Job 10
1 My soule is cut off though I liue: I wil leaue my complaint vpon my selfe, and wil speake in the bitternesse of my soule.
taedet animam meam vitae meae dimittam adversum me eloquium meum loquar in amaritudine animae meae
2 I will say vnto God, Condemne mee not: shew me, wherefore thou contendest with mee.
dicam Deo noli me condemnare indica mihi cur me ita iudices
3 Thinkest thou it good to oppresse me, and to cast off the labour of thine handes, and to fauour the counsel of the wicked?
numquid bonum tibi videtur si calumnieris et opprimas me opus manuum tuarum et consilium impiorum adiuves
4 Hast thou carnall eyes? or doest thou see as man seeth?
numquid oculi carnei tibi sunt aut sicut videt homo et tu videbis
5 Are thy dayes as mans dayes? or thy yeres, as the time of man,
numquid sicut dies hominis dies tui et anni tui sicut humana sunt tempora
6 That thou inquirest of mine iniquitie, and searchest out my sinne?
ut quaeras iniquitatem meam et peccatum meum scruteris
7 Thou knowest that I can not do wickedly: for none can deliuer me out of thine hand.
et scias quia nihil impium fecerim cum sit nemo qui de manu tua possit eruere
8 Thine handes haue made me, and fashioned mee wholy rounde about, and wilt thou destroy me?
manus tuae plasmaverunt me et fecerunt me totum in circuitu et sic repente praecipitas me
9 Remember, I pray thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt thou bring me into dust againe?
memento quaeso quod sicut lutum feceris me et in pulverem reduces me
10 Hast thou not powred me out as milke? and turned me to cruds like cheese?
nonne sicut lac mulsisti me et sicut caseum me coagulasti
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and ioyned me together with bones and sinewes.
pelle et carnibus vestisti me et ossibus et nervis conpegisti me
12 Thou hast giuen me life, and grace: and thy visitation hath preserued my spirit.
vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum
13 Though thou hast hid these things in thine heart, yet I knowe that it is so with thee.
licet haec celes in corde tuo tamen scio quia universorum memineris
14 If I haue sinned, then thou wilt streightly looke vnto me, and wilt not holde mee giltlesse of mine iniquitie.
si peccavi et ad horam pepercisti mihi cur ab iniquitate mea mundum me esse non pateris
15 If I haue done wickedly, wo vnto me: if I haue done righteously, I will not lift vp mine head, being full of confusion, because I see mine affliction.
et si impius fuero vae mihi est et si iustus non levabo caput saturatus adflictione et miseria
16 But let it increase: hunt thou me as a lyon: returne and shew thy selfe marueilous vpon me.
et propter superbiam quasi leaenam capies me reversusque mirabiliter me crucias
17 Thou renuest thy plagues against me, and thou increasest thy wrath against me: changes and armies of sorowes are against me.
instauras testes tuos contra me et multiplicas iram tuam adversum me et poenae militant in me
18 Wherfore then hast thou brought me out of the wombe? Oh that I had perished, and that none eye had seene me!
quare de vulva eduxisti me qui utinam consumptus essem ne oculus me videret
19 And that I were as I had not bene, but brought from the wombe to the graue!
fuissem quasi qui non essem de utero translatus ad tumulum
20 Are not my dayes fewe? let him cease, and leaue off from me, that I may take a litle comfort,
numquid non paucitas dierum meorum finietur brevi dimitte ergo me ut plangam paululum dolorem meum
21 Before I goe and shall not returne, euen to the land of darkenesse and shadow of death:
antequam vadam et non revertar ad terram tenebrosam et opertam mortis caligine
22 Into a land, I say, darke as darknes it selfe, and into the shadow of death, where is none order, but the light is there as darkenesse.
terram miseriae et tenebrarum ubi umbra mortis et nullus ordo et sempiternus horror inhabitans
