Job 35
1 Then Elihu also said this:
Tovább is felele Elihu, és monda:
2 “[Job, ] do you think that what you said is right/correct? You say, ‘God knows that I am innocent,’
Azt gondolod-é igaznak, ha így szólsz: Az én igazságom nagyobb, mint Istené?
3 and you say [to God], ‘What good have I received for not sinning? What benefit have I received from that?’ [DOU, RHQ]
Hogyha ezt mondod: Mi hasznod belőle? Mivel várhatok többet, mintha vétkezném?
4 [Well, ] I will answer you, and I will answer your three friends, too.
Én megadom rá néked a feleletet, és barátaidnak te veled együtt.
5 “[Job], look up at the sky; look at the clouds that are high above you and realize [that God is far above everything].
Tekints az égre és lásd meg; és nézd meg a fellegeket, milyen magasan vannak feletted!
6 If you have sinned, that does not [RHQ] harm God at all. If many times you do things that are wrong, that certainly does not [RHQ] affect him [DOU].
Hogyha vétkezel, mit tehetsz ellene; ha megsokasítod bűneidet, mit ártasz néki?
7 And if you are righteous, does that help God? No, he is not benefited by anything that you do [DOU].
Ha igaz vagy, mit adsz néki, avagy mit kap a te kezedből?
8 It is other people who suffer because of the wicked things that you do, but by doing good things for people, you help them.
Az olyan embernek árt a te gonoszságod, mint te vagy, és igazságod az ilyen ember fiának használ.
9 “People cry out because of the many things that people do to others to (oppress them/treat them cruelly); they call for help because of the things that powerful people do [MTY] to them.
A sok erőszak miatt kiáltoznak; jajgatnak a hatalmasok karja miatt;
10 But (no one/none of them) calls out [to God], saying ‘Why does God, my creator, [not help me]? He [should] enable me to sing [joyful] songs, [instead of very sad songs, ] during the night.
De egy sem mondja: Hol van Isten, az én teremtőm, a ki hálaénekre indít éjszaka;
11 He [should be able to] teach us more than all the wild animals do; he [should] enable us to become wiser than [all] the birds are!’
A ki többre tanít minket a mezei vadaknál, és bölcsebbekké tesz az ég madarainál?
12 People cry out [for help], but God does not answer them, because those who cry out are proud and evil people.
Akkor azután kiálthatnak, de ő nem felel a gonoszok kevélysége miatt;
13 It is useless for them to cry out, because God, the Almighty One, does not pay any attention to what they say.
Mert a hiábavalóságot Isten meg nem hallgatja, a Mindenható arra nem tekint.
14 So, when you complain that you cannot see God, and you tell him that you are waiting for him [to decide whether or not you should be punished for what you have done], God will not listen to you, either!
Hátha még azt mondod: Te nem látod őt; az ügy előtte van és te reá vársz!
15 Furthermore, [you say that] because he does not pay attention when people commit sins, he does not become angry and punish them.
Most pedig, mivel nem büntet haragja, és nem figyelmez a nagy álnokságra:
16 You say things that are useless; you say a lot of things without knowing [what you are talking about].”
Azért tátja fel Jób hívságra a száját, és szaporítja a szót értelem nélkül.
