Berean Standard Bible
1Job prit la parole et dit:
1Then Job answered:
2Comme tu sais bien venir en aide à la faiblesse! Comme tu prêtes secours au bras sans force!
2“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3Quels bons conseils tu donnes à celui qui manque d’intelligence! Quelle abondance de sagesse tu fais paraître!
3How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4A qui s’adressent tes paroles? Et qui est-ce qui t’inspire?
4To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5Devant Dieu les ombres tremblent Au-dessous des eaux et de leurs habitants;
5The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
6Devant lui le séjour des morts est nu, L’abîme n’a point de voile.
6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7Il étend le septentrion sur le vide, Il suspend la terre sur le néant.
7He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8Il renferme les eaux dans ses nuages, Et les nuages n’éclatent pas sous leur poids.
8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9Il couvre la face de son trône, Il répand sur lui sa nuée.
9He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10Il a tracé un cercle à la surface des eaux, Comme limite entre la lumière et les ténèbres.
10He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11Les colonnes du ciel s’ébranlent, Et s’étonnent à sa menace.
11The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12Par sa force il soulève la mer, Par son intelligence il en brise l’orgueil.
12By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13Son souffle donne au ciel la sérénité, Sa main transperce le serpent fuyard.
13By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14Ce sont là les bords de ses voies, C’est le bruit léger qui nous en parvient; Mais qui entendra le tonnerre de sa puissance?
14Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
