| 1约伯回答说： | 1Then Job answered: |
| 2的确，只有你们是有知识的子民；那么，你们一死，智慧也与你们一同丧亡！ | 2No doubt you are the people's voice; when you die, wisdom dies with you! |
| 3其实，我和你们有同样的心理，我并不亚于你们！谁不知道这些事？ | 3But I have a mind as well as you, I know all that you have said. |
| 4我这呼吁天主而蒙应允的人，却被他的友人所嘲笑，无辜的义人却成了笑柄。 | 4To my friends I am a laughingstock when I call on God who does not answer; the just and blameless man is made fun of. |
| 5幸运的人心想：遭难的人应受蔑视，失足的人应再予以打击。 | 5"Contempt for the unfortunate," so think the prosperous, "a blow for those who are staggering." |
| 6但是，强盗的帐幕竟能安全，触怒天主的人，以势力为神的人却享平安。 | 6Yet the robbers' tents are undisturbed, those who provoke God are in peace, those who make a god of their strength. |
| 7请你询问走兽，牠们也会开导你；询问天上的飞鸟，牠们也会告诉你； | 7But ask the beasts to teach you, the birds of the air to tell you, |
| 8地上的爬虫也会教训你，海中的鱼族也会给你说明。 | 8the plants of the earth to instruct you, the fish of the sea to inform you. |
| 9牠们中有谁不知道：是天主的手创造了这一切？ | 9Who among them does not understand that behind all this is God's hand? |
| 10因为一切活物的生魂，一切血肉之人的灵魂，都握在他手中。 | 10He holds the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. |
| 11耳朵不是为明辨言语，口腔不是为辨尝食物吗？ | 11The ear surely can test the words as the tongue tastes food; |
| 12白发老人是有智慧的，年纪大者是有见识的； | 12wisdom is found in the old, and understanding in great age; |
| 13但智慧和能力同在天主内，智慧与见识是天主所有。 | 13in God however is wisdom and power; his are counsel and understanding. |
| 14他若拆毁，人不能再建；他若拘禁，人不得开释。 | 14What he tears down, none can rebuild; the one he imprisons, none can release. |
| 15他若制水，水便干涸；他若放水，水便冲毁大地。 | 15If he withholds water, there is drought; if he lets it loose, there is flood. |
| 16力量与才能，为他所有；受骗者与骗人者，都属于他。 | 16In him are strength and perception; deceived and deceiver are in his power. |
| 17他使谋士糊涂，使判官愚蠢； | 17He leads counselors away stripped and makes fools of judges. |
| 18他解除君王所系的玉带，将绳索捆在他们的腰间； | 18He loosens the belt of kings and ties a loincloth about their waist. |
| 19他使司祭赤足而行，推倒掌握大权者； | 19He leads priests away, barefoot, and overthrows those in power. |
| 20夺去忠贞者的辩才，剥去年老者的理智： | 20He compels advisers to keep silent, and strips elders of their discernment. |
| 21使贵人备受侮辱，使勇士的腰带松弛； | 21He puts princes to shame; he unties the girdle of the strong. |
| 22使隐秘的事由暗处彰显，使黑暗进入光明； | 22(He uncovers the gloomy recesses and brings the deep darkness to light.) |
| 23使邦国兴起而又灭亡，使民族强大而又消散； | 23He makes a nation rise and fall, a people to grow and to dwindle. |
| 24剥去国君的理智，使他们漂泊于无路的荒野中， | 24He deprives leaders of their judgment, leaving them to roam in a trackless waste. |
| 25在无光的黑暗中摸索，踉跄犹如醉汉。 | 25Without light, they grope in the dark and stagger like drunkards. |
