Job 36
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eliu also proceeded, and said: | Addens quoque Eliu, haec locutus est: |
| 2 | Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee: for I have yet somewhat to speak in God’s behalf. | Sustine me paululum, et indicabo tibi: adhuc enim habeo quod pro Deo loquar. |
| 3 | I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just. | Repetam scientiam meam a principio, et operatorem meum probabo iustum. |
| 4 | For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee. | Vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei, et perfecta scientia probabitur tibi. |
| 5 | God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty. | Deus potentes non abiicit, cum et ipse sit potens: |
| 6 | But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor. | sed non salvat impios, et iudicium pauperibus tribuit. |
| 7 | He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted. | Non auferet a iusto oculos suos: et reges in solio collocat in perpetuum, et illi eriguntur. |
| 8 | And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty: | Et si fuerint in catenis, et vinciantur funibus paupertatis, |
| 9 | He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent. | indicabit eis opera eorum, et scelera eorum, quia violenti fuerunt. |
| 10 | He also shall open their ear, to correct them: and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity. | Revelabit quoque aurem eorum, ut corripiat: et loquetur, ut revertantur ab iniquitate. |
| 11 | If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory. | Si audierint et observaverint, complebunt dies suos in bono, et annos suos in gloria: |
| 12 | But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly. | si autem non audierint, transibunt per gladium, et consumentur in stultitia. |
| 13 | Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound. | Simulatores et callidi provocant iram Dei, neque clamabunt cum vincti fuerint. |
| 14 | Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate. | Morietur in tempestate anima eorum, et vita eorum inter effeminatos. |
| 15 | He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction. | Eripiet de angustia sua pauperem, et revelabit in tribulatione aurem eius. |
| 16 | Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it: and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness. | Igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime, et non habente fundamentum subter se: requies autem mensae tuae erit plena pinguedine. |
| 17 | Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover. | Causa tua quasi impii iudicata est: causam iudiciumque recipies. |
| 18 | Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man: neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside. | Non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas: nec multitudo donorum inclinet te. |
| 19 | Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength. | Depone magnitudinem tuam absque tribulatione, et omnes robustos fortitudine. |
| 20 | Prolong not the night that people may come up for them. | Ne protrahas noctem, ut ascendant populi pro eis. |
| 21 | Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity: for this thou hast begun to follow after misery. | Cave ne declines ad iniquitatem: hanc enim coepisti sequi post miseriam. |
| 22 | Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers. | Ecce Deus excelsus in fortitudine sua, et nullus ei similis in legislatoribus. |
| 23 | Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him: Thou has wrought iniquity? | Quis poterit scrutari vias eius? aut quis potest ei dicere: Operatus es iniquitatem? |
| 24 | Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung. | Memento quod ignores opus eius, de quo cecinerunt viri. |
| 25 | All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off. | Omnes homines vident eum: unusquisque intuetur procul. |
| 26 | Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge: the number of his years is inestimable. | Ecce Deus magnus vincens scientiam nostram: numerus annorum eius inaestimabilis. |
| 27 | He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods: | Qui aufert stillas pluviae, et effundit imbres ad instar gurgitum, |
| 28 | Which flow from the clouds that cover all above. | qui de nubibus fluunt quae praetexunt cuncta desuper. |
| 29 | If he will spread out clouds as his tent, | Si voluerit extendere nubes quasi tentorium suum, |
| 30 | And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea. | et fulgurare lumine suo desuper, cardines quoque maris operiet. |
| 31 | For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals. | Per haec enim iudicat populos, et dat escas multis mortalibus. |
| 32 | In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again. | In manibus abscondit lucem, et praecepit ei ut rursus adveniat. |
| 33 | He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it. | Annuntiat de ea amico suo, quod possessio eius sit, et ad eam possit ascendere. |
