Job 10
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
1[Tædet animam meam vitæ meæ; dimittam adversum me eloquium meum: loquar in amaritudine animæ meæ.
2I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
2Dicam Deo: Noli me condemnare; indica mihi cur me ita judices.
3Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
3Numquid bonum tibi videtur, si calumnieris me, et opprimas me opus manuum tuarum, et consilium impiorum adjuves?
4Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
4Numquid oculi carnei tibi sunt? aut sicut videt homo, et tu videbis?
5Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man’s days,
5Numquid sicut dies hominis dies tui, et anni tui sicut humana sunt tempora,
6That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
6ut quæras iniquitatem meam, et peccatum meum scruteris,
7Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
7et scias quia nihil impium fecerim, cum sit nemo qui de manu tua possit eruere?
8Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
8Manus tuæ fecerunt me, et plasmaverunt me totum in circuitu: et sic repente præcipitas me?
9Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
9Memento, quæso, quod sicut lutum feceris me, et in pulverem reduces me.
10Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
10Nonne sicut lac mulsisti me, et sicut caseum me coagulasti?
11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
11Pelle et carnibus vestisti me; ossibus et nervis compegisti me.
12Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
12Vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi, et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum.
13And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
13Licet hæc celes in corde tuo, tamen scio quia universorum memineris.
14If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
14Si peccavi, et ad horam pepercisti mihi, cur ab iniquitate mea mundum me esse non pateris?
15If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
15Et si impius fuero, væ mihi est; et si justus, non levabo caput, saturatus afflictione et miseria.
16For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
16Et propter superbiam quasi leænam capies me, reversusque mirabiliter me crucias.
17Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
17Instauras testes tuos contra me, et multiplicas iram tuam adversum me, et pœnæ militant in me.
18Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
18Quare de vulva eduxisti me? qui utinam consumptus essem, ne oculus me videret.
19I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
19Fuissem quasi non essem, de utero translatus ad tumulum.
20Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
20Numquid non paucitas dierum meorum finietur brevi? dimitte ergo me, ut plangam paululum dolorem meum,
21Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
21antequam vadam, et non revertar, ad terram tenebrosam, et opertam mortis caligine:
22A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
22terram miseriæ et tenebrarum, ubi umbra mortis et nullus ordo, sed sempiternus horror inhabitat.]
