< Ījaba 34 >
1 Un Elihus atbildēja un sacīja:
And Elius continued, and said,
2 Klausāties, gudrie, manu valodu, un prātīgie, atgriežat ausis pie manis;
Hear me, you wise men; listen, you that have knowledge.
3 Jo auss pārbauda vārdus, tā kā mute bauda barību.
For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat.
4 Lai pārspriežam savā starpā, lai kopā atzīstam, kas ir labi.
Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know amount ourselves what is right.
5 Jo Ījabs saka: es esmu taisns, bet Dievs ir atņēmis manu tiesu.
For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment.
6 Lai gan man taisnība, mani tura par melkuli, manas mokas ir nedziedinājamas, lai gan neesmu noziedzies.
And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness [of mine].
7 Kur ir gan cilvēks, kā Ījabs, kas zaimošanu dzer kā ūdeni,
What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water?
8 Un draudzējās ar ļaundarītājiem un staigā ar bezdievīgiem?
[saying], I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly.
9 Jo viņš saka: cilvēkam nekā nepalīdz, ka tas mīļo Dievu.
For you should not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas [there is] a visitation on him from the Lord.
10 Tādēļ, gudrie vīri, klausāties mani. Nevar būt, ka Dievs ir ļauns un tas Visuvarenais netaisns.
Therefore hear me, you that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the almighty.
11 Jo Viņš cilvēkam maksā pēc viņa darba, un ikkatram liek klāties pēc viņa gājuma.
Yes, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him.
12 Patiesi, Dievs nedara ļauna, un tas Visuvarenais nepārgroza tiesu!
And think you that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment?
13 Kam pasaule ir pavēlēta, ja ne Viņam, un kas ir radījis visu zemi?
And who is he that made [the whole world] under heaven, and all things therein?
14 Ja Viņš Savu sirdi grieztu uz Sevi pašu vien, un Savu garu un Savu dvašu ņemtu pie Sevis:
For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself;
15 Tad visa miesa kopā mirtu, un cilvēks taptu atkal par pīšļiem.
all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed.
16 Ja nu tev ir saprašana, klausi to, ņem vērā manas valodas balsi.
Take heed lest he rebuke [you]: hear this, listen to the voice of words.
17 Vai jel, kas taisnību ienīst, varēs vadīt? Kā tad tev bija tiesāt to Vistaisnāko?
Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just.
18 Viņu, kas uz ķēniņu var sacīt: tu netikli, un uz valdnieku: tu blēdi;
[He is] ungodly that says to a king, You are a transgressor, [that says] to princes, O most ungodly one.
19 Kas neuzlūko valdnieku vaigu un neieredz bagātus vairāk nekā nabagus, jo tie visi ir Viņa roku darbs.
[Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honorable man, neither knows how to give honor to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.
20 Acumirklī tie nomirst, un nakts vidū tautas top iztrūcinātas un iet bojā, un varenie top aizrauti un ne caur cilvēka roku.
But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside [from their right].
21 Jo Viņa acis skatās uz cilvēka ceļiem, un Viņš redz visus viņa soļus.
For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him.
22 Tumsas nav nedz nāves ēnas, kur ļaundarītāji varētu slēpties.
Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.
23 Viņam cilvēks ilgi nav jāmeklē, ka lai nāk uz tiesu Dieva priekšā.
For he will not lay upon a man more [than right].
24 Viņš satriec varenos bez izmeklēšanas un ieceļ citus viņu vietā.
For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number.
25 Tāpēc ka Viņš zina viņu darbus, Viņš tos apgāž naktī, ka tie top satriekti.
Who discovers their works, and will bring night about [upon them], and they shall be brought low.
26 Viņš tos šausta kā bezdievīgus, tādā vietā, kur visi redz.
And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.
27 Tāpēc ka tie no Viņa atkāpušies un nav apdomājuši visus Viņa ceļus.
Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,
28 Ka nabaga brēkšanai bija jānāk pie Viņa, un bēdīgā kliegšanu Viņš paklausīja.
so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.
29 Kad Viņš dod mieru, kas tad pazudinās? Kad Viņš Savu vaigu apslēpj, kas Viņu skatīs? Tā tas ir ar tautām, tā ar ikvienu cilvēku,
And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man also:
30 Lai nelieša cilvēks nevalda un tautai nav par valgiem.
causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.
31 Jo uz Dievu jāsaka: man bija jācieš, es vairs negrēkošu.
For [there is] one that says to the Mighty One, I have received [blessings]; I will not take a pledge:
32 Ko es neredzu, to māci tu man; ja esmu darījis netaisnību, tad to vairs nedarīšu.
I will see apart from myself: do you show me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do [so] any more.
33 Vai Dievs lai atlīdzina pēc tava prāta? Jo tu neesi mierā! tad spriedi tu, ne es! Un ko tu taču māki sacīt!
Will he take vengeance for it on you, whereas you will put [it] far [from you]? for you shall choose, and not I; and what you know, speak you.
34 Prātīgi ļaudis man sacīs, un ikviens gudrs vīrs, kas uz mani klausījies:
Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word.
35 Ījabs runājis neprazdams, un viņa vārdi nav bijuši gudri.
But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge.
36 Kaut Ījabs taptu pārbaudīts līdz galam, ka viņš runā, kā bezdievīgi ļaudis.
Howbeit do you learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish:
37 Jo viņš krauj grēku uz grēku, viņš mūsu priekšā zaimo un runā daudz pret to stipro Dievu. -
that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if [we] speak many words before the Lord.
