The Latin Vulgate VUL
New American Standard Bible NAS
1 respondens autem Iob dixit
1
Then Job replied ,
2 nunc quoque in amaritudine est sermo meus et manus plagae meae adgravata est super gemitum meum
2
"Even today my complaint is rebellion; His hand is heavy despite my groaning.
3 quis mihi tribuat ut cognoscam et inveniam illum et veniam usque ad solium eius
3
"Oh that I knew where I might find Him, That I might come to His seat!
4 ponam coram eo iudicium et os meum replebo increpationibu
4
"I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments
5 ut sciam verba quae mihi respondeat et intellegam quid loquatur mihi
5
"I would learn the words which He would answer, And perceive what He would say to me.
6 nolo multa fortitudine contendat mecum nec magnitudinis suae mole me premat
6
"Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.
7 proponat aequitatem contra me et perveniat ad victoriam iudicium meum
7
"There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8 si ad orientem iero non apparet si ad occidentem non intellegam eum
8
"Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
9 si ad sinistram quid agat non adprehendam eum si me vertam ad dextram non videbo illum
9
When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.
10 ipse vero scit viam meam et probavit me quasi aurum quod per ignem transit
10
"But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 vestigia eius secutus est pes meus viam eius custodivi et non declinavi ex ea
11
"My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 a mandatis labiorum eius non recessi et in sinu meo abscondi verba oris eius
12
"I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
13 ipse enim solus est et nemo avertere potest cogitationem eius et anima eius quodcumque voluerit hoc facit
13
"But He is unique and who can turn Him? And what His soul desires, that He does.
14 cum expleverit in me voluntatem suam et alia multa similia praesto sunt e
14
"For He performs what is appointed for me, And many such decrees are with Him
15 et idcirco a facie eius turbatus sum et considerans eum timore sollicitor
15
"Therefore , I would be dismayed at His presence; When I consider, I am terrified of Him.
16 Deus mollivit cor meum et Omnipotens conturbavit me
16
"It is God who has made my heart faint, And the Almighty who has dismayed me,
17 non enim perii propter inminentes tenebras nec faciem meam operuit caligo
17
But I am not silenced by the darkness, Nor deep gloom which covers me.
