1Job prit la parole et dit:
1Then Job answered, and said:
2Comme tu sais bien venir en aide à la faiblesse! Comme tu prêtes secours au bras sans force!
2Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3Quels bons conseils tu donnes à celui qui manque d’intelligence! Quelle abondance de sagesse tu fais paraître!
3To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4A qui s’adressent tes paroles? Et qui est-ce qui t’inspire?
4Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5Devant Dieu les ombres tremblent Au-dessous des eaux et de leurs habitants;
5Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
6Devant lui le séjour des morts est nu, L’abîme n’a point de voile.
6Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction.
7Il étend le septentrion sur le vide, Il suspend la terre sur le néant.
7He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8Il renferme les eaux dans ses nuages, Et les nuages n’éclatent pas sous leur poids.
8He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9Il couvre la face de son trône, Il répand sur lui sa nuée.
9He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10Il a tracé un cercle à la surface des eaux, Comme limite entre la lumière et les ténèbres.
10He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11Les colonnes du ciel s’ébranlent, Et s’étonnent à sa menace.
11The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12Par sa force il soulève la mer, Par son intelligence il en brise l’orgueil.
12By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13Son souffle donne au ciel la sérénité, Sa main transperce le serpent fuyard.
13His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding 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?
14Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
