Jobs 23
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
23 Da tok Job til orde og sa:
2 Ennu idag gjelder min klage for å være gjenstridighet; min hånd hviler dog tungt på mitt sukk[a].
3 Bare jeg visste å finne ham og kunde komme frem til hans trone!
4 Jeg skulde legge min sak frem for hans åsyn og fylle min munn med beviser.
5 Jeg skulde få vite de ord han vilde svare mig, og merke mig hvad han vilde si til mig.
6 Skulde han da med full kraft stride mot mig? Mon ikke just han skulde akte på mine ord?
7 Da skulde en rettskaffen mann gå i rette med ham, og jeg skulde slippe fra min dommer for all tid.
8 Men går jeg mot øst, så er han ikke der; går jeg mot vest, så blir jeg ikke var ham;
9 er han virksom i nord, så ser jeg ham ikke; går han mot syd, så øiner jeg ham ikke.
10 For han kjenner den vei jeg holder mig til; prøvde han mig, så skulde jeg gå frem av prøven som gullet.
11 Min fot holdt sig i hans spor; jeg fulgte hans vei og bøide ikke av.
12 Fra hans lebers bud vek jeg ikke; fremfor min egen lov[b] aktet jeg på hans munns ord.
13 Men han er den eneste, og hvem hindrer ham? Hvad hans sjel lyster, det gjør han.
14 For han fullbyrder det han har fastsatt for mig, og av sådant er det meget hos ham.
15 Derfor reddes jeg for ham; tenker jeg på det[c], så bever jeg for ham.
16 Og Gud har knekket mitt mot, og den Allmektige har forferdet mig,
17 fordi jeg ikke blev rykket bort før mørket kom, og fordi han ikke skjulte ulykkens natt for mig.

23 Then Job replied:
2 “Even today my complaint(A) is bitter;(B)
his hand[a] is heavy in spite of[b] my groaning.(C)
3 If only I knew where to find him;
if only I could go to his dwelling!(D)
4 I would state my case(E) before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.(F)
5 I would find out what he would answer me,(G)
and consider what he would say to me.
6 Would he vigorously oppose me?(H)
No, he would not press charges against me.(I)
7 There the upright(J) can establish their innocence before him,(K)
and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.(L)
8 “But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.(M)
10 But he knows the way that I take;(N)
when he has tested me,(O) I will come forth as gold.(P)
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;(Q)
I have kept to his way without turning aside.(R)
12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;(S)
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.(T)
13 “But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?(U)
He does whatever he pleases.(V)
14 He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.(W)
15 That is why I am terrified before him;(X)
when I think of all this, I fear him.(Y)
16 God has made my heart faint;(Z)
the Almighty(AA) has terrified me.(AB)
17 Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,(AC)
by the thick darkness that covers my face.
