Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu continued, saying,
Un Elihus vēl atbildēja un sacīja:
2 “Do you think this is just when you say, 'My right before God'?
Vai tev šķiet pareizi esam, ka tu saki: mana taisnība iet pāri par Dieva taisnību,
3 For you ask, 'What use is it to me?' and, 'Would I be better off if I had sinned?'
Ka tu saki: kas man no tās atlec, ko es ar to vairāk panākšu nekā ar saviem grēkiem?
4 I will answer you, both you and your friends.
Es tev vārdu atbildēšu un taviem draugiem pie tevis:
5 Look up at the sky, and see it; see the sky, which is higher than you.
Skaties pret debesi un redzi, uzlūko padebešus, kas ir augsti pāri pār tevi.
6 If you have sinned, what harm do you do to God? If your transgressions pile up high, what do you do to him?
Ja tu grēko, ko tu Viņam vari darīt? Un lai tavu pārkāpumu daudz, ko tu Viņam padarīsi?
7 If you are righteous, what can you give to him? What will he receive from your hand?
Ja tu esi taisns, kas Viņam no tā tiek, jeb ko Viņš dabū no tavas rokas?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man, as you are a man, and your righteousness might benefit another son of man.
Tev cilvēkam tava bezdievība par postu, un tev cilvēka bērnam tava taisnība nāk par labu.
9 Because of many acts of oppression, people cry out; they call for help from the arms of mighty men.
Par varas darbu pulku tie brēc, tie kliedz lielo kungu elkoņa dēļ.
10 But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
Bet neviens nesaka: kur ir Dievs, mans Radītājs, kas ir naktī dod slavas dziesmas,
11 who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth, and who makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
Kas mūs darījis jo izmācītus, nekā lopus virs zemes, un gudrākus pār putniem apakš debess.
12 There they cry out, but God gives no answer because of the pride of evil men.
Tie tur brēc, bet Viņš neatbild ļauno pārgalvības dēļ.
13 God will certainly not hear a foolish cry; the Almighty will pay no attention to it.
Tiešām, Dievs netaisnību nepaklausa un tas Visuvarenais to neuzlūko.
14 How much less will he answer you if you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him, and that you are waiting for him!
Jebšu tu saki, ka tu Viņu neredzēsi, tā tiesas lieta ir Viņa priekšā, gaidi tik uz Viņu.
15 Now you say that his anger does not punish, and he does not take even a litte notice of transgression.
Bet nu, ka Viņa dusmība vēl nepiemeklē, vai Viņš tādēļ vērā neliek, ka pārkāpumu ir tik daudz?
16 So Job opens his mouth only to speak foolishness; he piles up words without knowledge.”
Un tomēr Ījabs tukšiem vārdiem atvēris savu muti un daudz runājis bez saprašanas.
