Job 16
1 Then Job answered, and said,
Tad Ījabs atbildēja un sacīja:
2 I have heard many such things. Miserable comforters are ye all.
Tādas lietas nu papilnam esmu dzirdējis, jūs visi esat nelāga iepriecinātāji.
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes thee that thou answer?
Vai tie uzpūstie vārdi nu būs galā, vai kas tevi dzen tā atbildēt?
4 I also could speak as ye do, if your soul were in my soul's stead. I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.
Es gan tāpat runātu kā jūs, kad jūsu dvēsele būtu manā vietā, ar vārdiem es pret jums turētos un kratītu savu galvu pār jums.
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
Es jūs stiprinātu ar savu muti, jūs iepriecinātu ar savām lūpām.
6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged, and though I forbear, what am I eased?
Kad es runāju, tad manas sāpes nerimst, un kad es klusu ciešu, vai tad tās nostājās?
7 But now he has made me weary. Thou have made desolate all my company.
Tiešām, nu Viņš mani nokausējis; Tu esi izklīdinājis visu manu saimi,
8 And thou have laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me. And my leanness rises up against me; it testifies to my face.
Un mani darījis grumbainu, - tas ir par liecību, un mana liecība cēlās pret mani un mani apsūdzēja pašā vaigā.
9 He has torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me. He has gnashed upon me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes upon me.
Viņa bardzība mani saplosīja un vajāja, Viņš sakož Savus zobus par mani, mans pretinieks met briesmīgas acis uz mani.
10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth. They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
Tie atplēš muti pret mani, un lādot tie mani sit vaigā, tie sapulcējās kopā pret mani.
11 God delivers me to the perverse, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
Dievs mani nodevis neliešiem un man licis nākt bezdievīgu rokā.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yea, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his mark.
Es biju mierā, bet Viņš mani sadauzījis, Viņš mani grābis pie kakla un mani satriecis un mani licis Sev par mērķi.
13 His archers encompass me round about. He splits my reins apart, and does not spare. He pours out my gall upon the ground.
Viņa bultas ap mani skraida, Viņš sašķēlis manas īkstis un nav taupījis, Viņš manu žulti izlējis zemē.
14 He breaks me with breach upon breach. He runs upon me like a giant.
Plosīdams Viņš mani plosot plosījis, Viņš kā pats varenais pret mani lauzies.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust.
Es maisu esmu šuvis ap savu ādu un savu ragu licis pīšļos,
16 My face is red with weeping, and the shadow of death is on my eyelids,
Mans vaigs ir nosarcis no raudām, un pār maniem acu vākiem ir nāves ēna,
17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
Jebšu netaisnība nav manā rokā, un mana lūgšana ir šķīsta.
18 O earth, do not cover thou my blood, and let my cry have no resting place.
Zeme, neapklāj manas asinis, un mana saukšana lai nemitās!
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he who vouches for me is on high.
Jau tagad, redzi, mans liecinieks ir debesīs, un mans liecības devējs debess augstībā.
20 My friends scoff at me. My eye pours out tears to God
Mani draugi ir mani mēdītāji, bet no manas acs asaras pil uz Dievu,
21 that he would maintain the right of a man with God, and of a son of man with his neighbor!
Kaut Viņš tiesu nestu starp vīru un Dievu un starp cilvēka bērnu un viņa draugu!
22 For when a few years are come, I shall go the way where I shall not return.
Jo tie noliktie gadi ies galā, un es aiziešu ceļu, kur atpakaļ negriezīšos.
