1“Listen to my words, Job; pay attention to what I have to say.1וְֽאוּלָ֗ם שְׁמַֽע־ נָ֣א אִיּ֣וֹב מִלָּ֑י וְֽכָל־ דְּבָרַ֥י הַאֲזִֽינָה׃
2Now that I have begun to speak, let me continue.2הִנֵּה־ נָ֭א פָּתַ֣חְתִּי פִ֑י דִּבְּרָ֖ה לְשׁוֹנִ֣י בְחִכִּֽי׃
3I speak with all sincerity; I speak the truth.3יֹֽשֶׁר־ לִבִּ֥י אֲמָרָ֑י וְדַ֥עַת שְׂ֝פָתַ֗י בָּר֥וּר מִלֵּֽלוּ׃
4For the Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.4רֽוּחַ־ אֵ֥ל עָשָׂ֑תְנִי וְנִשְׁמַ֖ת שַׁדַּ֣י תְּחַיֵּֽנִי׃
5Answer me, if you can; make your case and take your stand.5אִם־ תּוּכַ֥ל הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נִי עֶרְכָ֥ה לְ֝פָנַ֗י הִתְיַצָּֽבָה׃
6Look, you and I both belong to God. I, too, was formed from clay.6הֵן־ אֲנִ֣י כְפִ֣יךָ לָאֵ֑ל מֵ֝חֹ֗מֶר קֹרַ֥צְתִּי גַם־ אָֽנִי׃
7So you don’t need to be afraid of me. I won’t come down hard on you.7הִנֵּ֣ה אֵ֭מָתִי לֹ֣א תְבַעֲתֶ֑ךָּ וְ֝אַכְפִּ֗י עָלֶ֥יךָ לֹא־ יִכְבָּֽד׃
8“You have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard your very words.8אַ֭ךְ אָמַ֣רְתָּ בְאָזְנָ֑י וְק֖וֹל מִלִּ֣ין אֶשְׁמָֽע׃
9You said, ‘I am pure; I am without sin; I am innocent; I have no guilt.9זַ֥ךְ אֲנִ֗י בְּֽלִ֫י פָ֥שַׁע חַ֥ף אָנֹכִ֑י וְלֹ֖א עָוֺ֣ן לִֽי׃
10God is picking a quarrel with me, and he considers me his enemy.10הֵ֣ן תְּ֭נוּאוֹת עָלַ֣י יִמְצָ֑א יַחְשְׁבֵ֖נִי לְאוֹיֵ֣ב לֽוֹ׃
11He puts my feet in the stocks and watches my every move.’11יָשֵׂ֣ם בַּסַּ֣ד רַגְלָ֑י יִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר כָּל־ אָרְחֹתָֽי׃
12“But you are wrong, and I will show you why. For God is greater than any human being.12הֶן־ זֹ֣את לֹא־ צָדַ֣קְתָּ אֶעֱנֶ֑ךָּ כִּֽי־ יִרְבֶּ֥ה אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַ מֵאֱנֽוֹשׁ׃
13So why are you bringing a charge against him? Why say he does not respond to people’s complaints?13מַ֭דּוּעַ אֵלָ֣יו רִיב֑וֹתָ כִּ֥י כָל־ דְּ֝בָרָ֗יו לֹ֣א־ יַעֲנֶֽה׃
14For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it.14כִּֽי־ בְאַחַ֥ת יְדַבֶּר־ אֵ֑ל וּ֝בִשְׁתַּ֗יִם לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃
15He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds.15בַּחֲל֤וֹם ׀ חֶזְי֬וֹן לַ֗יְלָה בִּנְפֹ֣ל תַּ֭רְדֵּמָה עַל־ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים בִּ֝תְנוּמ֗וֹת עֲלֵ֣י מִשְׁכָּֽב׃
16He whispers in their ears and terrifies them with warnings.16אָ֣ז יִ֭גְלֶה אֹ֣זֶן אֲנָשִׁ֑ים וּבְמֹ֖סָרָ֣ם יַחְתֹּֽם׃
17He makes them turn from doing wrong; he keeps them from pride.17לְ֭הָסִיר אָדָ֣ם מַעֲשֶׂ֑ה וְגֵוָ֖ה מִגֶּ֣בֶר יְכַסֶּֽה׃
18He protects them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death.18יַחְשֹׂ֣ךְ נַ֭פְשׁוֹ מִנִּי־ שָׁ֑חַת וְ֝חַיָּת֗וֹ מֵעֲבֹ֥ר בַּשָּֽׁלַח׃
19“Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds, with ceaseless aching in their bones.19וְהוּכַ֣ח בְּ֭מַכְאוֹב עַל־ מִשְׁכָּב֑וֹ [וריב] (וְר֖וֹב) עֲצָמָ֣יו אֵתָֽן׃
20They lose their appetite for even the most delicious food.20וְזִֽהֲמַ֣תּוּ חַיָּת֣וֹ לָ֑חֶם וְ֝נַפְשׁ֗וֹ מַאֲכַ֥ל תַּאֲוָֽה׃
21Their flesh wastes away, and their bones stick out.21יִ֣כֶל בְּשָׂר֣וֹ מֵרֹ֑אִי [ושפי] (וְשֻׁפּ֥וּ) עַ֝צְמוֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א רֻאּֽוּ׃
22They are at death’s door; the angels of death wait for them.22וַתִּקְרַ֣ב לַשַּׁ֣חַת נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וְ֝חַיָּת֗וֹ לַֽמְמִתִֽים׃
23“But if an angel from heaven appears— a special messenger to intercede for a person and declare that he is upright—23אִם־ יֵ֤שׁ עָלָ֨יו ׀ מַלְאָ֗ךְ מֵלִ֗יץ אֶחָ֥ד מִנִּי־ אָ֑לֶף לְהַגִּ֖יד לְאָדָ֣ם יָשְׁרֽוֹ׃
24he will be gracious and say, ‘Rescue him from the grave, for I have found a ransom for his life.’24וַיְחֻנֶּ֗נּוּ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר פְּ֭דָעֵהוּ מֵרֶ֥דֶת שָׁ֗חַת מָצָ֥אתִי כֹֽפֶר׃
25Then his body will become as healthy as a child’s, firm and youthful again.25רֻֽטֲפַ֣שׁ בְּשָׂר֣וֹ מִנֹּ֑עַר יָ֝שׁ֗וּב לִימֵ֥י עֲלוּמָֽיו׃
26When he prays to God, he will be accepted. And God will receive him with joy and restore him to good standing.26יֶעְתַּ֤ר אֶל־ אֱל֨וֹהַּ ׀ וַיִּרְצֵ֗הוּ וַיַּ֣רְא פָּ֭נָיו בִּתְרוּעָ֑ה וַיָּ֥שֶׁב לֶ֝אֱנ֗וֹשׁ צִדְקָתֽוֹ׃
27He will declare to his friends, ‘I sinned and twisted the truth, but it was not worth it.27יָשֹׁ֤ר ׀ עַל־ אֲנָשִׁ֗ים וַיֹּ֗אמֶר חָ֭טָאתִי וְיָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי וְלֹא־ שָׁ֥וָה לִֽי׃
28God rescued me from the grave, and now my life is filled with light.’28פָּדָ֣ה [נפשי] (נַ֭פְשׁוֹ) מֵעֲבֹ֣ר בַּשָּׁ֑חַת [וחיתי] (וְ֝חַיָּתוֹ) בָּא֥וֹר תִּרְאֶֽה׃
29“Yes, God does these things again and again for people.29הֶן־ כָּל־ אֵ֭לֶּה יִפְעַל־ אֵ֑ל פַּעֲמַ֖יִם שָׁל֣וֹשׁ עִם־ גָּֽבֶר׃
30He rescues them from the grave so they may enjoy the light of life.30לְהָשִׁ֣יב נַ֭פְשׁוֹ מִנִּי־ שָׁ֑חַת לֵ֝א֗וֹר בְּא֣וֹר הַֽחַיִּים׃
31Mark this well, Job. Listen to me, for I have more to say.31הַקְשֵׁ֖ב אִיּ֥וֹב שְֽׁמַֽע־ לִ֑י הַ֝חֲרֵ֗שׁ וְאָנֹכִ֥י אֲדַבֵּֽר׃
32But if you have anything to say, go ahead. Speak, for I am anxious to see you justified.32אִם־ יֵשׁ־ מִלִּ֥ין הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נִי דַּ֝בֵּ֗ר כִּֽי־ חָפַ֥צְתִּי צַדְּקֶֽךָּ׃
33But if not, then listen to me. Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom!”33אִם־ אַ֭יִן אַתָּ֥ה שְֽׁמַֽע־ לִ֑י הַ֝חֲרֵ֗שׁ וַאֲאַלֶּפְךָ֥ חָכְמָֽה׃ ס
