The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Job answered:
1
respondens autem Iob dixit
2 "Well, you've certainly been a great help to a helpless man! You came to the rescue just in the nick of time!
2
cuius adiutor es numquid inbecilli et sustentas brachium eius qui non est fortis
3 What wonderful advice you've given to a mixed-up man! What amazing insights you've provided!
3
cui dedisti consilium forsitan illi qui non habet sapientiam et prudentiam tuam ostendisti plurimam
4 Where in the world did you learn all this? How did you become so inspired?
4
quem docere voluisti nonne eum qui fecit spiramen tuum
5 "All the buried dead are in torment, and all who've been drowned in the deep, deep sea.
5
ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis et qui habitant cum eis
6 Hell is ripped open before God, graveyards dug up and exposed.
6
nudus est inferus coram illo et nullum est operimentum perditioni
7 He spreads the skies over unformed space, hangs the earth out in empty space.
7
qui extendit aquilonem super vacuum et adpendit terram super nihili
8 He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags and the bags don't burst.
8
qui ligat aquas in nubibus suis ut non erumpant pariter deorsum
9 He makes the moon wax and wane, putting it through its phases.
9
qui tenet vultum solii sui et expandit super illud nebulam suam
10 He draws the horizon out over the ocean, sets a boundary between light and darkness.
10
terminum circumdedit aquis usque dum finiantur lux et tenebrae
11 Thunder crashes and rumbles in the skies. Listen! It's God raising his voice!
11
columnae caeli contremescunt et pavent ad nutum eius
12 By his power he stills sea storms, by his wisdom he tames sea monsters.
12
in fortitudine illius repente maria congregata sunt et prudentia eius percussit superbum
13 With one breath he clears the sky, with one finger he crushes the sea serpent.
13
spiritus eius ornavit caelos et obsetricante manu eius eductus est coluber tortuosus
14 And this is only the beginning, a mere whisper of his rule. Whatever would we do if he really raised his voice!"
14
ecce haec ex parte dicta sunt viarum eius et cum vix parvam stillam sermonis eius audierimus quis poterit tonitruum magnitudinis illius intueri
