Iov 5
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Nelegiuitul piere
5 Strigă acum! Cine îţi va răspunde?
Căruia dintre sfinţi îi vei vorbi?
2 Nebunul piere ucis de mânia lui,
prostul moare ucis de aprinderea lui.
3 Am(A) văzut pe un nebun prinzând rădăcină;
apoi, deodată, i-am blestemat locuinţa.
4 Fiii(B) lui n-au noroc,
sunt călcaţi în picioare la poartă,
şi nimeni(C) nu-i scapă!
5 Secerişul lui este mâncat de cei flămânzi,
care vin să-l ia chiar şi din spini,
şi averile lui sunt înghiţite de oameni(D) însetaţi.
6 Nenorocirea nu răsare din ţărână,
şi suferinţa nu încolţeşte din pământ.
7 Omul se naşte(E) ca să sufere,
după cum scânteia se naşte ca să zboare.
Ajutorul este la Dumnezeu
8 Eu aş alerga la Dumnezeu,
lui Dumnezeu I-aş spune necazul meu.
9 El face lucruri(F) mari şi nepătrunse,
minuni fără număr.
10 El varsă ploaia(G) pe pământ
şi trimite apă pe câmpii.
11 El înalţă(H) pe cei smeriţi
şi izbăveşte pe cei necăjiţi.
12 El nimiceşte(I) planurile oamenilor vicleni,
şi mâinile lor nu pot să le împlinească.
13 El prinde(J) pe cei înţelepţi în viclenia lor,
şi planurile oamenilor înşelători sunt răsturnate:
14 dau peste întuneric în mijlocul(K) zilei,
bâjbâie ziua nămiaza mare ca noaptea.
15 Astfel, Dumnezeu ocroteşte pe cel slab împotriva ameninţărilor lor
şi-l scapă(L) din mâna celor puternici.
16 Aşa(M) încât nădejdea sprijină pe cel nenorocit,
iar fărădelegea îşi închide gura.
La adăpostul lui Dumnezeu
17 Ferice(N) de omul pe care-l ceartă Dumnezeu!
Nu nesocoti mustrarea Celui Atotputernic.
18 El face(O) rana şi tot El o leagă;
El răneşte şi mâna Lui tămăduieşte.
19 De şase(P) ori te va izbăvi din necaz
şi de şapte(Q) ori nu te va atinge răul.
20 El te va scăpa de moarte în vreme de foamete(R)
şi de loviturile sabiei în vreme de război.
21 Vei fi la adăpost de biciul(S) limbii,
vei fi fără teamă când va veni pustiirea.
22 Vei râde de pustiire, ca şi de foamete,
şi nu vei avea să te temi de fiarele(T) pământului.
23 Căci vei face legământ până şi cu pietrele(U) câmpului,
şi fiarele pământului vor fi în pace cu tine.
24 Vei avea fericire în cortul tău,
îţi vei găsi turmele întregi,
25 îţi vei vedea sămânţa(V) crescându-ţi
şi odraslele înmulţindu-se ca iarba de pe câmp.
26 Vei intra în mormânt la bătrâneţe(W), ca snopul strâns la vremea lui.
27 Iată ce am cercetat(X), şi aşa este!
Ascultă, că sunt spre folosul tău!”
Job 5
King James Version
5 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
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)

Job 5
English Standard Version
5 “Call now; is there anyone who will answer you?
To which of (A)the holy ones will you turn?
2 Surely vexation kills the fool,
and jealousy slays the simple.
3 (B)I have seen the fool taking root,
but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
4 His children are (C)far from safety;
they are crushed in (D)the gate,
and there is no one to deliver them.
5 The hungry eat his harvest,
and he takes it even out of thorns,[a]
and the thirsty pant[b] after his[c] wealth.
6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 but man is (E)born to trouble
as the sparks fly upward.
8 “As for me, I would seek God,
and to God would I commit my cause,
9 who (F)does great things and (G)unsearchable,
(H)marvelous things without number:
10 he gives (I)rain on the earth
and sends waters on the fields;
11 he (J)sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He (K)frustrates the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
13 He (L)catches the wise in their own craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
and (M)grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he (N)saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope,
and (O)injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold, (P)blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore (Q)despise not the discipline of the (R)Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he (S)binds up;
he (T)shatters, but his hands heal.
19 He will (U)deliver you from six troubles;
in seven no (V)evil[d] shall touch you.
20 (W)In famine he will redeem you from death,
and in war from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be (X)hidden from the lash of the tongue,
and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh,
and shall not fear (Y)the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field,
and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your (Z)tent is at peace,
and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.
25 You shall know also that your (AA)offspring shall be many,
and your descendants as (AB)the grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in (AC)ripe old age,
like a sheaf gathered up in its season.
27 Behold, this we have (AD)searched out; it is true.
Hear, and know it for your good.”[e]
