Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said:
Un Elihus vēl runāja un sacīja:
2 Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on God's behalf.
Pagaidi man vēl maķenīt, es tev mācīšu, jo no Dieva puses vēl kas jāsaka.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Es meklēšu savu atzīšanu no tālienes un gādāšu savam radītājam taisnību.
4 For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.
Jo tiešām, mana valoda nav meli; tavā priekšā ir, kam atzīšanas netrūkst.
5 Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Redzi, Dievs ir varens un tomēr neatmet, Viņš ir varens gudrības spēkā.
6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.
Viņš bezdievīgam neliek dzīvot, un bēdīgam nes tiesu.
7 He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
Viņš nenovērš savas acis no taisnā, bet pie ķēniņiem uz goda krēsla, tur Viņš tiem liek sēdēt mūžam, ka top paaugstināti.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
Un kur cietuma ļaudis ir ķēdēs un top turēti bēdu saitēs,
9 Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
Tur Viņš tiem dara zināmu viņu darbu un viņu pārkāpumus, ka cēlušies lepnībā.
10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
Viņš tiem atdara ausi mācībai, un saka, lai atgriežas no netaisnības.
11 If they hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Ja tie nu klausa un Viņam kalpo, tad tie pavada savas dienas labumā un savus gadus laimē.
12 But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Un ja tie neklausa, tad tie krīt caur zobenu un mirst bez atzīšanas.
13 But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth them.
Bet kam neskaidra sirds, tie kurn, tie nepiesauc, kad Viņš tos saistījis.
14 Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.
Tā tad viņu dvēsele mirst jaunībā, un viņu dzīvība paiet ar mauciniekiem.
15 He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.
Bet bēdīgo Viņš izpestī viņa bēdās, un atver viņa ausis bēdu laikā.
16 Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;
Tāpat Viņš tevi izraus no bēdu rīkles uz klaju vietu, kur bēdu nav, un tavs galds būs pilns ar treknumu.
17 And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.
Bet ja tu esi pilns bezdievīgas tiesāšanās, tad tiesa un sodība tevi ķers.
18 For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
Lai sirds rūgtums tev jel neskubina zaimot, un tā lielā pārbaudīšana lai tevi nenovērš.
19 Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?
Vai tu ar brēkšanu no bēdām tiksi vaļā, vai cīnīdamies ar visu spēku?
20 Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.
Neilgojies pēc tās nakts, kas noceļ tautas no savas vietas.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
Sargies, negriezies pie netaisnības, jo tā tev vairāk patīk nekā pacietība.
22 Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; who is a teacher like Him?
Redzi, Dievs ir augsts savā spēkā; kur ir tāds mācītājs, kā Viņš?
23 Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?
Kas Viņam raudzīs uz Viņa ceļu, vai kas uz Viņu sacīs: Tu dari netaisnību?
24 Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.
Piemini, ka arī tu paaugstini Viņa darbu, par ko ļaudis dzied.
25 All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.
Visi ļaudis to skatās ar prieku, cilvēks to ierauga no tālienes.
26 Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
Redzi, Dievs ir augsts un neizmanāms, Viņa gadu pulku nevar izdibināt.
27 For He draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;
Viņš savelk ūdens lāsītes, un lietus līst no viņa miglas.
28 Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.
Tas līst no padebešiem un pil uz daudz cilvēkiem.
29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?
Vai var izprast, kā padebeši izplešas, un kā Viņa dzīvoklis rīb?
30 Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.
Redzi, Viņš ģērbjas zibeņu spīdumā un apklājās ar jūras dziļumiem.
31 For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.
Jo tā Viņš soda tautas un dod barības papilnam.
32 He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.
Viņa abējās rokās spīdumi, un Viņš tiem rāda, kur lai sper.
33 The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
Pērkona balss sludina Viņu nākam, un ganāmi pulki, ka Viņš tuvu.
