Job 13

Berean Standard Bible tier 2Smith–Van Dyck tier 2
BSB

1 “Indeed, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood.

SVD

1 «هَذَا كُلُّهُ رَأَتْهُ عَيْنِي. سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنِي وَفَطِنَتْ بِهِ.

BSB

2 What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.

SVD

2 مَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ عَرَفْتُهُ أَنَا أَيْضًا. لَسْتُ دُونَكُمْ.

BSB

3 Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.

SVD

3 وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْقَدِيرَ، وَأَنْ أُحَاكَمَ إِلَى ٱللهِ.

BSB

4 You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.

SVD

4 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمُلَفِّقُو كَذِبٍ. أَطِبَّاءُ بَطَّالُونَ كُلُّكُمْ.

BSB

5 If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom!

SVD

5 لَيْتَكُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ صَمْتًا. يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ حِكْمَةً.

BSB

6 Hear now my argument, and listen to the plea of my lips.

SVD

6 اِسْمَعُوا ٱلْآنَ حُجَّتِي، وَٱصْغُوا إِلَى دَعَاوِي شَفَتَيَّ.

BSB

7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?

SVD

7 أَتَقُولُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ ظُلْمًا، وَتَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِغِشٍّ لِأَجْلِهِ؟

BSB

8 Would you show Him partiality or argue in His defense?

SVD

8 أَتُحَابُونَ وَجْهَهُ، أَمْ عَنِ ٱللهِ تُخَاصِمُونَ؟

BSB

9 Would it be well when He examined you? Could you deceive Him as you would deceive a man?

SVD

9 أَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ أَنْ يَفْحَصَكُمْ، أَمْ تُخَاتِلُونَهُ كَمَا يُخَاتَلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟

BSB

10 Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.

SVD

10 تَوْبِيخًا يُوَبِّخُكُمْ إِنْ حَابَيْتُمُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ خِفْيَةً.

BSB

11 Would His majesty not terrify you? Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?

SVD

11 فَهَلَّا يُرْهِبُكُمْ جَلَالُهُ، وَيَسْقُطُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُعْبُهُ؟

BSB

12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.

SVD

12 خُطَبُكُمْ أَمْثَالُ رَمَادٍ، وَحُصُونُكُمْ حُصُونٌ مِنْ طِينٍ.

BSB

13 Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.

SVD

13 «اُسْكُتُوا عَنِّي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ أَنَا، وَلْيُصِبْنِي مَهْمَا أَصَابَ.

BSB

14 Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?

SVD

14 لِمَاذَا آخُذُ لَحْمِي بِأَسْنَانِي، وَأَضَعُ نَفْسِي فِي كَفِّي؟

BSB

15 Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways to His face.

SVD

15 هُوَذَا يَقْتُلُنِي. لَا أَنْتَظِرُ شَيْئًا. فَقَطْ أُزَكِّي طَرِيقِي قُدَّامَهُ.

BSB

16 Moreover, this will be my salvation, for no godless man can appear before Him.

SVD

16 فَهَذَا يَعُودُ إِلَى خَلَاصِي، أَنَّ ٱلْفَاجِرَ لَا يَأْتِي قُدَّامَهُ.

BSB

17 Listen carefully to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears.

SVD

17 سَمْعًا ٱسْمَعُوا أَقْوَالِي وَتَصْرِيحِي بِمَسَامِعِكُمْ.

BSB

18 See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

SVD

18 هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُ ٱلدَّعْوَى. أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَتَبَرَّرُ.

BSB

19 Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.

SVD

19 مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُخَاصِمُنِي حَتَّى أَصْمُتَ ٱلْآنَ وَأُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ؟

BSB

20 Only grant these two things to me, so that I need not hide from You:

SVD

20 إِنَّمَا أَمْرَيْنِ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي، فَحِينَئِذٍ لَا أَخْتَفِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ.

BSB

21 Withdraw Your hand from me, and do not let Your terror frighten me.

SVD

21 أَبْعِدْ يَدَيْكَ عَنِّي، وَلَا تَدَعْ هَيْبَتَكَ تُرْعِبُنِي.

BSB

22 Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and You can reply.

SVD

22 ثُمَّ ٱدْعُ فَأَنَا أُجِيبُ، أَوْ أَتَكَلَّمُ فَتُجَاوِبُنِي.

BSB

23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.

SVD

23 كَمْ لِي مِنَ ٱلْآثَامِ وَٱلْخَطَايَا؟ أَعْلِمْنِي ذَنْبِي وَخَطِيَّتِي.

BSB

24 Why do You hide Your face and consider me as Your enemy?

SVD

24 لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ، وَتَحْسِبُنِي عَدُوًّا لَكَ؟

BSB

25 Would You frighten a windblown leaf? Would You chase after dry chaff?

SVD

25 أَتُرْعِبُ وَرَقَةً مُنْدَفَعَةً، وَتُطَارِدُ قَشًّا يَابِسًا؟

BSB

26 For You record bitter accusations against me and bequeath to me the iniquities of my youth.

SVD

26 لِأَنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيَّ أُمُورًا مُرَّةً، وَوَرَّثْتَنِي آثَامَ صِبَايَ،

BSB

27 You put my feet in the stocks and stand watch over all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet.

SVD

27 فَجَعَلْتَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ، وَلَاحَظْتَ جَمِيعَ مَسَالِكِي، وَعَلَى أُصُولِ رِجْلَيَّ نَبَشْتَ.

BSB

28 So man wastes away like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment.

SVD

28 وَأَنَا كَمُتَسَوِّسٍ يَبْلَى، كَثَوْبٍ أَكَلَهُ ٱلْعُثُّ.
