Job 35

1 After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:

Un Elihus vēl atbildēja un sacīja:

2 Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”

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

3 For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”

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

4 And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.

Es tev vārdu atbildēšu un taviem draugiem pie tevis:

5 Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.

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

6 If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?

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

7 Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?

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

8 Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.

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

9 Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.

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

10 Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,

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

11 who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”

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

12 There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.

Tie tur brēc, bet Viņš neatbild ļauno pārgalvības dēļ.

13 Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.

Tiešām, Dievs netaisnību nepaklausa un tas Visuvarenais to neuzlūko.

14 And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.

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

15 For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.

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

16 Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.

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