Jó 20

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites dixit:	1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered:
2 “ Idcirco cogitationes meae reducunt me, eo quod intellectus effulsit in me.	2 "Therefore my thoughts answer me, because of my haste within me.
3 Doctrinam, qua me arguis, audiam, at spiritus intellegentiae meae respondebit mihi.	3 I hear censure which insults me, and out of my understanding a spirit answers me.
4 Scisne hoc a principio, ex quo positus est homo super terram,	4 Do you not know this from of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5 quod exsultatio iniquorum brevis sit, et gaudium impiorum ad instar puncti?	5 that the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 si ascenderit usque ad caelum superbia eius, et caput eius nubes tetigerit,	6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
7 quasi sterquilinium in finem perdetur, et, qui eum viderant, dicent: “Ubi est?”.	7 he will perish for ever like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, 'Where is he?'
8 Velut somnium avolans non invenietur, transiet sicut visio nocturna.	8 He will fly away like a dream, and not be found; he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 Oculus, qui eum viderat, non videbit, neque ultra intuebitur eum locus suus.	9 The eye which saw him will see him no more, nor will his place any more behold him.
10 Filii eius satagent complacere pauperibus, et manus illius reddent ei possessionem suam.	10 His children will seek the favor of the poor, and his hands will give back his wealth.
11 Ossa eius, quae implebantur adulescentia, cum eo in pulvere dormient.	11 His bones are full of youthful vigor, but it will lie down with him in the dust.
12 Cum enim dulce fuerit in ore eius malum, abscondet illud sub lingua sua.	12 "Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hides it under his tongue,
13 Parcet illi et non derelinquet illud et celabit in gutture suo.	13 though he is loath to let it go, and holds it in his mouth,
14 Panis eius in visceribus illius vertetur in fel aspidum intrinsecus.	14 yet his food is turned in his stomach; it is the gall of asps within him.
15 Divitias, quas devoravit, evomet, et de ventre illius extrahet eas Deus.	15 He swallows down riches and vomits them up again; God casts them out of his belly.
16 Venenum aspidum sugebat, et occidet eum lingua viperae.	16 He will suck the poison of asps; the tongue of a viper will kill him.
17 Non videat rivulos olei, torrentes mellis et butyri.	17 He will not look upon the rivers, the streams flowing with honey and curds.
18 Restituet quaestum suum nec deglutiet, de opibus venditionum non laetabitur.	18 He will give back the fruit of his toil, and will not swallow it down; from the profit of his trading he will get no enjoyment.
19 Quoniam confringens deseruit pauperes, domum rapuit et non aedificavit eam.	19 For he has crushed and abandoned the poor, he has seized a house which he did not build.
20 Nec est satiatus venter eius; et cum desideriis suis evadere non potuit.	20 "Because his greed knew no rest, he will not save anything in which he delights.
21 Non fuerunt reliquiae de cibo eius, et propterea nihil permanebit de bonis eius.	21 There was nothing left after he had eaten; therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 Cum satiatus fuerit, arctabitur; et omnis dolor irruet super eum.	22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he will be in straits; all the force of misery will come upon him.
23 Impleat ventrem suum: emittet Deus in eum iram furoris sui et pluet super illum bellum suum.	23 To fill his belly to the full God will send his fierce anger into him, and rain it upon him as his food.
24 Fugiet arma ferrea et irruet in arcum aereum.	24 He will flee from an iron weapon; a bronze arrow will strike him through.
25 Sagitta transverberabit corpus eius, et fulgur iecur eius; vadent et venient super eum horribilia.	25 It is drawn forth and comes out of his body, the glittering point comes out of his gall; terrors come upon him.
26 Omnes tenebrae absconditae sunt in occultis eius, devorabit eum ignis, qui non succenditur; affligetur relictus in tabernaculo suo.	26 Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blown upon will devour him; what is left in his tent will be consumed.
27 Revelabunt caeli iniquitatem eius, et terra consurget adversus eum.	27 The heavens will reveal his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.
28 Auferetur germen domus illius, detrahetur in die furoris Dei.	28 The possessions of his house will be carried away, dragged off in the day of God's wrath.
29 Haec est pars hominis impii a Deo, et hereditas verborum eius a Domino ”.	29 This is the wicked man's portion from God, the heritage decreed for him by God."
