Elihu wijst Job terecht
33 ‘Luister alstublieft naar wat ik te zeggen heb, Job.
2 Laat mij uitspreken, nu ik eenmaal het woord heb genomen.
3 Ik zal in alle oprechtheid de waarheid spreken.
4 De Geest van God heeft mij namelijk gemaakt en de adem van de Almachtige geeft mij leven.
5 Aarzel niet mij een antwoord te geven als u dat kunt.
6 Voor God ben ik volkomen gelijk aan u. Ik ben ook uit de aarde gevormd, net als u.
7 U hoeft niet bang voor mij te zijn. Ik ben er niet de man naar u in het nauw te drijven.
8 Ik heb u steeds weer horen zeggen:
9 “Ik ben rein, ik heb niet gezondigd, ik ben onschuldig.
10 En toch heeft God aanmerkingen op mij en beschouwt mij als zijn vijand.
11 Hij legt ketens om mijn enkels en kijkt scherp naar elke beweging die ik maak.”
12 Juist hierin hebt u ongelijk, dat u op deze wijze over God spreekt. Want God is veel groter dan de mens.
13 Waarom klaagt u bij God dat Hij niet antwoordt?
14 God spreekt wel degelijk—nu op de ene, dan op de andere wijze—hoewel de mens dat misschien niet opmerkt.
15 Bijvoorbeeld in dromen en in nachtelijke visioenen als een diepe slaap komt over mensen die op bed liggen.
16 Op zulke ogenblikken opent Hij hun oren en waarschuwt Hij hen
17,18 zodat zij van gedachten veranderen en ervoor zorgen niet trots te worden. Zij worden gewaarschuwd voor de straf op de zonde en leren goed op te letten dat zij niet op een of andere manier omkomen.
19 God kan een mens echter ook terechtwijzen door een ziekte, zodat hij met voortdurende pijn in zijn botten in bed moet blijven
20 en hij zijn eetlust verliest en zelfs voor het heerlijkste gerecht zijn neus optrekt.
21,22 Hij wordt broodmager en komt steeds dichter bij de afgrond en de machten van de dood.
23,24 Maar als een boodschapper uit de hemel aanwezig is die als voorspraak dient, een uit duizend die het als een vriend voor hem opneemt, dan zal Hij Zich over hem ontfermen en zeggen: “Maak hem vrij, hij zal niet sterven. Er is voor hem een losgeld betaald.”
25 Dan zal zijn lichaam weer zo gezond worden als dat van een kind, fris en jeugdig.
26 En als hij tot God bidt, zal God naar hem luisteren en hem antwoorden. Hij zal vreugde ervaren als hij het gezicht van de Here weer ziet en zijn rechtvaardigheid weer terugkrijgt.
27 Tegen zijn vrienden zal hij later zeggen: “Ik had gezondigd, maar God gaf mij niet de straf die ik had verdiend.
28 Hij liet mij niet sterven. Ik zal voortaan leven en veel meer van het licht genieten.”
29 Ja, God doet vaak zulke dingen met de mens,
30 tweemaal, zelfs driemaal zijn ziel terughalen uit de grafkuil, zodat hij het levenslicht kan blijven genieten.
31 Let daar goed op, Job. Luister naar wat ik nog meer te zeggen heb.
32 Maar als u nu al iets wilt zeggen, ga uw gang. Want ik zou zo graag willen dat uw onschuld wordt bewezen.
33 Maar zo niet, luister dan naar mij. Houdt u stil, terwijl ik u wijsheid leer!’
Job 33
King James Version
Job 33
King James Version
33 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

Иов 33
Библия, синодално издание
33 И тъй, слушай, Иове, речите ми и внимавай върху всичките ми думи.
2 Ето, отварям устата си, езикът ми говори в гърлото ми.
3 Думите ми са от искреност на сърцето ми, и устата ми ще произнесат чисто знание.
4 (A)Дух Божий ме е създал, и диханието Вседържителево ми е дало живот.
5 Ако можеш, отговаряй ми и застани пред мен.
6 (B)Ето ме мене, според твоето желание, вместо Бога. И аз съм направен от кал;
7 поради това страхът пред мене не може да те смути, и ръката ми не ще бъде тежка за тебе.
8 Ти ми говори на ухото, и аз чух звука на думите:
9 (C)„чист съм, без порок, невинен съм, и в мене няма неправда;
10 (D)а Той намери обвинение против мене и ме смята за Свой противник;
11 (E)нозете ми тури в клада, наглежда всичките ми пътища“.
12 (F)Ето, в това ти не си прав, отговарям ти, защото Бог е по-горе от човека.
13 За какво ти е да се бориш с Него? Той не дава сметка за никакви Свои дела.
14 (G)Бог говори веднаж и, ако това не забележат, още веднаж:
15 (H)на сън, в нощно видение, когато сън наляга човеците, във време, кога дремят на леглото.
16 (I)Тогава Той открива на човека ухото и запечатва Своето наставление,
17 за да отведе човека от някое предприятие и да отстрани от него гордостта,
18 за да отведе душата му от пропаст и живота му от поражение с меч.
19 Или бива вразумявай с болест на постелката си и с люта болка във всичките си кости, –
20 (J)и животът му се отвръща от хляба, и душата му – от обичната храна.
21 Плътта на него изчезва, тъй че не се вижда; костите му, които се не виждат, се подават.
22 Душата му се приближава към гроба, и животът му – към смъртта.
23 (K)Ако има у него Ангел-наставник, един от хиляда, за да показва на човека правия му път, –
24 (L)Бог ще се умилостиви над него и ще каже: освободи го от гроба; Аз намерих откуп.
25 Тогава тялото му ще се освежи повече, отколкото на младини; той ще се върне към дните на младините си.
26 (M)Ще се моли Богу, и Той ще бъде милостив към него; с радост поглежда лицето му и възвръща на човека праведността му.
27 Той ще гледа людете и ще казва: „грешил съм и кривил съм правдата, и не ми е въз дадено;
28 (N)Той освободи душата ми от гроба, и животът ми вижда светлина.“
29 Ето, всичко това Бог върши два-три пъти с човека,
30 (O)за да отведе душата му от гроба и да го просвети със светлината на живите.
31 Внимавай, Иове, слушай ме, мълчи, и аз ще говоря.
32 Ако имаш какво да кажеш, отговаряй; говори, защото желал бих да се оправдаеш;
33 ако ли не, то слушай ме: мълчи, и аз ще те науча на мъдрост.
Job 33
New International Version
Job 33
New International Version
33 “But now, Job, listen(A) to my words;
pay attention to everything I say.(B)
2 I am about to open my mouth;
my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3 My words come from an upright heart;(C)
my lips sincerely speak what I know.(D)
4 The Spirit(E) of God has made me;(F)
the breath of the Almighty(G) gives me life.(H)
5 Answer me(I) then, if you can;
stand up(J) and argue your case before me.(K)
6 I am the same as you in God’s sight;(L)
I too am a piece of clay.(M)
7 No fear of me should alarm you,
nor should my hand be heavy on you.(N)
8 “But you have said in my hearing—
I heard the very words—
9 ‘I am pure,(O) I have done no wrong;(P)
I am clean and free from sin.(Q)
10 Yet God has found fault with me;
he considers me his enemy.(R)
11 He fastens my feet in shackles;(S)
he keeps close watch on all my paths.’(T)
12 “But I tell you, in this you are not right,
for God is greater than any mortal.(U)
13 Why do you complain to him(V)
that he responds to no one’s words[a]?(W)
14 For God does speak(X)—now one way, now another(Y)—
though no one perceives it.(Z)
15 In a dream,(AA) in a vision(AB) of the night,(AC)
when deep sleep(AD) falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak(AE) in their ears
and terrify them(AF) with warnings,(AG)
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,(AH)
18 to preserve them from the pit,(AI)
their lives from perishing by the sword.[b](AJ)
19 “Or someone may be chastened(AK) on a bed of pain(AL)
with constant distress in their bones,(AM)
20 so that their body finds food(AN) repulsive
and their soul loathes the choicest meal.(AO)
21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing,
and their bones,(AP) once hidden, now stick out.(AQ)
22 They draw near to the pit,(AR)
and their life to the messengers of death.[c](AS)
23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,
a messenger,(AT) one out of a thousand,
sent to tell them how to be upright,(AU)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
‘Spare them from going down to the pit;(AV)
I have found a ransom for them(AW)—
25 let their flesh be renewed(AX) like a child’s;
let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(AY)—
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(AZ)
they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(BA)
he will restore them to full well-being.(BB)
27 And they will go to others and say,
‘I have sinned,(BC) I have perverted what is right,(BD)
but I did not get what I deserved.(BE)
28 God has delivered(BF) me from going down to the pit,(BG)
and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’(BH)
