Ījaba 14
1 Cilvēks, no sievas dzimis, dzīvo īsu laiku un ir pilns grūtuma.
“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 Viņš izaug kā puķe un novīst, viņš bēg kā ēna un nepastāv.
He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
3 Un par tādu Tu atveri savas acis un vedi mani Tavas tiesas priekšā.
Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgement with you?
4 Kas dos šķīstu no nešķīstiem? Nav neviena.
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
5 Viņa dienas jau ir nospriestas, viņa mēnešu pulks stāv pie Tevis, Tu tam esi licis robežu, to viņš nepārkāps.
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.
6 Griez nost Savas acis no tā, ka atpūšās, ka tas priecājās kā algādzis, savu dienu nobeidzis.
Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.
7 Jo kokam, kad top nocirsts, ir cerība, ka atkal atjaunosies, un viņa atvases nemitās.
“For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
8 Jebšu viņa sakne zemē kļūst paveca, un viņa celms pīšļos mirst,
Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
9 Taču no ūdens smaržas viņš atkal izplaukst un dabū zarus kā iedēstīts.
yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.
10 Bet vīrs mirst, un ir pagalam, cilvēks izlaiž dvēseli, - un kur nu ir?
But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
11 Ūdeņi iztek no ezera, un upe izsīkst un izžūst.
As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
12 Tāpat cilvēks apgūlās un necēlās vairs; kamēr debesis zūd, tie neuzmodīsies, un netaps traucēti no sava miega.
so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
13 Ak, kaut Tu mani apslēptu kapā un mani apsegtu, kamēr Tava dusmība novērstos; kaut Tu man galu nolemtu un tad mani pieminētu! (Sheol h7585)
“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me! (Sheol h7585)
14 Kad vīrs mirst, vai tas atkal dzīvos? Es gaidītu visu savu kalpošanas laiku, kamēr nāktu mana atsvabināšana.
If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.
15 Tu sauktu un es Tev atbildētu; Tu ilgotos pēc Sava roku darba.
You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 Bet nu Tu skaiti manus soļus un neapstājies manu grēku dēļ.
But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
17 Mana pārkāpšana ir noglabāta un apzieģelēta, un Tu pielieci vēl klāt pie mana nozieguma.
My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
18 Tiešām, kalns sagrūst, kad tas krīt, un klints aizceļas no savas vietas.
“But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place.
19 Ūdens izgrauž akmeņus, un viņa plūdi aizpludina zemes pīšļus, un cilvēka cerībai Tu lieci zust.
The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
20 Tu viņu pārvari pavisam un viņš aiziet; Tu pārvērti viņa ģīmi, un tā Tu viņu aizdzeni.
You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
21 Vai viņa bērni tiek godā, viņš to nezin, vai tie ir trūkumā, ir to viņš no tiem nesamana.
His sons come to honour, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
22 Viņa paša miesās ir sāpes, un viņa paša dvēselei jāžēlojās.
But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”
