Job 14
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
1[Homo natus de muliere, brevi vivens tempore, repletur multis miseriis.
2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
2Qui quasi flos egreditur et conteritur, et fugit velut umbra, et numquam in eodem statu permanet.
3And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
3Et dignum ducis super hujuscemodi aperire oculos tuos, et adducere eum tecum in judicium?
4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
4Quis potest facere mundum de immundo conceptum semine? nonne tu qui solus es?
5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
5Breves dies hominis sunt: numerus mensium ejus apud te est: constituisti terminos ejus, qui præteriri non poterunt.
6Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
6Recede paululum ab eo, ut quiescat, donec optata veniat, sicut mercenarii, dies ejus.
7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
7Lignum habet spem: si præcisum fuerit, rursum virescit, et rami ejus pullulant.
8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
8Si senuerit in terra radix ejus, et in pulvere emortuus fuerit truncus illius,
9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
9ad odorem aquæ germinabit, et faciet comam, quasi cum primum plantatum est.
10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
10Homo vero cum mortuus fuerit, et nudatus, atque consumptus, ubi, quæso, est?
11As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
11Quomodo si recedant aquæ de mari, et fluvius vacuefactus arescat:
12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
12sic homo, cum dormierit, non resurget: donec atteratur cælum, non evigilabit, nec consurget de somno suo.
13O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and 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?
14If a man die, shall he live again ? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
14Putasne mortuus homo rursum vivat? cunctis diebus quibus nunc milito, expecto donec veniat immutatio mea.
15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
15Vocabis me, et ego respondebo tibi: operi manuum tuarum porriges dexteram.
16For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
16Tu quidem gressus meos dinumerasti: sed parce peccatis meis.
17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
17Signasti quasi in sacculo delicta mea, sed curasti iniquitatem meam.
18And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
18Mons cadens defluit, et saxum transfertur de loco suo:
19The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
19lapides excavant aquæ, et alluvione paulatim terra consumitur: et hominem ergo similiter perdes.
20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
20Roborasti eum paululum, ut in perpetuum transiret: immutabis faciem ejus, et emittes eum.
21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
21Sive nobiles fuerint filii ejus, sive ignobiles, non intelliget.
22But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
22Attamen caro ejus, dum vivet, dolebit, et anima illius super semetipso lugebit.]
