Job 23
1 Then Job answered and said:
Bet Ījabs atbildēja un sacīja:
2 Even to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy because of my groaning.
Vēl šodien man jātiepjas manās vaimanās, tā roka uz manis ir smagāka, nekā manas nopūtas.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat!
Ak kaut es Viņu zinātu atrast un varētu aiztikt līdz Viņa krēslam.
4 I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Es Viņam liktu priekšā savu lietu un raudzītu pierādīt savu taisnību.
5 I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say unto me.
Es gribētu dzirdēt tos vārdus, ko Viņš man atbildētu, un vērā ņemt, ko Viņš man sacītu:
6 Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He would give heed unto me.
Vai Viņš pēc Sava lielā spēka ar mani tiesāsies? Nē, Viņš klausīsies uz mani.
7 There the upright might reason with Him; so should I be delivered for ever from my Judge.
Tad taisns ar Viņu tiesātos, un es mūžam taptu izglābts no sava soģa.
8 Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
Bet, ja es eju pret rītiem, tad Viņa tur nav, ja eju pret vakariem, tad Viņu nemanu.
9 On the left hand, when He doth work, but I cannot behold Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot see Him.
Ja Viņš ziemeļos dara Savu darbu, tad es Viņu neraugu, ja Viņš nogriežas uz dienasvidu, tad es Viņu neredzu.
10 For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Bet Viņš zina manu ceļu; ja Viņš mani pārbaudītu, tad es taptu atrasts kā zelts.
11 My foot hath held fast to His steps, His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
Mana kāja turējās Viņa pēdās, es Viņa ceļu esmu sargājis un neesmu atkāpies.
12 I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured up the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
No Viņa lūpu pavēles es neesmu atkāpies, Viņa mutes vārdus es vairāk esmu glabājis nekā savu padomu.
13 But He is at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth.
Bet kad Viņš uz ko pastāv, kas Viņu novērsīs? Ko Viņš grib, to Viņš dara.
14 For He will perform that which is appointed for me; and many such things are with Him.
Jo Viņš izdara, ko Viņš par mani nodomājis, un vēl daudz tādu padomu ir pie Viņa.
15 Therefore am I affrighted at His presence; when I consider, I am afraid of Him.
Tādēļ es iztrūcinājos priekš Viņa vaiga; kad es to apdomāju, tad es bīstos Viņa priekšā.
16 Yea, God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath affrighted me;
Tas stiprais Dievs manu sirdi darījis bailīgu, un tas Visuvarenais mani iztrūcinājis.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did He cover the thick darkness from my face.
Jo tādā tumsībā es vēl neesmu izdeldēts, lai gan tumsa manu vaigu apklājusi.
