Job 26
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Louis Segond 1910
1Then Job answered and said:
1Job prit la parole et dit:
2How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
2Comme tu sais bien venir en aide à la faiblesse! Comme tu prêtes secours au bras sans force!
3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
3Quels bons conseils tu donnes à celui qui manque d’intelligence! Quelle abondance de sagesse tu fais paraître!
4With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
4A qui s’adressent tes paroles? Et qui est-ce qui t’inspire?
5The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
5Devant Dieu les ombres tremblent Au-dessous des eaux et de leurs habitants;
6The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering.
6Devant lui le séjour des morts est nu, L’abîme n’a point de voile.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
7Il étend le septentrion sur le vide, Il suspend la terre sur le néant.
8He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
8Il renferme les eaux dans ses nuages, Et les nuages n’éclatent pas sous leur poids.
9He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
9Il couvre la face de son trône, Il répand sur lui sa nuée.
10He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
10Il a tracé un cercle à la surface des eaux, Comme limite entre la lumière et les ténèbres.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
11Les colonnes du ciel s’ébranlent, Et s’étonnent à sa menace.
12He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
12Par sa force il soulève la mer, Par son intelligence il en brise l’orgueil.
13By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
13Son souffle donne au ciel la sérénité, Sa main transperce le serpent fuyard.
14Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
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?
