Job 16
1 Job replied [to Eliphaz and the others: ]
Tad Ījabs atbildēja un sacīja:
2 “I have heard things like that before; all of you, [instead of helping me, ] are only causing me to feel more miserable.
Tādas lietas nu papilnam esmu dzirdējis, jūs visi esat nelāga iepriecinātāji.
3 Will your speeches, which are only hot air, never end [RHQ]? Eliphaz, what bothers/irritates you so much that you continue replying to me?
Vai tie uzpūstie vārdi nu būs galā, vai kas tevi dzen tā atbildēt?
4 If it were you [three and not I] who were suffering, I could say the things that you are saying; I could make great speeches [to criticize/condemn you], and I could shake my head at you [to ridicule you].
Es gan tāpat runātu kā jūs, kad jūsu dvēsele būtu manā vietā, ar vārdiem es pret jums turētos un kratītu savu galvu pār jums.
5 But, [unlike all of you, ] with what I said [MTY] I would encourage you and try to cause your pain to be less.
Es jūs stiprinātu ar savu muti, jūs iepriecinātu ar savām lūpām.
6 “But now, if I talk, my pain does not decrease, and if I am silent, my pain still certainly does not [RHQ] go away.
Kad es runāju, tad manas sāpes nerimst, un kad es klusu ciešu, vai tad tās nostājās?
7 God has now taken away all my strength, and he has destroyed my family.
Tiešām, nu Viņš mani nokausējis; Tu esi izklīdinājis visu manu saimi,
8 He has shriveled me up, and people think that shows that I [am a sinner]. And people see that I am only skin and bones, and they think that proves that I [am guilty].
Un mani darījis grumbainu, - tas ir par liecību, un mana liecība cēlās pret mani un mani apsūdzēja pašā vaigā.
9 Because God is very angry with me and hates me, [it is as though he is a wild animal that] [MET] has gnashed his teeth at me because he is my enemy.
Viņa bardzība mani saplosīja un vajāja, Viņš sakož Savus zobus par mani, mans pretinieks met briesmīgas acis uz mani.
10 People gape/stare at me with their mouths open [to sneer at me]; they have struck me on the face/cheek to ridicule me, and they crowd around me to threaten me.
Tie atplēš muti pret mani, un lādot tie mani sit vaigā, tie sapulcējās kopā pret mani.
11 [It is as though] God has handed me over to ungodly people and turned me over to the wicked [DOU].
Dievs mani nodevis neliešiem un man licis nākt bezdievīgu rokā.
12 Previously, I was living peacefully, but he crushed me; [it is as though] he grabbed my neck and smashed me to pieces. [It is as though] [MET] he set me up like a target;
Es biju mierā, bet Viņš mani sadauzījis, Viņš mani grābis pie kakla un mani satriecis un mani licis Sev par mērķi.
13 people are surrounding me [and shooting arrows at me]. His arrows pierce my kidneys and cause the bile [from my liver] to spill onto the ground, and God does not pity me at all.
Viņa bultas ap mani skraida, Viņš sašķēlis manas īkstis un nav taupījis, Viņš manu žulti izlējis zemē.
14 [It is as though] [MET] I am a wall that he is breaking through; he rushes at me like [SIM] a soldier [attacking his enemies].
Plosīdams Viņš mani plosot plosījis, Viņš kā pats varenais pret mani lauzies.
15 [“Because I am mourning, ] I wear pieces of rough cloth that I have sewed together, and I sit [here] in the dirt, very depressed/discouraged.
Es maisu esmu šuvis ap savu ādu un savu ragu licis pīšļos,
16 My face is red because I have cried very much, and there are dark circles around my eyes.
Mans vaigs ir nosarcis no raudām, un pār maniem acu vākiem ir nāves ēna,
17 [All this has happened to me] even though I have not acted violently [toward anyone], and I [always] pray sincerely/honestly [to God].
Jebšu netaisnība nav manā rokā, un mana lūgšana ir šķīsta.
18 [When I die, ] I want the ground [APO] to [act as though I had been murdered and] cry out against those who killed me, and I do not want anyone to stop me while I am demanding [that God act justly toward] me.
Zeme, neapklāj manas asinis, un mana saukšana lai nemitās!
19 But even now, [I know that] there is someone in heaven who will testify for me, and he will say that what I have done is right.
Jau tagad, redzi, mans liecinieks ir debesīs, un mans liecības devējs debess augstībā.
20 My [three] friends scorn/ridicule me, but my eyes are full of tears [while I cry out] to God.
Mani draugi ir mani mēdītāji, bet no manas acs asaras pil uz Dievu,
21 I pray that [the] one [who knows what I have done] would come to plead with God for me like people plead for their friends.
Kaut Viņš tiesu nestu starp vīru un Dievu un starp cilvēka bērnu un viņa draugu!
22 [I say this because] within a few years [I will die]; I will walk along the [to the grave] from which I will never return.”
Jo tie noliktie gadi ies galā, un es aiziešu ceļu, kur atpakaļ negriezīšos.
