Job 35
1 Then Elihu also said this:
Отвещав же еще Елиус, рече:
2 “[Job, ] do you think that what you said is right/correct? You say, ‘God knows that I am innocent,’
что сие мнил еси на суде? Ты кто еси, яко рекл еси: прав есмь пред Господем?
3 and you say [to God], ‘What good have I received for not sinning? What benefit have I received from that?’ [DOU, RHQ]
Или речеши: что сотворю согрешив?
4 [Well, ] I will answer you, and I will answer your three friends, too.
Аз же ти дам ответ и трием другом твоим.
5 “[Job], look up at the sky; look at the clouds that are high above you and realize [that God is far above everything].
Воззри на небо и виждь: смотри же на облаки, коль высоки суть от тебе.
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].
Аще согрешил еси, что сотвориши? Аще же и много беззаконновал еси, что можеши сотворити?
7 And if you are righteous, does that help God? No, he is not benefited by anything that you do [DOU].
Понеже убо праведен еси, что даси Ему? Или что из руки твоея возмет?
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.
Мужеви подобному тебе нечестие твое, и сыну человеческому правда твоя.
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.
От множества оклеветаемии воззовут, возопиют от мышцы многих:
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.
и не рече: где есть Бог сотворивый мя, устрояяй стражбы нощныя,
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!’
отделяяй мя от четвероногих земных и от небесных птиц?
12 People cry out [for help], but God does not answer them, because those who cry out are proud and evil people.
Тамо воззовут, и не имаши услышати, и от досады злых.
13 It is useless for them to cry out, because God, the Almighty One, does not pay any attention to what they say.
Безместная бо видети не хощет Господь: Сам бо Вседержитель зритель есть творящих беззаконная, и спасет мя.
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!
Судися же пред Ним, аще можеши похвалити Его, якоже есть и ныне.
15 Furthermore, [you say that] because he does not pay attention when people commit sins, he does not become angry and punish them.
Яко несть посещаяй гневом Своим, и не позна прегрешения коеголибо зело.
16 You say things that are useless; you say a lot of things without knowing [what you are talking about].”
Иов же всуе отверзает уста своя, неведением словеса отягощает.
