Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:
1耶和華又對 約伯 說：
2Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
2強辯的豈可與全能者爭論嗎？ 與上帝辯駁的可以回答這些吧！
3Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?
3於是， 約伯 回答耶和華說：
4And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
4我是卑賤的！我用甚麼回答你呢？ 只好用手摀口。
5Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.
5我說了一次，再不回答； 說了兩次，就不再說。
6Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.
6於是，耶和華從旋風中回答 約伯 說：
7Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.
7你要如勇士束腰； 我問你，你可以指示我。
8Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.
8你豈可廢棄我所擬定的？ 豈可定我有罪，好顯自己為義嗎？
9Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.
9你有上帝那樣的膀臂嗎？ 你能像他發雷聲嗎？
10Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.
10你要以榮耀莊嚴為妝飾， 以尊榮威嚴為衣服；
11His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.
11要發出你滿溢的怒氣， 見一切驕傲的人，使他降卑；
12He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.
12見一切驕傲的人，將他制伏， 把惡人踐踏在本處；
13His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.
13將他們一同隱藏在塵土中， 把他們的臉蒙蔽在隱密處；
14He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.
14我就認你右手能以救自己。
15To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play.
15你且觀看河馬； 我造你也造牠。 牠吃草與牛一樣；
16He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.
16牠的氣力在腰間， 能力在肚腹的筋上。
17The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.
17牠搖動尾巴如香柏樹； 牠大腿的筋互相聯絡。
18Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.
18牠的骨頭 好像 銅管； 牠的肢體彷彿鐵棍。
19In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.
19牠在上帝所造的物中為首； 創造牠的給牠刀劍。
20Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?
20諸山給牠出食物， 也是百獸遊玩之處。
21Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?
21牠伏在蓮葉之下， 臥在蘆葦隱密處和水窪子裏。
22Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?
22蓮葉的陰涼遮蔽牠； 溪旁的柳樹環繞牠。
23Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?
23河水泛濫，牠不發戰； 就是 約旦河 的水漲到牠口邊，也是安然。
24Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?
24在牠防備的時候，誰能捉拿牠？ 誰能牢籠牠穿牠的鼻子呢？
25Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?
