| [1]And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: -- |
[1]And Iob proceeded and went foorth in his parable, saying |
| [2]God liveth! He turned aside my judgment, And the Mighty -- He made my soul bitter. |
[2]As God lyueth whiche hath taken away my iudgement, and the almightie that hath vexed my minde |
| [3]For all the while my breath [is] in me, And the spirit of God in my nostrils. |
[3]Whyle my breath is in me, and the winde that God hath geuen me is in my nostrels |
| [4]My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue doth not utter deceit. |
[4]My lippes shall talke of no vanitie, and my tongue shall speake no disceite |
| [5]Pollution to me -- if I justify you, Till I expire I turn not aside mine integrity from me. |
[5]God forbyd that I should graunt your cause to be right: As for me, vntill myne end come will I neuer go fro myne innocentie |
| [6]On my righteousness I have laid hold, And I do not let it go, My heart doth not reproach me while I live. |
[6]My righteous dealing kepe I fast, which I will not forsake: my heart shal not reproue me of my dayes |
| [7]As the wicked is my enemy, And my withstander as the perverse. |
[7]Therfore myne enemie shalbe founde as the vngodly, and he that taketh part against me, as the vnrighteous |
| [8]For what [is] the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul? |
[8]For what hope hath the hypocrite though he haue great good, if God take away his soule |
| [9]His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on him? |
[9]Will God heare his crye, when trouble commeth vpon him |
| [10]On the Mighty doth he delight himself? Call God at all times? |
[10]Hath he such pleasure and delite in the almightie, that he dare alway call vpon God |
| [11]I shew you by the hand of God, That which [is] with the Mighty I hide not. |
[11]I wil teache you in the name of God, and the thing of the almightie will I not kepe from you |
| [12]Lo, ye -- all of you -- have seen, And why [is] this -- ye are altogether vain? |
[12]Behold, all ye your selues haue seene it, why then do ye thus vanishe in vanitie |
| [13]This [is] the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive. |
[13]Saying: This is the portion that the wicked haue of God, and the heritage that tyrauntes shall receaue of the almightie |
| [14]If his sons multiply -- for them [is] a sword. And his offspring [are] not satisfied [with] bread. |
[14]If he get many children, they shall perishe with the sworde, and his posteritie shall haue scarcenesse of bread |
| [15]His remnant in death are buried, And his widows do not weep. |
[15]His remnaunt shalbe buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe |
| [16]If he heap up as dust silver, And as clay prepare clothing, |
[16]Though he heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay |
| [17]He prepareth -- and the righteous putteth [it] on, And the silver the innocent doth apportion. |
[17]He may well prepare it, but the godly shall put it on, and the innocent shall deale out the money |
| [18]He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a watchman hath made. |
[18]He buyldeth his house as the moth, & as a booth that the watchman maketh |
| [19]Rich he lieth down, and he is not gathered, His eyes he hath opened, and he is not. |
[19]When the riche man sleepeth, he shall not be gathered [to his fathers,] they opened their eyes, and he was gone |
| [20]Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him away hath a whirlwind. |
[20]Terrour taketh holde vpon hym as a water fludde, and the tempest stealeth him away in the night season |
| [21]Take him up doth an east wind, and he goeth, And it frighteneth him from his place, |
[21]A vehement east winde caryeth him hence, and he departeth: a storme hurleth him out of his place |
| [22]And it casteth at him, and doth not spare, From its hand he diligently fleeth. |
[22]God shal cast vpon him, and not spare, though he woulde fayne flee out of his hande |
| [23]It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from his place. |
[23]Then clap men their handes at hym, and hisse at him out of his place |
