1“But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.1וְֽאוּלָ֗ם שְׁמַֽע־ נָ֣א אִיּ֣וֹב מִלָּ֑י וְֽכָל־ דְּבָרַ֥י הַאֲזִֽינָה׃
2Behold, I open my mouth; the tongue in my mouth speaks.2הִנֵּה־ נָ֭א פָּתַ֣חְתִּי פִ֑י דִּבְּרָ֖ה לְשׁוֹנִ֣י בְחִכִּֽי׃
3My words declare the uprightness of my heart, and what my lips know they speak sincerely.3יֹֽשֶׁר־ לִבִּ֥י אֲמָרָ֑י וְדַ֥עַת שְׂ֝פָתַ֗י בָּר֥וּר מִלֵּֽלוּ׃
4The 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; set your words in order before me; take your stand.5אִם־ תּוּכַ֥ל הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נִי עֶרְכָ֥ה לְ֝פָנַ֗י הִתְיַצָּֽבָה׃
6Behold, I am toward God as you are; I too was pinched off from a piece of clay.6הֵן־ אֲנִ֣י כְפִ֣יךָ לָאֵ֑ל מֵ֝חֹ֗מֶר קֹרַ֥צְתִּי גַם־ אָֽנִי׃
7Behold, no fear of me need terrify you; my pressure will not be heavy upon you.7הִנֵּ֣ה אֵ֭מָתִי לֹ֣א תְבַעֲתֶ֑ךָּ וְ֝אַכְפִּ֗י עָלֶ֥יךָ לֹא־ יִכְבָּֽד׃
8“Surely you have spoken in my ears, and I have heard the sound of your words.8אַ֭ךְ אָמַ֣רְתָּ בְאָזְנָ֑י וְק֖וֹל מִלִּ֣ין אֶשְׁמָֽע׃
9You say, ‘I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.9זַ֥ךְ אֲנִ֗י בְּֽלִ֫י פָ֥שַׁע חַ֥ף אָנֹכִ֑י וְלֹ֖א עָוֺ֣ן לִֽי׃
10Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me as his enemy,10הֵ֣ן תְּ֭נוּאוֹת עָלַ֣י יִמְצָ֑א יַחְשְׁבֵ֖נִי לְאוֹיֵ֣ב לֽוֹ׃
11he puts my feet in the stocks and watches all my paths.’11יָשֵׂ֣ם בַּסַּ֣ד רַגְלָ֑י יִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר כָּל־ אָרְחֹתָֽי׃
12“Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.12הֶן־ זֹ֣את לֹא־ צָדַ֣קְתָּ אֶעֱנֶ֑ךָּ כִּֽי־ יִרְבֶּ֥ה אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַ מֵאֱנֽוֹשׁ׃
13Why do you contend against him, saying, ‘He will answer none of man’s words’?13מַ֭דּוּעַ אֵלָ֣יו רִיב֑וֹתָ כִּ֥י כָל־ דְּ֝בָרָ֗יו לֹ֣א־ יַעֲנֶֽה׃
14For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.14כִּֽי־ בְאַחַ֥ת יְדַבֶּר־ אֵ֑ל וּ֝בִשְׁתַּ֗יִם לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds,15בַּחֲל֤וֹם ׀ חֶזְי֬וֹן לַ֗יְלָה בִּנְפֹ֣ל תַּ֭רְדֵּמָה עַל־ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים בִּ֝תְנוּמ֗וֹת עֲלֵ֣י מִשְׁכָּֽב׃
16then he opens the ears of men and terrifies them with warnings,16אָ֣ז יִ֭גְלֶה אֹ֣זֶן אֲנָשִׁ֑ים וּבְמֹ֖סָרָ֣ם יַחְתֹּֽם׃
17that he may turn man aside from his deed and conceal pride from a man;17לְ֭הָסִיר אָדָ֣ם מַעֲשֶׂ֑ה וְגֵוָ֖ה מִגֶּ֣בֶר יְכַסֶּֽה׃
18he keeps back his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword.18יַחְשֹׂ֣ךְ נַ֭פְשׁוֹ מִנִּי־ שָׁ֑חַת וְ֝חַיָּת֗וֹ מֵעֲבֹ֥ר בַּשָּֽׁלַח׃
19“Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed and with continual strife in his bones,19וְהוּכַ֣ח בְּ֭מַכְאוֹב עַל־ מִשְׁכָּב֑וֹ [וריב] (וְר֖וֹב) עֲצָמָ֣יו אֵתָֽן׃
20so that his life loathes bread, and his appetite the choicest food.20וְזִֽהֲמַ֣תּוּ חַיָּת֣וֹ לָ֑חֶם וְ֝נַפְשׁ֗וֹ מַאֲכַ֥ל תַּאֲוָֽה׃
21His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen, and his bones that were not seen stick out.21יִ֣כֶל בְּשָׂר֣וֹ מֵרֹ֑אִי [ושפי] (וְשֻׁפּ֥וּ) עַ֝צְמוֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א רֻאּֽוּ׃
22His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death.22וַתִּקְרַ֣ב לַשַּׁ֣חַת נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וְ֝חַיָּת֗וֹ לַֽמְמִתִֽים׃
23If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him,23אִם־ יֵ֤שׁ עָלָ֨יו ׀ מַלְאָ֗ךְ מֵלִ֗יץ אֶחָ֥ד מִנִּי־ אָ֑לֶף לְהַגִּ֖יד לְאָדָ֣ם יָשְׁרֽוֹ׃
24and he is merciful to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom;24וַיְחֻנֶּ֗נּוּ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר פְּ֭דָעֵהוּ מֵרֶ֥דֶת שָׁ֗חַת מָצָ֥אתִי כֹֽפֶר׃
25let his flesh become fresh with youth; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;25רֻֽטֲפַ֣שׁ בְּשָׂר֣וֹ מִנֹּ֑עַר יָ֝שׁ֗וּב לִימֵ֥י עֲלוּמָֽיו׃
26then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness.26יֶעְתַּ֤ר אֶל־ אֱל֨וֹהַּ ׀ וַיִּרְצֵ֗הוּ וַיַּ֣רְא פָּ֭נָיו בִּתְרוּעָ֑ה וַיָּ֥שֶׁב לֶ֝אֱנ֗וֹשׁ צִדְקָתֽוֹ׃
27He sings before men and says: ‘I sinned and perverted what was right, and it was not repaid to me.27יָשֹׁ֤ר ׀ עַל־ אֲנָשִׁ֗ים וַיֹּ֗אמֶר חָ֭טָאתִי וְיָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי וְלֹא־ שָׁ֥וָה לִֽי׃
28He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light.’28פָּדָ֣ה [נפשי] (נַ֭פְשׁוֹ) מֵעֲבֹ֣ר בַּשָּׁ֑חַת [וחיתי] (וְ֝חַיָּתוֹ) בָּא֥וֹר תִּרְאֶֽה׃
29“Behold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man,29הֶן־ כָּל־ אֵ֭לֶּה יִפְעַל־ אֵ֑ל פַּעֲמַ֖יִם שָׁל֣וֹשׁ עִם־ גָּֽבֶר׃
30to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be lighted with the light of life.30לְהָשִׁ֣יב נַ֭פְשׁוֹ מִנִּי־ שָׁ֑חַת לֵ֝א֗וֹר בְּא֣וֹר הַֽחַיִּים׃
31Pay attention, O Job, listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.31הַקְשֵׁ֖ב אִיּ֥וֹב שְֽׁמַֽע־ לִ֑י הַ֝חֲרֵ֗שׁ וְאָנֹכִ֥י אֲדַבֵּֽר׃
32If you have any words, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify you.32אִם־ יֵשׁ־ מִלִּ֥ין הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נִי דַּ֝בֵּ֗ר כִּֽי־ חָפַ֥צְתִּי צַדְּקֶֽךָּ׃
33If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”33אִם־ אַ֭יִן אַתָּ֥ה שְֽׁמַֽע־ לִ֑י הַ֝חֲרֵ֗שׁ וַאֲאַלֶּפְךָ֥ חָכְמָֽה׃ ס
