Job 35
1 Therfor Helyu spak eft these thingis, Whethir thi thouyt semeth euene,
igitur Heliu haec rursum locutus est
2 `ether riytful, to thee, that thou schuldist seie, Y am riytfulere than God?
numquid aequa tibi videtur tua cogitatio ut diceres iustior Deo sum
3 For thou seidist, That, that is good, plesith not thee; ethir what profitith it to thee, if Y do synne?
dixisti enim non tibi placet quod rectum est vel quid tibi proderit si ego peccavero
4 Therfor Y schal answere to thi wordis, and to thi frendis with thee.
itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis et amicis tuis tecum
5 Se thou, and biholde heuene, and biholde thou the eir, that God is hiyere than thou.
suspice caelum et intuere et contemplare aethera quod altior te sit
6 If thou synnest `ayens hym, what schalt thou anoye hym? and if thi wickidnessis ben multiplied, what schalt thou do ayens hym?
si peccaveris quid ei nocebis et si multiplicatae fuerint iniquitates tuae quid facies contra eum
7 Certis if thou doist iustli, what schalt thou yyue to hym; ether what schal he take of thin hond?
porro si iuste egeris quid donabis ei aut quid de manu tua accipiet
8 Thi wickidnesse schal anoie a man, which is lijk thee; and thi riytfulnesse schal helpe the sone of a man.
homini qui similis tui est nocebit impietas tua et filium hominis adiuvabit iustitia tua
9 Thei schulen cry for the multitude of fals chalengeris, and thei schulen weile for the violence of the arm of tirauntis.
propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt et heiulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum
10 And Joob seide not, Where is God, that made me, and that yaf songis in the nyyt?
et non dixit ubi est Deus qui fecit me qui dedit carmina in nocte
11 Which God techith vs aboue the beestis of erthe, and he schal teche vs aboue the briddis of heuene.
qui docet nos super iumenta terrae et super volucres caeli erudit nos
12 There thei schulen crye, and God schal not here, for the pride of yuele men.
ibi clamabunt et non exaudiet propter superbiam malorum
13 For God schal not here with out cause, and Almyyti God schal biholde the causis of ech man.
non ergo frustra audiet Deus et Omnipotens singulorum causas intuebitur
14 Yhe, whanne thou seist, He biholdith not; be thou demed bifor hym, and abide thou hym.
etiam cum dixeris non considerat iudicare coram eo et expecta eum
15 For now he bryngith not in his strong veniaunce, nether vengith `greetli felonye.
nunc enim non infert furorem suum nec ulciscitur scelus valde
16 Therfor Joob openith his mouth in veyn, and multiplieth wordis with out kunnyng.
ergo Iob frustra aperit os suum et absque scientia verba multiplicat
