< Job 13 >

1 “Hey, I [SYN] have seen everything [that you have seen], and I have heard and understood all [that you have said].
There! all it has seen eye my it has heard ear my and it has understood it.
2 What you know, I also know; I do (not know less than/know as much as) you.
Like knowledge your I know also I not [am] falling I more than you.
3 But I would like to speak to Almighty God, [not to you]; I would like to argue with him [and prove that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong]).
But I to [the] Almighty I will speak and to argue to God I desire.
4 As for you, you do not allow people to know the truth about me, like someone covers [up a bad surface of a wall] with whitewash [MET]. You are all like doctors [MET] [that give people] useless [medicines].
And but you [are] smearers of falsehood [are] physicians of worthlessness all of you.
5 I wish/desire that you would be silent; that would be the wisest thing that you [could do].
Who? will he give certainly you will be silent! and it may become for you wisdom.
6 Listen to what I will say to you now; listen while I am saying [what is true about myself].
Listen to please argument my and [the] contentions of lips my pay attention to.
7 Are you telling lies about me to prove God [is just in causing me to suffer]? Are you saying what is deceitful in order to benefit him?
¿ for God will you speak unrighteousness and for him will you speak? deceit.
8 Are you trying to defend him? Are you trying to prove [as you would] in a court that he is innocent?
¿ Face his will you lift up! or? for God will you argue a case!
9 If he looks closely, will he find that everything that you have done is good? Or can you deceive him, like you deceive other people?
¿ [will it be] good If he will examine you or? as deceives a person will you deceive him.
10 If you secretly say/do things to cause God to act favorably toward you, he will surely rebuke you.
Certainly he will rebuke you if in secrecy faces you will lift up!
11 He will certainly [RHQ] cause you to be terrified by his power/greatness; you will become extremely afraid.
¿ Not majesty his will it terrify you and dread his will it fall? on you.
12 The things that you say [that you think are] wise are [as useless as] [MET] as ashes; what you say to defend your opinions is no better than [MET] clay [that quickly crumbles].
Memorials your [are] proverbs of ash[es] [are] defenses of clay defenses your.
13 “So, be quiet and allow me to speak, and then it will not matter what happens to me.
Be silent from me so let me speak I and let it pass on me whatever.
14 I am ready to endure anything; I am [even] willing to risk being executed [IDM, DOU] [for what I will say].
Concerning what? - will I take flesh my in teeth my and life my will I put? in palm my.
15 If God kills me, then I will not have anyone else whom I can confidently expect to help me, but I am going to defend my behavior in his presence [anyway].
There! he will kill me (to him *QK) I will hope nevertheless ways my to face his I will argue.
16 No wicked/godless person would dare to stand in the presence of God, [but because I say that I have not done things that are wrong], perhaps, if I can prove that to God, he will save me.”
Also that of me [will be] for deliverance for not before him a godless [person] he will come.
17 “God, listen very carefully to what I say [DOU].
Listen completely [to] speech my and declaration my [be] in ears your.
18 I am ready to prove that I am innocent, and I know that you also will declare that I am not guilty.
Here! please I have arranged a case I know that I I am in [the] right.
19 I certainly do not think [RHQ] that [you or anyone else] will say that what I say is not true; if anyone did that, I would (be silent/stop talking) and die.
Who? that will he conduct a case with me if now I will keep silent and I may expire.
20 “I am requesting you to do two things for me; if you do them, I will (not hide from you/come and stand in front of you) [LIT].
Only two [things] may not you do with me then from before you not I will hide myself.
21 [The first thing that I request is that you] stop punishing [IDM] me; and [the second thing that I request is that you] stop causing me to be very terrified.
Hand your from on me put far away and dread your may not it terrify me.
22 You speak [first], and then I will reply; or allow me to speak first, and [then] you reply.
And call and I I will answer or let me speak and respond to me.
23 What have I done that is wrong? What sins have I committed? Show me how I have disobeyed you.
How many? of me [are] iniquities and sins transgression my and sin my make known to me.
24 Why (do you refuse to be friendly with/have you abandoned) me [IDM]? Why do you (act toward me as though I am/consider me to be) your enemy?
Why? face your do you hide and do you consider? me to an enemy of you.
25 I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a leaf that is blown by the wind; why are you trying to cause me to be afraid [RHQ]? Why are you pursuing me? Am I [useless, nothing more than a bit of] dry chaff [RHQ]?
¿ A leaf driven about will you terrify and chaff dry will you pursue?
26 [It seems that] you are writing things to accuse me [of doing things that are wrong], even recalling bad things that I did when I was young.
For you write on me bitter things and you cause to inherit me [the] iniquities of youth my.
27 [It is as though] you have fastened my feet with chains [to prevent me from walking], and you watch me wherever I walk; [It is as though] you even look closely at my footprints [to see where I have gone].
And you put in the stock[s] - feet my so you may watch all paths my on [the] roots of feet my you make a mark.
28 [As a result], my body is decaying like [SIM] rotten wood, like a piece of cloth that is eaten by [larvae of] moths.”
And he like rottenness he wears out like a garment [which] it eats it a moth.
