Книга Иова 20
1 Отвещав же Софар Минейский, рече:
Then Zophar replied,
2 не тако мнех сия тебе рещи противу, и не разумеете паче нежели и аз.
“I am very perturbed about what you have said, so I want to reply very quickly.
3 Наказание срамления моего услышу, и дух от разума отвещавает ми.
By saying these things you have insulted me, but I know how (OR, because I understand very much) I can reply to you.
4 Еда сих не уразумел еси от века, отнележе положен человек бысть на земли?
“Do you not know that from long ago, ever since people were first put on the earth,
5 Веселие бо нечестивых падение страшно, обрадование же беззаконных пагуба.
wicked people [like you] do not continue to rejoice for a long time, ungodly people are happy only for a (moment/very short time) [HYP]?
6 Аще взыдут на небо дары его, жертва же его облаков коснется:
[Even] though their reputation/pride reaches up to the sky and their fame goes up as high as the clouds,
7 егда бо мнится уже утвержден быти, тогда в конец погибнет. Видевшии же его рекут: где есть?
they will disappear forever, like their own dung, and those who knew them will ask, ‘(Where did they go/What happened to them)?’
8 Якоже сон отлетевый не обрящется, отлете же аки мечтание нощное.
They will be forgotten like [SIM] a dream is, and they will exist no more. They will vanish, like visions [that people see] during the night.
9 Око призре, и не приложит, и ктому не познает его место его.
Those who saw those people previously will never see them again; even their families [MTY] will not see them any more.
10 Сынов его да погубят меншии, и руце его возжгут болезни.
Their children will be forced to return the valuable things that those children stole from poor people [DOU].
11 Кости его наполнишася грехов юности его и с ним на персти уснут.
Previously their bodies were young and strong, but they will die and [their bodies will] be buried in the ground.
12 Аще усладится во устех его злоба, скрыет ю под языком своим:
“Doing wicked things was like having sweet food in their mouths, and they wanted to continue to taste it.
13 не пощадит ея, и не оставит ея, и соберет ю посреде гортани своего,
And they did not want to stop doing those things,
14 и не возможет помощи себе: желчь аспидов во чреве его.
[but some day] the evil things that they enjoyed doing will become like food [that they swallow] [and which becomes] as bitter as snake venom.
15 Богатство неправедно собираемо изблюется, из храмины его извлечет его Ангел.
Wicked people will not continue to keep the money they have accumulated, like people do not keep the food that they vomit. God takes their wealth from them.
16 Ярость же змиеву да ссет, да убиет же его язык змиин.
What wicked people do is [like] [MET] swallowing snake venom; it will kill them like [MET] the bite of a poisonous snake kills people.
17 Да не узрит отдоения скотов, ниже прибытка меда и масла кравия.
They will not remain alive to see abundant blessings [IDM] [from God], milk and olive oil and honey, that are [so abundant they are] like [MET] a stream that flows by.
18 Вотще и всуе трудися, богатство, от негоже не вкусит, якоже клоки не сожваемы и не поглощаемы.
They will be forced to give back the things that they stole from the poor; they will not be able to continue to enjoy those things. They will not remain happy because of what they got from their businesses,
19 Многих бо немощных домы сокруши, жилище же разграби и не постави.
because they oppressed poor people and refused to help them, and they took other people’s houses [by cheating them].
20 Несть спасения имению его, в вожделении своем не спасется.
“They were always greedy and never satisfied. They just keep dreaming about owning more and more things.
21 Несть останка брашну его, сего ради не процветут ему благая.
When they finished eating their food, there was never anything left over [because they had greedily eaten it all]; but now their prosperity will end.
22 Егда же мнит уже исполнь быти, оскорбится, всяка же беда нань приидет.
When they are extremely prosperous/wealthy, they will suddenly experience a lot of trouble. (Misery will strike them and crush them [PRS]/They will suffer very greatly).
23 Аще како либо исполнит чрево свое, напустит нань ярость гнева, одождит на него болезни:
When the wicked people are filling their stomachs, God will show that he is very angry with them and punish them; the punishment [that he gives them] will be like [MET] rain falling on them.
24 и не спасется от руки железа, да устрелит его лук медян,
They will try to escape from [being killed by] iron weapons, but arrows with bronze points will pierce them.
25 и да пройдет сквозе тело его стрела: звезды же в жилищих его: да приидут нань страси,
The arrows will [go completely through their bodies and] stick out of their backs; the shiny points of the arrows will have blood dripping from them, and those wicked people will be terrified.
26 и всяка тма на нем да пребудет: да пояст его огнь нераздеженый, да озлобит же пришлец дом его:
Their valuable possessions will all be destroyed; a fire that is not lit by humans, [but by God, ] will burn them up and also destroy the things that are left in their tents.
27 и да открыет небо беззакония его, и земля да востанет нань:
The [angels in] heaven [MTY] will reveal the sins that those wicked people have committed, and [people on] earth will stand up and testify against them.
28 да извлечет дом его пагуба до конца, день гнева да приидет нань.
When God punishes [MTY] [people], all the possessions in the wicked people’s houses will be carried away by a flood.
29 Сия часть человека нечестиваго от Господа и стяжание имений его от Надзирателя.
That is what will happen to wicked people [like you]; that is what God has decided will happen to them.”
