Comparison
Job 41
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel: for who can resist my countenance? | Non quasi crudelis suscitabo eum: quis enim resistere potest vultui meo? |
| 2 | Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine. | Quis ante dedit mihi, ut reddam ei? omnia quae sub caelo sunt, mea sunt. |
| 3 | I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication. | Non parcam ei, et verbis potentibus, et ad deprecandum compositis. |
| 4 | Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth? | Quis revelabit faciem indumenti eius? et in medium oris eius quis intrabit? |
| 5 | Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. | Portas vultus eius quis aperiet? per gyrum dentium eius formido. |
| 6 | His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another. | Corpus illius quasi scuta fusilia, compactum squamis se prementibus. |
| 7 | One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them: | Una uni coniungitur, et ne spiraculum quidem incedit per eas. |
| 8 | They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated. | Una alteri adhaerebit, et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur. |
| 9 | His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning. | Sternutatio eius splendor ignis, et oculi eius ut palpebrae diluculi. |
| 10 | Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire. | De ore eius lampades procedunt, sicut taedae ignis accensae. |
| 11 | Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling. | De naribus eius procedit fumus, sicut ollae succensae atque ferventis. |
| 12 | His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth. | Halitus eius prunas ardere facit, et flamma de ore eius egreditur. |
| 13 | In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face. | In collo eius morabitur fortitudo, et faciem eius praecedit egestas. |
| 14 | The members of his flesh cleave one to another: he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place. | Membra carnium eius cohaerentia sibi: mittet contra eum fulmina, et ad locum alium non ferentur. |
| 15 | His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith’s anvil. | Cor eius indurabitur tamquam lapis, et stringetur quasi malleatoris incus. |
| 16 | When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves. | Cum sublatus fuerit, timebunt angeli, et territi purgabuntur. |
| 17 | When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate. | Cum apprehenderit eum gladius, subsistere non poterit, neque hasta, neque thorax: |
| 18 | For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. | reputabit enim quasi paleas ferrum, et quasi lignum putridum aes. |
| 19 | The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble. | Non fugabit eum vir sagittarius: in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fundae. |
| 20 | As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear. | Quasi stipulam aestimabit malleum, et deridebit vibrantem hastam. |
| 21 | The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire. | Sub ipso erunt radii solis, et sternet sibi aurum quasi lutum. |
| 22 | He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil. | Fervescere faciet quasi ollam profundum mare, et ponet quasi cum unguenta bulliunt. |
| 23 | A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old. | Post eum lucebit semita: aestimabit abyssum quasi senescentem. |
| 24 | There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one. | Non est super terram potestas quae comparetur ei, qui factus est ut nullum timeret. |
| 25 | He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride. | Omne sublime videt: ipse est rex super universos filios superbiae. |
