Translation of the Latin Vulgate |
| 34:1 pronuntians itaque Heliu etiam haec locutus est | 1 And Eliu continued his discourse, and said : |
| 34:2 audite sapientes verba mea et eruditi auscultate me | 2 Hear ye, wise men, my words, and ye learned, hearken to me : |
| 34:3 auris enim verba probat et guttur escas gustu diiudicat | 3 For the ear trieth words, and the mouth discerneth meats by the taste. |
| 34:4 iudicium eligamus nobis et inter nos videamus quid sit melius | 4 Let us choose to us judgment, and let us see among ourselves what is the best. |
| 34:5 quia dixit Iob iustus sum et Deus subvertit iudicium meum | 5 For Job hath said : I am just, and God hath overthrown my judgment. |
| 34:6 in iudicando enim me mendacium est violenta sagitta mea absque ullo peccato | 6 For in judging me there is a lie : my arrow is violent without any sin. |
| 34:7 quis est vir ut est Iob qui bibit subsannationem quasi aquam | 7 What man is there like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? |
| 34:8 qui graditur cum operantibus iniquitatem et ambulat cum viris impiis | 8 Who goeth in company with them that work iniquity, and walketh with wicked men? |
| 34:9 dixit enim non placebit vir Deo etiam si cucurrerit cum eo | 9 For he hath said : Man shall not please God, although he run with him. |
| 34:10 ideo viri cordati audite me absit a Deo impietas et ab Omnipotente iniquitas | 10 Therefore, ye men of understanding, hear me : far from god be wickedness, and iniquity from the Almighty. |
| 34:11 opus enim hominis reddet ei et iuxta vias singulorum restituet | 11 For he will render to a man his work, and according to the ways of every one he will reward them. |
| 34:12 vere enim Deus non condemnabit frustra nec Omnipotens subvertet iudicium | 12 For in very deed God will not condemn without cause, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. |
| 34:13 quem constituit alium super terram aut quem posuit super orbem quem fabricatus est | 13 What other hath he appointed over the earth? or whom hath he set over the world which he made? |
| 34:14 si direxerit ad eum cor suum spiritum illius et flatum ad se trahet | 14 If he turn his heart to him, he shall draw his spirit and breath unto himself. |
| 34:15 deficiet omnis caro simul et homo in cinerem revertetur | 15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return into ashes. |
| 34:16 si habes ergo intellectum audi quod dicitur et ausculta vocem eloquii mei | 16 If then thou hast understanding, hear what is said, and hearken to the voice of my words. |
| 34:17 numquid qui non amat iudicium sanare potest et quomodo tu eum qui iustus est in tantum condemnas | 17 Can he be healed that loveth not judgment? and how dost thou so far condemn him that is just? |
| 34:18 qui dicit regi apostata qui vocat duces impios | 18 Who saith to the king : Thou art an apostate : who calleth rulers ungodly? |
| 34:19 qui non accipit personas principum nec cognovit tyrannum cum disceptaret contra pauperem opus enim manuum eius sunt universi | 19 Who accepteth not the persons of princes : nor hath regarded the tyrant, when he contended against the poor man : for all are the work of his hands. |
| 34:20 subito morientur et in media nocte turbabuntur populi et pertransibunt et auferent violentum absque manu | 20 They shall suddenly die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and they shall pass, and take away the violent without hand. |
| 34:21 oculi enim eius super vias hominum et omnes gressus eorum considerat | 21 For his eyes are upon the ways of men, and he considereth all their steps. |
| 34:22 non sunt tenebrae et non est umbra mortis ut abscondantur ibi qui operantur iniquitatem | 22 There is no darkness, and there is no shadow of death, where they may be hid who work iniquity. |
| 34:23 neque enim ultra in hominis potestate est ut veniat ad Deum in iudicium | 23 For it is no longer in the power of man to enter into judgment with God. |
| 34:24 conteret multos innumerabiles et stare faciet alios pro eis | 24 He shall break in pieces many and innumerable, and shall make others to stand in their stead. |
| 34:25 novit enim opera eorum et idcirco inducet noctem et conterentur | 25 For he knoweth their works : and therefore he shall bring night on them, and they shall be destroyed. |
| 34:26 quasi impios percussit eos in loco videntium | 26 He hath struck them, as being wicked, in open sight. |
| 34:27 qui quasi de industria recesserunt ab eo et omnes vias eius intellegere noluerunt | 27 Who as it were on purpose have revolted from him, and would not understand all his ways : |
| 34:28 ut pervenire facerent ad eum clamorem egeni et audiret vocem pauperum | 28 So that they caused the cry of the needy to come to him, and he heard the voice of the poor. |
| 34:29 ipso enim concedente pacem quis est qui condemnet ex quo absconderit vultum quis est qui contempletur eum et super gentem et super omnes homines | 29 For when he granteth peace, who is there that can condemn? When he hideth his countenance, who is there that can behold him, whether it regard nations, or all men? |
| 34:30 qui regnare facit hominem hypocritam propter peccata populi | 30 Who maketh a man that is a hypocrite to reign for the sins of the people? |
| 34:31 quia ergo ego locutus sum ad Deum te quoque non prohibeo | 31 Seeing then I have spoken of God, I will not hinder thee in thy turn. |
| 34:32 si erravi tu doce me si iniquitatem locutus sum ultra non addam | 32 If I have erred, teach thou me : if I have spoken iniquity, I will add no more. |
| 34:33 numquid a te Deus expetit eam quia displicuit tibi tu enim coepisti loqui et non ego quod si quid nosti melius loquere | 33 Doth God require it of thee, because it hath displeased thee? for thou begannest to speak, and not I. : but if thou know any thing better, speak. |
| 34:34 viri intellegentes loquantur mihi et vir sapiens audiat me | 34 Let men of understanding speak to me, and let a wise man hearken to me. |
| 34:35 Iob autem stulte locutus est et verba illius non sonant disciplinam | 35 But Job hath spoken foolishly, and his words sound not discipline. |
| 34:36 pater mi probetur Iob usque ad finem ne desinas in hominibus iniquitatis | 36 My father, let Job be tried even to the end : cease not from the man of iniquity. |
| 34:37 quia addit super peccata sua blasphemiam inter nos interim constringatur et tunc ad iudicium provocet sermonibus suis Deum | 37 Because he addeth blasphemy upon his sins, let him be tied fast in the mean time amongst us : and then let him provoke God to judgment with his speeches. |
