| 1上主又接着问约伯说： | 1Yahweh said to Job: |
| 2好辩之士，岂能同全能者辩论？非难天主的，请答复这一切！ | 2Must a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who would correct God answer. |
| 3约伯回答上主说： | 3Job said: |
| 4「看，我这么卑贱，我能回答什么？只好用手掩口。 | 4How can I reply, unworthy as I am! All I can do is put my hand over my mouth. |
| 5我说过一次，再不敢重复；我再说一次：我不敢再说什么！」 | 5I have spoken once, now I will not answer; oh, yes, twice, but I will do no further. Yahweh's discourse continues |
| 6上主由旋风中回答约伯说： | 6Then Yahweh addressed Job out of the storm: |
| 7你要像勇士束好腰，我要问你，请指教我。 | 7Gird up your loins like a man; I will question you, and you must answer. |
| 8你岂能推翻我的评断，归罪于我，而自以为有理？ | 8Would you deny my right and condemn me that you may be justified? |
| 9你的手臂岂能同天主的相比？你的声音，那能像雷鸣？ | 9Have you an arm like that of God, and can you thunder with a voice like this? |
| 10请你以尊贵和高雅作你的点缀，以光华美丽作你的衣裳； | 10Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, array yourself with grandeur and majesty. |
| 11发泄你的烈怒，贬抑一切高傲的人； | 11Unleash the fury of your wrath; |
| 12视察一切傲慢的人，且加以制服，推翻恶人所处的地位； | 12look for every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked where they stand. |
| 13将他们一同埋在土中，把他们都关在黑暗中 | 13Bury them all in the dust, lock them in the dungeon. |
| 14如果你能这样作，我也要称赞你，因为你的右手救护了你。 | 14If you can do this, I myself will praise you, admittting that your right hand can save you. |
| 15且看河马，牠同你都是我造成的，牠像牛一样吃草。 | 15Just think about Behemoth, who feeds on grass like the ox. |
| 16牠的精力全在腰部，牠的力量是在腹部的肌肉； | 16What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! |
| 17牠挺起尾巴好像香柏，大腿上的筋联结在一起； | 17Like a cedar his tail sways, the sinews of his thighs are like cables. |
| 18牠的脊骨好似铜管，牠的骨骸有如铁杠。 | 18His bones like tubes of bronze, his limbs like iron rods. |
| 19牠是天主的杰作，造牠者赐给了牠利刃。 | 19He is first among the works of God, created to dominate his companions. |
| 20群山供给牠食物，百兽在那里同牠游戏。 | 20The mountains give him their produce, as do all the wild beasts who play there. |
| 21牠卧在莲叶之下，躺在芦苇和沼泽深处； | 21Under the lotus trees he lies, hidden among the reeds of the marsh. |
| 22莲叶的荫影遮蔽着牠，溪边的杨柳掩护着牠。 | 22The lotus trees cover him with their shade; the poplar trees on the bank surround him. |
| 23河水涨溢之时，牠毫不战栗；约但河涨到牠口边，牠仍安宁。 | 23He is not alarmed though the river rages and torrents surge against his mouth. |
| 24谁能在牠目前捕捉牠，或以木橛穿透牠的鼻孔？ | 24Who can capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose? |
| 25你岂能以鱼钩钩上鳄鱼？以绳索缚住牠的舌头？ | 25Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook, or curb his tongue with a bit? |
| 26你岂能以鼻圈穿过牠的鼻子，以钩子刺透牠的腮骨？ | 26Can you put a ring through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook? |
| 27牠岂能再三向你哀求，向你说甜言蜜语？ | 27Will he keep begging you for mercy, or speak to you with tender words? |
| 28牠岂能同你订立盟约，使自己常作你的奴隶？ | 28Will you make him your slave forever? |
| 29你岂能玩弄牠像玩弄小鸟，将牠缚着作你女儿的玩物？ | 29Will you make a pet of him like a bird, or put him on a leash for your maids? |
| 30结伙的渔人不是想在牠身谋利，将牠售与商人？ | 30Will traders bargain for him? Will merchants sell him retail? |
| 31你岂能以长矛穿透牠的皮，以鱼叉刺透牠的头颅？ | 31Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fish spears? |
| 32将你的掌抚在牠身上罢！若你想到恶斗，决不敢再抚。 | 32Just try and lay a hand on him - you will not forget the struggle, and you will never do it again! |
