Comparison
Job 32
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself. | Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Iob, eo quod iustus sibi videretur. |
| 2 | And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God. | Et iratus indignatusque est Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ram: iratus est autem adversum Iob, eo quod iustum se esse diceret coram Deo. |
| 3 | And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job. | Porro adversum amicos eius indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Iob. |
| 4 | So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking. | Igitur Eliu expectavit Iob loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur. |
| 5 | But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry. | Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer. |
| 6 | Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient; therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion. | Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit: Iunior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores: idcirco, demisso capite, veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam. |
| 7 | For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom. | Sperabam enim quod aetas prolixior loqueretur, et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam. |
| 8 | But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding. | Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus, et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam. |
| 9 | They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment. | Non sunt longaevi sapientes, nec senes intelligunt iudicium. |
| 10 | Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom. | Ideo dicam: Audite me: ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam. |
| 11 | For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words. | Expectavi enim sermones vestros; audivi prudentiam vestram, donec disceptaremini sermonibus; |
| 12 | And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words. | et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam: sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Iob, et respondere ex vobis sermonibus eius. |
| 13 | Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man. | Ne forte dicatis: Invenimus sapientiam: Deus proiecit eum, non homo. |
| 14 | He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words. | Nihil locutus est mihi: et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi. |
| 15 | They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking. | Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra, abstuleruntque a se eloquia. |
| 16 | Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more: | Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti: steterunt, nec ultra responderunt: |
| 17 | I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge. | respondebo et ego partem meam, et ostendam scientiam meam. |
| 18 | For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me. | Plenus sum enim sermonibus, et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei. |
| 19 | Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels. | En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo, quod lagunculas novas disrumpit. |
| 20 | I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer. | Loquar, et respirabo paululum: aperiam labia mea, et respondebo. |
| 21 | I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man. | Non accipiam personam viri, et Deum homini non aequabo. |
| 22 | For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away. | Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam, et si post modicum tollat me factor meus. |
