Iyov 35 — Hebrew–OJB Interlinear

1

וַיַּ֥עַן SDBH went on אֱלִיה֗וּ SDBH And Elihu וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ SDBH to say

Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

2

הֲ֭זֹאת SDBH this חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ SDBH Do you think לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט SDBH is just אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ SDBH You say צִדְקִ֥י SDBH I am more righteous מֵאֵֽל׃ SDBH than G-d

Thinkest thou this to be mishpat (right, just), that thou saidst, Tzidki meEl (I am cleared, in the right, justified before G-d)?

3

כִּֽי־ For תֹ֭אמַר SDBH you ask מַה־ SDBH What יִּסְכָּן־ SDBH does it profit לָ֑ךְ me מָֽה־ SDBH and what אֹ֝עִ֗יל SDBH benefit do I gain מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃ SDBH apart from sin

Ki (yet) thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned [see 9:22]?

4

אֲ֭נִי SDBH I אֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֣ SDBH will reply מִלִּ֑ין SDBH to you וְֽאֶת־ SDBH - רֵעֶ֥יךָ SDBH and to your friends עִמָּֽךְ׃ as well

I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

5

הַבֵּ֣ט SDBH Look שָׁמַ֣יִם SDBH to the heavens וּרְאֵ֑ה SDBH and see וְשׁ֥וּר SDBH gaze שְׁ֝חָקִ֗ים SDBH at the clouds גָּבְה֥וּ SDBH high מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ above you

Look unto Shomayim, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

6

אִם־ SDBH If חָ֭טָאתָ SDBH you sin מַה־ SDBH what תִּפְעָל־ SDBH do you accomplish בּ֑וֹ against Him וְרַבּ֥וּ SDBH If you multiply פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗יךָ SDBH your transgressions מַה־ SDBH what תַּעֲשֶׂה־ SDBH do you do לּֽוֹ׃ to Him

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? Or if thy peysha'im be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?

7

אִם־ SDBH If צָ֭דַקְתָּ SDBH you are righteous מַה־ SDBH what תִּתֶּן־ do you give ל֑וֹ Him א֥וֹ SDBH or מַה־ SDBH what מִיָּדְךָ֥ SDBH from your hand יִקָּֽח׃ SDBH does He receive

If thou be tzaddik (righteous), what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thine yad?

8

לְאִישׁ־ SDBH affects only a man כָּמ֥וֹךָ SDBH like yourself רִשְׁעֶ֑ךָ SDBH Your wickedness וּלְבֶן־ SDBH only a son אָ֝דָ֗ם SDBH of man צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ SDBH and your righteousness

Thy resha (wickedness) may hurt an ish as thou art; and thy tzedek may profit the ben adam.

9

מֵ֭רֹב under great עֲשׁוּקִ֣ים SDBH oppression יַזְעִ֑יקוּ SDBH Men cry out יְשַׁוְּע֖וּ SDBH they plead for relief מִזְּר֣וֹעַ SDBH from the arm רַבִּֽים׃ SDBH of the mighty

They cry out under a load of oppression; they plead for relief from the zero'a of the rabbim.

10

וְֽלֹא־ SDBH But no אָמַ֗ר SDBH one asks אַ֭יֵּה SDBH Where [is] אֱל֣וֹהַּ SDBH G-d עֹשָׂ֑י SDBH my Maker נֹתֵ֖ן who gives us זְמִר֣וֹת SDBH songs בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃ SDBH in the night

But none saith, Where is Eloah Osai (G-d my Maker), Who giveth zemirot balailah (songs in the night);

11

מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ SDBH who teaches us מִבַּהֲמ֣וֹת SDBH more than the beasts אָ֑רֶץ SDBH of the earth וּמֵע֖וֹף SDBH than the birds הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם SDBH of the air יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ׃ SDBH and makes us wiser

Who teacheth us more than the behamot eretz, and maketh us wiser than the oph HaShomayim?

12

שָׁ֣ם SDBH There יִ֭צְעֲקוּ SDBH they cry out וְלֹ֣א SDBH but He does not יַעֲנֶ֑ה SDBH answer מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י because of גְּא֣וֹן SDBH the pride רָעִֽים׃ SDBH of evil men

There they cry out, but none giveth answer, because of the ga'on (pride, arrogance) of ra'im (wicked men).

13

אַךְ־ SDBH Surely שָׁ֭וְא SDBH to empty pleas לֹא־ SDBH does not יִשְׁמַ֥ע׀ SDBH listen אֵ֑ל SDBH G-d וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י SDBH and the Almighty לֹ֣א SDBH does not יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃ SDBH take note of it

Surely El will not hear shav (vanity), neither will Shaddai regard it.

14

אַ֣ף SDBH How much less כִּֽי־ then, when תֹ֭אמַר SDBH you say לֹ֣א SDBH that you do not תְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ SDBH see Him דִּ֥ין SDBH that your case לְ֝פָנָ֗יו is before Him וּתְח֥וֹלֵֽל SDBH and you must wait לֽוֹ׃ for Him

Although thou sayest thou cannot see Him, yet Din (the court case) is before Him; therefore trust thou, waiting for Him,

15

וְעַתָּ֗ה SDBH and further כִּי־ that אַ֭יִן SDBH vvv פָּקַ֣ד SDBH He has not punished אַפּ֑וֹ SDBH [in] His anger וְלֹֽא־ SDBH [or] יָדַ֖ע SDBH taken much notice בַּפַּ֣שׁ SDBH of folly מְאֹֽד׃ . . .

though ye say His anger does not pakad (visit, punish) anything and that He does not regard wickedness much;

16

וְ֭אִיּוֹב SDBH So Job הֶ֣בֶל SDBH in vain יִפְצֶה־ SDBH opens פִּ֑יהוּ SDBH his mouth בִּבְלִי־ SDBH without דַ֝֗עַת SDBH knowledge מִלִּ֥ין SDBH words יַכְבִּֽר׃פ SDBH and multiplies

Therefore doth Iyov open his mouth hevel (in vain); he multiplieth words without da'as.
