1 “I karath (cut) a barayath (covenant) with my iyan (eye), how then should I bayan (between) lustfully at a young bathawalah (woman)?
2 For what is the chalaq (portion) from Alawah () mail (top/above), and the nachalah (heritage) from the Shaday () on marawam (high)?
3 Is it not ayad (calamity) to the iwal (unrighteous), and disaster to the pailay (workers) of awan (iniquity)?
4 Doesn't he raah (see / saw) my darak (ways), and sapar (book) all my tzaid (steps)?
5 “If I have halak (move) with falsehood, and my ragal (feet / foot) has hurried to maramah (deceit)
6 (Let me be shaqal (weighed) in an even maazan (balance), that Alawah () may yadai (know) my thamah (integrity));
7 If my ashar (who/that) has natah (turned) out of the darak (way), if my lab (heart) halak (move) achar (other) my iyan (eye), if any defilement has dabaq (stuck) to my kap (hands),
8 Then let me zarai (sow), and let achar (other) akal (eat). Yes, let the produce of my field be sharash (rooted) out.
9 “If my lab (heart) has been pathah (enticed) to a ayashah (woman / wife), and I have arab (laid) wait at my neighbor's pathach (door),
10 Then let my ayashah (woman / wife) tachan (grind) for achar (other), and let others sleep with her.
11 For that would be a zamah (heinous) crime. Yes, it would be an iwan (guilt/iniquity) to be punished by the palayalayam (judges):
12 For it is a ash (fire) that akal (eat) to abadawan (destruction), and would sharash (root) out all my thabawaah (increase).
13 “If I have maas (despised) the cause of my male amah (servant) or of my female servant, when they rayab (contended) with me;
14 What then shall I ishah (make) when Al qawam (rise up) up? When he paqad (visit), what shall I shawab (turn) him?
15 Didn't he who ishah (make) me in the batan (womb) ishah (make) him? Didn't achad (one) kawan (fashion) us in the racham (show mercy / love)?
16 “If I have withheld the dal (poor) from their chapatz (desire), or have caused the iyanay (eyes) of the alamanah (widow) to kalah (complete / finish),
17 Or have akal (eat) my path (morsel) alone, and the yathawam (fatherless) has not akal (eat) of it
18 (No, from my naiwar (youth) he gadal (grew) up with me as with a ab (father), her have I nachah (guided) from my am (mother) batan (womb));
19 If I raah (see / saw) seen any abad (destroy / perish) for want of labawash (clothing), or that the abayawan (needy) had no kasawath (covering);
20 If his chalatz (heart) hasn't barak (blessed) me, if he hasn't been chamam (warmed) with my kabash (sheep's) gaz (fleece);
21 If I have nawap (lifted) up my yad (hand) against the yathawam (fatherless), because I raah (see / saw) my izarah (help) in the shair (gate),
22 Then napal (fall / be cast down) my shoulder fall from the shakamah (shoulder) blade, and my azarawai (arm) be shabar (broken) from the qanah (bone).
23 For ayad (calamity) from Al is a pachad (fear / dread) to me. Because his majesty, I yakal (can) do nothing.
24 “If I have shawam (place / establish / appoint) zahab (gold) my kasal (hope), and have amar (said) to the katham (fine) gold, ‘You are my mabatach (confidence);’
25 If I shamach (have) rejoiced because my wealth was rab (great), and because my yad (hand) matzaa (had) gotten much;
26 If I raah (see / saw) seen the awar (light) when it shined, or the yarach (moon) halak (move) in splendor,
27 And my lab (heart) has been secretly pathah (enticed), and my yad (hand) threw a nashaq (kiss) from my pah (mouth),
28 This also would be an iwan (guilt/iniquity) to be punished by the palayalay (judges); for I should have kachash (denied) the Al who is mail (top/above).
29 “If I shamach (have) rejoiced at the payad (destruction) of him who shanaa (hate) me, or iwar (rouse / awaken) up myself when rai (evil) matzaa (found) him;
30 (Yes, I nathan (give) not allowed my chak (mouth) to chataa (sin) by shaal (asking) his napash (soul) with a alah (these));
31 If the mathay (men) of my ahal (tent) have not amar (said), ‘Who can find one who shabai (has) not been filled with his meat?’
32 (The foreigner has not lawan (lodged) in the chawatz (street), but I pathach (have) opened my dalath (doors) to the traveler);
33 If like Adam (Adam) I have kasah (covered) my pashai (transgressions), by taman (hiding) my iwan (guilt/iniquity) in my chab (heart),
34 Because I iratz (feared) the rab (great) hamawan (multitude), and the bawaz (contempt) of mashapachawath (families) chathath (terrified) me, so that I damam (kept) silence, and didn't yatzaa (go out / come out) out of the pathach (door)—
35 Oh that I had one to shamai (hearken / hear) me! (Behold, here is my signature, let the Shaday () inah (answer / respond) me); let the accuser kathab (write) my indictment!
36 Surely I would nashaa (lift) it on my shakam (shoulder); and I would inad (bind) it to me as a itarah (crown).
37 I would nagad (declare) to him the masapar (number) of my tzaid (steps). As a nagayad (prince) would I qarab (come close) near to him.
38 If my adamah (land) zaiq (cries) out against me, and its thalam (furrows) bakah (weep) together;
39 If I have akal (eat) its kach (strength / mighty / power) without kasap (money), or bail (have) caused its owners to napach (lose) their napash (soul),
40 Let briars yatzaa (go out / come out) instead of chatah (wheat), and stinkweed instead of shairah (barley).” The dabaray (words) of Ayawab (Job) are thamam (ended).
