MODERN HEBREW BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ויסף איוב שאת משלו ויאמר1 Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
2 מי יתנני כירחי קדם כימי אלוה ישמרני2 Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?
3 בהלו נרו עלי ראשי לאורו אלך חשך3 When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?
4 כאשר הייתי בימי חרפי בסוד אלוה עלי אהלי4 As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?
5 בעוד שדי עמדי סביבותי נערי5 When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?
6 ברחץ הליכי בחמה וצור יצוק עמדי פלגי שמן6 When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?
7 בצאתי שער עלי קרת ברחוב אכין מושבי7 When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?
8 ראוני נערים ונחבאו וישישים קמו עמדו8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.
9 שרים עצרו במלים וכף ישימו לפיהם9 The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.
10 קול נגידים נחבאו ולשונם לחכם דבקה10 The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.
11 כי אזן שמעה ותאשרני ועין ראתה ותעידני11 The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me:
12 כי אמלט עני משוע ויתום ולא עזר לו12 Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless that had no helper.
13 ברכת אבד עלי תבא ולב אלמנה ארנן13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow.
14 צדק לבשתי וילבשני כמעיל וצניף משפטי14 I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem.
15 עינים הייתי לעור ורגלים לפסח אני15 I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.
16 אב אנכי לאביונים ורב לא ידעתי אחקרהו16 I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.
17 ואשברה מתלעות עול ומשניו אשליך טרף17 I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.
18 ואמר עם קני אגוע וכחול ארבה ימים18 And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.
19 שרשי פתוח אלי מים וטל ילין בקצירי19 My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.
20 כבודי חדש עמדי וקשתי בידי תחליף20 My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.
21 לי שמעו ויחלו וידמו למו עצתי21 They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.
22 אחרי דברי לא ישנו ועלימו תטף מלתי22 To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them.
23 ויחלו כמטר לי ופיהם פערו למלקוש23 They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.
24 אשחק אלהם לא יאמינו ואור פני לא יפילון24 If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.
25 אבחר דרכם ואשב ראש ואשכון כמלך בגדוד כאשר אבלים ינחם25 If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned.
