Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Răspunsul lui Iov
19 Iov a luat cuvântul şi a zis:
2 „Până când îmi veţi întrista sufletul
şi mă veţi zdrobi cu cuvântările voastre?
3 Iată că de zece ori m-aţi batjocorit(A).
Nu vă este ruşine să vă purtaţi aşa?
4 Dacă am păcătuit cu adevărat,
numai eu sunt răspunzător de aceasta.
5 Credeţi că mă puteţi lua(B) de sus?
Credeţi că mi-aţi dovedit că sunt vinovat?
6 Atunci, să ştiţi că Dumnezeu mă urmăreşte
şi mă înveleşte cu laţul Lui.
7 Iată, ţip de silnicie, şi nimeni nu răspunde;
cer dreptate, şi dreptate nu este!
8 Mi-a tăiat orice ieşire(C) şi nu pot trece;
a răspândit întuneric pe cărările mele.
9 M-a despuiat de slava(D) mea,
mi-a luat cununa de pe cap,
10 m-a zdrobit din toate părţile şi pier,
mi-a smuls nădejdea ca pe un copac.
11 S-a aprins de mânie împotriva mea,
S-a purtat cu mine ca şi cu un vrăjmaş(E).
12 Oştile Lui au pornit deodată înainte,
şi-au croit drum(F) până la mine
şi au tăbărât în jurul cortului meu.
13 A depărtat pe fraţii mei(G) de la mine,
şi prietenii mei s-au înstrăinat de mine.
14 Rudele mele m-au părăsit,
şi cei mai de aproape ai mei m-au uitat.
15 Casnicii mei şi slugile mele mă privesc ca pe un străin,
în ochii lor sunt un necunoscut.
16 Chem pe robul meu, şi nu răspunde;
îl rog cu gura mea, şi degeaba.
17 Suflarea mea a ajuns nesuferită nevestei mele
şi duhoarea mea a ajuns nesuferită fiilor mamei mele.
18 Până şi copiii(H) mă dispreţuiesc:
dacă mă scol, ei mă ocărăsc.
19 Aceia(I) în care mă încredeam mă urăsc,
aceia pe care îi iubeam s-au întors împotriva mea.
20 Oasele mi se ţin de piele(J) şi de carne;
nu mi-a mai rămas decât pielea de pe dinţi.
21 Fie-vă milă, fie-vă milă de mine, prietenii mei!
Căci mâna(K) lui Dumnezeu m-a lovit.
22 De ce mă urmăriţi(L) ca Dumnezeu?
Şi nu vă mai săturaţi de carnea mea?
23 Oh! Aş vrea ca vorbele mele să fie scrise,
să fie scrise într-o carte;
24 aş vrea să fie săpate cu un priboi de fier
şi cu plumb în stâncă pe vecie…
25 Dar ştiu că Răscumpărătorul[a] meu este viu
şi că Se va ridica la urmă pe pământ.
26 Chiar dacă mi se va nimici pielea şi chiar dacă nu voi mai avea carne(M),
voi vedea totuşi pe Dumnezeu.
27 Îl voi vedea şi-mi va fi binevoitor;
ochii mei Îl vor vedea, şi nu ai altuia.
Sufletul meu tânjeşte de dorul acesta înăuntrul meu.
28 Atunci veţi zice: ‘Pentru ce-l(N) urmăream noi?’
Căci dreptatea pricinii mele va fi cunoscută.
29 Temeţi-vă de sabie,
căci pedepsele date cu sabia sunt grozave!
Şi să(O) ştiţi că este o judecată.”

Job
19 Then Job replied:
2 “How long will you torment(A) me
and crush(B) me with words?
3 Ten times(C) now you have reproached(D) me;
shamelessly you attack me.
4 If it is true that I have gone astray,
my error(E) remains my concern alone.
5 If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me(F)
and use my humiliation against me,
6 then know that God has wronged me(G)
and drawn his net(H) around me.(I)
7 “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response;(J)
though I call for help,(K) there is no justice.(L)
8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass;(M)
he has shrouded my paths in darkness.(N)
9 He has stripped(O) me of my honor(P)
and removed the crown from my head.(Q)
10 He tears me down(R) on every side till I am gone;
he uproots my hope(S) like a tree.(T)
11 His anger(U) burns against me;
he counts me among his enemies.(V)
12 His troops advance in force;(W)
they build a siege ramp(X) against me
and encamp around my tent.(Y)
13 “He has alienated my family(Z) from me;
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.(AA)
14 My relatives have gone away;
my closest friends(AB) have forgotten me.
15 My guests(AC) and my female servants(AD) count me a foreigner;
they look on me as on a stranger.
16 I summon my servant, but he does not answer,
though I beg him with my own mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife;
I am loathsome(AE) to my own family.
18 Even the little boys(AF) scorn me;
when I appear, they ridicule me.(AG)
19 All my intimate friends(AH) detest me;(AI)
those I love have turned against me.(AJ)
20 I am nothing but skin and bones;(AK)
I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.[a]
21 “Have pity on me, my friends,(AL) have pity,
for the hand of God has struck(AM) me.
22 Why do you pursue(AN) me as God does?(AO)
Will you never get enough of my flesh?(AP)
23 “Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,(AQ)
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool(AR) on[b] lead,
or engraved in rock forever!(AS)
25 I know that my redeemer[c](AT) lives,(AU)
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.[d]
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet[e] in[f] my flesh I will see God;(AV)
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes(AW)—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns(AX) within me!

19 Then Job answered and said,
2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

Job Replies: My Redeemer Lives
19 Then Job answered and said:
2 “How long will you torment me
and break me in pieces with words?
3 These (A)ten times you have cast reproach upon me;
are you not ashamed to wrong me?
4 And even if it be true that I have erred,
my error remains with myself.
5 If indeed you (B)magnify yourselves against me
and make my disgrace an argument against me,
6 know then that God has (C)put me in the wrong
and closed his net about me.
7 Behold, I (D)cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered;
I call for help, but there is no justice.
8 He has (E)walled up my way, so that I cannot pass,
and he has set darkness upon my paths.
9 He has (F)stripped from me my glory
and taken the (G)crown from my head.
10 He breaks me down on every side, and I (H)am gone,
and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.
11 He has kindled his wrath against me
and (I)counts me as his adversary.
12 His (J)troops come on together;
they have (K)cast up their siege ramp[a] against me
and encamp around my tent.
13 “He has put my (L)brothers far from me,
and (M)those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.
14 My relatives (N)have failed me,
my close (O)friends have forgotten me.
15 The guests (P)in my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger;
I have become a foreigner in their eyes.
16 I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;
I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy.
17 My breath is strange to my (Q)wife,
and I am a stench to the children of (R)my own mother.
18 Even young (S)children despise me;
when I rise they talk against me.
19 All my (T)intimate friends abhor me,
and those whom I loved have turned against me.
20 My (U)bones stick to my skin and to my flesh,
and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21 Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, O you my friends,
for the hand of God has (V)touched me!
22 Why do you, like God, (W)pursue me?
Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?
23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were (X)inscribed in a book!
24 Oh that with an iron (Y)pen and lead
they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 For I (Z)know that my (AA)Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the (AB)earth.[b]
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in[c] my flesh I shall (AC)see God,
27 whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not (AD)another.
My heart (AE)faints within me!
28 If you say, ‘How we will (AF)pursue him!’
and, ‘The root of the matter is found in him,’[d]
29 be afraid of the sword,
for wrath brings the punishment of the sword,
that you may know there is (AG)a judgment.”
