Gióp 34
Kinh Thánh Bản Truyền Thống ⇄ NET Bible
Elihu answered:
“Listen to my words, you wise men; hear me, you learned men.
For the ear assesses words as the mouth tastes food.
Let us evaluate for ourselves what is right; let us come to know among ourselves what is good.
PendalamanMishpat — sự công bình của tôi — Trong tiếng Hơ-bơ-rơ, "sự xét xử" là mishpat — một thuật ngữ pháp lý có nghĩa là một phiên điều trần công bằng hoặc chính nghĩa. Gióp đang nói rằng Đức Chúa Trời đã tước bỏ quyền được minh oan của ông tại tòa.For Job says, ‘I am innocent, but God turns away my right.
Concerning my right, should I lie? My wound is incurable, although I am without transgression.’
What man is like Job, who drinks derision like water!
He goes about in company with evildoers, he goes along with wicked men.
PendalamanTrích dẫn lời Gióp — Ê-li-hu đang tóm tắt lời phàn nàn trước đó của Gióp rằng việc phụng sự Đức Chúa Trời chẳng đem lại lợi lộc gì — xem Gióp 21:15, nơi Gióp cũng nói điều tương tự. Ông coi đó là một thái độ nguy hiểm, chứ không phải là sự hiểu lầm.(JOB 21:15)For he says, ‘It does not profit a man when he makes his delight with God.’
PendalamanMột thành ngữ mạnh mẽ — "Far be it" dịch từ từ chalilah trong tiếng Hơ-bơ-rơ, một lời phản đối kiên quyết và cung kính có nghĩa là "Đức Chúa Trời chớ làm thế" hoặc "thật không thể tưởng tượng được." Ê-li-hu dùng từ này để nhấn mạnh rằng Đức Chúa Trời không thể nào là Đấng bất nghĩa.“Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, from the Almighty to do evil.
For he repays a person for his work, and according to the conduct of a person, he causes the consequences to find him.
Indeed, in truth, God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
Who entrusted to him the earth? And who put him over the whole world?
PendalamanHơi thở của sự sống — Đây là một hình ảnh nổi bật: nếu Ngài rút lại thần linh và hơi thở mà Ngài đã ban cho, thì mọi người sẽ trở về bụi đất (Sáng-thế Ký 2:7). Sự tồn tại của chúng ta, ngay cả trong khoảnh khắc này, đều do Ngài duy trì.(GEN 2:7)If God were to set his heart on it, and gather in his spirit and his breath,
all flesh would perish together and human beings would return to dust.
“If you have understanding, listen to this, hear what I have to say.
Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely righteous One,
who says to a king, ‘Worthless man’ and to nobles, ‘Wicked men,’
who shows no partiality to princes, and does not take note of the rich more than the poor, because all of them are the work of his hands?
In a moment they die, in the middle of the night, people are shaken and they pass away. The mighty are removed effortlessly.
For his eyes are on the ways of an individual, he observes all a person’s steps.
PendalamanKhông có nơi nào che khuất — Mắt của Đức Chúa Trời ở khắp mọi nơi, ngay cả ở những nơi tối tăm nhất. Điều này phản ánh Thi-thiên 139:12, nơi chép rằng trước mặt Ngài, bóng tối cũng sáng như ban ngày và không có điều gì có thể che giấu được.(PSA 139:12)There is no darkness, and no deep darkness, where evildoers can hide themselves.
For he does not still consider a person, that he should come before God in judgment.
He shatters the great without inquiry, and sets up others in their place.
Therefore, he knows their deeds, he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
He strikes them for their wickedness, in a place where people can see,
because they have turned away from following him, and have not understood any of his ways,
so that they caused the cry of the poor to come before him, so that he hears the cry of the needy.
But if God is quiet, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, then who can see him? Yet he is over the individual and the nation alike,
so that the godless man should not rule, and not lay snares for the people.
“Has anyone said to God, ‘I have endured chastisement, but I will not act wrongly any more.
Teach me what I cannot see. If I have done evil, I will do so no more.’
Is it your opinion that God should recompense it, because you reject this? But you must choose, and not I, so tell us what you know.
Men of understanding say to me – any wise man listening to me says –
that Job speaks without knowledge and his words are without understanding.
But Job will be tested to the end, because his answers are like those of wicked men.
For he adds transgression to his sin; in our midst he claps his hands, and multiplies his words against God.”
