Job 23
1 Then Job answered and said,
Bet Ījabs atbildēja un sacīja:
2 Even to day [is] my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than 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 Will he plead against me with [his] great power? No; but he would put [strength] in me.
Vai Viņš pēc Sava lielā spēka ar mani tiesāsies? Nē, Viņš klausīsies uz mani.
7 There the righteous might dispute 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, where he doth work, but I cannot behold [him: ] he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see [him: ]
Ja Viņš ziemeļos dara Savu darbu, tad es Viņu neraugu, ja Viņš nogriežas uz dienasvidu, tad es Viņu neredzu.
10 But 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 his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
Mana kāja turējās Viņa pēdās, es Viņa ceļu esmu sargājis un neesmu atkāpies.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed 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] in one [mind], 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 performeth [the thing that 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 troubled 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 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Tas stiprais Dievs manu sirdi darījis bailīgu, un tas Visuvarenais mani iztrūcinājis.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Jo tādā tumsībā es vēl neesmu izdeldēts, lai gan tumsa manu vaigu apklājusi.
