山即翻轉； | 5He moves mountains before they are aware; he overturns them in his rage. |
| 6他振搖大地，使之脫離原處，地柱隨之搖撼震動； | 6He makes the earth tremble and its pillars quake. |
| 7他一下令，太陽即不昇起，星辰即封閉不動； | 7He commands the sun, and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars. |
| 8惟有他展開天空，步行海波之上； | 8He alone stretches out the skies and treads on the waves of the seas. |
| 9他創造了北斗和參宿，昴星及南極星辰； | 9He made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and every constellation. |
| 10他所作的大事，不可勝數。 | 10His wonders are past all reckoning, his miracles beyond all counting. |
| 11他由我身旁經過，我卻沒有看見；他走過去，我仍沒有發覺。 | 11He passes by, but I do not see him; he moves on, but I do not notice him. |
| 12他若搶奪，誰能阻擋？誰能問他說：「你作什麼？」 | 12If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, "What are you doing?" |
| 13天主一憤怒，決不收回。為老虎作倀的，必屈伏在他以下。 | 13God does not turn back when angered; before him Rahab's cohorts cowered. |
| 14如此我怎敢回答，我怎敢措辭與他抗辯？ | 14How then can I answer him and find words to argue with him? |
| 15縱然有理，也不敢回答，惟有哀求我的判官開恩。 | 15If he does not answer when I am right, shall I plead with my judge for mercy? |
| 16我向他呼求，縱然他答應我，我仍不相信他會聽我的呼聲。 | 16Even if I appealed and he answered, I do not believe that he would have heard. |
| 17他為了一根頭髮而折磨我，無故增加我的創傷； | 17He who crushes me for a trifle and multiplies my hurt for no reason. |
| 18致使我不能喘一口氣，使我飽嘗苦辛。 | 18He does not give me time to breathe, but fills me with grief without pause. |
| 19論力量，他強而有力；論審判，誰能將他傳來？ | 19If it is a contest of strength, he is mighty. If a matter of justice, who will summon him? |
| 20我雖自以為正義，他的口卻判定我有罪；我雖自覺無辜，他卻證明我有偏差。 | 20If I were innocent, my own mouth would condemn me; if blameless, it would pronounce me guilty. |
| 21我是無辜的，我已不顧及我的生命，我已厭惡生活下去。 | 21But am I innocent, after all? I do not know, and so I find my life despicable. |
| 22因此我說：都是一樣。善人惡人，他一概滅絕。 | 22It is all the same! And this I dare say: both blameless and wicked - he destroys. |
| 23若天災突然降下使人猝死，他便嘲笑無罪者的絕望。 | 23When disaster brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent. |
| 24大地落在惡人的手裏，蒙蔽判官臉面的，不是他是誰呢？ | 24When a nation falls into a tyrant's hand, it is he who makes the judges blind. But if it is not he - who else then? |
| 25我的日月過去比跑信的還快；疾走而過，無福樂可享。 | 25Swifter than a runner are my days; without a shred of joy they fly away. |
| 26急急駛過，似蘆葦船，如驟降攫食的鷹。 | 26They skim along like reed canoes or like eagles swooping on their prey. |
| 27我若決意忘掉我的哀怨，改變愁容，表示愉快； | 27If I resolve to forget my affliction, to smile and change my expression, |
| 28但一想到我的痛苦，我就恐怖。我知道你決不以我為無辜。 | 28my trials make me fear for I know I shall be held accountable. |
| 29我若是有罪，又何苦白費心血？ | 29In any case if I am to be condemned, why should I bother in vain? |
| 30我即便用雪洗我身，用鹼水洗我手， | 30If I washed my body with snow and cleansed my hands with soap, |
| 31你卻把我浸在泥坑內，甚至我的衣服都憎惡我。 | 31you would plunge me into the dung pit, and my very clothes would abhor me. |
| 32因為他不像我是個人，使我能答覆他，或讓我們同去聽審。 | 32He is not a man like me that I might say, "let us go to court together." |
| 33在我們中間沒有仲裁，可按手在我們兩造之間。 | 33Would that there were an arbiter between us, who could lay his hand upon both of us. |
| 34但願他的棍杖遠離我，他的威嚴不要恐嚇我， | 34He would remove from me the rod of God and his terrors which frighten me. |
| 35我好能講話而不害怕；但是如今我並非如此。 | 35But it is not so. Then I will speak to myself alone without fear. |
