Wisdom 10

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,	1 Hæc illum qui primus formatus est a Deo patre orbis terrarum, cum solus esset creatus, custodivit,
2 And gave him power to rule all things.	2 et eduxit illum a delicto suo, et dedit illi virtutem continendi omnia.
3 But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.	3 Ab hac ut recessit injustus in ira sua, per iram homicidii fraterni deperiit.
4 For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.	4 Propter quem cum aqua deleret terram, sanavit iterum sapientia, per contemptibile lignum justum gubernans.
5 Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.	5 Hæc et in consensu nequitiæ, cum se nationes contulissent, scivit justum, et conservavit sine querela Deo, et in filii misericordia fortem custodivit.
6 When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.	6 Hæc justum a pereuntibus impiis liberavit fugientem, descendente igne in Pentapolim :
7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.	7 quibus in testimonium nequitiæ fumigabunda constat deserta terra, et incerto tempore fructus habentes arbores : et incredibilis animæ memoria stans figmentum salis.
8 For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.	8 Sapientiam enim prætereuntes, non tantum in hoc lapsi sunt ut ignorarent bona, sed et insipientiæ suæ reliquerunt hominibus memoriam, ut in his quæ peccaverunt nec latere potuissent.
9 Rut wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.	9 Sapientia autem hos qui se observant a doloribus liberavit.
10 When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.	10 Hæc profugum iræ fratris justum deduxit per vias rectas, et ostendit illi regnum Dei, et dedit illi scientiam sanctorum ; honestavit illum in laboribus, et complevit labores illius.
11 In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.	11 In fraude circumvenientium illum affuit illi, et honestum fecit illum.
12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.	12 Custodivit illum ab inimicis, et a seductoribus tutavit illum : et certamen forte dedit illi ut vinceret, et sciret quoniam omnium potentior est sapientia.
13 When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,	13 Hæc venditum justum non dereliquit, sed a peccatoribus liberavit eum ; descenditque cum illo in foveam,
14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.	14 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 æternam.
15 She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.	15 Hæc populum justum et semen sine querela liberavit a nationibus quæ illum deprimebant.
16 She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;	16 Intravit in animam servi Dei, et stetit contra reges horrendos in portentis et signis.
17 Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;	17 Et reddidit justis mercedem laborum suorum, et deduxit illos in via mirabili : et fuit illis in velamento diei, et in luce stellarum per noctem ;
18 Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:	18 transtulit illos per mare Rubrum, et transvexit illos per aquam nimiam.
19 But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.	19 Inimicos autem illorum demersit in mare, et ab altitudine inferorum eduxit illos. Ideo justi tulerunt spolia impiorum,
20 Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.	20 et decantaverunt, Domine, nomen sanctum tuum, et victricem manum tuam laudaverunt pariter :
21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.	21 quoniam sapientia aperuit os mutorum, et linguas infantium fecit disertas.
