Jó 27

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Addidit quoque Job, assumens parabolam suam, et dixit :	1 Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:
2 Vivit Deus, qui abstulit judicium meum, et Omnipotens, qui ad amaritudinem adduxit animam meam.	2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness,
3 Quia donec superest halitus in me, et spiritus Dei in naribus meis,	3 as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4 non loquentur labia mea iniquitatem, nec lingua mea meditabitur mendacium.	4 my lips will not speak iniquity, nor will my tongue devise lies.
5 Absit a me ut justos vos esse judicem : donec deficiam, non recedam ab innocentia mea.	5 Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence.
6 Justificationem meam, quam cœpi tenere, non deseram : neque enim reprehendit me cor meum in omni vita mea.	6 I will not forsake my justification, which I have just begun to grasp, for my heart does not find blame for me in my whole life.
7 Sit ut impius, inimicus meus, et adversarius meus quasi iniquus.	7 Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary.
8 Quæ est enim spes hypocritæ, si avare rapiat, et non liberet Deus animam ejus ?	8 For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?
9 Numquid Deus audiet clamorem ejus, cum venerit super eum angustia ?	9 Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him?
10 aut poterit in Omnipotente delectari, et invocare Deum omni tempore ?	10 Or will he take delight in the Almighty and call upon God at all times?
11 Docebo vos per manum Dei quæ Omnipotens habeat, nec abscondam.	11 I will teach you through the hand of God, what the Almighty holds, and I will not conceal it.
12 Ecce vos omnes nostis : et quid sine causa vana loquimini ?	12 Behold, you know all this, and so why do you speak vain things without a reason?
13 Hæc est pars hominis impii apud Deum, et hæreditas violentorum, quam ob Omnipotente suscipient.	13 This is the portion of the impious man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they will receive from the Almighty.
14 Si multiplicati fuerint filii ejus, in gladio erunt, et nepotes ejus non saturabuntur pane :	14 If his sons should happen to increase, they will be for the sword, and his grandsons will not be satisfied with bread.
15 qui reliqui fuerint ex eo sepelientur in interitu, et viduæ illius non plorabunt.	15 Whatever will remain of him will be buried in the ruins, and his widows will not weep.
16 Si comportaverit quasi terram argentum, et sicut lutum præparaverit vestimenta :	16 If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,
17 præparabit quidem, sed justus vestietur illis, et argentum innocens dividet.	17 then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.
18 Ædificavit sicut tinea domum suam, et sicut custos fecit umbraculum.	18 He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.
19 Dives, cum dormierit, nihil secum auferet : aperiet oculos suos, et nihil inveniet.	19 When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.
20 Apprehendet eum quasi aqua inopia : nocte opprimet eum tempestas.	20 Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.
21 Tollet eum ventus urens, et auferet, et velut turbo rapiet eum de loco suo.	21 A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.
22 Et mittet super eum, et non parcet : de manu ejus fugiens fugiet.	22 And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile.
23 Stringet super eum manus suas, et sibilabit super illum, intuens locum ejus.	23 He will clasp his hands over himself, and he will hiss at himself, while considering his situation.
