Jób 35
1 S megszólalt Elíhú és mondta:
Then Elihu also said this:
2 Ezt gondolod-e jognak, erről mondod-e: igazságom Isten előtt,
“[Job, ] do you think that what you said is right/correct? You say, ‘God knows that I am innocent,’
3 hogy azt mondod, mi hasznod van, mit érek el többet, mint vétkemmel?
and you say [to God], ‘What good have I received for not sinning? What benefit have I received from that?’ [DOU, RHQ]
4 Én válaszolok neked szavakkal s barátaidnak veled együtt.
[Well, ] I will answer you, and I will answer your three friends, too.
5 Tekints az égre s láss, s nézd a fellegeket, melyek magasabbak nálad!
“[Job], look up at the sky; look at the clouds that are high above you and realize [that God is far above everything].
6 Ha vétkeztél, mit mivelsz ellene, s ha sok a bűntetted, mit teszel neki;
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].
7 ha igazad van, mit adsz neki, vagy mit fogad el kezedből?
And if you are righteous, does that help God? No, he is not benefited by anything that you do [DOU].
8 A magadféle férfit illeti gonoszságod, és ember fiát igazságod.
It is other people who suffer because of the wicked things that you do, but by doing good things for people, you help them.
9 A sok zsarolás miatt kiáltanak, panaszkodnak sokaknak a karja miatt;
“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.
10 de nem mondják, hol van Isten, teremtőm, a ki adja, hogy énekre keljek éjjel,
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.
11 a ki oktat minket a föld barmai által, s az ég madarai által bölcsekké tesz.
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!’
12 Akkor kiáltanak, de nem felel, a rosszak gőgje miatt.
People cry out [for help], but God does not answer them, because those who cry out are proud and evil people.
13 Bizony, hamisságot nem hall az Isten, s a Mindenható nem látja meg;
It is useless for them to cry out, because God, the Almighty One, does not pay any attention to what they say.
14 hát még midőn mondod, hogy nem látod Őt, előtte van az ügy és to vársz reá.
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!
15 És most azzal, hogy: semmiért büntetett haragja és nem nagyon tudott bűntettről –
Furthermore, [you say that] because he does not pay attention when people commit sins, he does not become angry and punish them.
16 Jób hiábavalóságra nyitja meg a száját, tudás nélkül szaporít szavakat.
You say things that are useless; you say a lot of things without knowing [what you are talking about].”
