Liber Job

Respondens autem Job Domino, dixit:

Then Job answered the Lord, and said:

Respondente autem Iobe ad Domino, dic:

Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.

I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.

Sci quia omni pote, et nullo te late cogitatione.

Quis est iste qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quæ ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.

Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.

Qui es isto qui cela consilio absque scientia? Ideo insipienter locuto es, et que ultra modo excede scientia meo.

Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.

Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.

Audi, et me loque: interroga te, et responde ad me.

Auditu auris audivi te: nunc autem oculus meus videt te.

With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee.

Auditu aures audi te: nunc autem oculo meo vide te.

Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago pœnitentiam in favilla et cinere.

Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.

Ergo ipso reprehende me, et age poenitentia in favilla et cinere.

Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba hæc ad Job, dixit ad Eliphaz Themanitem: Iratus est furor meus in te, et in duos amicos tuos, quoniam non estis locuti coram me rectum, sicut servus meus Job.

And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before me, as my servant Job hath.

Postquam autem locuto es Domino verbos hoc ad Iobe, dic ad Eliphaz Themane: irato es furore meo in te, et in duo amico tuo, quia non es loque coram me rectus, sicut servo meo Iobe.

Sumite ergo vobis septem tauros et septem arietes, et ite ad servum meum Job, et offerte holocaustum pro vobis: Job autem servus meus orabit pro vobis. Faciem ejus suscipiam, ut non vobis imputetur stultitia: neque enim locuti estis ad me recta, sicut servus meus Job.

Take unto you therefore seven oxen and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust, and my servant Job shall pray for you: his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you: for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath.

Sume ergo ad vos septeme tauro et septeme ariete, et i ad servo meo Iobe, et offer holocausto pro vos: iobe autem servo meo ora pro vos. Facie de illo suscipe, ut non ad vos stultitia imputa: neque nam loque es ad me rectus, sicut servo meo Iobe.

Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos: et suscepit Dominus faciem Job.

So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went, and did as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.

I ab ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldade Suhite, et Sophare Naamathites, et fac sicut locuto es Domino ad illos: et Domino suscipe facie Iobe.

Dominus quoque conversus est ad pœnitentiam Job, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis: et addidit Dominus omnia quæcumque fuerant Job, duplicia.

The Lord also was turned at the penance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Domino etiam converte es ad poenitentia Iobe, cum illo ora pro amicos suo: et adde Domino omni omni es de Iobe, duplici.

Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui, et universæ sorores suæ, et cuncti qui noverant eum prius, et comederunt cum eo panem in domo ejus: et moverunt super eum caput, et consolati sunt eum super omni malo quod intulerat Dominus super eum: et dederunt ei unusquisque ovem unam, et inaurem auream unam.

And all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and they ate bread with him in his house: and bemoaned him, and comforted him upon all the evil that God had brought upon him. And every man gave him one ewe, and one earring of gold.

Veni autem ad illo omni fratres suo, et universa sorores suo, et cuncta qui nosce illo ante, et comede cum eo pane in domo de illo: et move super illo capite, et consola es illo super omni malo Domino infer quod super illo: et da ad illo et unusquis ove uno, et inaure aurea uno.

Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Job magis quam principio ejus: et facta sunt ei quatuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille juga boum, et mille asinæ.

And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

Domino autem benedic ad novissimo Iobe magis quam principio de illo: et facto es ad illo quatuordecime mile de oves, et sexu mile de camelos, et mile iugos de boves, et mile asinas.

Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.

And he had seven sons, and three daughters.

Et es ad illo septeme filio, et tre filia.

Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundæ Cassiam, et nomen tertiæ Cornustibii.

And he called the name of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibii.

Et voca nomine de uno Die, et nomine de secundo Cassia, et nomine de tertio de Cornustibio.

Non sunt autem inventæ mulieres speciosæ sicut filiæ Job in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hæreditatem inter fratres earum.

And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

Non es autem inveni mulieres specioso sicut filias de Iobe in universa terra: et patre ad illos suo da haereditate inter fratres de illas.

Vixit autem Job post hæc centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem: et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.

And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children's children, unto the fourth generation, and he died an old man, and full of days.

Iobe autem vive post hoc cento quadraginta annos, et vide filios suo, et filios de filios suo usque ad quarto generatione: et morto es sene, et plena de dies.
