Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1[Numquid nosti tempus partus ibicum in petris, vel parturientes cervas observasti?
1“Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the doe bear her fawn?
2Dinumerasti menses conceptus earum, et scisti tempus partus earum?
2Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth?
3Incurvantur ad fœtum, et pariunt, et rugitus emittunt.
3They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn.
4Separantur filii earum, et pergunt ad pastum: egrediuntur, et non revertuntur ad eas.
4Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return.
5Quis dimisit onagrum liberum, et vincula ejus quis solvit?
5Who set the wild donkey free? Who released the swift donkey from the harness?
6cui dedi in solitudine domum, et tabernacula ejus in terra salsuginis.
6I made the wilderness his home and the salt flats his dwelling.
7Contemnit multitudinem civitatis: clamorem exactoris non audit.
7He scorns the tumult of the city and never hears the shouts of a driver.
8Circumspicit montes pascuæ suæ, et virentia quæque perquirit.
8He roams the mountains for pasture, searching for any green thing.
9Numquid volet rhinoceros servire tibi, aut morabitur ad præsepe tuum?
9Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night?
10Numquid alligabis rhinocerota ad arandum loro tuo, aut confringet glebas vallium post te?
10Can you hold him to the furrow with a harness? Will he plow the valleys behind you?
11Numquid fiduciam habebis in magna fortitudine ejus, et derelinques ei labores tuos?
11Can you rely on his great strength? Will you leave your hard work to him?
12Numquid credes illi quod sementem reddat tibi, et aream tuam congreget?
12Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?
13Penna struthionis similis est pennis herodii et accipitris.
13The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but cannot match the pinions and feathers of the stork.
14Quando derelinquit ova sua in terra, tu forsitan in pulvere calefacies ea?
14For she leaves her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand.
15Obliviscitur quod pes conculcet ea, aut bestia agri conterat.
15She forgets that a foot may crush them, or a wild animal may trample them.
16Duratur ad filios suos, quasi non sint sui: frustra laboravit, nullo timore cogente.
16She treats her young harshly, as if not her own, with no concern that her labor was in vain.
17Privavit enim eam Deus sapientia, nec dedit illi intelligentiam.
17For God has deprived her of wisdom; He has not endowed her with understanding.
18Cum tempus fuerit, in altum alas erigit: deridet equum et ascensorem ejus.
18Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.
19Numquid præbebis equo fortitudinem, aut circumdabis collo ejus hinnitum?
19Do you give strength to the horse or adorn his neck with a mane?
20Numquid suscitabis eum quasi locustas? gloria narium ejus terror.
20Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?
21Terram ungula fodit; exultat audacter: in occursum pergit armatis.
21He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle.
22Contemnit pavorem, nec cedit gladio.
22He laughs at fear, frightened of nothing; he does not turn back from the sword.
23Super ipsum sonabit pharetra; vibrabit hasta et clypeus:
23A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and lance.
24fervens et fremens sorbet terram, nec reputat tubæ sonare clangorem.
24Trembling with excitement, he devours the distance; he cannot stand still when the ram’s horn sounds.
25Ubi audierit buccinam, dicit: Vah ! procul odoratur bellum: exhortationem ducum, et ululatum exercitus.
25At the blast of the horn, he snorts with fervor. He catches the scent of battle from afar— the shouts of captains and the cry of war.
26Numquid per sapientiam tuam plumescit accipiter, expandens alas suas ad austrum?
26Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread his wings toward the south?
27Numquid ad præceptum tuum elevabitur aquila, et in arduis ponet nidum suum?
27Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high?
28In petris manet, et in præruptis silicibus commoratur, atque inaccessis rupibus.
28He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag.
29Inde contemplatur escam, et de longe oculi ejus prospiciunt.
29From there he spies out food; his eyes see it from afar.
30Pulli ejus lambent sanguinem: et ubicumque cadaver fuerit, statim adest.]
30His young ones feast on blood; and where the slain are, there he is.”
