Job 40

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 But the Lord, answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:	1 Et respondens Dominus locutus est ad Iob:
2 Gird your waist like a man. I will question you, and you must answer me.	2 “ Numquid contendit cum Omnipotente reprehensor? Qui arguit Deum, debet respondere ad ea ”.
3 Will you make my judgment null and void; and will you condemn me so that you may be justified?	3 Respondens autem Iob Domino dixit:
4 And do you have an arm like God, or a voice like thunder?	4 “ Ecce leviter locutus sum, quid respondebo tibi? Manum meam ponam super os meum.
5 Envelop yourself with splendor, and raise yourself up on high, and be glorious, and put on splendid garments.	5 Unum locutus sum, quod non repetam, et alterum, quibus ultra non addam ”.
6 Scatter the arrogant with your wrath, and, when you see all the arrogant, humble them.	6 Respondens autem Dominus Iob de turbine dixit:
7 Look down upon each of the arrogant and confound them, and crush the impious in their place.	7 “ Accinge sicut vir lumbos tuos; interrogabo te, et edoce me.
8 Hide them in the dust together and plunge their faces into the pit.	8 Numquid irritum facies iudicium meum et condemnabis me, ut tu iustificeris?
9 Then I will confess that your right hand is able to save you.	9 Et si habes brachium sicut Deus et si voce simili tonas?
10 Behold, the behemoth, whom I created along with you, eats hay like an ox.	10 Circumda tibi decorem et sublimitatem; gloria et decore induere.
11 His strength is in his lower back, and his power is in the center of his abdomen.	11 Effunde vehementiam furoris tui et respiciens omnem arrogantem humilia.
12 He draws up his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs have been drawn together.	12 Respice cunctos superbos et confunde eos et contere impios in loco suo.
13 His bones are like pipes of brass; his cartilage is like plates of iron.	13 Absconde eos in pulvere simul et facies eorum claude in fovea;
14 He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him; he will use him as his sword.	14 et ego confitebor quod salvare te possit dextera tua.
15 The mountains bring forth grass for him; all the beasts of the field will play there.	15 Ecce Behemoth, quem feci tecum; fenum quasi bos comedit.
16 He sleeps in the shadows, under the cover of branches, and in moist places.	16 Fortitudo eius in lumbis eius, et virtus illius in umbilico ventris eius.
17 The shadows cover his shadow; the willows of the brook will encircle him.	17 Stringit caudam suam quasi cedrum, nervi femorum eius perplexi sunt.
18 Behold, he will drink a river and not be amazed, and he has confidence that the Jordan could flow into his mouth.	18 Ossa eius velut fistulae aeris, cartilago illius quasi laminae ferreae.
19 He will seize him through his eyes, as if with a hook, and he will bore through his nostrils, as if with stakes.	19 Ipse est principium viarum Dei; qui fecit eum, applicabit gladium eius.
20 Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, and can you bind his tongue with a cord?	20 Huic montes tributum ferunt, omnes bestiae agri ludunt ibi.
21 Can you place a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with an arm band?	21 Sub lotis silvestribus dormit, in secreto calami et in locis umentibus;
22 Will he offer many prayers to you, or speak to you quietly?	22 loti silvestres umbra eum protegunt, circumdant eum salices torrentis.
23 Will he form a covenant with you, and will you accept him as a servant forever?	23 Si fluvius intumescat, non tremit; securus est, si prorumpat fluctus ad os eius.
24 Will you play with him as with a bird, or tether him for your handmaids?	24 In oculis eius quis capiet eum et in sudibus perforabit nares eius?
25 Will your friends cut him into pieces, will dealers distribute him?	25 An extrahere poteris Leviathan hamo et fune ligabis linguam eius?
26 Will you fill up bags with his hide, and let his head be used as a home for fishes?	26 Numquid pones iuncum in naribus eius aut spina perforabis maxillam eius?
27 Place your hand upon him; remember the battle and speak no more.	27 Numquid multiplicabit ad te preces aut loquetur tibi mollia?
28 Behold, his hope will fail him, and in the sight of all, he will be thrown down.	28 Numquid feriet tecum pactum, et accipies eum servum sempiternum?
	29 Numquid illudes ei quasi avi aut ligabis eum pro puellis tuis?
	30 Speculabuntur super eum socii, divident illum negotiatores?
	31 Numquid implebis telis pellem eius et iaculo hamato piscium caput illius?
	32 Pone super eum manum tuam; memento belli nec ultra addas.
