Giobbe 31

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