איוב 19
| וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ | 1 |
Then Job answered, and said:
| עַד־אָנָה תּוֹגְיוּן נַפְשִׁי וּֽתְדַכּאוּנַנִי בְמִלִּֽים׃ | 2 |
How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
| זֶה עֶשֶׂר פְּעָמִים תַּכְלִימוּנִי לֹֽא־תֵבֹשׁוּ תַּהְכְּרוּ־לִֽי׃ | 3 |
Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.
| וְאַף־אׇמְנָם שָׁגִיתִי אִתִּי תָּלִין מְשׁוּגָתִֽי׃ | 4 |
For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
| אִם־אׇמְנָם עָלַי תַּגְדִּילוּ וְתוֹכִיחוּ עָלַי חֶרְפָּתִֽי׃ | 5 |
But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
| דְּֽעוּ־אֵפוֹ כִּֽי־אֱלוֹהַּ עִוְּתָנִי וּמְצוּדוֹ עָלַי הִקִּֽיף׃ | 6 |
At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
| הֵן אֶצְעַק חָמָס וְלֹא אֵעָנֶה אֲשַׁוַּע וְאֵין מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ | 7 |
Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
| אׇרְחִי גָדַר וְלֹא אֶעֱבוֹר וְעַל נְתִיבוֹתַי חֹשֶׁךְ יָשִֽׂים׃ | 8 |
He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
| כְּבוֹדִי מֵעָלַי הִפְשִׁיט וַיָּסַר עֲטֶרֶת רֹאשִֽׁי׃ | 9 |
He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.
| יִתְּצֵנִי סָבִיב וָאֵלַךְ וַיַּסַּע כָּעֵץ תִּקְוָתִֽי׃ | 10 |
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
| וַיַּחַר עָלַי אַפּוֹ וַיַּחְשְׁבֵנִי לוֹ כְצָרָֽיו׃ | 11 |
His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
| יַחַד ׀ יָבֹאוּ גְדוּדָיו וַיָּסֹלּוּ עָלַי דַּרְכָּם וַיַּחֲנוּ סָבִיב לְאׇהֳלִֽי׃ | 12 |
His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
| אַחַי מֵעָלַי הִרְחִיק וְיֹדְעַי אַךְ־זָרוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 13 |
He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
| חָדְלוּ קְרוֹבָי וּֽמְיֻדָּעַי שְׁכֵחֽוּנִי׃ | 14 |
My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.
| גָּרֵי בֵיתִי וְאַמְהֹתַי לְזָר תַּחְשְׁבֻנִי נׇכְרִי הָיִיתִי בְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ | 15 |
They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
| לְעַבְדִּי קָרָאתִי וְלֹא יַעֲנֶה בְּמוֹ־פִי אֶתְחַנֶּן־לֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.
| רוּחִי זָרָה לְאִשְׁתִּי וְחַנֹּתִי לִבְנֵי בִטְנִֽי׃ | 17 |
My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
| גַּם־עֲוִילִים מָאֲסוּ בִי אָקוּמָה וַיְדַבְּרוּ־בִֽי׃ | 18 |
Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me.
| תִּעֲבוּנִי כׇּל־מְתֵי סוֹדִי וְזֶה־אָהַבְתִּי נֶהְפְּכוּ־בִֽי׃ | 19 |
They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me.
| בְּעוֹרִי וּבִבְשָׂרִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי וָאֶתְמַלְּטָה בְּעוֹר שִׁנָּֽי׃ | 20 |
The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.
| חׇנֻּנִי חׇנֻּנִי אַתֶּם רֵעָי כִּי יַד־אֱלוֹהַּ נָגְעָה בִּֽי׃ | 21 |
Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
| לָמָּה תִּרְדְּפֻנִי כְמוֹ־אֵל וּמִבְּשָׂרִי לֹא תִשְׂבָּֽעוּ׃ | 22 |
Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh?
| מִי־יִתֵּן אֵפוֹ וְיִכָּתְבוּן מִלָּי מִי־יִתֵּן בַּסֵּפֶר וְיֻחָֽקוּ׃ | 23 |
Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?
| בְּעֵט־בַּרְזֶל וְעֹפָרֶת לָעַד בַּצּוּר יֵחָצְבֽוּן׃ | 24 |
With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone.
| וַאֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי גֹּאֲלִי חָי וְאַחֲרוֹן עַל־עָפָר יָקֽוּם׃ | 25 |
For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
| וְאַחַר עוֹרִי נִקְּפוּ־זֹאת וּמִבְּשָׂרִי אֶחֱזֶה אֱלֽוֹהַּ׃ | 26 |
And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
| אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי ׀ אֶחֱזֶה־לִּי וְעֵינַי רָאוּ וְלֹא־זָר כָּלוּ כִלְיֹתַי בְּחֵקִֽי׃ | 27 |
Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
| כִּי תֹאמְרוּ מַה־נִּרְדׇּף־לוֹ וְשֹׁרֶשׁ דָּבָר נִמְצָא־בִֽי׃ | 28 |
Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him?
| גּוּרוּ לָכֶם ׀ מִפְּנֵי־חֶרֶב כִּֽי־חֵמָה עֲוֺנוֹת חָרֶב לְמַעַן תֵּדְעוּן (שדין) [שַׁדּֽוּן]׃ | 29 |
Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment.
