Job 11
1 Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
| آنگاه صوفر نعماتی پاسخ داد: |
2 “(Should no one answer all that you have said?/Someone should certainly answer all that you have said.) [RHQ] Just because you talk a lot, (should that cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong)?/that should not cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong).) [RHQ]
| آیا به این همه سخنان بی‌معنی نباید پاسخ گفت؟ آیا کسی با پرحرفی می‌تواند خود را تبرئه کند؟ |
3 Job, (should your babbling cause us to be silent?/your babbling should certainly not cause us to be silent.) [RHQ] When you make fun of us, shall no one [rebuke you and] cause you to be ashamed?
| ای ایوب، آیا فکر می‌کنی ما نمی‌توانیم جواب تو را بدهیم؟ وقتی که خدا را مسخره می‌کنی، آیا کسی نباید تو را شرمنده سازد؟ |
4 You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
| ادعا می‌کنی که سخنانت درست است و در نظر خدا پاک هستی! |
5 But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
| ای کاش خدا صحبت می‌کرد و می‌گفت که نظرش دربارهٔ تو چیست. |
6 God knows everything about everything, so I wish/desire that he would tell you the secrets that he knows because he is wise. But you need to know that God is punishing you less than you deserve!
| ای کاش اسرار حکمتش را بر تو آشکار می‌کرد، زیرا حکمت او ورای درک انسان است. بدان که خدا کمتر از آنچه که سزاوار بوده‌ای تو را تنبیه کرده است. |
7 [“Tell me], will you ever be able to find out the things about God that are very difficult to understand? Will you be able to find out everything that there is to know about Almighty God?
| آیا تو می‌توانی اسرار خدای قادر مطلق را درک کنی؟ آیا می‌توانی عمق‌های او را کشف کنی؟ |
8 [What there is to know about God] is greater than [the distance from earth to] heaven; so there is no way [RHQ] that you can [understand it all]. It is greater than [the distance from here to] the place of the dead; so it is impossible for you [RHQ] to know it all. (Sheol h7585)
| آنها بلندتر از آسمانهاست؛ تو کی هستی؟ و عمیقتر از هاویه؛ تو چه می‌دانی؟ (Sheol h7585) |
9 What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
| طول آنها از زمین دراز‌تر است، و عرض آنها از دریا وسیع‌تر. |
10 “If God comes to you and puts you in prison and then brings you to a court, (who can stop him?/no one can stop him.) [RHQ]
| وقتی خدا کسی را می‌گیرد و محاکمه می‌کند، کیست که با او مخالفت کند؟ |
11 He knows which people are worthless; and when he sees people doing wicked things, (will he ignore it?/he will certainly not ignore it!) [RHQ]
| زیرا او خوب می‌داند چه کسی گناهکار است و از شرارت انسان آگاه می‌باشد. |
12 Stupid people [like you] will start to become wise [SAR] when wild donkeys [stop giving birth to wild donkeys and] start giving birth to tame donkeys.
| دانا شدن مرد نادان همانقدر غیرممکن است که خر وحشی انسان بزاید! |
13 “Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
| حال دل خود را پاک کن و دستهایت را به سوی خدا برافراز؛ |
14 If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
| گناهانت را از خود دور کن و از بدی دست بردار؛ |
15 If you do what I have said, surely you will lift up your head because you will not be ashamed; you will be strong, and not afraid [of anything].
| آنگاه چهره‌ات از بی‌گناهی خواهد درخشید و با جرأت و اطمینان زندگی خواهی کرد. |
16 You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
| تمام سختیهای خود را فراموش خواهی کرد و از آنها همچون آب رفته یاد خواهی نمود. |
17 [Your troubles will be ended, like the darkness ends] at the dawn; [it will be as though] [MET] the sun is shining brightly on you, like [it shines] at noon.
| زندگی تو از آفتاب نیمروز درخشانتر خواهد شد و تیرگی زندگیت مانند صبح روشن خواهد گشت. |
18 You will feel safe/secure, because you will confidently expect [that good things will happen to you]; God will protect you and enable you to rest safely [each night].
| در زندگی امید و اطمینان خواهی داشت و خدا به تو آرامش و امنیت خواهد بخشید. |
19 You will lie down, and no one will cause you to be afraid. And many people will come and request you to do things for them.
| از دشمنان ترسی نخواهی داشت و بسیاری دست نیاز به سوی تو دراز خواهند کرد. |
20 But wicked people [SYN] will not be able to understand [why bad things are happening to them]; they will not have any way to escape [from their troubles]. The only thing that they will want to do is to die. [EUP]”
| اما چشمان شریران تار خواهد شد و برای آنها راه فراری نخواهد بود و تنها امیدشان مرگ خواهد بود. |
