< Job 34 >

1 And Elihu commenced, and said,
And he answered Elihu and he said.
2 Hear, O ye wise men, my words; and ye that have knowledge, give ear unto me.
Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.
3 For the ear proveth words, as the palate tasteth the food.
For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
4 Let us choose for ourselves what is just: let us acknowledge between 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 justice from me.
For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
6 Should I lie concerning the justice due me? incurable is [my wound from] the arrow I bear in me without any transgression.”
On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
7 What man is there like Job, who drinketh scorning like water,
Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
8 And is on the road to keep company with the wrong-doers, and to walk with men of wickedness?
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 when he acteth according to the pleasure of God.”
For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
10 Therefore ye men of sense hearken unto me: far is it from God to practise wickedness; and from the Almighty to do wrong!
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 son of earth doth he recompense unto him, and according to the path of man doth he permit things to occur to him.
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, surely God will not condemn unjustly, nor will the Almighty pervert justice.
Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
13 Who hath given him a charge concerning the earth? or who hath intrusted [him] 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 were to set his heart upon man, he would 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 would perish together, and the son of earth would return again unto dust.
It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
16 If then thou wishest to understand, hear this: give ear to the sound of my words.
And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
17 Is it possible that he who hateth justice should govern? or wilt thou condemn the righteous mighty One?
¿ 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 worthless? and to princes, Ye are wicked?
¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
19 Whereas he is one that showeth no favor to chieftains, and distinguisheth not the rich before the indigent; for all of them 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 will they die, and in the midst of the night; people are moved, and pass away: and the mighty will be removed without a human 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 big eyes are upon the ways of man, and all his steps doth he see.
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 evil-doers can hide themselves.
There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
23 For he need not direct [his attention] a long time upon man, that he should enter into judgment before God.
For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
24 He breaketh down mighty men without [long] searching, and placeth others in their stead.
He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
25 For the reason that he knoweth their deeds: therefore he overturneth them in the night, and they are crushed.
Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
26 Among wicked men doth he strike them, in the place where [many] see them:
In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
27 Because they have departed from following him, and have not considered all his ways.
That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
28 Bringing before them the cry of the indigent, and the cry of the afflicted which he had to hear.
To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
29 When he now granteth rest, who will condemn [him]! and when he hideth his face, who can behold him? whether it be against a nation, or against one man, it is the same:
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 no hypocritical man may reign, that such shall not be a mare to the people.
From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
31 For truly it is only fitting to say unto God, “I bear [cheerfully], I will not do any wrong;
For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
32 What I cannot see myself, do thou truly teach me; if I have done what is unjust, I will do so no more.”
Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.
33 Should he then according to thy view send a recompense, because thou hast rejected him? “Because thou must choose, and not I?” and what thou knowest, do speak.
¿ 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 sense will say unto me, and every wise man who heareth me,
People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
35 That Job hath not spoken with knowledge, and that his words are without intelligence.
Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
36 Oh that Job may therefore be probed continually, in order to give answers against sinful men.
Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
37 For he addeth unto his sin transgression: among us he uttereth too many loud words, and multiplieth his speeches against God.
For he adds to sin his transgression between us he claps and he multiplies words his to God.
