1 {S} And Job again took up his parable, and said:
|
|
á îÄé-éÄúÌÀðÅðÄé ëÀéÇøÀçÅé-÷ÆãÆí; ëÌÄéîÅé, àÁìåÉäÌÇ éÄùÑÀîÀøÅðÄé.
|
2 Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
|
|
â áÌÀäÄìÌåÉ ðÅøåÉ, òÂìÅé øÉàùÑÄé; ìÀàåÉøåÉ, àÅìÆêÀ çÉùÑÆêÀ.
|
3 When His lamp shined above my head, and by His light I walked through darkness;
|
|
ã ëÌÇàÂùÑÆø äÈéÄéúÄé, áÌÄéîÅé çÈøÀôÌÄé; áÌÀñåÉã àÁìåÉäÌÇ, òÂìÅé àÈäÃìÄé.
|
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the converse of God was upon my tent;
|
|
ä áÌÀòåÉã ùÑÇãÌÇé, òÄîÌÈãÄé; ñÀáÄéáåÉúÇé ðÀòÈøÈé.
|
5 When the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were about me;
|
|
å áÌÄøÀçÉõ äÂìÄéëÇé áÌÀçÅîÈä; åÀöåÌø éÈöåÌ÷ òÄîÌÈãÄé, ôÌÇìÀâÅé-ùÑÈîÆï.
|
6 When my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil!
|
|
æ áÌÀöÅàúÄé ùÑÇòÇø òÂìÅé-÷ÈøÆú; áÌÈøÀçåÉá, àÈëÄéï îåÉùÑÈáÄé.
|
7 When I went forth to the gate unto the city, when I prepared my seat in the broad place,
|
|
ç øÈàåÌðÄé ðÀòÈøÄéí åÀðÆçÀáÌÈàåÌ; åÄéùÑÄéùÑÄéí, ÷ÈîåÌ òÈîÈãåÌ.
|
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the aged rose up and stood;
|
|
è ùÒÈøÄéí, òÈöÀøåÌ áÀîÄìÌÄéí; åÀëÇó, éÈùÒÄéîåÌ ìÀôÄéäÆí.
|
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;
|
|
é ÷åÉì-ðÀâÄéãÄéí ðÆçÀáÌÈàåÌ; åÌìÀùÑåÉðÈí, ìÀçÄëÌÈí ãÌÈáÅ÷Èä.
|
10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
|
|
éà ëÌÄé àÉæÆï ùÑÈîÀòÈä, åÇúÌÀàÇùÌÑÀøÅðÄé; åÀòÇéÄï øÈàÂúÈä, åÇúÌÀòÄéãÅðÄé.
|
11 For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me;
|
|
éá ëÌÄé-àÂîÇìÌÅè, òÈðÄé îÀùÑÇåÌÅòÇ; åÀéÈúåÉí, åÀìÉà-òÉæÅø ìåÉ.
|
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless also, that had none to help him.
|
|
éâ áÌÄøÀëÌÇú àÉáÅã, òÈìÇé úÌÈáÉà; åÀìÅá àÇìÀîÈðÈä àÇøÀðÄï.
|
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
|
|
éã öÆãÆ÷ ìÈáÇùÑÀúÌÄé, åÇéÌÄìÀáÌÈùÑÅðÄé; ëÌÄîÀòÄéì åÀöÈðÄéó, îÄùÑÀôÌÈèÄé.
|
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed itself with me; my justice was as a robe and a diadem.
|
|
èå òÅéðÇéÄí äÈéÄéúÄé, ìÇòÄåÌÅø; åÀøÇâÀìÇéÄí ìÇôÌÄñÌÅçÇ àÈðÄé.
|
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
|
|
èæ àÈá àÈðÉëÄé, ìÈàÆáÀéåÉðÄéí; åÀøÄá ìÉà-éÈãÇòÀúÌÄé àÆçÀ÷ÀøÅäåÌ.
|
16 I was a father to the needy; and the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.
|
|
éæ åÈàÂùÑÇáÌÀøÈä, îÀúÇìÌÀòåÉú òÇåÌÈì; åÌîÄùÌÑÄðÌÈéå, àÇùÑÀìÄéêÀ èÈøÆó.
|
17 And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
|
|
éç åÈàÉîÇø, òÄí-÷ÄðÌÄé àÆâÀåÈò; åÀëÇçåÉì, àÇøÀáÌÆä éÈîÄéí.
|
18 Then I said: 'I shall die with my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the phoenix;
|
|
éè ùÑÈøÀùÑÄé ôÈúåÌçÇ àÁìÅé-îÈéÄí; åÀèÇì, éÈìÄéï áÌÄ÷ÀöÄéøÄé.
|
19 My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew shall lie all night upon my branch;

ë ëÌÀáåÉãÄé, çÈãÈùÑ òÄîÌÈãÄé; åÀ÷ÇùÑÀúÌÄé, áÌÀéÈãÄé úÇçÂìÄéó.
|
20 My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow shall be renewed in my hand.'
|
|
ëà ìÄé-ùÑÈîÀòåÌ åÀéÄçÅìÌåÌ; åÀéÄãÌÀîåÌ, ìÀîåÉ òÂöÈúÄé.
|
21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
|
|
ëá àÇçÂøÅé ãÀáÈøÄé, ìÉà éÄùÑÀðåÌ; åÀòÈìÅéîåÉ, úÌÄèÌÉó îÄìÌÈúÄé.
|
22 After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
|
|
ëâ åÀéÄçÂìåÌ ëÇîÌÈèÈø ìÄé; åÌôÄéäÆí, ôÌÈòÂøåÌ ìÀîÇìÀ÷åÉùÑ.
|
23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
|
|
ëã àÆùÒÀçÇ÷ àÂìÅäÆí, ìÉà éÇàÂîÄéðåÌ; åÀàåÉø ôÌÈðÇé, ìÉà éÇôÌÄéìåÌï.
|
24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
|
ëä àÆáÀçÇø ãÌÇøÀëÌÈí, åÀàÅùÑÅá øÉàùÑ:
åÀàÆùÑÀëÌåÉï, ëÌÀîÆìÆêÀ áÌÇâÌÀãåÌã; ëÌÇàÂùÑÆø àÂáÅìÄéí éÀðÇçÅí.
|
25 I chose out their way, and sat as chief, {N}
and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
