Job 32
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Job, eo quod justus sibi videretur.
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2Et iratus indignatusque est Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ram: iratus est autem adversum Job, eo quod justum se esse diceret coram Deo.
2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
3Porro adversum amicos ejus indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Job.
3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4Igitur Eliu expectavit Job loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur.
4Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer.
5When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit: [Junior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores: idcirco, demisso capite, veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam.
6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
7Sperabam enim quod ætas prolixior loqueretur, et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam.
7I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus, et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam.
8But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9Non sunt longævi sapientes, nec senes intelligunt judicium.
9Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10Ideo dicam: Audite me: ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam.
10Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11Expectavi enim sermones vestros; audivi prudentiam vestram, donec disceptaremini sermonibus;
11Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam: sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Job, et respondere ex vobis sermonibus ejus.
12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13Ne forte dicatis: Invenimus sapientiam: Deus projecit eum, non homo.
13Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14Nihil locutus est mihi: et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi.
14Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra, abstuleruntque a se eloquia.
15They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti: steterunt, nec ultra responderunt:
16When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17respondebo et ego partem meam, et ostendam scientiam meam.
17I said , I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18Plenus sum enim sermonibus, et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei.
18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo, quod lagunculas novas disrumpit.
19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20Loquar, et respirabo paululum: aperiam labia mea, et respondebo.
20I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21Non accipiam personam viri, et Deum homini non æquabo.
21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam, et si post modicum tollat me factor meus.]
22For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
