Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites, dixit: |
Forsothe Sophar Naamathites answeride, and seide, |
Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said: |
Zophar. Jb.20.1-29 |
| 2 |
Idcirco cogitationes meæ variæ succedunt sibi,
et mens in diversa rapitur.
|
Therfor my thouytis dyuerse comen oon aftir anothir;
and the mynde is rauyischid in to dyuerse thingis. |
Therefore various thoughts succeed one another in me,
and my mind is hurried away to different things. |
|
| 3 |
Doctrinam qua me arguis audiam,
et spiritus intelligentiæ meæ respondebit mihi.
|
Y schal here the techyng, bi which thou repreuest me;
and the spirit of myn vndurstondyng schal answere me. |
The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear,
and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me. |

Hoc scio a principio,
ex quo positus est homo super terram,
|
Y woot this fro the bigynnyng,
sithen man was set on erthe, |
This I know from the beginning,
since man was placed upon the earth, |
|
| 5 |
quod laus impiorum brevis sit,
et gaudium hypocritæ ad instar puncti.
|
that the preisyng of wickid men is schort,
and the ioie of an ypocrite is at the licnesse of a poynt. |
that the praise of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment. |
|
| 6 |
Si ascenderit usque ad cælum superbia ejus,
et caput ejus nubes tetigerit,
|
Thouy his pride stieth in to heuene,
and his heed touchith the cloudis, |
If his pride mount up even to heaven,
and his head touch the clouds: |
|
| 7 |
quasi sterquilinium in fine perdetur,
et qui eum viderant, dicent: Ubi est?
|
he schal be lost in the ende, as a dunghil;
and, thei that sien hym, schulen seie, Where is he? |
In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill,
and they that has seen him shall say: Where is he? |
|

Velut somnium avolans non invenietur:
transiet sicut visio nocturna.
|
As a dreem fleynge awei he schal not be foundun;
he schal passe as a nyytis siyt. |
As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found,
he shall pass as a vision of the night: |
|
| 9 |
Oculus qui eum viderat non videbit,
neque ultra intuebitur eum locus suus.
|
The iye that siy hym schal not se;
and his place schal no more biholde him. |
The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more,
neither shall his place any more behold him. |

Filii ejus atterentur egestate,
et manus illius reddent ei dolorem suum.

Ossa ejus implebuntur vitiis adolescentiæ ejus,
et cum eo in pulvere dormient.

Hise boonys schulen be fillid with the vices of his yong wexynge age;
and schulen slepe with hym in dust. |
His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth,
and they shall sleep with him in the dust. |
|
| 12 |
Cum enim dulce fuerit in ore ejus malum,
abscondet illud sub lingua sua.
|
For whanne yuel was swete in his mouth,
he hidde it vndur his tunge. |
For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth,
he will hide it under his tongue. |
|
| 13 |
Parcet illi, et non derelinquet illud,
et celabit in gutture suo.
|
He schal spare it, and schal not forsake it;
and schal hide in his throte. |
He will spare it, and not leave it,
and will hide it in his throat. |

torrentes mellis et butyri.)

domum rapuit, et non ædificavit eam.
