Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

26:1
וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει
Respondens autem Job dixit :
ኀበ፡ ተናገረ፡ ኢዮብ፡ አውሥአ፡ ወይቤ።
Then Job answered,
26:2
מֶה־עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹ֑חַ ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז׃
τίνι πρόσκεισαι ἢ τίνι μέλλεις βοηθεῖν πότερον οὐχ ᾧ πολλὴ ἰσχὺς καὶ ᾧ βραχίων κραταιός ἐστιν
Cujus adjutor es ? numquid imbecillis ? et sustentas brachium ejus qui non est fortis ?
መነ፡ ትሠውቅ፡ ወመነ፡ ትፈቅድ፡ ትርዳእ፡ ቅድሜሁ፡ አኮኑ፡ ዘብዙኅ፡ ኃይሉ፡ ወብዙኅ፡ መዝታዕቱ።
“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
26:3
מַה־יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְלֹ֣א חׇכְמָ֑ה וְ֝תֻשִׁיָּ֗ה לָרֹ֥ב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ׃
τίνι συμβεβούλευσαι οὐχ ᾧ πᾶσα σοφία ἢ τίνι ἐπακολουθήσεις οὐχ ᾧ μεγίστη δύναμις
Cui dedisti consilium ? forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam : et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam.
ወለመኑ፡ ትመክር፡ እኮኑ፡ ዘሎቱ፡ ጥበብ፡ ወለመኑ፡ ትትኃሠሥ፡ አኮኑ፡ ዘጽኑዕ፡ ኃይሉ።
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
26:4
אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝֗י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ׃
τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ῥήματα πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐξελθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ
Quem docere voluisti ? nonne eum qui fecit spiramentum ?
ወለመኑ፡ ታየድዕ፡ ነገረ፡ መንፈስ፡ ወመኑ፡ መንፈስ፡ ዘይወፅእ፡ እምኔከ።
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
26:5
הָרְפָאִ֥ים יְחוֹלָ֑לוּ מִתַּ֥חַת מַ֝֗יִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶֽם׃
μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ
Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis, et qui habitant cum eis.
እለ፡ ያርብኅኑ፡ ገፍዑኒ፡ ማይ፡ ዘመተሕቱ፡ ወዘውስቴቱ፡ እኮኑ፡ እግዚአብሔር።
“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
26:6
עָר֣וֹם שְׁא֣וֹל נֶגְדּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃
γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐπώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ
Nudus est infernus coram illo, et nullum est operimentum perditioni.
ክሡት፡ ሲኦል፡ በቅድሜሁ፡ ወአልቦ፡ ምንትኒ፡ ዘይሤወሮ።
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
26:7
נֹטֶ֣ה צָפ֣וֹן עַל־תֹּ֑הוּ תֹּ֥לֶה אֶ֝֗רֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָֽה׃
ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ’ οὐδέν κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός
Qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum, et appendit terram super nihilum.
ዘሰፍሖ፡ ለሰማይ፡ ዲበ፡ ወኢምንት፡ ወሰቀላ፡ ለምድር፡ ዲበ፡ ዕራቁ።
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
26:8
צֹרֵֽר־מַ֥יִם בְּעָבָ֑יו וְלֹֽא־נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם׃
δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ
Qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis, ut non erumpant pariter deorsum.
ወየጫቊሮ፡ ለማይ፡ ዲበ፡ ደመና፡ ወኢይሠጠጥ፡ ደመናሁ፡ በታግቴሁ።
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
26:9
מְאַחֵ֥ז פְּנֵֽי־כִסֵּ֑ה פַּרְשֵׁ֖ז עָלָ֣יו עֲנָנֽוֹ׃
ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου ἐκπετάζων ἐπ’ αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ
Qui tenet vultum solii sui, et expandit super illud nebulam suam.
ዘውእቱ፡ ብውሕ፡ ሎቱ፡ ይብበር፡ ዲበ፡ መንበሩ፡ ወይሠይም፡ ላዕሌሁ፡ ግብተ፡ ለለሰዓቱ።
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
26:10
חֹֽק־חָ֭ג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָ֑יִם עַד־תַּכְלִ֖ית א֣וֹר עִם־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
πρόσταγμα ἐγύρωσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος μέχρι συντελείας φωτὸς μετὰ σκότους
Terminum circumdedit aquis, usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae.
ወሐፀሮ፡ ሰማይ፡ በትእዛዙ፡ ወእስከ፡ አመ፡ የኃልቅ፡ ይትባረይ፡ ብርሃን፡ ምስለ፡ ሰድልመት።

26:11
עַמּוּדֵ֣י שָׁמַ֣יִם יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝יִתְמְה֗וּ מִגַּעֲרָתֽוֹ׃
στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ
Columnae caeli contremiscunt, et pavent ad nutum ejus.
ወሣረረ፡ አዕማደ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወኢድኅፀ፡ እምተእዛዙ፡ ወይገነግፁ፡ እምተግሣፁ።
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
26:12
בְּ֭כֹחוֹ רָגַ֣ע הַיָּ֑ם (ובתובנתו) [וּ֝בִתְבוּנָת֗וֹ] מָ֣חַץ רָֽהַב׃
ἰσχύι κατέπαυσεν τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπιστήμῃ δὲ ἔτρωσε τὸ κῆτος
In fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt, et prudentia ejus percussit superbum.

κλεῖθρα δὲ οὐρανοῦ δεδοίκασιν αὐτόν προστάγματι δὲ ἐθανάτωσεν δράκοντα ἀποστάτην
Spiritus ejus ornavit caelos, et obstetricante manu ejus, eductus est coluber tortuosus.
መዓፀውተ፡ ሲኦልኒ፡ አድረዉ፡ ሎቱ፡ ወቀተሎ፡ ለከይሲ፡ ዓላዊ፡ በተግሣፁ።

הֶן־אֵ֤לֶּה׀ קְצ֬וֹת דְּרָכָ֗ו וּמַה־שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־בּ֑וֹ וְרַ֥עַם גְּ֝בוּרֹתָ֗ו מִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ {פ}
ἰδοὺ ταῦτα μέρη ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ ἰκμάδα λόγου ἀκουσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ σθένος δὲ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ τίς οἶδεν ὁπότε ποιήσει
Ecce haec ex parte dicta sunt viarum ejus : et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis ejus audierimus, quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri ?
ናሁ፡ ዝ፡ መክፈልተ፡ ፍኖቱ፡ ወናጸምእ፡ ነገራቶሂ፡ እለ፡ ተርፉ፡ ወድምፀ፡ ፀዓዑ፡ መኑ፡ የአምር፡ ጊዜ፡ ይገብር።
