I understand that the Aionian Bible republishes public domain and Creative Commons Bible texts and that volunteers may be needed to present the original text accurately. I also understand that apocryphal text is removed and most variant verse numbering is mapped to the English standard. I have entered my corrections under the verse(s) below. Proposed corrections to the Translation for Translators, Job Chapter 31 https://www.AionianBible.org/Bibles/English---Trans-Trans/Job/31 1) “I solemnly promised myself that I would not look at a young woman with a desire [to have sex with her]. 2) [If I did not do what I promised, ] what would God who is in heaven [MTY] do to me [RHQ]? Almighty [God] would certainly not [RHQ] give me any reward! 3) [Previously I thought that] surely [RHQ] it was unrighteous people who would experience calamities, and that it was those who do what is wrong who would experience disasters. 4) God certainly sees [RHQ] everything that I do, [so why is he causing me to suffer?] [It is as though] he counts every step that I take. 5) [“I solemnly declare that] I have never acted wickedly and have never tried to deceive people. 6) I request only that God judge me fairly [MET], and if he does that, he will know that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). 7) If [it were true that] I have stopped living righteously, or [that] I [SYN] have desired the things that I look at [MTY], or [that] I am guilty of any other sin, 8) then I hope/wish that when I plant [seeds], someone else will [harvest the crops and] eat [them] and that others will uproot the [fruit trees] that I planted. 9) “If [it were true that] I [SYN] have been attracted by some other man’s wife, or [that] I have hidden myself and waited outside [the] door [to] her [house], 10) I hope/desire that my wife will become the servant/slave of another man and have sex [EUP] with him. 11) [For me to do] that would be a terrible sin, and the judges would decide that I should be punished. 12) My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned) 13) “And, if [it were true that] I have ever refused to listen to one of my male or female servants when they complained to me about something, 14) God would arise [and declare that he would punish me]; and when he would do that, what would I do? If he would ask me [about what I have done], (what would I answer?/I would not be able to answer.) [RHQ] 15) God, who created me, certainly also created my servants [RHQ]; surely he is the one who formed them and me in our mothers’ wombs [RHQ]; [so we all should behave toward each other equally]. 16) “I have guided orphans from the time that they were born; I have taken care of them since they were young. So, if [it were true that] I ate all my food myself and did not share some of it with orphans, or [that] I refused to give poor people the things that they wanted, or [that] I caused widows to live (in despair/without hope [that they would receive any help from anyone]), 17) 18) 19) or [that] I had seen people die [from cold] because they had no clothes, or [that] I had seen poor people who did not have clothes [to keep them warm], 20) and they were not able to become warm [from clothes made] from the wool of my sheep with the result that they thanked me for [giving them clothes, ] 21) or if [it were true that] I threatened to strike any orphan because I knew that the elders at the city gates would (decide in my favor); 22) [if those things were true about me], I hope/desire that my shoulder blade would be torn out and my arm be torn from my shoulder. 23) I always feared that God would cause me to experience a great disaster [if I did any of those evil things], and I would not have been able to endure the powerful [things that he would do to punish me]. 24) “If [it were true that] I trusted in my gold/money [DOU], 25) or that I rejoiced because I had acquired many things and had become very rich, 26) or that I looked at the sun when it was shining or looked at the beautiful moon 27) and I [SYN] had been tempted [to worship them] by kissing my hand to revere them, 28) those things also would be sins for which the judges would say that I must be punished, because I would have been rejecting God [by doing those things]. 29) “[It is not true that] I [SYN] sinned by requesting God to curse people who hated me with the result that God would cause them to die. It is also not true that I was glad when they were ruined or that I rejoiced when they experienced disasters [DOU]. 30) 31) [It is also not true that] I never welcomed travelers to stay in my tent or that I did not open my doors to them, but [forced them to] sleep in the streets. [All] the men who work for me certainly know that [RHQ]! 32) 33) Some people try to hide their sins, but I have never done that; 34) and I never remained silent and refused to go outside of my home because I was very (afraid of/worried about) what people would say [about me], and that they would hate/scorn me. 35) “I wish/desire that there was someone who would hear what I am saying! I solemnly declare [that all that I have said is true]. I wish that those who oppose me would write down [on a scroll] the evil things that they say that I did. 36) [If they did that, ] I would wear that scroll on my shoulder, or wear it on top of my head, [in order that everyone could see it]. 37) I would tell [God] everything that I have done, and I would approach him [confidently], like a ruler would. 38) If [it were true that] I have stolen land, with the result that [it was as though] its furrows cried out to accuse me of stealing; 39) or [if it were true that] I have eaten the crops that grew in someone else’s fields without paying [for those crops], with the result that those farmers who grew those crops died [from hunger]; 40) then I wish/desire that thorns would grow [in my fields] instead of wheat. May bad weeds grow instead of barley!” That is the end of what Job said [to his three friends]. Additional comments?
