Job 35
1 Then Elihu also said this:
S megszólalt Elíhú és mondta:
2 “[Job, ] do you think that what you said is right/correct? You say, ‘God knows that I am innocent,’
Ezt gondolod-e jognak, erről mondod-e: igazságom Isten előtt,
3 and you say [to God], ‘What good have I received for not sinning? What benefit have I received from that?’ [DOU, RHQ]
hogy azt mondod, mi hasznod van, mit érek el többet, mint vétkemmel?
4 [Well, ] I will answer you, and I will answer your three friends, too.
Én válaszolok neked szavakkal s barátaidnak veled együtt.
5 “[Job], look up at the sky; look at the clouds that are high above you and realize [that God is far above everything].
Tekints az égre s láss, s nézd a fellegeket, melyek magasabbak nálad!
6 If you have sinned, that does not [RHQ] harm God at all. If many times you do things that are wrong, that certainly does not [RHQ] affect him [DOU].
Ha vétkeztél, mit mivelsz ellene, s ha sok a bűntetted, mit teszel neki;
7 And if you are righteous, does that help God? No, he is not benefited by anything that you do [DOU].
ha igazad van, mit adsz neki, vagy mit fogad el kezedből?
8 It is other people who suffer because of the wicked things that you do, but by doing good things for people, you help them.
A magadféle férfit illeti gonoszságod, és ember fiát igazságod.
9 “People cry out because of the many things that people do to others to (oppress them/treat them cruelly); they call for help because of the things that powerful people do [MTY] to them.
A sok zsarolás miatt kiáltanak, panaszkodnak sokaknak a karja miatt;
10 But (no one/none of them) calls out [to God], saying ‘Why does God, my creator, [not help me]? He [should] enable me to sing [joyful] songs, [instead of very sad songs, ] during the night.
de nem mondják, hol van Isten, teremtőm, a ki adja, hogy énekre keljek éjjel,
11 He [should be able to] teach us more than all the wild animals do; he [should] enable us to become wiser than [all] the birds are!’
a ki oktat minket a föld barmai által, s az ég madarai által bölcsekké tesz.
12 People cry out [for help], but God does not answer them, because those who cry out are proud and evil people.
Akkor kiáltanak, de nem felel, a rosszak gőgje miatt.
13 It is useless for them to cry out, because God, the Almighty One, does not pay any attention to what they say.
Bizony, hamisságot nem hall az Isten, s a Mindenható nem látja meg;
14 So, when you complain that you cannot see God, and you tell him that you are waiting for him [to decide whether or not you should be punished for what you have done], God will not listen to you, either!
hát még midőn mondod, hogy nem látod Őt, előtte van az ügy és to vársz reá.
15 Furthermore, [you say that] because he does not pay attention when people commit sins, he does not become angry and punish them.
És most azzal, hogy: semmiért büntetett haragja és nem nagyon tudott bűntettről –
16 You say things that are useless; you say a lot of things without knowing [what you are talking about].”
Jób hiábavalóságra nyitja meg a száját, tudás nélkül szaporít szavakat.
