Job 10
Louis Segond
10 Mon âme est dégoûtée de la vie! Je donnerai cours à ma plainte, Je parlerai dans l'amertume de mon âme.
2 Je dis à Dieu: Ne me condamne pas! Fais-moi savoir pourquoi tu me prends à partie!
3 Te paraît-il bien de maltraiter, De repousser l'ouvrage de tes mains, Et de faire briller ta faveur sur le conseil des méchants?
4 As-tu des yeux de chair, Vois-tu comme voit un homme?
5 Tes jours sont-ils comme les jours de l'homme, Et tes années comme ses années,
6 Pour que tu recherches mon iniquité, Pour que tu t'enquières de mon péché,
7 Sachant bien que je ne suis pas coupable, Et que nul ne peut me délivrer de ta main?
8 Tes mains m'ont formé, elles m'ont créé, Elles m'ont fait tout entier... Et tu me détruirais!
9 Souviens-toi que tu m'as façonné comme de l'argile; Voudrais-tu de nouveau me réduire en poussière?
10 Ne m'as-tu pas coulé comme du lait? Ne m'as-tu pas caillé comme du fromage?
11 Tu m'as revêtu de peau et de chair, Tu m'as tissé d'os et de nerfs;
12 Tu m'as accordé ta grâce avec la vie, Tu m'as conservé par tes soins et sous ta garde.
13 Voici néanmoins ce que tu cachais dans ton coeur, Voici, je le sais, ce que tu as résolu en toi-même.
14 Si je pèche, tu m'observes, Tu ne pardonnes pas mon iniquité.
15 Suis-je coupable, malheur à moi! Suis-je innocent, je n'ose lever la tête, Rassasié de honte et absorbé dans ma misère.
16 Et si j'ose la lever, tu me poursuis comme un lion, Tu me frappes encore par des prodiges.
17 Tu m'opposes de nouveaux témoins, Tu multiplies tes fureurs contre moi, Tu m'assailles d'une succession de calamités.
18 Pourquoi m'as-tu fait sortir du sein de ma mère? Je serais mort, et aucun oeil ne m'aurait vu;
19 Je serais comme si je n'eusse pas existé, Et j'aurais passé du ventre de ma mère au sépulcre.
20 Mes jours ne sont-ils pas en petit nombre? Qu'il me laisse, Qu'il se retire de moi, et que je respire un peu,
21 Avant que je m'en aille, pour ne plus revenir, Dans le pays des ténèbres et de l'ombre de la mort,
22 Pays d'une obscurité profonde, Où règnent l'ombre de la mort et la confusion, Et où la lumière est semblable aux ténèbres.
Giobbe 10
Nuova Riveduta 1994
Giobbe crede di essere colpito da Dio senza motivo
10 (A)«Io provo disgusto della mia
vita;
voglio dar libero sfogo al mio lamento,
voglio parlare nell'amarezza
dell'anima mia!
2 Io dirò a Dio: non condannarmi!
Fammi sapere perché sei in contesa
con me!
3 Ti sembra cosa ben fatta opprimere,
disprezzare l'opera delle tue mani
e favorire i disegni dei malvagi?
4 Hai tu occhi di carne?
Vedi tu come vede l'uomo?
5 Sono i tuoi giorni come i giorni del mortale,
i tuoi anni come gli anni degli esseri
umani,
6 che tu investighi tanto la mia
*iniquità,
che t'informi cosí del mio peccato,
7 pur sapendo che io non sono
colpevole,
e che non c'è chi mi liberi dalla tua mano?
8 Le tue mani mi hanno formato,
m'hanno fatto tutto quanto, eppure mi distruggi!
9 Ricòrdati che mi hai plasmato come argilla,
e tu mi fai ritornare in polvere!
10 Non mi hai colato forse come il latte
e fatto rapprendere come il formaggio?
11 Tu mi hai rivestito di pelle e
di carne,
e mi hai intessuto d'ossa e di nervi.
12 Mi hai concesso vita e grazia,
la tua provvidenza ha vegliato sul mio spirito,
13 ed ecco quello che nascondevi in
cuore!
Sí, lo so, questo meditavi:
14 se avessi peccato, l'avresti ben
tenuto a mente
e non mi avresti assolto dalla mia iniquità.
15 Se fossi stato malvagio, guai a me!
Se giusto, non avrei osato alzar la
fronte,
sazio d'infamia, spettatore della mia
miseria.
16 Se l'avessi alzata, mi avresti dato la caccia come a un leone,
contro di me avresti rinnovato le tue
prodezze;
17 avresti trovato contro di me nuovi testimoni
e avresti raddoppiato il tuo sdegno
contro di me;
legioni su legioni mi avrebbero assalito.
18 (B)«Perché mi hai fatto uscire dal
grembo di mia madre?
Sarei spirato senza che occhio mi
vedesse!
19 Sarei stato come se non fossi mai
esistito,
mi avrebbero portato dal grembo
materno alla tomba!
20 Non sono forse pochi i giorni che mi restano? Smetta egli dunque,
mi lasci stare, perché io possa
rasserenarmi un poco,
21 prima che me ne vada, per non piú tornare,
nella terra delle tenebre e dell'ombra
di morte:
22 terra oscura come notte profonda,
dove regnano l'ombra di morte e il
disordine,
il cui chiarore è come notte oscura».
Job 10
King James Version
10 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Job 10
New International Version
10 “I loathe my very life;(A)
therefore I will give free rein to my complaint
and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.(B)
2 I say to God:(C) Do not declare me guilty,
but tell me what charges(D) you have against me.(E)
3 Does it please you to oppress me,(F)
to spurn the work of your hands,(G)
while you smile on the plans of the wicked?(H)
4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
Do you see as a mortal sees?(I)
5 Are your days like those of a mortal
or your years like those of a strong man,(J)
6 that you must search out my faults
and probe after my sin(K)—
7 though you know that I am not guilty(L)
and that no one can rescue me from your hand?(M)
8 “Your hands shaped(N) me and made me.
Will you now turn and destroy me?(O)
9 Remember that you molded me like clay.(P)
Will you now turn me to dust again?(Q)
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
and curdle me like cheese,
11 clothe me with skin and flesh
and knit me together(R) with bones and sinews?
12 You gave me life(S) and showed me kindness,(T)
and in your providence(U) watched over(V) my spirit.
13 “But this is what you concealed in your heart,
and I know that this was in your mind:(W)
14 If I sinned, you would be watching me(X)
and would not let my offense go unpunished.(Y)
15 If I am guilty(Z)—woe to me!(AA)
Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,(AB)
for I am full of shame
and drowned in[a] my affliction.(AC)
16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion(AD)
and again display your awesome power against me.(AE)
17 You bring new witnesses against me(AF)
and increase your anger toward me;(AG)
your forces come against me wave upon wave.(AH)
18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb?(AI)
I wish I had died before any eye saw me.(AJ)
19 If only I had never come into being,
or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!(AK)
20 Are not my few days(AL) almost over?(AM)
Turn away from me(AN) so I can have a moment’s joy(AO)
21 before I go to the place of no return,(AP)
to the land of gloom and utter darkness,(AQ)
22 to the land of deepest night,
of utter darkness(AR) and disorder,
where even the light is like darkness.”(AS)
