Job 12
1 Then Job said [to his three friends],
| پس ایوب در جواب گفت: | ۱ |
2 “You (talk as though/You think) [SAR] that you are the people [whom everyone should listen to], and that when you die, there will be no more wise people.
| «به درستی که شما قوم هستید، و حکمت با شما خواهد مرد. | ۲ |
3 But I have as much good sense as you do; I am (not less wise than/certainly as wise as [LIT]) you. Certainly everyone knows [RHQ] all that you have said.
| لیکن مرا نیز مثل شما فهم هست، و از شما کمتر نیستم. و کیست که مثل این چیزها را نمی داند؟ | ۳ |
4 My friends all laugh at me now. Previously I habitually requested God to help me, and he answered/helped me. I am righteous, a very godly man [DOU], but everyone laughs at me.
| برای رفیق خود مسخره گردیده‌ام. کسی‌که خدا را خوانده است و او رامستجاب فرموده، مرد عادل و کامل، مسخره شده است. | ۴ |
5 Those [like you] who have no troubles make fun of me; they cause those [like me] who are already suffering to have more troubles.
| در افکار آسودگان، برای مصیبت اهانت است. مهیا شده برای هرکه پایش بلغزد. | ۵ |
6 Bandits live peacefully, and no one threatens those who cause God to become angry; their own strength is the god [that they worship].
| خیمه های دزدان به سلامت است و آنانی که خدا را غضبناک می‌سازند ایمن هستند، که خدای خود را در دست خود می‌آورند. | ۶ |
7 “But ask the wild animals [what they know about God], and [if they could speak] they would teach you. [If you could] ask the birds, they would tell you.
| «لیکن الان از بهایم بپرس و تو را تعلیم خواهند داد. و از مرغان هوا و برایت بیان خواهندنمود. | ۷ |
8 [If you could] ask the creatures [that crawl] on the ground, or the fish in the sea, they would tell you [about God].
| یا به زمین سخن بران و تو را تعلیم خواهدداد، و ماهیان دریا به تو خبر خواهند رسانید. | ۸ |
9 All of them certainly know [RHQ] that it is Yahweh who has made them with his hands.
| کیست که از جمیع این چیزها نمی فهمد که دست خداوند آنها را به‌جا آورده است، | ۹ |
10 He directs the lives of all living creatures; he gives breath to all [us] humans [to enable us to remain alive].
| که جان جمیع زندگان در دست وی است، و روح جمیع افراد بشر؟ | ۱۰ |
11 And when we [SYN] hear what other people [like you] say, we [RHQ] think carefully about what they say [to determine what is good and what is bad], like we [SYN] taste food [to determine what is good and what is bad].
| آیا گوش سخنان رانمی آزماید، چنانکه کام خوراک خود رامی چشد؟ | ۱۱ |
12 Old people are [often] very wise, and because of having lived many years, they understand much,
| نزد پیران حکمت است، و عمردراز فطانت می‌باشد. | ۱۲ |
13 but God is wise and very powerful; he has good sense and understands [everything].
| لیکن حکمت و کبریایی نزد وی است. مشورت و فطانت از آن او است. | ۱۳ |
14 If he tears [something] down, no one can rebuild it; if he puts someone in prison, no one can open [the prison doors to allow that person to escape].
| اینک او منهدم می‌سازد و نمی توان بنا نمود. انسان را می‌بندد و نمی توان گشود. | ۱۴ |
15 When he prevents rain from falling, everything dries up. When he causes a lot of rain to fall, [the result is that] there are floods.
| اینک آبهارا باز می‌دارد و خشک می‌شود، و آنها را رهامی کند و زمین را واژگون می‌سازد. | ۱۵ |
16 He is the one who is truly strong and wise; he rules over those who deceive others and those whom they deceive.
| قوت ووجود نزد وی است. فریبنده و فریب خورده از آن او است. | ۱۶ |
17 He [sometimes] causes [the king’s] officials to no longer be wise, and he causes judges to become foolish.
| مشیران را غارت زده می‌رباید، وحاکمان را احمق می‌گرداند. | ۱۷ |
18 He takes from kings the robes that they wear and puts loincloths around their waists, [causing them to become slaves].
| بند پادشاهان را می گشاید و در کمر ایشان کمربند می‌بندد. | ۱۸ |
19 He takes from priests the sacred clothes that they wear, [with the result that they no longer can do their work], and takes power from those who rule others.
| کاهنان را غارت زده می‌رباید، و زورآوران راسرنگون می‌سازد. | ۱۹ |
20 He [sometimes] causes those whom others trust to be unable to speak, and he causes old men to no longer have good sense.
| بلاغت معتمدین را نابودمی گرداند، و فهم پیران را برمی دارد. | ۲۰ |
21 He causes those who have authority to be despised, and he causes those who are powerful to no longer have any power/strength.
| اهانت رابر نجیبان می‌ریزد و کمربند مقتدران را سست می‌گرداند. | ۲۱ |
22 He causes things that are hidden in the darkness to be revealed.
| چیزهای عمیق را از تاریکی منکشف می‌سازد، و سایه موت را به روشنایی بیرون می‌آورد. | ۲۲ |
23 He causes some nations to become very great, and [later] he destroys them; he causes the territory of some nations to become much larger, and [later] he causes them to be defeated and their people to be scattered.
| امت‌ها را ترقی می‌دهد و آنهارا هلاک می‌سازد، امت‌ها را وسعت می‌دهد وآنها را جلای وطن می‌فرماید. | ۲۳ |
24 He causes [some] rulers to become foolish/stupid, and then he causes them to wander around, lost, in an barren desert.
| عقل روسای قوم های زمین را می‌رباید، و ایشان را در بیابان آواره می‌گرداند، جایی که راه نیست. | ۲۴ |
25 They grope around in the darkness, without any light, and he causes them to stagger like [SIM] people who are drunk.”
| درتاریکی کورانه راه می‌روند و نور نیست. و ایشان را مثل مستان افتان و خیزان می‌گرداند. | ۲۵ |
