Job 33
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
Elihu annonce le salut de Dieu
33 Maintenant donc, Job, écoute mes discours,
Prête l’oreille à toutes mes paroles!
2 Voici, j’ouvre la bouche,
Ma langue se remue dans mon palais.
3 C’est avec droiture de cœur que je vais parler,
C’est la vérité pure qu’exprimeront mes lèvres:
4 L’Esprit de Dieu m’a créé,
Et le souffle du Tout-Puissant m’anime.
5 Si tu le peux, réponds-moi,
Défends ta cause, tiens-toi prêt!
6 Devant Dieu je suis ton semblable,
J’ai été comme toi formé de la boue;
7 Ainsi mes terreurs ne te troubleront pas,
Et mon poids ne saurait t’accabler.
8 Mais tu as dit à mes oreilles,
Et j’ai entendu le son de tes paroles:
9 Je suis pur, je suis sans péché,
Je suis net, il n’y a point en moi d’iniquité.
10 Et Dieu trouve contre moi des motifs de haine,
Il me traite comme son ennemi;
11 Il met mes pieds dans les ceps,
Il surveille tous mes mouvements.
12 Je te répondrai qu’en cela tu n’as pas raison,
Car Dieu est plus grand que l’homme.
13 Veux-tu donc disputer avec lui,
Parce qu’il ne rend aucun compte de ses actes?
14 Dieu parle cependant, tantôt d’une manière,
Tantôt d’une autre, et l’on n’y prend point garde.
15 Il parle par des songes, par des visions nocturnes,
Quand les hommes sont livrés à un profond sommeil,
Quand ils sont endormis sur leur couche.
16 Alors il leur donne des avertissements
Et met le sceau à ses instructions,
17 Afin de détourner l’homme du mal
Et de le préserver de l’orgueil,
18 Afin de garantir son âme de la fosse
Et sa vie des coups du glaive.
19 Par la douleur aussi l’homme est repris sur sa couche,
Quand une lutte continue vient agiter ses os.
20 Alors il prend en dégoût le pain,
Même les aliments les plus exquis;
21 Sa chair se consume et disparaît,
Ses os qu’on ne voyait pas sont mis à nu;
22 Son âme s’approche de la fosse,
Et sa vie des messagers de la mort.
23 Mais s’il se trouve pour lui un ange intercesseur,
Un d’entre les mille
Qui annoncent à l’homme la voie qu’il doit suivre,
24 Dieu a compassion de lui et dit à l’ange:
Délivre-le, afin qu’il ne descende pas dans la fosse;
J’ai trouvé une rançon!
25 Et sa chair a plus de fraîcheur qu’au premier âge,
Il revient aux jours de sa jeunesse.
26 Il adresse à Dieu sa prière; et Dieu lui est propice,
Lui laisse voir sa face avec joie,
Et lui rend son innocence.
27 Il chante devant les hommes et dit:
J’ai péché, j’ai violé la justice,
Et je n’ai pas été puni comme je le méritais;
28 Dieu a délivré mon âme pour qu’elle n’entre pas dans la fosse,
Et ma vie s’épanouit à la lumière!
29 Voilà tout ce que Dieu fait,
Deux fois, trois fois, avec l’homme,
30 Pour ramener son âme de la fosse,
Pour l’éclairer de la lumière des vivants.
31 Sois attentif, Job, écoute-moi!
Tais-toi, et je parlerai!
32 Si tu as quelque chose à dire, réponds-moi!
Parle, car je voudrais te donner raison.
33 Si tu n’as rien à dire, écoute-moi!
Tais-toi, et je t’enseignerai la sagesse.

Elihu Contradicts Job
33 “But please, Job, hear my speech,
And listen to all my words.
2 Now, I open my mouth;
My tongue speaks in my mouth.
3 My words come from my upright heart;
My lips utter pure knowledge.
4 (A)The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 If you can answer me,
Set your words in order before me;
Take your stand.
6 (B)Truly I am [a]as your spokesman before God;
I also have been formed out of clay.
7 (C)Surely no fear of me will terrify you,
Nor will my hand be heavy on you.
8 “Surely you have spoken [b]in my hearing,
And I have heard the sound of your words, saying,
9 ‘I(D) am pure, without transgression;
I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.
10 Yet He finds occasions against me,
(E)He counts me as His enemy;
11 (F)He puts my feet in the stocks,
He watches all my paths.’
12 “Look, in this you are not righteous.
I will answer you,
For God is greater than man.
13 Why do you (G)contend with Him?
For He does not give an accounting of any of His words.
14 (H)For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.
15 (I)In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
16 (J)Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
17 In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
18 He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from [c]perishing by the sword.
19 “Man is also chastened with pain on his (K)bed,
And with strong pain in many of his bones,
20 (L)So that his life abhors (M)bread,
And his soul [d]succulent food.
21 His flesh wastes away from sight,
And his bones stick out which once were not seen.
22 Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
And his life to the executioners.
23 “If there is a messenger for him,
A mediator, one among a thousand,
To show man His uprightness,
24 Then He is gracious to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down to the Pit;
I have found [e]a ransom’;
25 His flesh shall be young like a child’s,
He shall return to the days of his youth.
26 He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him,
He shall see His face with joy,
For He restores to man His righteousness.
27 Then he looks at men and (N)says,
‘I have sinned, and perverted what was right,
And it (O)did not profit me.’
28 He will (P)redeem [f]his soul from going down to the Pit,
And his life shall see the light.
29 “Behold, God works all these things,
Twice, in fact, three times with a man,
30 (Q)To bring back his soul from the Pit,
That he may be enlightened with the light of life.

Eliú censura a Job
33 »Por tanto, Job, oye ahora mi discurso,
Y presta atención a todas mis palabras(A).
2 -»Ahora abro mi boca,
En mi paladar habla mi lengua.
3 -»Mis palabras proceden de la rectitud de mi corazón,
Y con sinceridad mis labios hablan lo que saben[a](B).
4 -»El Espíritu de Dios me ha hecho(C),
Y el aliento del Todopoderoso[b] me da vida(D).
5 -»Contradíceme si puedes(E);
Colócate delante de mí, ponte en pie.
6 -»Yo, al igual que tú, pertenezco a Dios;
Del barro yo también he sido formado[c](F).
7 -»Mi temor no te debe espantar,
Ni mi mano[d] agravarse sobre ti(G).
8 ¶»Ciertamente has hablado a oídos míos,
Y el sonido de tus palabras he oído:
9 “Yo soy limpio(H), sin transgresión(I);
Soy inocente y en mí no hay culpa(J).
10 -”Dios busca[e] pretextos contra mí;
Me tiene como Su enemigo(K).
11 -”Pone mis pies en el cepo;
Vigila todas mis sendas(L)”.
12 -»Pero déjame decirte[f] que no tienes razón en esto,
Porque Dios es más grande que el hombre(M).
13 ¶»¿Por qué te quejas contra Él,
Diciendo que no da cuenta de todas Sus acciones(N)?
14 -»Ciertamente Dios habla una vez,
Y otra vez[g](O), pero nadie se da cuenta de ello.
15 -»(P)En un sueño, en una visión nocturna,
Cuando un sueño profundo cae sobre los hombres,
Mientras dormitan en sus lechos,
16 Entonces Él abre el oído de los hombres,
Y sella su instrucción(Q),
17 Para apartar al hombre de sus obras,
Y del orgullo guardarlo[h];
18 Libra su alma de la fosa(R)
Y su vida de pasar al Seol[i](S).
19 ¶»El hombre es castigado también con dolor en su lecho,
Y con queja continua en sus huesos(T),
20 Para que su vida aborrezca el pan,
Y su alma el alimento favorito(U).
21 -»Su carne desaparece a la vista(V),
Y sus huesos que no se veían, aparecen(W).
22 -»Entonces su alma se acerca a la fosa(X),
Y su vida a los que causan la muerte.
23 ¶»Si hay un ángel que sea su mediador(Y),
Uno entre mil,
Para declarar al hombre lo que es bueno para él[j],
24 Y que tenga piedad de él, y diga:
“Líbralo de descender a la fosa(Z),
He hallado su rescate(AA)”;
25 Que su carne se vuelva más tierna que en su juventud,
Que regrese a los días de su vigor juvenil.
26 -»Entonces orará a Dios, y Él lo aceptará(AB),
Para que vea con gozo Su rostro(AC),
Y restaure Su justicia al hombre.
27 -»Cantará él a los hombres y dirá:
“He pecado(AD) y pervertido lo que es justo(AE),
Y no es apropiado para mí.
28 -Ӄl ha redimido mi alma de descender a la fosa,
Y mi vida verá la luz(AF)”.
29 ¶»Dios hace todo esto con frecuencia[k] a los hombres(AG),
30 Para rescatar su alma de la fosa(AH),
Para que sea iluminado con la luz de la vida.
31 -»Pon atención, Job, escúchame;
Guarda silencio y déjame hablar.
32 -»Si algo tienes que decir[l], respóndeme;
Habla, porque deseo justificarte.
33 -»Si no, escúchame;
Pon atención y te enseñaré sabiduría(AI)».

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)
