Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1“Man, who is born of woman, is short of days and full of trouble.
1[Homo natus de muliere, brevi vivens tempore, repletur multis miseriis.
2Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away; like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.
2Qui quasi flos egreditur et conteritur, et fugit velut umbra, et numquam in eodem statu permanet.
3Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?
3Et dignum ducis super hujuscemodi aperire oculos tuos, et adducere eum tecum in judicium?
4Who can bring out clean from unclean? No one!
4Quis potest facere mundum de immundo conceptum semine? nonne tu qui solus es?
5Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed,
5Breves dies hominis sunt: numerus mensium ejus apud te est: constituisti terminos ejus, qui præteriri non poterunt.
6look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.
6Recede paululum ab eo, ut quiescat, donec optata veniat, sicut mercenarii, dies ejus.
7For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.
7Lignum habet spem: si præcisum fuerit, rursum virescit, et rami ejus pullulant.
8If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil,
8Si senuerit in terra radix ejus, et in pulvere emortuus fuerit truncus illius,
9at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.
9ad odorem aquæ germinabit, et faciet comam, quasi cum primum plantatum est.
10But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?
10Homo vero cum mortuus fuerit, et nudatus, atque consumptus, ubi, quæso, est?
11As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,
11Quomodo si recedant aquæ de mari, et fluvius vacuefactus arescat:
12so a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, he will not be awakened or roused from sleep.
12sic homo, cum dormierit, non resurget: donec atteratur cælum, non evigilabit, nec consurget de somno suo.
13If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!
13Quis mihi hoc tribuat, ut in inferno protegas me, et abscondas me donec pertranseat furor tuus, et constituas mihi tempus in quo recorderis mei?
14When a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, until my renewal comes.
14Putasne mortuus homo rursum vivat? cunctis diebus quibus nunc milito, expecto donec veniat immutatio mea.
15You will call, and I will answer; You will desire the work of Your hands.
15Vocabis me, et ego respondebo tibi: operi manuum tuarum porriges dexteram.
16For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin.
16Tu quidem gressus meos dinumerasti: sed parce peccatis meis.
17My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and You would cover over my iniquity.
17Signasti quasi in sacculo delicta mea, sed curasti iniquitatem meam.
18But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,
18Mons cadens defluit, et saxum transfertur de loco suo:
19as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
19lapides excavant aquæ, et alluvione paulatim terra consumitur: et hominem ergo similiter perdes.
20You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.
20Roborasti eum paululum, ut in perpetuum transiret: immutabis faciem ejus, et emittes eum.
21If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.
21Sive nobiles fuerint filii ejus, sive ignobiles, non intelliget.
22He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”
22Attamen caro ejus, dum vivet, dolebit, et anima illius super semetipso lugebit.]
