Ījaba 35
1 Un Elihus vēl atbildēja un sacīja:
Moreover Elihu answered,
2 Vai tev šķiet pareizi esam, ka tu saki: mana taisnība iet pāri par Dieva taisnību,
“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’
3 Ka tu saki: kas man no tās atlec, ko es ar to vairāk panākšu nekā ar saviem grēkiem?
that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
4 Es tev vārdu atbildēšu un taviem draugiem pie tevis:
I will answer you, and your companions with you.
5 Skaties pret debesi un redzi, uzlūko padebešus, kas ir augsti pāri pār tevi.
Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
6 Ja tu grēko, ko tu Viņam vari darīt? Un lai tavu pārkāpumu daudz, ko tu Viņam padarīsi?
If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
7 Ja tu esi taisns, kas Viņam no tā tiek, jeb ko Viņš dabū no tavas rokas?
If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
8 Tev cilvēkam tava bezdievība par postu, un tev cilvēka bērnam tava taisnība nāk par labu.
Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
9 Par varas darbu pulku tie brēc, tie kliedz lielo kungu elkoņa dēļ.
“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 Bet neviens nesaka: kur ir Dievs, mans Radītājs, kas ir naktī dod slavas dziesmas,
But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
11 Kas mūs darījis jo izmācītus, nekā lopus virs zemes, un gudrākus pār putniem apakš debess.
who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
12 Tie tur brēc, bet Viņš neatbild ļauno pārgalvības dēļ.
There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Tiešām, Dievs netaisnību nepaklausa un tas Visuvarenais to neuzlūko.
Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Jebšu tu saki, ka tu Viņu neredzēsi, tā tiesas lieta ir Viņa priekšā, gaidi tik uz Viņu.
How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
15 Bet nu, ka Viņa dusmība vēl nepiemeklē, vai Viņš tādēļ vērā neliek, ka pārkāpumu ir tik daudz?
But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,
16 Un tomēr Ījabs tukšiem vārdiem atvēris savu muti un daudz runājis bez saprašanas.
therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
