Job 39
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1[Numquid nosti tempus partus ibicum in petris, vel parturientes cervas observasti?
1Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
2Dinumerasti menses conceptus earum, et scisti tempus partus earum?
2Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3Incurvantur ad fœtum, et pariunt, et rugitus emittunt.
3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
4Separantur filii earum, et pergunt ad pastum: egrediuntur, et non revertuntur ad eas.
4Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
5Quis dimisit onagrum liberum, et vincula ejus quis solvit?
5Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
6cui dedi in solitudine domum, et tabernacula ejus in terra salsuginis.
6Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
7Contemnit multitudinem civitatis: clamorem exactoris non audit.
7He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
8Circumspicit montes pascuæ suæ, et virentia quæque perquirit.
8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9Numquid volet rhinoceros servire tibi, aut morabitur ad præsepe tuum?
9Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
10Numquid alligabis rhinocerota ad arandum loro tuo, aut confringet glebas vallium post te?
10Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11Numquid fiduciam habebis in magna fortitudine ejus, et derelinques ei labores tuos?
11Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12Numquid credes illi quod sementem reddat tibi, et aream tuam congreget?
12Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
13Penna struthionis similis est pennis herodii et accipitris.
13Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
14Quando derelinquit ova sua in terra, tu forsitan in pulvere calefacies ea?
14Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15Obliviscitur quod pes conculcet ea, aut bestia agri conterat.
15And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16Duratur ad filios suos, quasi non sint sui: frustra laboravit, nullo timore cogente.
16She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
17Privavit enim eam Deus sapientia, nec dedit illi intelligentiam.
17Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18Cum tempus fuerit, in altum alas erigit: deridet equum et ascensorem ejus.
18What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19Numquid præbebis equo fortitudinem, aut circumdabis collo ejus hinnitum?
19Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
20Numquid suscitabis eum quasi locustas? gloria narium ejus terror.
20Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
21Terram ungula fodit; exultat audacter: in occursum pergit armatis.
21He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
22Contemnit pavorem, nec cedit gladio.
22He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
23Super ipsum sonabit pharetra; vibrabit hasta et clypeus:
23The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
24fervens et fremens sorbet terram, nec reputat tubæ sonare clangorem.
24He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
25Ubi audierit buccinam, dicit: Vah ! procul odoratur bellum: exhortationem ducum, et ululatum exercitus.
25He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26Numquid per sapientiam tuam plumescit accipiter, expandens alas suas ad austrum?
26Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
27Numquid ad præceptum tuum elevabitur aquila, et in arduis ponet nidum suum?
27Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
28In petris manet, et in præruptis silicibus commoratur, atque inaccessis rupibus.
28She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
29Inde contemplatur escam, et de longe oculi ejus prospiciunt.
29From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
30Pulli ejus lambent sanguinem: et ubicumque cadaver fuerit, statim adest.]
30Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are , there is she.
