Job 13
1 There! all it has seen eye my it has heard ear my and it has understood it.
“Hey, I [SYN] have seen everything [that you have seen], and I have heard and understood all [that you have said].
2 Like knowledge your I know also I not [am] falling I more than you.
What you know, I also know; I do (not know less than/know as much as) you.
3 But I to [the] Almighty I will speak and to argue to God I desire.
But I would like to speak to Almighty God, [not to you]; I would like to argue with him [and prove that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong]).
4 And but you [are] smearers of falsehood [are] physicians of worthlessness all of you.
As for you, you do not allow people to know the truth about me, like someone covers [up a bad surface of a wall] with whitewash [MET]. You are all like doctors [MET] [that give people] useless [medicines].
5 Who? will he give certainly you will be silent! and it may become for you wisdom.
I wish/desire that you would be silent; that would be the wisest thing that you [could do].
6 Listen to please argument my and [the] contentions of lips my pay attention to.
Listen to what I will say to you now; listen while I am saying [what is true about myself].
7 ¿ for God will you speak unrighteousness and for him will you speak? deceit.
Are you telling lies about me to prove God [is just in causing me to suffer]? Are you saying what is deceitful in order to benefit him?
8 ¿ Face his will you lift up! or? for God will you argue a case!
Are you trying to defend him? Are you trying to prove [as you would] in a court that he is innocent?
9 ¿ [will it be] good If he will examine you or? as deceives a person will you deceive him.
If he looks closely, will he find that everything that you have done is good? Or can you deceive him, like you deceive other people?
10 Certainly he will rebuke you if in secrecy faces you will lift up!
If you secretly say/do things to cause God to act favorably toward you, he will surely rebuke you.
11 ¿ Not majesty his will it terrify you and dread his will it fall? on you.
He will certainly [RHQ] cause you to be terrified by his power/greatness; you will become extremely afraid.
12 Memorials your [are] proverbs of ash[es] [are] defenses of clay defenses your.
The things that you say [that you think are] wise are [as useless as] [MET] as ashes; what you say to defend your opinions is no better than [MET] clay [that quickly crumbles].
13 Be silent from me so let me speak I and let it pass on me whatever.
“So, be quiet and allow me to speak, and then it will not matter what happens to me.
14 Concerning what? - will I take flesh my in teeth my and life my will I put? in palm my.
I am ready to endure anything; I am [even] willing to risk being executed [IDM, DOU] [for what I will say].
15 There! he will kill me (to him *Q(K)*) I will hope nevertheless ways my to face his I will argue.
If God kills me, then I will not have anyone else whom I can confidently expect to help me, but I am going to defend my behavior in his presence [anyway].
16 Also that of me [will be] for deliverance for not before him a godless [person] he will come.
No wicked/godless person would dare to stand in the presence of God, [but because I say that I have not done things that are wrong], perhaps, if I can prove that to God, he will save me.”
17 Listen completely [to] speech my and declaration my [be] in ears your.
“God, listen very carefully to what I say [DOU].
18 Here! please I have arranged a case I know that I I am in [the] right.
I am ready to prove that I am innocent, and I know that you also will declare that I am not guilty.
19 Who? that will he conduct a case with me if now I will keep silent and I may expire.
I certainly do not think [RHQ] that [you or anyone else] will say that what I say is not true; if anyone did that, I would (be silent/stop talking) and die.
20 Only two [things] may not you do with me then from before you not I will hide myself.
“I am requesting you to do two things for me; if you do them, I will (not hide from you/come and stand in front of you) [LIT].
21 Hand your from on me put far away and dread your may not it terrify me.
[The first thing that I request is that you] stop punishing [IDM] me; and [the second thing that I request is that you] stop causing me to be very terrified.
22 And call and I I will answer or let me speak and respond to me.
You speak [first], and then I will reply; or allow me to speak first, and [then] you reply.
23 How many? of me [are] iniquities and sins transgression my and sin my make known to me.
What have I done that is wrong? What sins have I committed? Show me how I have disobeyed you.
24 Why? face your do you hide and do you consider? me to an enemy of you.
Why (do you refuse to be friendly with/have you abandoned) me [IDM]? Why do you (act toward me as though I am/consider me to be) your enemy?
25 ¿ A leaf driven about will you terrify and chaff dry will you pursue?
I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a leaf that is blown by the wind; why are you trying to cause me to be afraid [RHQ]? Why are you pursuing me? Am I [useless, nothing more than a bit of] dry chaff [RHQ]?
26 For you write on me bitter things and you cause to inherit me [the] iniquities of youth my.
[It seems that] you are writing things to accuse me [of doing things that are wrong], even recalling bad things that I did when I was young.
27 And you put in the stock[s] - feet my so you may watch all paths my on [the] roots of feet my you make a mark.
[It is as though] you have fastened my feet with chains [to prevent me from walking], and you watch me wherever I walk; [It is as though] you even look closely at my footprints [to see where I have gone].
28 And he like rottenness he wears out like a garment [which] it eats it a moth.
[As a result], my body is decaying like [SIM] rotten wood, like a piece of cloth that is eaten by [larvae of] moths.”
