Iov 29
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
29 Iov şi-a continuat discursul şi a mai zis:
2 „O! de-aş mai fi ca în lunile trecute,
ca în zilele când mă păzea Dumnezeu!
3 Când candela Lui lumina peste capul meu
şi prin lumina Lui umblam în întuneric!
4 Când eram în zilele puterii mele,
când prietenia lui Dumnezeu era peste cortul meu,
5 când Cel Atotputernic era încă cu mine
şi copiii mei erau în jurul meu,
6 când mi se scăldau paşii în smântână,
iar stânca turna lângă mine pâraie de untdelemn.
7 Când mergeam la poarta cetăţii,
când îmi pregăteam scaunul în piaţă,
8 cei tineri mă vedeau şi se trăgeau înapoi
şi cei bătrâni se ridicau şi rămâneau în picioare,
9 conducătorii se opreau din vorbit
şi-şi puneau mâna la gură,
10 glasul căpeteniilor amuţea
şi li se lipea limba de cerul gurii.
11 Oricine mă auzea mă vorbea de bine
şi oricine mă vedea era de partea mea,
12 pentru că scăpam pe săracul care cerea ajutor
şi pe orfanul care nu avea sprijin.
13 Omul care murea mă binecuvânta;
făceam inima văduvei să cânte de bucurie.
14 Mă îmbrăcam cu dreptatea precum cu o haină,
judecata dreaptă îmi era robă şi turban;
15 eram ochi pentru cel orb
şi picior pentru cel olog;
16 eram tată pentru cel în nevoie
şi cercetam cauza celui străin.
17 Zdrobeam colţii celui nedrept
şi smulgeam prada din dinţii lui.
18 Îmi ziceam: «Voi muri în cuibul meu
şi zilele mele vor fi multe ca nisipul.
19 Rădăcinile mele vor ajunge la apă
şi roua va sta toată noaptea pe ramurile mele;
20 gloria mea va fi mereu proaspătă,
iar în mână voi avea întotdeauna un arc nou.»
21 Toţi mă ascultau şi aşteptau,
tăceau aşteptând sfatul meu.
22 După ce vorbeam, nu mai vorbea nimeni,
şi cuvântul meu cădea peste ei ca picăturile de ploaie.
23 Ei mă aşteptau cum se aşteaptă ploaia,
îşi deschideau gura ca după o ploaia târzie[a].
24 Când îşi pierdeau încrederea, le zâmbeam,
şi seninătatea feţei mele le era scumpă[b].
25 Le alegeam calea şi le eram conducător,
locuiam ca un rege în mijlocul cetelor sale,
eram ca unul care îi mângâie pe cei ce se jelesc.
Job 29
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Pagpapalang Tinanggap Noon ni Job
29 Nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita si Job, 2 “Kung maibabalik ko lang sana ang mga nagdaang araw noong kinakalinga pa ako ng Dios, 3 noong tinatanglawan pa niya ang aking daan habang lumalakad ako sa dilim. 4 Noong akoʼy nasa mabuti pang kalagayan, ang Dios ay matalik kong kaibigan, at pinagpapala niya ang sambahayan ko. 5 Pinapatnubayan pa ako noon ng Dios na Makapangyarihan, at magkakasama pa kami ng mga anak ko. 6 Ang mga baka ko nooʼy nagbibigay sa akin ng maraming gatas at mula sa mga tanim kong olibo ay umaani ako ng napakaraming langis. 7 Kapag pumupunta ako sa pintuang bayan at sumasama sa mga pinuno ng lungsod sa tuwing may pagpupulong sila, 8 tumatabi ang mga kabataang lalaki kapag nakita nila ako, at ang matatandaʼy tumatayo para magbigay galang sa akin. 9 Tumatahimik kahit ang mga pinuno 10 at ang mararangal na tao kapag nakikita nila ako. 11 Pinupuri ako ng mga taong nanonood o nakikinig sa aking pagsasalita. 12 Sapagkat tinutulungan ko ang mga dukhang humihingi ng tulong at mga ulilang walang malapitan. 13 Binabasbasan ako ng mga taong nag-aagaw buhay na aking tinulungan, at umaawit sa galak ang mga biyuda na aking natulungan din. 14 Palagi kong ginagawa ang tama at matuwid; para itong damit at turban na aking isinusuot. 15 Naging parang mata ako sa taong bulag at paa sa pilay. 16 Naging parang ama ako sa mga dukha, at kahit ang mga dayuhan ay tinulungan ko sa kanilang mga suliranin. 17 Winasak ko ang kapangyarihan ng masasamang tao at iniligtas ko ang mga biktima nila.
18 “Ang akala koʼy hahaba pa ang buhay ko, at mamamatay na kasama ang aking sambahayan. 19 Sapagkat ang katulad ko nooʼy matibay na punongkahoy na umaabot ang mga ugat sa tubig at laging nahahamugan ang mga sanga. 20 Palagi akong malakas at pinupuri ng mga tao. 21 Kapag nagpapayo ako, tumatahimik ang mga tao at nakikinig nang mabuti. 22 Pagkatapos kong magsalita, hindi na sila nagsasalita dahil nasisiyahan na sila sa mga sinabi ko. 23 Pinanabikan nila ang mga sasabihin ko tulad ng pagkasabik nila sa pagdating ng ulan. Gusto talaga nila akong mapakinggan. 24 Halos hindi sila makapaniwala kapag ngumiti ako, dahil ang masayang mukha koʼy nagpapalakas sa kanila. 25 Tulad ng isang pinuno, tinuturuan ko sila kung ano ang dapat gawin. Pinamumunuan ko sila tulad ng haring namumuno sa kanyang mga kawal. At inaaliw ko sila kapag silaʼy nalulungkot.
Job 29
King James Version
29 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
Job 29
New King James Version
Job’s Summary Defense
29 Job further continued his discourse, and said:
2 “Oh, that I were as in months (A)past,
As in the days when God (B)watched over me;
3 (C)When His lamp shone upon my head,
And when by His light I walked through darkness;
4 Just as I was in the days of my prime,
When (D)the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;
5 When the Almighty was yet with me,
When my children were around me;
6 When (E)my steps were bathed with [a]cream,
And (F)the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!
7 “When I went out to the gate by the city,
When I took my seat in the open square,
8 The young men saw me and hid,
And the aged arose and stood;
9 The princes refrained from talking,
And (G)put their hand on their mouth;
10 The voice of nobles was hushed,
And their (H)tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard, then it blessed me,
And when the eye saw, then it approved me;
12 Because (I)I delivered the poor who cried out,
The fatherless and the one who had no helper.
13 The blessing of a perishing man came upon me,
And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 (J)I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.
15 I was (K)eyes to the blind,
And I was feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor,
And (L)I searched out the case that I did not know.
17 I broke (M)the fangs of the wicked,
And plucked the victim from his teeth.
18 “Then I said, (N)‘I shall die in my nest,
And multiply my days as the sand.
19 (O)My root is spread out (P)to the waters,
And the dew lies all night on my branch.
20 My glory is fresh within me,
And my (Q)bow is renewed in my hand.’
21 “Men listened to me and waited,
And kept silence for my counsel.
22 After my words they did not speak again,
And my speech settled on them as dew.
23 They waited for me as for the rain,
And they opened their mouth wide as for (R)the spring rain.
24 If I mocked at them, they did not believe it,
And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.
25 I chose the way for them, and sat as chief;
So I dwelt as a king in the army,
As one who comforts mourners.
