וַיַּ֥עַן SDBH answered אִיּ֗וֹב SDBH Then Job וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ SDBH . . .

Then Iyov answered and said,

2

עַד־ SDBH How long אָ֭נָה SDBH . . . תּוֹגְי֣וּן SDBH will you torment נַפְשִׁ֑י SDBH me וּֽתְדַכְּאוּנַ֥נִי SDBH and crush me בְמִלִּֽים׃ SDBH with [your] words

How long will ye torment my nefesh, and crush me with words?

3

זֶ֤ה SDBH now עֶ֣שֶׂר SDBH Ten פְּ֭עָמִים SDBH times תַּכְלִימ֑וּנִי SDBH you have reproached me לֹֽא־ SDBH vvv תֵ֝בֹ֗שׁוּ SDBH you shamelessly תַּהְכְּרוּ־ SDBH mistreat לִֽי׃ me

These ten times have ye reproached me; ye have no bushah that ye cause me astonishment.

4

וְאַף־ SDBH Even if אָמְנָ֥ם SDBH vvv שָׁגִ֑יתִי SDBH I have truly gone astray אִ֝תִּ֗י SDBH alone תָּלִ֥ין SDBH concerns me מְשׁוּגָתִֽי׃ SDBH my error

And be it indeed that I have erred, mine meshugah (error) remaineth with myself.

5

אִם־ SDBH If אָ֭מְנָם SDBH indeed עָלַ֣י above me תַּגְדִּ֑ילוּ SDBH you would exalt [yourselves] וְתוֹכִ֥יחוּ SDBH . . . עָ֝לַ֗י against me חֶרְפָּתִּֽי׃ SDBH and use my disgrace

If indeed ye will magnify yourselves above me, and use against me my cherpah (reproach, humiliation),

6

דְּֽעוּ־ SDBH understand אֵ֭פוֹ SDBH then כִּי־ that אֱל֣וֹהַּ SDBH it is G-d עִוְּתָ֑נִי SDBH who has wronged me וּ֝מְצוּד֗וֹ SDBH and drawn His net עָלַ֥י me הִקִּֽיף׃ SDBH around

Have da'as now that Eloah hath put me in the wrong, and hath encompassed me with his matzud (net).

7

הֵ֤ן Though אֶצְעַ֣ק SDBH I cry out חָ֭מָס SDBH Violence וְלֹ֣א SDBH I get no אֵעָנֶ֑ה SDBH response אֲ֝שַׁוַּ֗ע SDBH though I call for help וְאֵ֣ין SDBH there is no מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ SDBH justice

Behold, when I cry chamas, I am not heard; I cry for help, but there is no mishpat.

8

אָרְחִ֣י SDBH my way גָ֭דַר SDBH He has blocked וְלֹ֣א SDBH so I cannot אֶעֱב֑וֹר SDBH pass וְעַ֥ל He has veiled נְ֝תִיבוֹתַ֗י SDBH my paths חֹ֣שֶׁךְ SDBH with darkness יָשִֽׂים׃ SDBH . . .

He breaks me down on every side till I am gone, and mine tikveh hath He uprooted like an etz.

אֲשֶׁ֤ר SDBH Him אֲנִ֨י׀ SDBH I אֶֽחֱזֶה־ SDBH will see לִּ֗י for myself וְעֵינַ֣י SDBH my eyes רָא֣וּ SDBH will behold Him וְלֹא־ SDBH and not זָ֑ר SDBH as a stranger כָּל֖וּ SDBH yearns כִלְיֹתַ֣י SDBH How my heart בְּחֵקִֽי׃ SDBH within me

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold and no other; my heart faints within me.

28

כִּ֣י If תֹ֭אמְרוּ SDBH you say מַה־ SDBH [Let us] נִּרְדָּף־ SDBH persecute ל֑וֹ him וְשֹׁ֥רֶשׁ SDBH since the root דָּ֝בָ֗ר SDBH of the matter נִמְצָא־ SDBH lies בִֽי׃ with him

But ye think, How we will persecute him, seeing the shoresh (root) of the matter is found in me?

29

גּ֤וּרוּ SDBH [then] you should fear לָכֶ֨ם׀ yourselves מִפְּנֵי־ . . . חֶ֗רֶב SDBH the sword כִּֽי־ because חֵ֭מָה SDBH wrath עֲוֺנ֣וֹת SDBH brings punishment חָ֑רֶב SDBH by the sword לְמַ֖עַן so that תֵּדְע֣וּן SDBH you may know שַׁדִּין׃ס SDBH [there is] a judgment
