Ījaba 15
1 Tad Elifas no Temanas atbildēja un sacīja:
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2 Vai tad gudram vīram būs runāt tukšas domas un savu sirdi pildīt ar vēju?
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3 Pārmācīt ar vārdiem, kas nepieklājās, un ar valodu, kur labums neatlec?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4 Tiešām, tu iznīcini Dieva bijāšanu un nicini pielūgšanu Dieva priekšā.
Yes, you cast off fear, and restrain prayer before God.
5 Jo tava mute parāda tavu noziegumu, un tu esi uzņēmies runāt, kā gudrinieki runā.
For your mouth utters your iniquity, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
6 Tava mute tevi pazudina, un ne es; tavas lūpas pret tevi dod liecību.
Your own mouth condemns you, and not I: yes, your own lips testify against you.
7 Vai tu esi tas pirmais cilvēks piedzimis, vai tu esi dzemdināts, pirms kalni bija?
Are you the first man that was born? or were you made before the hills?
8 Vai tu esi dzirdējis Dieva apslēpto padomu, vai tu gudrību esi iezīdis?
Have you heard the secret of God? and do you restrain wisdom to yourself?
9 Ko tu zini, ko mēs nezinātu, ko tu proti, un mēs to neprastu?
What know you, that we know not? what understand you, which is not in us?
10 Arī mūsu starpā ir sirmi un veci, kas ilgāki dzīvojuši, nekā tavs tēvs.
With us are both the gray headed and very aged men, much elder than your father.
11 Vai Dieva iepriecināšanas priekš tevis mazas, un vārds, laipnīgi uz tevi runāts?
Are the consolations of God small with you? is there any secret thing with you?
12 Kāpēc tava sirds tevi tā apmāna, kāpēc tavas acis tā spulgo,
Why does your heart carry you away? and what do your eyes wink at,
13 Ka tavas dusmas ceļas pret Dievu un izverd tādu valodu no tavas mutes?!
That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
14 Kas ir cilvēks, ka tas būtu šķīsts, un ka būtu taisns, kas no sievas dzimis?
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 Redzi, Saviem svētiem Viņš neuztic un debesis nav šķīstas priekš Viņa acīm.
Behold, he puts no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16 Ne nu vēl tas negantais un samaitātais cilvēks, kas netaisnību dzer kā ūdeni.
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?
17 Es tev stāstīšu, klausies mani, un es tev teikšu, ko esmu redzējis,
I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18 Ko gudrie stāstījuši no saviem tēviem un nav slēpuši, -
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19 Tiem vien zeme bija dota, un svešinieks viņu starpā nebija nācis, -
To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20 Bezdievīgais mokās visu mūžu, un briesmīgais, cik tam gadi nolikti.
The wicked man travails with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 Viņa ausīs skan briesmas, pašā mierā viņam uzbrūk postītājs.
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come on him.
22 Viņš neuzticās iznākt no tumsības; jo zobens uz viņu gaida.
He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23 Viņš skraida šurp un turp pēc maizes, kur varētu dabūt; viņš zin tumsības dienu sev tuvu klātu.
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 Bēdas un izbailes viņu biedē, viņu pārvar kā ķēniņš, uz kaušanos gatavs.
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25 Jo viņš izstiepa savu roku pret Dievu un cēlās pret to Visuvareno.
For he stretches out his hand against God, and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
26 Viņš skrēja pret Viņu ar pašu galvu, ar savu priekšturamo bruņu biezām pumpām.
He runs on him, even on his neck, on the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27 Viņš savu vaigu tauki izbaroja un kopa resnu vēderu.
Because he covers his face with his fatness, and makes bulges of fat on his flanks.
28 Viņš dzīvoja izpostītās pilsētās un namos, kur nebija jādzīvo, kuriem nolemts būt par akmeņu kopām.
And he dwells in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabits, which are ready to become heaps.
29 (Tāpēc) viņš nepaliks bagāts, un viņa manta nepastāvēs, un viņa laime neizplētīsies virs zemes.
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof on the earth.
30 Viņš no tumsības ārā neiznāks, liesma izkaltēs viņa zarus, caur Dieva mutes dvašu viņš aizies.
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
31 Lai viņš nepaļaujas uz nelietību, ar to viņš pieviļas; jo nelietība būs viņa alga.
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
32 Tā alga nāks priekšlaiku, un viņa zars nezaļos.
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
33 Viņš zaudēs kā vīna koks savus ķekarus un nometīs kā eļļas koks savus ziedus.
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34 Jo bezdievīgo saime paliks neauglīga, un uguns norīs dāvanu ņēmēju dzīvokļus.
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35 Tie ir grūti ar netaisnību un dzemdē postu, un savām sirds domām tie pieviļas.
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepares deceit.
