1Respondens autem Job dixit:
1Then Job answered:
2[Cujus adjutor es? numquid imbecillis? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis?
2“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3Cui dedisti consilium? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam: et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam.
3How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4Quem docere voluisti? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum?
4To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis.
5The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
6Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni.
6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum.
7He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum.
8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam.
9He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebræ.
10He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11Columnæ cæli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus.
11The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum.
12By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13Spiritus ejus ornavit cælos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus.
13By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14Ecce hæc ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus: et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri?]
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?”
