Job 13
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this , mine ear hath heard and understood it.
1[Ecce omnia hæc vidit oculus meus, et audivit auris mea, et intellexi singula.
2What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
2Secundum scientiam vestram et ego novi: nec inferior vestri sum.
3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
3Sed tamen ad Omnipotentem loquar, et disputare cum Deo cupio:
4But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
4prius vos ostendens fabricatores mendacii, et cultores perversorum dogmatum.
5O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
5Atque utinam taceretis, ut putaremini esse sapientes.
6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
6Audite ergo correptionem meam, et judicium labiorum meorum attendite.
7Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
7Numquid Deus indiget vestro mendacio, ut pro illo loquamini dolos?
8Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
8numquid faciem ejus accipitis, et pro Deo judicare nitimini?
9Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
9aut placebit ei quem celare nihil potest? aut decipietur, ut homo, vestris fraudulentiis?
10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
10Ipse vos arguet, quoniam in abscondito faciem ejus accipitis.
11Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
11Statim ut se commoverit, turbabit vos, et terror ejus irruet super vos.
12Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
12Memoria vestra comparabitur cineri, et redigentur in lutum cervices vestræ.
13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will .
13Tacete paulisper, ut loquar quodcumque mihi mens suggesserit.
14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
14Quare lacero carnes meas dentibus meis, et animam meam porto in manibus meis?
15Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
15Etiam si occiderit me, in ipso sperabo: verumtamen vias meas in conspectu ejus arguam.
16He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
16Et ipse erit salvator meus: non enim veniet in conspectu ejus omnis hypocrita.
17Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
17Audite sermonem meum, et ænigmata percipite auribus vestris.
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
18Si fuero judicatus, scio quod justus inveniar.
19Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
19Quis est qui judicetur mecum? veniat: quare tacens consumor?
20Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
20Duo tantum ne facias mihi, et tunc a facie tua non abscondar:
21Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
21manum tuam longe fac a me, et formido tua non me terreat.
22Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
22Voca me, et ego respondebo tibi: aut certe loquar, et tu responde mihi.
23How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
23Quantas habeo iniquitates et peccata? scelera mea et delicta ostende mihi.
24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
24Cur faciem tuam abscondis, et arbitraris me inimicum tuum?
25Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
25Contra folium, quod vento rapitur, ostendis potentiam tuam, et stipulam siccam persequeris:
26For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
26scribis enim contra me amaritudines, et consumere me vis peccatis adolescentiæ meæ.
27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
27Posuisti in nervo pedem meum, et observasti omnes semitas meas, et vestigia pedum meorum considerasti:
28And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
28qui quasi putredo consumendus sum, et quasi vestimentum quod comeditur a tinea.]
