Hiob 5
Luther Bibel 1545
5 Rufe doch! was gilts, ob einer dir antworte? Und an welchen von den Heiligen willst du dich wenden?
2 Einen Toren aber erwürgt wohl der Unmut, und den Unverständigen tötet der Eifer.
3 Ich sah einen Toren eingewurzelt, und ich fluchte plötzlich seinem Hause.
4 Seine Kinder werden fern sein vom Heil und werden zerschlagen werden im Tor, da kein Erretter sein wird.
5 Seine Ernte wird essen der Hungrige und auch aus den Hecken sie holen, und sein Gut werden die Durstigen aussaufen.
6 Denn Mühsal aus der Erde nicht geht und Unglück aus dem Acker nicht wächst;
7 sondern der Mensch wird zu Unglück geboren, wie die Vögel schweben, emporzufliegen.
8 Ich aber würde zu Gott mich wenden und meine Sache vor ihn bringen,
9 der große Dinge tut, die nicht zu erforschen sind, und Wunder, die nicht zu zählen sind:
10 der den Regen aufs Land gibt und läßt Wasser kommen auf die Gefilde;
11 der die Niedrigen erhöht und den Betrübten emporhilft.
12 Er macht zunichte die Anschläge der Listigen, daß es ihre Hand nicht ausführen kann;
13 er fängt die Weisen in ihrer Listigkeit und stürzt der Verkehrten Rat,
14 daß sie des Tages in der Finsternis laufen und tappen am Mittag wie in der Nacht.
15 Er hilft den Armen von dem Schwert, von ihrem Munde und von der Hand des Mächtigen,
16 und ist des Armen Hoffnung, daß die Bosheit wird ihren Mund müssen zuhalten.
17 Siehe, selig ist der Mensch, den Gott straft; darum weigere dich der Züchtigung des Allmächtigen nicht.
18 Denn er verletzt und verbindet; er zerschlägt und seine Hand heilt.
19 Aus sechs Trübsalen wird er dich erretten, und in der siebenten wird dich kein Übel rühren:
20 in der Teuerung wird er dich vom Tod erlösen und im Kriege von des Schwertes Hand;
21 Er wird dich verbergen vor der Geißel Zunge, daß du dich nicht fürchtest vor dem Verderben, wenn es kommt;
22 im Verderben und im Hunger wirst du lachen und dich vor den wilden Tieren im Lande nicht fürchten;
23 sondern sein Bund wird sein mit den Steinen auf dem Felde, und die wilden Tiere im Lande werden Frieden mit dir halten.
24 Und du wirst erfahren, daß deine Hütte Frieden hat, und wirst deine Behausung versorgen und nichts vermissen,
25 und wirst erfahren, daß deines Samens wird viel werden und deine Nachkommen wie das Gras auf Erden,
26 und wirst im Alter zum Grab kommen, wie Garben eingeführt werden zu seiner Zeit.
27 Siehe, das haben wir erforscht und ist also; dem gehorche und merke du dir's.
Job 5
New King James Version
Eliphaz: Job Is Chastened by God
5 “Call out now;
Is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 For wrath kills a foolish man,
And envy slays a simple one.
3 (A)I have seen the foolish taking root,
But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
4 His sons are (B)far from safety,
They are crushed in the gate,
And (C)there is no deliverer.
5 Because the hungry eat up his harvest,
[a]Taking it even from the thorns,
[b]And a snare snatches their [c]substance.
6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble spring from the ground;
7 Yet man is (D)born to [d]trouble,
As the sparks fly upward.
8 “But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—
9 Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.
10 (E)He gives rain on the earth,
And sends waters on the fields.
11 (F)He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 (G)He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
13 He catches the (H)wise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
15 But (I)He saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
16 (J)So the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold,(K) happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18 (L)For He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole.
19 (M)He shall deliver you in six troubles,
Yes, in seven (N)no evil shall touch you.
20 (O)In famine He shall redeem you from death,
And in war from the [e]power of the sword.
21 (P)You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 You shall laugh at destruction and famine,
And (Q)you shall not be afraid of the (R)beasts of the earth.
23 (S)For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your tent is in peace;
You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
25 You shall also know that (T)your descendants shall be many,
And your offspring (U)like the grass of the earth.
26 (V)You shall come to the grave at a full age,
As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.
27 Behold, this we have (W)searched out;
It is true.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
Job 5
New International Version
5 “Call if you will, but who will answer you?(A)
To which of the holy ones(B) will you turn?
2 Resentment(C) kills a fool,
and envy slays the simple.(D)
3 I myself have seen(E) a fool taking root,(F)
but suddenly(G) his house was cursed.(H)
4 His children(I) are far from safety,(J)
crushed in court(K) without a defender.(L)
5 The hungry consume his harvest,(M)
taking it even from among thorns,
and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground.(N)
7 Yet man is born to trouble(O)
as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God;
I would lay my cause before him.(P)
9 He performs wonders(Q) that cannot be fathomed,(R)
miracles that cannot be counted.(S)
10 He provides rain for the earth;(T)
he sends water on the countryside.(U)
11 The lowly he sets on high,(V)
and those who mourn(W) are lifted(X) to safety.
12 He thwarts the plans(Y) of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.(Z)
13 He catches the wise(AA) in their craftiness,(AB)
and the schemes of the wily are swept away.(AC)
14 Darkness(AD) comes upon them in the daytime;
at noon they grope as in the night.(AE)
15 He saves the needy(AF) from the sword in their mouth;
he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.(AG)
16 So the poor(AH) have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.(AI)
17 “Blessed is the one whom God corrects;(AJ)
so do not despise the discipline(AK) of the Almighty.[a](AL)
18 For he wounds, but he also binds up;(AM)
he injures, but his hands also heal.(AN)
19 From six calamities he will rescue(AO) you;
in seven no harm will touch you.(AP)
20 In famine(AQ) he will deliver you from death,
and in battle from the stroke of the sword.(AR)
21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue,(AS)
and need not fear(AT) when destruction comes.(AU)
22 You will laugh(AV) at destruction and famine,(AW)
and need not fear the wild animals.(AX)
23 For you will have a covenant(AY) with the stones(AZ) of the field,
and the wild animals will be at peace with you.(BA)
24 You will know that your tent is secure;(BB)
you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing.(BC)
25 You will know that your children will be many,(BD)
and your descendants like the grass of the earth.(BE)
26 You will come to the grave in full vigor,(BF)
like sheaves gathered in season.(BG)
