Wisdom 10

KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,1 Haec illum, qui primus formatus est, pater orbis terrarum,
cum solus esset creatus, custodivit
et eduxit illum a delicto suo
2 And gave him power to rule all things.2 et dedit illi virtutem continendi omnia.
3 But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.3 Ab hac ut recessit iniustus in ira sua,
in furoribus fraternae caedis deperiit;
4 For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.4 propter quem, cum demergeretur terra,
sanavit eam iterum sapientia
per contemptibile lignum iustum gubernans.
5 Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.5 Haec et in consensu nequitiae, cum se nationes confudissent,
scivit iustum et conservavit sine querela Deo
et super filii viscera fortem custodivit.
6 When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.6 Haec iustum a pereuntibus impiis liberavit fugientem,
descendente igne in Pentapolim;
7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.7 cuius adhuc in testimonium nequitiae
fumigabunda constat deserta terra,
et incertis temporibus fructus habentes arbores,
et incredibilis animae memoria stans figmentum salis.
8 For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.8 Sapientiam enim praetereuntes
non tantum in hoc lapsi sunt, ut ignorarent bona,
sed et insipientiae suae reliquerunt hominibus memoriam,
ut in his, quae peccaverunt, nec latere potuissent.
9 Rut wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.9 Sapientia autem hos, qui eam observant, a laboribus liberavit.
10 When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.10 Haec profugum irae fratris iustum
deduxit per vias rectas
et ostendit illi regnum Dei
et dedit illi scientiam sanctorum;
honestavit illum in laboribus
et complevit labores illius.
11 In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.11 In avaritia circumvenientium illum affuit illi
et honestum fecit illum.
12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.12 Custodivit illum ab inimicis
et ab insidiantibus tutavit illum;
et post certamen forte bravium dedit illi,
ut sciret quoniam omnium potentior est pietas.
13 When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,13 Haec venditum iustum non dereliquit,
sed a peccato liberavit eum;
14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.14 descenditque cum illo in foveam
et in vinculis non dereliquit illum,
donec afferret illi sceptrum regni
et potentiam adversus eos, qui eum deprimebant,
et mendaces ostendit, qui maculaverunt illum,
et dedit illi claritatem aeternam.
15 She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.15 Haec populum sanctum et semen sine querela
liberavit a nationibus, quae illum deprimebant.
16 She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;16 Intravit in animam servi Domini
et stetit contra reges horrendos in portentis et signis.
17 Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;17 Reddidit sanctis mercedem laborum suorum
et deduxit illos in via mirabili
et fuit illis in velamento diei
et in luce stellarum per noctem.
18 Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:18 Transtulit illos per mare Rubrum
et transvexit illos per aquam nimiam
19 But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.19 inimicos autem illorum demersit
et ab altitudine abyssi eduxit illos.
20 Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.20 Ideo iusti tulerunt spolia impiorum
et decantaverunt, Domine, nomen sanctum tuum
et victricem manum tuam laudaverunt unanimiter,
21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.21 quoniam sapientia aperuit os mutorum
et linguas infantium fecit disertas.
