KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,1 Igitur Eliu haec rursum locutus est:
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?2 “ Numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio,
ut diceres: “Iustificatio mea coram Deo”?
3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?3 Dixisti enim: “Quid ad te?
Vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero?”.
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.4 Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis
et amicis tuis tecum.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.5 Suspice caelum et intuere
et contemplare nubes quod altiores te sint.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?6 Si peccaveris, quid facies ei?
Et si multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae, quid facies contra eum?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?7 Porro si iuste egeris, quid donabis ei?
Aut quid de manu tua accipiet?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.8 Homini, qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua,
et filium hominis adiuvabit iustitia tua.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.9 Propter multitudinem oppressorum clamabunt
et eiulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum,
10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;10 sed nemo dixit: “Ubi est Deus, qui fecit me,
qui dedit carmina in nocte,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?11 qui docet nos super iumenta terrae
et super volucres caeli erudit nos?”.
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.12 Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet,
propter superbiam malorum.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.13 Etiam, frustra: non audiet Deus,
et Omnipotens non intuebitur.
14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.14 Omnino cum dixeris: “Non considerat”,
iudicium est coram illo, et exspectas eum.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:15 Et nunc cum dicis: “Ira eius poenas non infert,
nec ulciscitur scelus valde”,
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.16 Iob frustra aperit os suum
et absque scientia verba multiplicat ”.
