< Job 34 >
1 Moreover Elihu answered and said:
And he answered Elihu and he said.
2 Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.
3 For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.
For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
4 Let us choose for us that which is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.
Justice let us choose for ourselves let us recognize between ourselves what? [is] good.
5 For Job hath said: 'I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right;
For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
6 Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.'
On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
8 Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.
9 For he hath said: 'It profiteth a man nothing that he should be in accord with God.'
For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that He should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that He should commit iniquity.
Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
11 For the work of a man will He requite unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
For [the] work of a person he will repay to him and according to [the] way of a person he will make find him.
12 Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
13 Who gave Him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?
Who? did he assign on him [the] earth towards and who? did he put [the] world all of it.
14 If He set His heart upon man, if He gather unto Himself his spirit and his breath;
If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return unto dust.
It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this; hearken to the voice of my words.
And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
17 Shall even one that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn Him that is just and mighty —
¿ Also [one who] hates justice will he govern and or? [the] righteous [one] [the] mighty [one] will you condemn as guilty.
18 Is it fit to say to a king: 'Thou art base'? Or to nobles: 'Ye are wicked'? —
¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
19 That respecteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they all are the work of His hands.
Who not he lifts up - [the] faces of princes and not he regards a rich person before a poor [person] for [are the] work of hands his all of them.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight; the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand.
A moment - they die and [the] middle of [the] night they are shaken a people so they may pass away and people may remove [the] mighty not by a hand.
21 For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He seeth all his goings.
For eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
23 For He doth not appoint a time unto any man, when he should go before God in judgment.
For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquisition, and setteth others in their stead.
He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
25 Therefore He taketh knowledge of their works; and He overturneth them in the night, so that they are crushed.
Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
27 Because they turned aside from following Him, and would not have regard to any of His ways;
That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto Him, and He heareth the cry of the afflicted.
To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
29 When He giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hideth His face, who then can behold Him? whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike;
And he he will keep quiet - and who? will he condemn [him] as guilty and he may hide face and who? will he observe him and over a nation and over a person alike.
30 That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people.
From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
31 For hath any said unto God: 'I have borne chastisement, though I offend not;
For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
32 That which I see not teach Thou me; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'?
Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.
33 Shall His recompense be as thou wilt? For thou loathest it, so that thou must choose, and not I; therefore speak what thou knowest.
¿ From with you will he repay it if you have rejected for you you will choose and not I and what? do you know speak.
34 Men of understanding will say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me:
People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
35 'Job speaketh without knowledge, and his words are without discernment.'
Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
36 Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
For he adds to sin his transgression between us he claps and he multiplies words his to God.
