Vulgate (Clementine)
Bos eorum concepit, et non abortivit : vacca peperit, et non est privata fœtu suo.
Septuagint (Swete)
ἡ βοῦς αὐτῶν οὐκ ὠμοτόκησεν, διεσώθη δὲ αὐτῶν ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα καὶ οὐκ ἔσφαλεν.
Hebrew (WLC)
שׁוֹר֣וֹ עִ֭בַּר וְלֹ֣א יַגְעִ֑ל תְּפַלֵּ֥ט פָּ֝רָת֗וֹ וְלֹ֣א תְשַׁכֵּֽל

Haydock's commentary

Cattle. Literally, "ox," bos. Protestants, "their bull gendereth, and faileth not." (Haydock)

But Bochart explains it of the cows' bringing forth every year. (Calmet)

Ox is used in the same sense, both by sacred and profane authors. (Haydock)

A great part of the riches of these nations consisted in cattle, Psalm cxliii. 14., and Zacharias viii. 5.
