Job 23
1 Then Job replied again,
S felelt Jób és mondta:
2 “Today I am again complaining bitterly/strongly [to God]; I [continue] groaning, but he [SYN] [continues to] (punish me/cause me to suffer).
Ma is ellenszegülő a panaszom: csapásom ránehezedik nyögésemre.
3 I (wish that I knew/want to know) where I could meet/talk with him, so that I could go to the place where he lives.
Vajha tudnám, hogy találhatom, hogy eljutok székhelyéig:
4 If I could do that, I would tell him why [I know that] I am innocent; I would tell [MTY] to him all my (arguments/evidence [to show that I have not done what is evil]).
eléje terjeszteném az ügyet és szájamat megtölteném bizonyításokkal;
5 Then I would find out what he would reply to me [DOU].
tudnám mely szavakkal felel nekem, s megérteném, mit mond nekem.
6 Would he use his great power to argue with me? No, he would listen to me carefully.
Vajon erőnek teljével pörölne-e velem? Nem! Csakhogy ügyelne ő rám!
7 I am (an honest/a righteous) man; so I would be able to discuss things with him [fairly], and then he would declare that I am innocent, [and that decision would endure] forever.
Akkor az egyenes szállt vele vitára, s örökre megmenekülnék bírámtól.
8 “But, I have gone to the east, and he is not there; I have gone to the west, but I have not found him there.
Lám, keletre megyek – s ő nincs ott, nyugatra: s nem veszem észre;
9 I have gone north and I have gone south, but I have not seen him anywhere.
balról midőn működik, nem nézhetem meg, jobbra fordul és nem látom.
10 But he knows how I have conducted my life; and when he has finished testing me, [he] will [see that] I [am] as pure as [SIM] gold [whose impurities have all been burned out].
Mert ismeri az utat, melyet követek; megvizsgálna: mint az arany kerülnék ki.
11 I [SYN] have faithfully walked on the path that he showed me; I have not stopped [obeying] him.
Ösvényéhez ragaszkodott lábam, útját őriztem meg és nem hajlok el.
12 I have always obeyed what he [SYN] commanded; I have treasured the words that he has spoken.
Ajkai parancsától nem mozdulok el, törvényemnél fogva megóvtam szája szavait.
13 “He never changes. There is no one who can [RHQ] stop him [from doing what he desires]. Whatever he wants to do, he does.
De ő az egy, ki térítheti el? S a mit lelke megkívánt, azt megcselekszi.
14 And he will finish doing for me the things that he has planned for me; [and I am sure that] he has thought about doing many things for me.
Bizony befejezi azt, mi kiszabva van nekem s efféle sok van nála.
15 So I am terrified in his presence; when I think [about what he can do], I am very afraid [DOU].
Azért rémülök meg miatta, elgondolkozom és rettegek tőle.
16 Almighty God has caused me [SYN] to feel terrified [DOU].
Hisz Isten csüggesztette el szívemet s a Mindenható rémített meg engem;
17 [It is as though] there is only thick darkness in front of me, but it is God that I am afraid of, not the darkness.”
mert nem a sötétség miatt semmisültem meg, sem mivel arczomat a homály borította.
