Йов 31

1 Фэкусем ун легэмынт ку окий мей, ши ну мь-аш фи оприт привириле асупра уней фечоаре.

“I solemnly promised myself that I would not look at a young woman with a desire [to have sex with her].

2 Дар че соартэ мь-а пэстрат Думнезеу де сус? Че моштенире мь-а тримис Чел Атотпутерник дин черурь?

[If I did not do what I promised, ] what would God who is in heaven [MTY] do to me [RHQ]? Almighty [God] would certainly not [RHQ] give me any reward!

3 Пеиря ну-й оаре пентру чел рэу ши ненорочиря пентру чей че фак фэрэделеӂе?

[Previously I thought that] surely [RHQ] it was unrighteous people who would experience calamities, and that it was those who do what is wrong who would experience disasters.

4 Н-а куноскут Думнезеу кэиле меле? Ну мь-а нумэрат Ел тоць паший мей?

God certainly sees [RHQ] everything that I do, [so why is he causing me to suffer?] [It is as though] he counts every step that I take.

5 Дакэ ам умблат ку минчуна, дакэ мь-а алергат пичорул дупэ ыншелэчуне,

[“I solemnly declare that] I have never acted wickedly and have never tried to deceive people.

6 сэ мэ кынтэряскэ Думнезеу ын кумпэна челор фэрэ приханэ, ши-мь ва ведя неприхэниря!

I request only that God judge me fairly [MET], and if he does that, he will know that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong).

7 Де ми с-а абэтут пасул де пе каля чя дряптэ, де мь-а урмат инима окий, де с-а липит врео ынтинэчуне де мыниле меле,

If [it were true that] I have stopped living righteously, or [that] I [SYN] have desired the things that I look at [MTY], or [that] I am guilty of any other sin,

8 атунч еу сэ семэн, ши алтул сэ сечере ши одраслеле меле сэ фие дезрэдэчинате!

then I hope/wish that when I plant [seeds], someone else will [harvest the crops and] eat [them] and that others will uproot the [fruit trees] that I planted.

9 Дакэ мь-а фост амэӂитэ инима де врео фемее, дакэ ам пындит ла уша апроапелуй меу,

“If [it were true that] I [SYN] have been attracted by some other man’s wife, or [that] I have hidden myself and waited outside [the] door [to] her [house],

10 атунч невастэ-мя сэ мачине пентру алтул ши с-о нечинстяскэ алций!

I hope/desire that my wife will become the servant/slave of another man and have sex [EUP] with him.

11 Кэч ачаста ар фи фост о нелеӂюире, о фэрэделеӂе вредникэ сэ фие педепситэ де жудекэторь,

[For me to do] that would be a terrible sin, and the judges would decide that I should be punished.

12 ун фок каре мистуе пынэ ла нимичире ши каре мь-ар фи прэпэдит тоатэ богэция.

My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned)

13 Де аш фи несокотит дрептул слуӂий сау служничей меле кынд се черта ку мине,

“And, if [it were true that] I have ever refused to listen to one of my male or female servants when they complained to me about something,

14 че аш путя сэ фак кынд Се ридикэ Думнезеу? Че аш путя рэспунде кынд педепсеште Ел?

God would arise [and declare that he would punish me]; and when he would do that, what would I do? If he would ask me [about what I have done], (what would I answer?/I would not be able to answer.) [RHQ]

15 Чел че м-а фэкут пе мине ын пынтечеле мамей меле ну л-а фэкут ши пе ел? Оаре ну не-а ынтокмит ачелашь Думнезеу ын пынтечеле мамей?

God, who created me, certainly also created my servants [RHQ]; surely he is the one who formed them and me in our mothers’ wombs [RHQ]; [so we all should behave toward each other equally].

16 Дакэ н-ам дат сэрачилор че-мь черяу, дакэ ам фэкут сэ се топяскэ де плынс окий вэдувей,

“I have guided orphans from the time that they were born; I have taken care of them since they were young. So, if [it were true that] I ate all my food myself and did not share some of it with orphans, or [that] I refused to give poor people the things that they wanted, or [that] I caused widows to live (in despair/without hope [that they would receive any help from anyone]),

17 дакэ мь-ам мынкат сингур пыня, фэрэ ка орфанул сэ фи авут ши ел партя луй дин еа,

18 еу, каре дин тинереце л-ам крескут ка ун татэ, еу, каре де ла наштере ам сприжинит пе вэдувэ;

19 дакэ ам вэзут пе чел ненорочит дукынд липсэ де хайне, пе чел липсит неавынд ынвелитоаре,

or [that] I had seen people die [from cold] because they had no clothes, or [that] I had seen poor people who did not have clothes [to keep them warm],

20 фэрэ ка инима луй сэ мэ фи бинекувынтат, фэрэ сэ фи фост ынкэлзит де лына меилор мей;

and they were not able to become warm [from clothes made] from the wool of my sheep with the result that they thanked me for [giving them clothes, ]

21 дакэ ам ридикат мына ымпотрива орфанулуй, пентру кэ мэ симцям сприжинит де жудекэторь,

or if [it were true that] I threatened to strike any orphan because I knew that the elders at the city gates would (decide in my favor);

22 атунч сэ ми се дезлипяскэ умэрул де ла ынкеетурэ, сэ-мь кадэ брацул ши сэ се сфэрыме!

[if those things were true about me], I hope/desire that my shoulder blade would be torn out and my arm be torn from my shoulder.

23 Кэч мэ темям де педяпса луй Думнезеу ши ну путям лукра астфел дин причина мэрецией Луй.

I always feared that God would cause me to experience a great disaster [if I did any of those evil things], and I would not have been able to endure the powerful [things that he would do to punish me].

24 Дакэ мь-ам пус ынкредеря ын аур, дакэ ам зис аурулуй: ‘Ту ешть нэдеждя мя’,

“If [it were true that] I trusted in my gold/money [DOU],

25 дакэ м-ам ынгымфат де мэримя аверилор меле, де мулцимя богэциилор пе каре ле добындисем,

or that I rejoiced because I had acquired many things and had become very rich,

26 дакэ ам привит соареле кынд стрэлучя, луна кынд ынаинта мэряцэ

or that I looked at the sun when it was shining or looked at the beautiful moon

27 ши дакэ ми с-а лэсат амэӂитэ инима ын тайнэ, дакэ ле-ам арункат сэрутэрь, дукынду-мь мына ла гурэ –

and I [SYN] had been tempted [to worship them] by kissing my hand to revere them,

28 ши ачаста есте тот о фэрэделеӂе каре требуе педепситэ де жудекэторь, кэч м-аш фи лепэдат де Думнезеул чел де сус –,

those things also would be sins for which the judges would say that I must be punished, because I would have been rejecting God [by doing those things].

29 дакэ м-ам букурат де ненорочиря врэжмашулуй меу, дакэ ам сэрит де букурие кынд л-а атинс ненорочиря,

“[It is not true that] I [SYN] sinned by requesting God to curse people who hated me with the result that God would cause them to die. It is also not true that I was glad when they were ruined or that I rejoiced when they experienced disasters [DOU].

30 еу, каре н-ам дат вое лимбий меле сэ пэкэтуяскэ, сэ-й чарэ моартя ку блестем,

31 дакэ ну зичяу оамений дин кортул меу: ‘Унде есте чел че ну с-а сэтурат дин карня луй?’,

[It is also not true that] I never welcomed travelers to stay in my tent or that I did not open my doors to them, but [forced them to] sleep in the streets. [All] the men who work for me certainly know that [RHQ]!

32 дакэ петречя стрэинул ноаптя афарэ, дакэ ну мь-аш фи дескис уша сэ интре кэлэторул,

33 дакэ мь-ам аскунс фэрэделеӂиле, ка оамений, ши мь-ам ынкис нелеӂюириле ын сын,

Some people try to hide their sins, but I have never done that;

34 пентру кэ мэ темям де мулциме, пентру кэ мэ темям де диспрецул фамилиилор, цинынду-мэ деопарте ши некутезынд сэ-мь трек прагул…

and I never remained silent and refused to go outside of my home because I was very (afraid of/worried about) what people would say [about me], and that they would hate/scorn me.

35 О, де аш гэси пе чинева сэ м-аскулте! Ятэ апэраря мя, искэлитэ де мине: сэ-мь рэспундэ Чел Атотпутерник! Чине-мь ва да плынӂеря искэлитэ де потривникул меу?

“I wish/desire that there was someone who would hear what I am saying! I solemnly declare [that all that I have said is true]. I wish that those who oppose me would write down [on a scroll] the evil things that they say that I did.

36 Ка сэ-й порт скрисоаря пе умэр, с-о лег де фрунтя мя ка о кунунэ;

[If they did that, ] I would wear that scroll on my shoulder, or wear it on top of my head, [in order that everyone could see it].

37 сэ-й дау сокотялэ де тоць паший мей, сэ мэ апропий де ел ка ун домн.

I would tell [God] everything that I have done, and I would approach him [confidently], like a ruler would.

38 Дакэ пэмынтул меу стригэ ымпотрива мя ши дакэ бразделе луй варсэ лакримь;

If [it were true that] I have stolen land, with the result that [it was as though] its furrows cried out to accuse me of stealing;

39 дакэ й-ам мынкат родул фэрэ сэ-л фи плэтит ши дакэ ам ынтристат суфлетул векилор луй стэпынь,

or [if it were true that] I have eaten the crops that grew in someone else’s fields without paying [for those crops], with the result that those farmers who grew those crops died [from hunger];

40 атунч сэ кряскэ спинь дин ел ын лок де грыу ши негинэ ын лок де орз!” Сфыршитул кувинтелор луй Йов.

then I wish/desire that thorns would grow [in my fields] instead of wheat. May bad weeds grow instead of barley!” That is the end of what Job said [to his three friends].
