Job 31

KING JAMES BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?	1 Pepigi foedus cum oculis meis ut ne cogitarem quidem de virgine.
2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?	2 Quae enim pars mea apud Deum desuper, et quae hereditas apud Omnipotentem in excelsis?
3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?	3 Numquid non perditio est iniquo, et alienatio operantibus iniustitiam?
4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?	4 Nonne ipse considerat vias meas et cunctos gressus meos dinumerat?
5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;	5 Si ambulavi in vanitate, et festinavit in dolo pes meus,
6 Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.	6 appendat me in statera iusta et sciat Deus integritatem meam.
7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;	7 Si declinavit gressus meus de via, et si secutum est oculos meos cor meum, et si manibus meis adhaesit macula,
8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.	8 seram, et alius comedat, et progenies mea eradicetur.
9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;	9 Si deceptum est cor meum super muliere, et si ad ostium amici mei insidiatus sum,
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.	10 molat pro alio uxor mea, et super illam incurventur alii.
11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.	11 Hoc enim nefas est et iniquitas iudicialis;
12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.	12 ignis est usque ad perditionem devorans et omnia eradicans genimina.
13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;	13 Si contempsi subire iudicium cum servo meo et ancilla mea, cum disceptarent adversum me,
14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?	14 quid enim faciam, cum surrexerit ad iudicandum Deus; et, cum quaesierit, quid respondebo illi?
15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?	15 Numquid non in ventre fecit me, qui et illum operatus est, et formavit me in visceribus unus?
16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;	16 Si negavi, quod volebant, pauperibus et oculos viduae languescere feci;
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;	17 si comedi buccellam meam solus, et non comedit pupillus ex ea,
18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)	18 quia ab infantia mea educavi eum ut pater et de ventre matris meae direxi eam;
19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;	19 si despexi pereuntem, eo quod non habuerit indumentum, et absque operimento pauperem;
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;	20 si non benedixerunt mihi latera eius, et de velleribus ovium mearum calefactus est;
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:	21 si levavi super pupillum manum meam, cum viderem in porta adiutorium mihi,
22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.	22 umerus meus a iunctura sua cadat, et brachium meum cum ossibus lacertorum confringatur,
23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.	23 quia timor super me calamitas a Deo, et contra maiestatem eius nihil valerem!
24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;	24 Si putavi aurum securitatem meam et obryzo dixi: Fiducia mea!;
25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;	25 si laetatus sum super multis divitiis meis, et quia plurima repperit manus mea;
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;	26 si vidi solem, cum fulgeret, et lunam incedentem clare,
27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:	27 et decepit me in abscondito cor meum, et osculatus sum manum meam ore meo,
28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.	28 quae est iniquitas iudicialis, eo quod negassem Deum desuper;
29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:	29 si gavisus sum ad ruinam eius, qui me oderat, et exsultavi quod invenisset eum malum,
30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.	30 cum non dederim ad peccandum guttur meum, ut expeterem maledicens animam eius;
31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.	31 si non dixerunt viri tabernaculi mei: “Quis det, qui de carnibus eius nonsaturatus sit?”;
32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.	32 foris non mansit peregrinus, ostium meum viatori patuit;
33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:	33 si abscondi quasi homo peccatum meum et celavi in sinu meo iniquitatem meam;
34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?	34 si expavi ad multitudinem nimiam, et despectio propinquorum terruit me, et magis tacui nec egressus sum ostium.
35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.	35 Quis mihi tribuat auditorem? Ecce signum meum! Omnipotens respondeat mihi! Ecce liber, quem scripsit vir litis meae,
36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.	36 ut in umero meo portem illum et alligem illum quasi coronam mihi.
37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.	37 Numerum graduum meorum pronuntiabo illi et quasi principem adibo eum.
38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;	38 Si adversum me terra mea clamat, et cum ipsa sulci eius deflent;
39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:	39 si fructus eius comedi absque pecunia et animam agricolarum eius afflixi,
40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.	40 pro frumento oriatur mihi tribulus, et pro hordeo herba foetida! ”. Finita sunt verba Iob.
