NOVA VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Taedet animam meam vitae meae;
dimittam adversum me eloquium meum,
loquar in amaritudine animae meae.
1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Dicam Deo: Noli me condemnare,
indica mihi cur me ita iudices.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3 Numquid bonum tibi videtur, si opprimas me
et calumnieris me, opus manuum tuarum,
et super consilium impiorum arrideas?
3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Numquid oculi carnei tibi sunt,
aut, sicut videt homo, et tu videbis?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5 Numquid sicut dies hominis dies tui,
et anni tui sicut humana sunt tempora,
5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
6 ut quaeras iniquitatem meam
et peccatum meum scruteris,
6 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7 cum scias quia nihil impium fecerim,
et sit nemo, qui de manu tua possit eruere?
7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8 Manus tuae fecerunt me
et plasmaverunt me totum in circuitu;
et sic repente praecipitas me?
8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9 Memento, quaeso, quod sicut lutum feceris me
et in pulverem reduces me.
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10 Nonne sicut lac mulsisti me
et sicut caseum me coagulasti?
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Pelle et carnibus vestisti me;
ossibus et nervis compegisti me.
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi,
et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum.
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13 Licet haec celes in corde tuo,
tamen scio haec in animo tuo versari.
13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
14 Si peccaverim, observas me
et ab iniquitate mea mundum me esse non pateris.
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 Et si impius fuero, vae mihi est;
et si iustus, non levabo caput,
saturatus afflictione et miseria.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
16 Si superbia extollar, quasi catulum leonis capies me
et iterum mirabilem te exhibebis in me.
16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17 Instauras testes tuos contra me
et multiplicas iram tuam adversum me,
et poenae militant in me.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18 Quare de vulva eduxisti me?
Qui utinam consumptus essem, ne oculus me videret!
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 Fuissem quasi non essem,
de utero translatus ad tumulum.
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Numquid non paucitas dierum meorum finietur brevi?
Dimitte ergo me, ut refrigerem paululum dolorem meum,
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 antequam vadam, et non revertar,
ad terram tenebrarum et umbrae mortis,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 terram caliginis et tenebrarum,
ubi umbra mortis et nullus ordo,
sed sempiternus horror inhabitat ”.
22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
