< Job 34 >
1 Furthermore Elihu responded, and said: —
And he answered Elihu and he said.
2 Hear, ye wise men, my words, and, ye who know, give ear unto me;
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 in eating.
For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
4 What is right, let us choose for ourselves, 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, But, GOD, hath turned away my right;
For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
6 Concerning mine own right, shall I tell a falsehood? Incurable is my disease—not for any transgression.
On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
7 What man is like Job? He drinketh in scoffing like water;
Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
8 And is on the way to keep company, with the workers of iniquity, and to walk with lawless men.
And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.
9 For he hath said, It profiteth not a man, when, his good pleasure, is with God.
For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
10 Wherefore, ye men of mind, hearken unto me, —Far be it, that, GOD, should be lawless, or, the Almighty, be perverse!
Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
11 For, what any son of earth doeth, he repayeth him, and, according to every man’s course, he causeth him to find.
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 Nay, verily, GOD, will not condemn unjustly, —nor, the Almighty, pervert justice.
Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
13 Who set him in charge of the earth? Or who appointed [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 should set against him his heart, His spirit and his inspiration, unto himself he should withdraw.
If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.
15 All flesh together, would cease to breathe, and, the earth-born, unto dust, would return.
It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
16 If then [thou hast] understanding, hear this, Give thou ear to the teaching of my words: —
And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
17 Shall, the very hater of right, control? Or, the just—the mighty one, wilt thou condemn?
¿ Also [one who] hates justice will he govern and or? [the] righteous [one] [the] mighty [one] will you condemn as guilty.
18 Doth one say to a king, Abandoned one! Or, Lawless one! unto nobles?
¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
19 For he hath shewn no respect of persons unto princes, neither hath he recognised the rich rather than the poor? For, the work of his hands, are they all.
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 in the middle of the night, —A people are convulsed when they pass away, A mighty one is removed, 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 on the ways of a man, and, all his footsteps, he beholdeth, —
For eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.
22 No darkness, and no death-shade, where the workers of iniquity may hide.
There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
23 For, unto no man, doth he appoint a repetition, —in going unto GOD in judgment;
For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
24 He shattereth mighty ones unsearchably, and setteth up others in their stead:
He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
25 Therefore, he observeth their works, —and overturneth [them] in a night, and they are crushed;
Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
26 In the place of lawless men, hath he chastised them, in presence of beholders.
In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
27 Forasmuch, as they turned from following him, and, none of his ways, did they teach;
That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
28 Causing to reach him the outcry of the poor, Yea, the outcry of the oppressed, he heareth.
To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
29 When, he, giveth quiet, who then shall condemn? And, when he hideth [his] face, who then shall sing of him? whether unto a nation or unto mankind altogether,
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 impious men may not reign, nor be ensnarers of the people.
From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
31 For, unto GOD, hath one [ever] said—I have borne punishment, I will not be perverse;
For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
32 What I see not, do, thou, shew me, If, perverseness, I have wrought, 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 According to thy mind, must he requite it, that thou hast refused? For, thou, must choose, and not, I, What then thou knowest, 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 The men of mind, will say to me, yea any wise man hearkening unto me: —
People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
35 Job, without knowledge, doth speak, and, his words, are not with discretion.
Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
36 Would that Job might be tested to the uttermost, for replying with the men of iniquity:
Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
37 For he addeth—unto his sin—rebellion, In our midst, he clappeth his hands, and multiplieth his sayings against GOD.
For he adds to sin his transgression between us he claps and he multiplies words his to God.
