Job 27
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
Jobs sluttal (Kap 27-31)
27 Job fortsatte sin framställning. Han sade:
2 (A) Så sant Gud lever,
han som undanhållit mig min rätt,
den Allsmäktige
som har förbittrat min själ:
3 Så länge min ande är i mig
och Guds livsande i min näsa,
4 ska mina läppar inte tala orätt
eller min tunga tala svek.
5 Aldrig ger jag er rätt,
till min död vidhåller jag
min oskuld.
6 (B) Jag håller fast vid min rättfärdighet
och släpper den inte.
Mitt hjärta förebrår mig inte
för någon av mina dagar.
7 Låt min fiende stå som den skyldige,
min motståndare som orättfärdig.
8 (C) För vad har den gudlöse för hopp
när livet skärs av,
när Gud tar hans själ?
9 (D) Kommer Gud att höra hans rop
när nöden drabbar honom?
10 Kan han glädja sig
över den Allsmäktige?
Kan han ständigt åkalla Gud?
11 Jag vill lära er om Guds hand,
den Allsmäktiges tankar
vill jag inte dölja.
12 Ni har ju själva alla sett det,
varför kommer ni då
med tomt prat?
13 Detta är den gudlöses lott hos Gud,
det arv som våldsverkaren
får av den Allsmäktige:
14 (E) Får han många barn
ska de falla för svärd,
hans avkomlingar får inte
mätta sig med bröd.
15 De som undkommer
läggs i graven av pest
och deras änkor gråter inte
över dem.
16 Även om han samlar silver som stoft
och lägger kläder på hög
som lera,
17 (F) så får de rättfärdiga klä sig
i det han har samlat,
och silvret får de oskyldiga dela.
18 Han bygger sitt hus som en mal,
likt en hydda[a] som väktaren
gör åt sig.
19 Rik går han till sängs,
och sedan aldrig mer –
när han öppnar sina ögon
är allt borta.
20 Fasorna griper honom
som vattenmassor,
stormen rycker bort honom i natten.
21 Östanvinden lyfter honom
och han är borta,
den sveper i väg honom
från hans plats.
22 Den vräker sig mot honom
utan förskoning,
han försöker fly för dess kraft.
23 (G) Den klappar sina händer[b] mot honom
och visslar åt honom
från hans plats.
Job 27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 Job continued his discourse, saying:
2 As God lives, who has deprived me of justice,(A)
and the Almighty who has made me bitter,(B)
3 as long as my breath is still in me
and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,(C)
4 my lips will not speak unjustly,
and my tongue will not utter deceit.
5 I will never affirm that you are right.
I will maintain my integrity[a](D) until I die.
6 I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go.
My conscience(E) will not accuse me as long as I live!
7 May my enemy be like the wicked
and my opponent like the unjust.
8 For what hope does the godless man(F) have when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?(G)
9 Will God hear his cry
when distress comes on him?
10 Will he delight(H) in the Almighty?
Will he call on God at all times?
11 I will teach you about God’s power.
I will not conceal what the Almighty has planned.[b]
12 All of you have seen this for yourselves,
why do you keep up this empty talk?(I)
13 This is a wicked man’s lot(J) from God,
the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14 Even if his children increase, they are destined for the sword;
his descendants will never have enough food.
15 Those who survive him will be buried by the plague,
yet their widows will not weep for them.(K)
16 Though he piles up silver like dust
and heaps up a wardrobe like clay—
17 he may heap it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and the innocent will divide up his silver.(L)
18 The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon
or a booth set up by a watchman.(M)
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;
when he opens his eyes, it is gone.
20 Terrors overtake him like a flood;(N)
a storm(O) wind sweeps him away at night.
21 An east wind picks him up, and he is gone;
it carries him away from his place.
22 It blasts at him without mercy,
while he flees desperately from its grasp.
23 It claps(P) its hands at him
and scorns him from its place.
Job 27
King James Version
27 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
