World English 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 have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3Quels bons conseils tu donnes à celui qui manque d’intelligence! Quelle abondance de sagesse tu fais paraître!
3How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4A qui s’adressent tes paroles? Et qui est-ce qui t’inspire?
4To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
5Devant Dieu les ombres tremblent Au-dessous des eaux et de leurs habitants;
5“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live 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, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8Il renferme les eaux dans ses nuages, Et les nuages n’éclatent pas sous leur poids.
8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9Il couvre la face de son trône, Il répand sur lui sa nuée.
9He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10Il a tracé un cercle à la surface des eaux, Comme limite entre la lumière et les ténèbres.
10He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11Les colonnes du ciel s’ébranlent, Et s’étonnent à sa menace.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12Par sa force il soulève la mer, Par son intelligence il en brise l’orgueil.
12He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13Son souffle donne au ciel la sérénité, Sa main transperce le serpent fuyard.
13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift 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?
14Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
