37:1 为此我心战栗，跳离它的原位。
At this my heart trembles and leaps out of its place, 37:2 你们且细听天主的怒吼声，听那从他口中发出的巨响。
To hear his angry voice as it rumbles forth from his mouth! 37:3 他令闪电炫耀天下，使之照射地极；
Everywhere under the heavens he sends it, with his lightning, to the ends of the earth. 37:4 接着是雷声隆隆，那是天主威严之声；他的巨声一响，没有什么能够阻止。
Again his voice roars ? the majestic sound of his thunder. 37:5 天主每以巨响施行奇事，做出我们莫测的事。
He does great things beyond our knowing; wonders past our searching out. 37:6 他命令雪说：「落在大地上!」对暴雨说：「倾盆而降!」
For he says to the snow, "Fall to the earth"; likewise to his heavy, drenching rain. 37:7 人人都停止活动，为叫人知道，这是他的作为。
He shuts up all mankind indoors; 37:8 野兽逃回洞穴，卧于自己的窝中。
the wild beasts take to cover and remain quietly in their dens. 37:9 暴风来自南极密宫，严寒出自极北之地。
Out of its chamber comes forth the tempest; from the north winds, the cold. 37:10 天主嘘气成冰，使大水凝成一片。
With his breath God brings the frost, and the broad waters become congealed. 37:11 他使云雾满涵湿气，使闪光穿过乌云。
With hail, also, the clouds are laden, as they scatter their flashes of light. 37:12 雷电照他的指示旋转，全照他的命令实行于地面，
He it is who changes their rounds, according to his plans, in their task upon the surface of the earth, 37:13 或为惩罚大地，或为施行恩惠。
whether for punishment or mercy, as he commands. 37:14 约伯啊!你且侧耳细听这事，立着沉思天主的奇事!
Hearken to this, O Job! Stand and consider the wondrous works of God! 37:15 你岂能知道天主怎样发命，怎样使云中电光闪烁﹖
Do you know how God lays his commands upon them, and makes the light shine forth from his clouds? 37:16 云怎样浮动，全知者的奇妙化工，你岂能明白﹖
Do you know how the clouds are banked, the wondrous work of him who is perfect in knowledge? 37:17 当南风吹起，大地镇静时，你的衣服岂不是发暖﹖
You, whom the streams of water fail when a calm from the south comes over the land, 37:18 你岂能同他展开苍天，使它坚固如铸成的铜镜﹖
Do you spread out with him the firmament of the skies, hard as a brazen mirror? 37:19 我们昏愚，不能讲话，请教训我们怎样答复他。
Teach us then what we shall say to him; we cannot, for the darkness, make our plea. 37:20 我说话时，能给他讲述些什么新事﹖世人说话后，岂算是告诉他一项新闻﹖
Will he be told about it when I speak, or when a man says he is being destroyed? 37:21 现今看不见为云遮蔽的光明，除非等到风过天晴。
Nay, rather, it is as the light which men see not while it is obscured among the clouds, till the wind comes by and sweeps the clouds away. 37:22 金光来自北方，天主的四周有威严可怕的异光。
From the North the splendor comes, surrounding God’s awesome majesty! 37:23 全能者是我们不可接近的，他的能力和正义，高超绝伦；他主宰正义，决不欺压。
The Almighty! we cannot discover him, pre-eminent in power and judgment; his great justice owes no one an accounting. 37:24 所以人应敬畏他；但那心中自以为聪慧的，他却不眷顾。
Therefore men revere him, though none can see him, however wise their hearts.
