| איוב 23 | Job 23 | |||
| 1 וַיַּ֥עַן אִיּ֗וֹב [3/2] Revi'i וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ [1] Silluq |
1 Then Job answered, [3/2] |
|||
| 2 גַּם־הַ֭יּוֹם [3] Dechi מְרִ֣י שִׂחִ֑י [2] Etnachta כָּבְדָ֥ה עַל־אַנְחָתִֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
2 “Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning. [3] |
|||
| 3 מִֽי־יִתֵּ֣ן יָ֭דַעְתִּי [3] Dechi וְאֶמְצָאֵ֑הוּ [2] Etnachta עַד־תְּכוּנָתֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq |
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat! [3] |
|||
| 4 אֶעֶרְכָ֣ה לְפָנָ֣יו [3] VDechi מִשְׁפָּ֑ט [2] Etnachta אֲמַלֵּ֥א תוֹכָחֽוֹת׃ [1] Silluq |
4 I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. [3] |
|||
| 5 אֵ֭דְעָה [3] Dechi מִלִּ֣ים יַעֲנֵ֑נִי [2] Etnachta מַה־יֹּ֥אמַר לִֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would tell me. [3] |
|||
| 6 הַבְּרָב־כֹּ֭חַ [3] Dechi יָרִ֣יב עִמָּדִ֑י [2] Etnachta יָשִׂ֥ם בִּֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me. [3] |
|||
| 7 שָׁ֗ם [3] Revi'i יָ֭שָׁר [3] Dechi נוֹכָ֣ח עִמּ֑וֹ [2] Etnachta מִשֹּׁפְטִֽי׃ [1] Silluq |
7 There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge. [3] |
|||
| 8 הֵ֤ן קֶ֣דֶם אֶהֱלֹ֣ךְ [3] VDechi וְאֵינֶ֑נּוּ [2] Etnachta וְֽלֹא־אָבִ֥ין לֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq |
8 “If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can’t find him, [3] |
|||
| 9 שְׂמֹ֣אול בַּעֲשֹׂת֣וֹ [3] VDechi וְלֹא־אָ֑חַז [2] Etnachta וְלֹ֣א אֶרְאֶֽה׃ [1] Silluq |
9 He works to the north, but I can’t see him. He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him. [3] |
|||
| 10 כִּֽי־יָ֭דַע [3] Dechi דֶּ֣רֶךְ עִמָּדִ֑י [2] Etnachta כַּזָּהָ֥ב אֵצֵֽא׃ [1] Silluq |
10 But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold. [3] |
|||
| 11 בַּ֭אֲשֻׁרוֹ [3] Dechi אָחֲזָ֣ה רַגְלִ֑י [2] Etnachta וְלֹא־אָֽט׃ [1] Silluq |
11 My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away. [3] |
|||
| 12 מִצְוַ֣ת שְׂ֭פָתָיו [3] Dechi וְלֹ֣א אָמִ֑ישׁ [2] Etnachta צָפַ֥נְתִּי אִמְרֵי־פִֽיו׃ [1] Silluq |
12 I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. [3] |
|||
| 13 וְה֣וּא בְ֭אֶחָד [3] Dechi וּמִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ [2] Etnachta וַיָּֽעַשׂ׃ [1] Silluq |
13 But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does. [3] |
|||
| 14 כִּ֭י [3] Dechi יַשְׁלִ֣ים חֻקִּ֑י [2] Etnachta עִמּֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq |
14 For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him. [3] |
|||
| 15 עַל־כֵּ֭ן [3] Dechi מִפָּנָ֣יו אֶבָּהֵ֑ל [2] Etnachta וְאֶפְחַ֥ד מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ [1] Silluq |
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him. [3] |
|||
| 16 וְ֭אֵל [3] Dechi הֵרַ֣ךְ לִבִּ֑י [2] Etnachta הִבְהִילָֽנִי׃ [1] Silluq |
16 For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me. [3] |
|||
| 17 כִּֽי־לֹ֣א נִ֭צְמַתִּי [3] Dechi מִפְּנֵי־חֹ֑שֶׁךְ [2] Etnachta כִּסָּה־אֹֽפֶל׃ [1] Silluq |
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face. ¶ [3] |
