Comparison
Job 5
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Call now if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints. | Voca ergo, si est qui tibi respondeat, et ad aliquem sanctorum convertere. |
| 2 | Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one. | Vere stultum interficit iracundia, et parvulum occidit invidia. |
| 3 | I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately. | Ego vidi stultum firma radice, et maledixi pulchritudini eius statim. |
| 4 | His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them. | Longe fient filii eius a salute, et conterentur in porta, et non erit qui eruat. |
| 5 | Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches. | Cuius messem famelicus comedet, et ipsum rapiet armatus, et bibent sitientes divitias eius. |
| 6 | Nothing upon earth is done without a voice cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground. | Nihil in terra sine causa fit, et de humo non oritur dolor. |
| 7 | Man is born to labour and the bird to fly. | Homo nascitur ad laborem, et avis ad volatum. |
| 8 | Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God: | Quam ob rem ego deprecabor Dominum, et ad Deum ponam eloquium meum: |
| 9 | Who doth great things and unsearchable and wonderful things without number: | qui facit magna et inscrutabilia, et mirabilia absque numero; |
| 10 | Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters: | qui dat pluviam super faciem terrae, et irrigat aquis universa; |
| 11 | Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn. | qui ponit humiles in sublime, et moerentes erigit sospitate; |
| 12 | Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun: | qui dissipat cogitationes malignorum, ne possint implere manus eorum quod coeperant; |
| 13 | Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked: | qui apprehendit sapientes in astutia eorum, et consilium pravorum dissipat. |
| 14 | They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night. | Per diem incurrent tenebras, et quasi in nocte, sic palpabunt in meridie. |
| 15 | But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent. | Porro salvum faciet egenum a gladio oris eorum, et de manu violenti pauperem. |
| 16 | And to the needy there shall he hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth. | Et erit egeno spes; iniquitas autem contrahet os suum. |
| 17 | Blessed is the mall whom God correcteth: refuse not therefore the chastising of the lord: | Beatus homo qui corripitur a Deo: increpationem ergo Domini ne reprobes: |
| 18 | For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal. | quia ipse vulnerat, et medetur; percutit, et manus eius sanabunt. |
| 19 | In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee. | In sex tribulationibus liberabit te, et in septima non tangent te malum. |
| 20 | In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in battle, from the hand of the sword. | In fame eruet te de morte, et in bello de manu gladii. |
| 21 | Thou shalt he hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh. | A flagello linguae absconderis, et non timebis calamitatem cum venerit. |
| 22 | In destruction and famine then shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth. | In vastitate et fame ridebis, et bestias terrae non formidabis. |
| 23 | But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at pence with thee. | Sed cum lapidibus regionum pactum tuum, et bestiae terrae pacificae erunt tibi. |
| 24 | And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty thou shalt not sin. | Et scies quod pacem habeat tabernaculum tuum; et visitans speciem tuam, non peccabis. |
| 25 | Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth. | Scies quoque quoniam multiplex erit semen tuum, et progenies tua quasi herba terrae. |
| 26 | Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season. | Ingredieris in abundantia sepulchrum, sicut infertur acervus tritici in tempore suo. |
| 27 | Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind. | Ecce hoc, ut investigavimus, ita est: quod auditum, mente pertracta. |
