Job 5
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
1[Voca ergo, si est qui tibi respondeat, et ad aliquem sanctorum convertere.
2For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
2Vere stultum interficit iracundia, et parvulum occidit invidia.
3I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
3Ego vidi stultum firma radice, et maledixi pulchritudini ejus statim.
4His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them .
4Longe fient filii ejus a salute, et conterentur in porta, et non erit qui eruat.
5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
5Cujus messem famelicus comedet, et ipsum rapiet armatus, et bibent sitientes divitias ejus.
6Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
6Nihil in terra sine causa fit, et de humo non oritur dolor.
7Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
7Homo nascitur ad laborem, et avis ad volatum.
8I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
8Quam ob rem ego deprecabor Dominum, et ad Deum ponam eloquium meum:
9Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
9qui facit magna et inscrutabilia, et mirabilia absque numero;
10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
10qui dat pluviam super faciem terræ, et irrigat aquis universa;
11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
11qui ponit humiles in sublime, et mœrentes erigit sospitate;
12He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
12qui dissipat cogitationes malignorum, ne possint implere manus eorum quod cœperant;
13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
13qui apprehendit sapientes in astutia eorum, et consilium pravorum dissipat.
14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
14Per diem incurrent tenebras, et quasi in nocte, sic palpabunt in meridie.
15But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
15Porro salvum faciet egenum a gladio oris eorum, et de manu violenti pauperem.
16So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
16Et erit egeno spes; iniquitas autem contrahet os suum.
17Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
17Beatus homo qui corripitur a Deo: increpationem ergo Domini ne reprobes:
18For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
18quia ipse vulnerat, et medetur; percutit, et manus ejus sanabunt.
19He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
19In sex tribulationibus liberabit te, et in septima non tangent te malum.
20In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
20In fame eruet te de morte, et in bello de manu gladii.
21Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
21A flagello linguæ absconderis, et non timebis calamitatem cum venerit.
22At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
22In vastitate et fame ridebis, et bestias terræ non formidabis.
23For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
23Sed cum lapidibus regionum pactum tuum, et bestiæ terræ pacificæ erunt tibi.
24And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
24Et scies quod pacem habeat tabernaculum tuum; et visitans speciem tuam, non peccabis.
25Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
25Scies quoque quoniam multiplex erit semen tuum, et progenies tua quasi herba terræ.
26Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
26Ingredieris in abundantia sepulchrum, sicut infertur acervus tritici in tempore suo.
27Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
27Ecce hoc, ut investigavimus, ita est: quod auditum, mente pertracta.]
