< Job 22 >

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
ויען אליפז התמני ויאמר
2 ¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
הלאל יסכן-גבר-- כי-יסכן עלימו משכיל
3 ¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
החפץ לשדי כי תצדק ואם-בצע כי-תתם דרכיך
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
המיראתך יכיחך יבוא עמך במשפט
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
הלא רעתך רבה ואין-קץ לעונתיך
6 For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
כי-תחבל אחיך חנם ובגדי ערומים תפשיט
7 Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
לא-מים עיף תשקה ומרעב תמנע-לחם
8 And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
ואיש זרוע לו הארץ ונשוא פנים ישב בה
9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
אלמנות שלחת ריקם וזרעות יתמים ידכא
10 There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
על-כן סביבותיך פחים ויבהלך פחד פתאם
11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
או-חשך לא-תראה ושפעת-מים תכסך
12 ¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
הלא-אלוה גבה שמים וראה ראש כוכבים כי-רמו
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
ואמרת מה-ידע אל הבעד ערפל ישפוט
14 Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
עבים סתר-לו ולא יראה וחוג שמים יתהלך
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
הארח עולם תשמור-- אשר דרכו מתי-און
16 Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
אשר-קמטו ולא-עת נהר יוצק יסודם
17 Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
האמרים לאל סור ממנו ומה-יפעל שדי למו
18 And he he filled houses their good thing[s] and [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
והוא מלא בתיהם טוב ועצת רשעים רחקה מני
19 They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
יראו צדיקים וישמחו ונקי ילעג-למו
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
אם-לא נכחד קימנו ויתרם אכלה אש
21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
הסכן-נא עמו ושלם בהם תבואתך טובה
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
קח-נא מפיו תורה ושים אמריו בלבבך
23 If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
אם-תשוב עד-שדי תבנה תרחיק עולה מאהלך
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
ושית-על-עפר בצר ובצור נחלים אופיר
25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
והיה שדי בצריך וכסף תועפות לך
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
כי-אז על-שדי תתענג ותשא אל-אלוה פניך
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
תעתיר אליו וישמעך ונדריך תשלם
28 And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
ותגזר-אמר ויקם לך ועל-דרכיך נגה אור
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
כי-השפילו ותאמר גוה ושח עינים יושע
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
ימלט אי-נקי ונמלט בבר כפיך
