Iov 40
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
40 Domnul a vorbit lui Iov şi a zis:
2 „Eşti încredinţat acum tu, care vorbeşti(A) împotriva Celui Atotputernic?
Tu, care mustri pe Dumnezeu, mai ai vreun răspuns de dat?”
3 Iov a răspuns Domnului şi a zis:
4 „Iată, eu sunt prea(B) mic. Ce să-Ţi răspund?
Îmi pun mâna la gură.
5 Am vorbit o dată, şi nu voi mai răspunde;
de două ori, şi nu voi mai adăuga nimic.”
6 Domnul(C) a răspuns lui Iov din mijlocul furtunii şi a zis:
7 „Încinge-ţi mijlocul(D) ca un viteaz
ca Eu(E) să te întreb, şi tu să Mă înveţi.
8 Vrei(F) să nimiceşti până şi dreptatea Mea?
Şi să Mă osândeşti, ca să-ţi scoţi dreptatea?
9 Ai tu un braţ ca al lui Dumnezeu
şi un glas de tunet(G) ca al Lui?
10 Împodobeşte-te cu(H) măreţie şi mărime,
îmbracă-te cu strălucire şi cu slavă!
11 Varsă-ţi valurile mâniei tale
şi doboară cu o privire pe cei trufaşi!
12 Smereşte cu o privire pe cei(I) trufaşi,
zdrobeşte pe loc pe cei răi,
13 ascunde-i pe toţi împreună în ţărână,
înveleşte-le faţa în întuneric!
14 Şi atunci voi aduce şi Eu lauda
puterii dreptei tale.
15 Uită-te la hipopotamul căruia i-am dat viaţă, ca şi ţie!
El mănâncă iarbă ca boul.
16 Uită-te ce tărie are în coapse
şi ce putere are în muşchii pântecelui său!
17 Îşi îndoaie coada tare ca un cedru
şi vinele coapselor lui sunt întreţesute.
18 Oasele lui sunt ca nişte ţevi de aramă,
mădularele lui sunt ca nişte drugi de fier.
19 El este cea mai mare dintre lucrările lui Dumnezeu.
Cel ce l-a făcut l-a înzestrat cu o suliţă.
20 El îşi găseşte hrana(J) în munţi,
unde se joacă toate fiarele câmpului.
21 Se culcă sub lotus,
în mijlocul trestiilor şi mlaştinilor.
22 Desişul lotusului îl acoperă cu umbra lui,
sălciile pârâului îl înconjoară.
23 Dacă se întâmplă ca râul să iasă din matcă, el nu fuge:
chiar de s-ar năpusti Iordanul în gâtlejul lui, el ar rămâne liniştit.
24 Crezi că-l poţi prinde lovindu-l în faţă?
Sau crezi că-i vei putea străpunge nasul cu ajutorul laţurilor?

God spreekt opnieuw
40 Toen sprak God vanuit een wervelwind opnieuw tot Job en zei:
2 ‘Maak u maar klaar, zet u schrap, Ik zal u opnieuw vragen stellen en daarop verwacht Ik wel een antwoord van u.
3 Wilt u mijn rechtvaardigheid in twijfel trekken en Mij veroordelen, zodat u zichzelf vrij kunt pleiten?
4 Bent u net zo sterk als God en kunt u net zo donderen met uw stem als Hij?
5 Goed, trek uw staatsiegewaad dan maar aan en hul uzelf in majesteit en pracht.
6 Geef uw woede de vrije loop! Laat hem losbarsten tegen alle trotse mensen.
7 Verneder de hooghartigen met een enkele blik en vertrap de goddelozen op de plaats waar zij staan.
8 Begraaf hen in het stof en laat de dood hun gezicht verstijven.
9 Als u daartoe in staat bent, ben Ik het met u eens als u zegt dat uw eigen kracht u kan redden.
10 Kijk eens naar het nijlpaard. Ik heb hem gemaakt, net zoals Ik u heb gemaakt. Hij eet gras als een os.
11 Let eens op zijn krachtige lendenen en op zijn buikspieren.
12 Zijn staart is zo recht als een ceder. De pezen van zijn dijen zijn stevig verstrengeld.
13 Zijn botten lijken op koperen buizen en zijn ribben zien eruit als ijzeren staven.
14 Hij is een van mijn eerste meesterwerken, alleen Ik kan hem in toom houden.
15 De bergen geven hem hun beste voedsel, de andere wilde dieren spelen rustig bij hem in de buurt.
16 Hij ligt onder de lotus, verscholen in het riet en
17 in de schaduw van de wilgen aan de waterkant.
18 Hij schrikt niet terug voor snelstromende rivieren, zelfs niet als de machtige stroomversnellingen van de Jordaan op hem af zouden komen.
19 Niemand krijgt de kans hem in een ogenblik van onoplettendheid te overmeesteren door zijn ogen te bedekken of hem een ring door de neus te doen en hem daaraan weg te leiden.
20 Kunt u het zeemonster Leviatan met een haak en een vislijn vangen? Of een lasso om zijn tong leggen?
21 Kunt u hem met een touw door zijn neus in bedwang houden of zijn kaak met een pin doorboren?
22 Zal hij u smeken om medelijden of u door vleiende woorden proberen om te praten?
23 Zal hij zich er bij neerleggen dat u hem voor zijn verdere leven tot slaaf maakt?
24 Kunt u hem net als een vogel in een huisdier veranderen en uw dochtertjes met hem laten spelen?
25 Zullen de mannen die samen vissen hem aan de vishandelaren verkopen en zullen deze hem onder zich verdelen?
26 Zal zijn huid worden doorboord met pijlen of kan iemand een harpoen in zijn kop planten?
27 Als u hem met de hand wilt aanraken, zal het gevecht dat volgt u nog lang heugen en u zult dat geen tweede maal proberen.
28 Nee, het is onmogelijk hem te vangen. Alleen al wanneer je naar hem kijkt, deins je terug.’
Job 40
King James Version
Job 40
King James Version
40 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,
2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
Job 40
New International Version
Job 40
New International Version
40 The Lord said to Job:(A)
2 “Will the one who contends with the Almighty(B) correct him?(C)
Let him who accuses God answer him!”(D)
3 Then Job answered the Lord:
4 “I am unworthy(E)—how can I reply to you?
I put my hand over my mouth.(F)
5 I spoke once, but I have no answer(G)—
twice, but I will say no more.”(H)
6 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:(I)
7 “Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.(J)
8 “Would you discredit my justice?(K)
Would you condemn me to justify yourself?(L)
9 Do you have an arm like God’s,(M)
and can your voice(N) thunder like his?(O)
10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor,
and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.(P)
11 Unleash the fury of your wrath,(Q)
look at all who are proud and bring them low,(R)
12 look at all who are proud(S) and humble them,(T)
crush(U) the wicked where they stand.
13 Bury them all in the dust together;(V)
shroud their faces in the grave.(W)
14 Then I myself will admit to you
that your own right hand can save you.(X)
15 “Look at Behemoth,
which I made(Y) along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.(Z)
16 What strength(AA) it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!(AB)
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.(AC)
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs(AD) like rods of iron.(AE)
19 It ranks first among the works of God,(AF)
yet its Maker(AG) can approach it with his sword.(AH)
20 The hills bring it their produce,(AI)
and all the wild animals play(AJ) nearby.(AK)
21 Under the lotus plants it lies,
hidden among the reeds(AL) in the marsh.(AM)
22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow;
the poplars by the stream(AN) surround it.
23 A raging river(AO) does not alarm it;
it is secure, though the Jordan(AP) should surge against its mouth.
24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes,
or trap it and pierce its nose?(AQ)
