Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Bowendien het Job sy gelykenis voortgesit, en gesê,
King James Version
AFR DVK
2
[As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;
So waar as God lewe, wat my oordeel weggeneem het; en die Almagtige, wat my siel bitter gemaak het;
3
All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
Al die tyd terwyl my asem in my is, en die gees van God in my neusgate;
4
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
Sal my lippe nie ongeregtigheid spreek nie, en my tong geen bedrog uitspreek nie.
5
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
God verhoed dat ek julle sou regverdig: totdat ek sterwe, sal ek my opregtheid nie van my af wegneem nie.
6
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
My geregtigheid hou ek vas, en sal dit nie laat vaar nie: my hart sal my nie verwyt solank as ek lewe nie.
7
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
Laat my vyand soos die goddelose wees, en hy wat teen my opstaan soos die onregverdige.
8
For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
Want wat is die hoop van die skynheilige, al het hy gewin, wanneer God sy siel wegneem?
9
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Sal God sy geroep hoor wanneer benoudheid op hom kom?
10
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
Sal hy homself in die Almagtige verlustig? sal hy altyd God aanroep?
11
I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Ek sal julle deur die hand van God onderrig: dit wat by die Almagtige is, sal ek nie verberg nie.
12
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it]; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
Kyk, julle almal het dit self gesien; waarom is julle dan heeltemal ydele?
13
This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
Dit is die deel van ‚'n goddelose man by God, en die erfenis van verdrukkers, wat hulle van die Almagtige sal ontvang.
14
If his children be multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
As sy kinders vermeerder, is dit vir die swaard: en sy nageslag sal nie met brood versadig word nie.
15
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
Dié wat van hom oorbly, sal in die dood begrawe word: en sy weduwees sal nie ween nie.
16
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
Al hoop hy silwer soos stof, en berei klere soos die klei;
17
He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
Hy mag dit berei, maar die regverdige sal dit aantrek, en die onskuldige sal die silwer verdeel.
18
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.
Hy bou sy huis soos ‚'n mot, en soos ‚'n skuilplek wat die wagter maak.
19
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.
Die ryk man sal in sy bed lê, maar hy sal nie bymekaargemaak word nie: hy maak sy oë oop, en hy is nie.
20
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
Verskrikkinge neem hom soos waters weg, ‚'n storm steel hom weg in die nag.
21
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
Die oostewind dra hom weg, en hy vertrek: en as ‚'n storm neem dit hom uit sy plek.
22
For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
Want God sal dit op hom werp, en nie spaar nie: hy sou graag uit sy hand wil vlug.
23
[Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Manne sal hulle hande oor hom klap, en hom uit sy plek uitfluit.
