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