Job 36
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Addens quoque Eliu, hæc locutus est:
1Elihu also proceeded, and said,
2[Sustine me paululum, et indicabo tibi: adhuc enim habeo quod pro Deo loquar.
2Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.
3Repetam scientiam meam a principio, et operatorem meum probabo justum.
3I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4Vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei, et perfecta scientia probabitur tibi.
4For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
5Deus potentes non abjicit, cum et ipse sit potens:
5Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6sed non salvat impios, et judicium pauperibus tribuit.
6He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
7Non auferet a justo oculos suos: et reges in solio collocat in perpetuum, et illi eriguntur.
7He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
8Et si fuerint in catenis, et vinciantur funibus paupertatis,
8And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9indicabit eis opera eorum, et scelera eorum, quia violenti fuerunt.
9Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
10Revelabit quoque aurem eorum, ut corripiat: et loquetur, ut revertantur ab iniquitate.
10He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
11Si audierint et observaverint, complebunt dies suos in bono, et annos suos in gloria:
11If they obey and serve him , they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12si autem non audierint, transibunt per gladium, et consumentur in stultitia.
12But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13Simulatores et callidi provocant iram Dei, neque clamabunt cum vincti fuerint.
13But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
14Morietur in tempestate anima eorum, et vita eorum inter effeminatos.
14They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
15Eripiet de angustia sua pauperem, et revelabit in tribulatione aurem ejus.
15He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
16Igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime, et non habente fundamentum subter se: requies autem mensæ tuæ erit plena pinguedine.
16Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
17Causa tua quasi impii judicata est: causam judiciumque recipies.
17But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee .
18Non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas: nec multitudo donorum inclinet te.
18Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
19Depone magnitudinem tuam absque tribulatione, et omnes robustos fortitudine.
19Will he esteem thy riches? no , not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20Ne protrahas noctem, ut ascendant populi pro eis.
20Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21Cave ne declines ad iniquitatem: hanc enim cœpisti sequi post miseriam.
21Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22Ecce Deus excelsus in fortitudine sua, et nullus ei similis in legislatoribus.
22Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23Quis poterit scrutari vias ejus? aut quis potest ei dicere: Operatus es iniquitatem?
23Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24Memento quod ignores opus ejus, de quo cecinerunt viri.
24Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25Omnes homines vident eum: unusquisque intuetur procul.
25Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
26Ecce Deus magnus vincens scientiam nostram: numerus annorum ejus inæstimabilis.
26Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27Qui aufert stillas pluviæ, et effundit imbres ad instar gurgitum,
27For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
28qui de nubibus fluunt quæ prætexunt cuncta desuper.
28Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29Si voluerit extendere nubes quasi tentorium suum,
29Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
30et fulgurare lumine suo desuper, cardines quoque maris operiet.
30Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
31Per hæc enim judicat populos, et dat escas multis mortalibus.
31For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
32In manibus abscondit lucem, et præcepit ei ut rursus adveniat.
32With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
33Annuntiat de ea amico suo, quod possessio ejus sit, et ad eam possit ascendere.]
33The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
