Berean Standard Bible
1Addidit quoque Job, assumens parabolam suam, et dixit:
1Job continued his discourse:
2[Vivit Deus, qui abstulit judicium meum, et Omnipotens, qui ad amaritudinem adduxit animam meam.
2“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
3Quia donec superest halitus in me, et spiritus Dei in naribus meis,
3as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4non loquentur labia mea iniquitatem, nec lingua mea meditabitur mendacium.
4my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
5Absit a me ut justos vos esse judicem: donec deficiam, non recedam ab innocentia mea.
5I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
6Justificationem meam, quam cœpi tenere, non deseram: neque enim reprehendit me cor meum in omni vita mea.
6I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
7Sit ut impius, inimicus meus, et adversarius meus quasi iniquus.
7May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
8Quæ est enim spes hypocritæ, si avare rapiat, et non liberet Deus animam ejus?
8For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9Numquid Deus audiet clamorem ejus, cum venerit super eum angustia?
9Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10aut poterit in Omnipotente delectari, et invocare Deum omni tempore?
10Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
11Docebo vos per manum Dei quæ Omnipotens habeat, nec abscondam.
11I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
12Ecce vos omnes nostis: et quid sine causa vana loquimini?
12Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
13Hæc est pars hominis impii apud Deum, et hæreditas violentorum, quam ob Omnipotente suscipient.
13This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14Si multiplicati fuerint filii ejus, in gladio erunt, et nepotes ejus non saturabuntur pane:
14Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
15qui reliqui fuerint ex eo sepelientur in interitu, et viduæ illius non plorabunt.
15His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
16Si comportaverit quasi terram argentum, et sicut lutum præparaverit vestimenta:
16Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
17præparabit quidem, sed justus vestietur illis, et argentum innocens dividet.
17what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
18Ædificavit sicut tinea domum suam, et sicut custos fecit umbraculum.
18The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
19Dives, cum dormierit, nihil secum auferet: aperiet oculos suos, et nihil inveniet.
19He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20Apprehendet eum quasi aqua inopia: nocte opprimet eum tempestas.
20Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
21Tollet eum ventus urens, et auferet, et velut turbo rapiet eum de loco suo.
21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
22Et mittet super eum, et non parcet: de manu ejus fugiens fugiet.
22It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
23Stringet super eum manus suas, et sibilabit super illum, intuens locum ejus.]
23It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
