Versetti esaminati
| Douai-Rheims | Bibbia Vulgata Clementina |
|---|---|
| 1 He that feareth God, will do good: and he that possesseth justice, shall lay hold on her, | 1 Qui timet Deum faciet bona, et qui continens est justitiæ apprehendet illam : |
| 2 And she will meet him as an honourable mother, and will receive him as a wife married of a virgin. | 2 et obviabit illi quasi mater honorificata, et quasi mulier a virginitate suscipiet illum. |
| 3 With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed him, and give him the water of wholesome wisdom to drink: and she shall be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved: | 3 Cibabit illum pane vitæ et intellectus, et aqua sapientiæ salutaris potabit illum : et firmabitur in illo, et non flectetur : |
| 4 And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours. | 4 et continebit illum, et non confundetur : et exaltabit illum apud proximos suos, |
| 5 And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory. | 5 et in medio ecclesiæ aperiet os ejus, et adimplebit illum spiritu sapientiæ et intellectus, et stola gloriæ vestiet illum. |
| 6 She shall heap upon him a treasure of joy and gladness, and shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name. | 6 Jucunditatem et exsultationem thesaurizabit super illum, et nomine æterno hæreditabit illum. |
| 7 But foolish men shall not obtain her, and wise men shall meet her, foolish men shall not see her: for she is far from pride and deceit. | 7 Homines stulti non apprehendent illam, et homines sensati obviabunt illi. Homines stulti non videbunt eam : longe enim abest a superbia et dolo. |
| 8 Lying men shall not be mindful of her: but men that speak truth shall be found with her, and shall advance, even till they come to the sight of God. | 8 Viri mendaces non erunt illius memores : et viri veraces invenientur in illa, et successum habebunt usque ad inspectionem Dei. |
| 9 Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner: | 9 Non est speciosa laus in ore peccatoris, |
| 10 For wisdom came forth from God: for praise shall be with the wisdom of God, and shall abound in a faithful mouth, and the sovereign Lord will give praise unto it. | 10 quoniam a Deo profecta est sapientia. Sapientiæ enim Dei astabit laus, et in ore fideli abundabit, et Dominator dabit eam illi. |
| 11 Say not: It is through God, that she is not with me: for do not thou the things that he hateth. | 11 Non dixeris : Per Deum abest : quæ enim odit ne feceris. |
| 12 Say not: He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of wicked men. | 12 Non dicas : Ille me implanavit : non enim necessarii sunt ei homines impii. |
| 13 The Lord hateth all abomination of error, and they that fear him shall not love it. | 13 Omne execramentum erroris odit Dominus, et non erit amabile timentibus eum. |
| 14 God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel. | 14 Deus ab initio constituit hominem, et reliquit illum in manu consilii sui : |
| 15 He added his commandments and precepts. | 15 adjecit mandata et præcepta sua. |
| 16 If thou wilt keep the commandments and perform acceptable fidelity for ever, they shall preserve thee. | 16 Si volueris mandata servare, conservabunt te, et in perpetuum fidem placitam facere. |
| 17 He hath set water and fire before thee: stretch forth thy hand to which thou wilt. | 17 Apposuit tibi aquam et ignem, ad quod volueris porrige manum tuam. |
| 18 Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him: | 18 Ante hominem vita et mors, bonum et malum : quod placuerit ei dabitur illi : |
| 19 For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing. | 19 quoniam multa sapientia Dei, et fortis in potentia, videns omnes sine intermissione. |
| 20 The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear him, and he knoweth all the work of man. | 20 Oculi Domini ad timentes eum, et ipse agnoscit omnem operam hominis. |
| 21 He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, and he hath given no man license to sin: | 21 Nemini mandavit impie agere, et nemini dedit spatium peccandi : |
| 22 For he desireth not a multitude of faithless and unprofitable children. | 22 non enim concupiscit multitudinem filiorum infidelium et inutilium. |
