Job 35

1 Moreover Elihu answered,

Un Elihus vēl atbildēja un sacīja:

2 “Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’

Vai tev šķiet pareizi esam, ka tu saki: mana taisnība iet pāri par Dieva taisnību,

3 that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

Ka tu saki: kas man no tās atlec, ko es ar to vairāk panākšu nekā ar saviem grēkiem?

4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.

Es tev vārdu atbildēšu un taviem draugiem pie tevis:

5 Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.

Skaties pret debesi un redzi, uzlūko padebešus, kas ir augsti pāri pār tevi.

6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?

Ja tu grēko, ko tu Viņam vari darīt? Un lai tavu pārkāpumu daudz, ko tu Viņam padarīsi?

7 If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?

Ja tu esi taisns, kas Viņam no tā tiek, jeb ko Viņš dabū no tavas rokas?

8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.

Tev cilvēkam tava bezdievība par postu, un tev cilvēka bērnam tava taisnība nāk par labu.

9 “By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

Par varas darbu pulku tie brēc, tie kliedz lielo kungu elkoņa dēļ.

10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

Bet neviens nesaka: kur ir Dievs, mans Radītājs, kas ir naktī dod slavas dziesmas,

11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’

Kas mūs darījis jo izmācītus, nekā lopus virs zemes, un gudrākus pār putniem apakš debess.

12 There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.

Tie tur brēc, bet Viņš neatbild ļauno pārgalvības dēļ.

13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Tiešām, Dievs netaisnību nepaklausa un tas Visuvarenais to neuzlūko.

14 How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

Jebšu tu saki, ka tu Viņu neredzēsi, tā tiesas lieta ir Viņa priekšā, gaidi tik uz Viņu.

15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,

Bet nu, ka Viņa dusmība vēl nepiemeklē, vai Viņš tādēļ vērā neliek, ka pārkāpumu ir tik daudz?

16 therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

Un tomēr Ījabs tukšiem vārdiem atvēris savu muti un daudz runājis bez saprašanas.
