| 1 ܘܥܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܝܘܒ | 1 And the LORD said to Job: |
| 2 ܣ̈ܓܝܐܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟ̣ܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡ̇ܢ ܕܡ̇ܟܣ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܝ̇ܗܒ ܦܬܓܡܐ | 2 "Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it." |
| 3 ܘܥܢܐ ܐܝܘܒ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܪܝܐ | 3 Then Job answered the LORD: |
| 4 ܒܨܪܬ ܠܝ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܝܒܟ ܣܡܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܥܠ ܦܘܡܝ | 4 "Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay my hand on my mouth. |
| 5 ܚܕܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܠ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܘܕܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܘܣܦ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ | 5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further." |
| 6 ܘܥܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܝܘܒ ܡܢ ܥܠܥܠܐ | 6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind: |
| 7 ܐܣܘܪ ܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܓܢܒܪܐ ܚ̈ܨܝܟ ܐܫܐܠܟ ܐܘܕܥܝܢܝ | 7 "Gird up your loins like a man; I will question you, and you declare to me. |
| 8 ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܒܛܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܘܡܚܝܒ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܕܬܙܟܐ | 8 Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be justified? |
| 9 ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܕܪܥܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܪܥ̇ܡ ܐܢܬ ܒܩܠܐ ܐܟܘܬܗ | 9 Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his? |
| 10 ܠܒܫ ܓܐܝܘܬܐ ܘܓܢܒܪܘܬܐ ܘܐܬܥܛܦ ܙܝܘܐ ܘܗܕܪܐ | 10 "Deck yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor. |
| 11 ܘܐܫܘܕ ܚܡܬܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܟ ܘܚܙܝ ܟܠ ܕܪܡ ܣܚܘܦܝܗܝ | 11 Pour forth the overflowings of your anger, and look on every one that is proud, and abase him. |
| 12 ܘܐܪܡܐ ܠܚ̈ܛܝܐ ܒܕܘܟܬܗܘܢ | 12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked where they stand. |
| 13 ܘܐܟܚܕܐ ܒܥܦܪܐ ܛܡܘܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐ̈ܦܝܗܘܢ ܚܒܘܫ ܒܕܚܝܚܐ | 13 Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below. |
| 14 ܘܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܫܒܚܟ ܡܐ ܕܦܪܩܬܟ ܝܡܝܢܟ | 14 Then will I also acknowledge to you, that your own right hand can give you victory. |
| 15 ܗܐ ܒܗܡܘܬ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܥܡܟ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܘܪܐ ܐ̇ܟܠ | 15 "Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. |
| 16 ܘܥܘܫܢܗ ܒܣܬܪܗ | 16 Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. |
| 17 ܙܩ̇ܦ ܕܘܢܒܗ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܙܐ ܘܙܩܝܦܝܢ ܓܝ̈ܕܐ ܕܦܘܚ̈ܕܘܗܝ | 17 He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. |
| 18 ܓܪ̈ܡܘܗܝ ܥܫܝ̈ܢܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܢܚܫܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܦܪܙܠܐ | 18 His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron. |
| 19 ܗܘܝܘ ܪܝܫ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܒܪ̈ܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܒܕܗ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܩܪܒܐ | 19 "He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword! |
| 20 ܘܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܫܩܝܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܟܠܗ̇ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܕܒܪܐ | 20 For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play. |
| 21 ܬܚܝܬ ܛܠܠܗ ܕܡܟܐ ܘܒܣܬܪܐ ܕܩܢܝܐ ܪܒ̇ܥ | 21 Under the lotus plants he lies, in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh. |
| 22 ܟܪ̈ܝܟܝܢ ܠܗ ܛ̈ܠܠܐ ܘܟܪ̈ܝܟܝܢ ܠܗ ܥܘܪ̈ܒܐ ܕܢܚܠܐ | 22 For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him. |
