Sapienza 10

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Haec illum, qui primus formatus est, pater orbis terrarum, cum solus esset creatus, custodivit et eduxit illum a delicto suo	1 She preseved him, that was first formed by God the father of the world, when he was created alone,
2 et dedit illi virtutem continendi omnia.	2 And she brought him out of his sin, and gave him power to govern all things.
3 Ab hac ut recessit iniustus in ira sua, in furoribus fraternae caedis deperiit;	3 But when the unjust went away from her in his anger, he perished by the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.
4 propter quem, cum demergeretur terra, sanavit eam iterum sapientia per contemptibile lignum iustum gubernans.	4 For whose cause, when water destroyed the earth, wisdom healed it again, directing the course of the just by contemptible wood.
5 Haec et in consensu nequitiae, cum se nationes confudissent, scivit iustum et conservavit sine querela Deo et super filii viscera fortem custodivit.	5 Moreover when the nations had conspired together to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame to God, and kept him strong against the compassion for his son.
6 Haec iustum a pereuntibus impiis liberavit fugientem, descendente igne in Pentapolim;	6 She delivered the just man who fled from the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis:
7 cuius adhuc in testimonium nequitiae fumigabunda constat deserta terra, et incertis temporibus fructus habentes arbores, et incredibilis animae memoria stans figmentum salis.	7 Whose land for a testimony of their wickedness is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul.
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.	8 For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things, but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid.
9 Sapientia autem hos, qui eam observant, a laboribus liberavit.	9 But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them that attend upon her.
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.	10 She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours.
11 In avaritia circumvenientium illum affuit illi et honestum fecit illum.	11 In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable.
12 Custodivit illum ab inimicis et ab insidiantibus tutavit illum; et post certamen forte bravium dedit illi, ut sciret quoniam omnium potentior est pietas.	12 She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all.
13 Haec venditum iustum non dereliquit, sed a peccato liberavit eum;	13 She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit.
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.	14 And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.
15 Haec populum sanctum et semen sine querela liberavit a nationibus, quae illum deprimebant.	15 She delivered the just people, and blameless seed from the nations that oppressed them.
16 Intravit in animam servi Domini et stetit contra reges horrendos in portentis et signis.	16 She entered into the soul of the servant of God, and stood against dreadful kings in wonders and signs.
17 Reddidit sanctis mercedem laborum suorum et deduxit illos in via mirabili et fuit illis in velamento diei et in luce stellarum per noctem.	17 And she rendered to the just the wages of their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night:
18 Transtulit illos per mare Rubrum et transvexit illos per aquam nimiam	18 And she brought them through the Red Sea, and carried them over through a great water.
19 inimicos autem illorum demersit et ab altitudine abyssi eduxit illos.	19 But their enemies she drowned in the sea, and from the depth of hell she brought them out. Therefore the just took the spoils of the wicked.
20 Ideo iusti tulerunt spolia impiorum et decantaverunt, Domine, nomen sanctum tuum et victricem manum tuam laudaverunt unanimiter,	20 And they sung to thy holy name, O Lord, and they praised with one accord thy victorious hand.
21 quoniam sapientia aperuit os mutorum et linguas infantium fecit disertas.	21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of infants eloquent.
