Catholic Public Domain Bible	Bible de Jérusalem
¹ Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:	¹ Job continua de s'exprimer en sentences et dit:
² Who will grant to me that I might be as I was in former months, according to the days when God kept watch over me?	² Qui me fera revivre les mois d'antan, ces jours où Dieu veillait sur moi,
³ At that time, his lamp shined over my head, and by his light, I walked through the darkness.	³ où sa lampe brillait sur ma tête et sa lumière me guidait dans les ténèbres!
⁴ I was then just as in the days of my youth, when God was privately in my tabernacle.	⁴ Puissé-je revoir les jours de mon automne, quand Dieu protégeait ma tente,
⁵ At that time, the Almighty was with me and my children surrounded me.	⁵ que Shaddaï demeurait avec moi et que mes garçons m'entouraient;
⁶ Then, I washed my feet with butter, and a boulder poured out rivers of oil for me.	⁶ quand mes pieds baignaient dans le laitage, et du rocher coulaient des ruisseaux d'huile!
⁷ When I went to the gate of the city, or to the main street, they prepared a chair for me.	⁷ Si je sortais vers la porte de la ville, si j'installais mon siège sur la place,
⁸ The youths saw me and hid themselves, and the elders, rising up, remained standing.	⁸ à ma vue, les jeunes gens se retiraient, les vieillards se mettaient debout.
⁹ The leaders stopped talking, and they placed a finder over their mouth.	⁹ Les notables arrêtaient leurs discours et mettaient la main sur leur bouche.
¹⁰ The commanders subdued their voice, and their tongue adhered to their throat.	¹⁰ La voix des chefs s'étouffait et leur langue se collait au palais.
¹¹ The ear that heard me, blessed me, and the eye that saw me, gave testimony for me.	¹¹ A m'entendre, on me félicitait, à me voir, on me rendait témoignage.
¹² This was because I had freed the poor, who cried out, and the orphan, who had no helper.	¹² Car je délivrais le pauvre en détresse et l'orphelin privé d'appui.
¹³ The blessing of him who would have been destroyed came upon me, and I consoled the heart of the widow.	¹³ La bénédiction du mourant se posait sur moi et je rendais la joie au coeur de la veuve.
¹⁴ I put on justice, and I clothed myself with my judgment, like a robe and a diadem.	¹⁴ J'avais revêtu la justice comme un vêtement, j'avais le droit pour manteau et turban.
¹⁵ I was an eye for the blind and a foot for the lame.	¹⁵ J'étais les yeux de l'aveugle, les pieds du boiteux.
¹⁶ I was the father of the poor; and if I lacked knowledge about any case, I investigated very diligently.	¹⁶ C'était moi le père des pauvres; la cause d'un inconnu, je l'examinais.
¹⁷ I crushed the jaws of the impious, and I took away prey from his teeth.	¹⁷ Je brisais les crocs de l'homme inique, d'entre ses dents j'arrachais sa proie.
¹⁸ And I said, “I will die in my little nest, and like a palm tree, I will multiply my days.	¹⁸ Et je disais: "Je mourrai dans ma fierté, après des jours nombreux comme le sable.
¹⁹ My root has been spread beside the waters, and the dew will remain with my harvest.	¹⁹ Mes racines ont accès à l'eau, la rosée se dépose la nuit sur mon feuillage.
²⁰ My glory will always be restored, and my bow will be restored to my hand.”	²⁰ Ma gloire sera toujours nouvelle et dans ma main mon arc reprendra force.
²¹ Those who heard me, expected vindication, and they listened closely in silence to my counsel.	²¹ Ils m'écoutaient, dans l'attente, silencieux pour entendre mon avis.
²² To my words, they dared to add nothing, and my eloquence poured over them.	²² Quand j'avais parlé, nul ne répliquait, et sur eux, goutte à goutte, tombaient mes paroles.
²³ They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for belated rains.	²³ Ils m'attendaient comme la pluie, leur bouche s'ouvrait comme pour l'ondée tardive.
²⁴ If I had ever laughed at them, they would not have believed it, and the light of my face was not cast down towards the ground.	²⁴ Si je leur souriais, ils n'osaient y croire, ils recueillaient sur mon visage tout signe de faveur.
²⁵ If I wished to go to them, I sat down first, and, though I sat like a king surrounded by an army, yet I was a comforter to whose who mourned.	²⁵ Je leur indiquais la route en siégeant à leur tête, tel un roi installé parmi ses troupes, et je les menaispartout à mon gré.
