Job 34
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
Un Elihus atbildēja un sacīja:
2 “Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
Klausāties, gudrie, manu valodu, un prātīgie, atgriežat ausis pie manis;
3 For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
Jo auss pārbauda vārdus, tā kā mute bauda barību.
4 Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know amongst ourselves what is good.
Lai pārspriežam savā starpā, lai kopā atzīstam, kas ir labi.
5 For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.
Jo Ījabs saka: es esmu taisns, bet Dievs ir atņēmis manu tiesu.
6 Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
Lai gan man taisnība, mani tura par melkuli, manas mokas ir nedziedinājamas, lai gan neesmu noziedzies.
7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
Kur ir gan cilvēks, kā Ījabs, kas zaimošanu dzer kā ūdeni,
8 who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
Un draudzējās ar ļaundarītājiem un staigā ar bezdievīgiem?
9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’
Jo viņš saka: cilvēkam nekā nepalīdz, ka tas mīļo Dievu.
10 “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
Tādēļ, gudrie vīri, klausāties mani. Nevar būt, ka Dievs ir ļauns un tas Visuvarenais netaisns.
11 For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
Jo Viņš cilvēkam maksā pēc viņa darba, un ikkatram liek klāties pēc viņa gājuma.
12 Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
Patiesi, Dievs nedara ļauna, un tas Visuvarenais nepārgroza tiesu!
13 Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?
Kam pasaule ir pavēlēta, ja ne Viņam, un kas ir radījis visu zemi?
14 If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
Ja Viņš Savu sirdi grieztu uz Sevi pašu vien, un Savu garu un Savu dvašu ņemtu pie Sevis:
15 all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
Tad visa miesa kopā mirtu, un cilvēks taptu atkal par pīšļiem.
16 “If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
Ja nu tev ir saprašana, klausi to, ņem vērā manas valodas balsi.
17 Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
Vai jel, kas taisnību ienīst, varēs vadīt? Kā tad tev bija tiesāt to Vistaisnāko?
18 who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
Viņu, kas uz ķēniņu var sacīt: tu netikli, un uz valdnieku: tu blēdi;
19 He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.
Kas neuzlūko valdnieku vaigu un neieredz bagātus vairāk nekā nabagus, jo tie visi ir Viņa roku darbs.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
Acumirklī tie nomirst, un nakts vidū tautas top iztrūcinātas un iet bojā, un varenie top aizrauti un ne caur cilvēka roku.
21 “For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
Jo Viņa acis skatās uz cilvēka ceļiem, un Viņš redz visus viņa soļus.
22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Tumsas nav nedz nāves ēnas, kur ļaundarītāji varētu slēpties.
23 For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgement.
Viņam cilvēks ilgi nav jāmeklē, ka lai nāk uz tiesu Dieva priekšā.
24 He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
Viņš satriec varenos bez izmeklēšanas un ieceļ citus viņu vietā.
25 Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Tāpēc ka Viņš zina viņu darbus, Viņš tos apgāž naktī, ka tie top satriekti.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
Viņš tos šausta kā bezdievīgus, tādā vietā, kur visi redz.
27 because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
Tāpēc ka tie no Viņa atkāpušies un nav apdomājuši visus Viņa ceļus.
28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
Ka nabaga brēkšanai bija jānāk pie Viņa, un bēdīgā kliegšanu Viņš paklausīja.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
Kad Viņš dod mieru, kas tad pazudinās? Kad Viņš Savu vaigu apslēpj, kas Viņu skatīs? Tā tas ir ar tautām, tā ar ikvienu cilvēku,
30 that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
Lai nelieša cilvēks nevalda un tautai nav par valgiem.
31 “For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
Jo uz Dievu jāsaka: man bija jācieš, es vairs negrēkošu.
32 Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
Ko es neredzu, to māci tu man; ja esmu darījis netaisnību, tad to vairs nedarīšu.
33 Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
Vai Dievs lai atlīdzina pēc tava prāta? Jo tu neesi mierā! tad spriedi tu, ne es! Un ko tu taču māki sacīt!
34 Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
Prātīgi ļaudis man sacīs, un ikviens gudrs vīrs, kas uz mani klausījies:
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’
Ījabs runājis neprazdams, un viņa vārdi nav bijuši gudri.
36 I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
Kaut Ījabs taptu pārbaudīts līdz galam, ka viņš runā, kā bezdievīgi ļaudis.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands amongst us, and multiplies his words against God.”
Jo viņš krauj grēku uz grēku, viņš mūsu priekšā zaimo un runā daudz pret to stipro Dievu. -
