Job 15
1 Then Eliphaz replied to Job:
| آنگاه الیفاز تیمانی پاسخ داد: |
2 “If you were truly wise [RHQ], you would not have replied to us by claiming that you know a lot; what you are saying is just a lot of hot air [MET].
| ای ایوب، فکر می‌کردیم آدم عاقلی هستی، ولی سخنان احمقانه‌ای به زبان می‌آوری. حرفهای تو پوچ و توخالی است. |
3 You should not [RHQ] be saying things that do not benefit anyone, using words that do no one any good.
| هیچ آدم حکیمی با این حرفهای پوچ از خود دفاع نمی‌کند. |
4 [By what you say, ] you show that you do not revere God, and you are hindering people from meditating/thinking about God.
| مگر از خدا نمی‌ترسی؟ مگر برای او احترامی قائل نیستی؟ |
5 [It is as though] your sins are telling you what to say; you talk like people who will not admit that they are wicked.
| حرفهای تو گناهانت را آشکار می‌سازد. تو با حیله و نیرنگ صحبت می‌کنی. |
6 Everything that you say [MTY] shows that you should be punished; so, it is not necessary for me to show that.
| لازم نیست من تو را محکوم کنم، چون دهان خودت تو را محکوم می‌کند. |
7 [“Tell me do you know more than everyone else because you think that] you are the first person who was ever born? [SAR, RHQ] Were you born before the hills [were created]?
| آیا تو داناترین شخص روی زمین هستی؟ آیا تو قبل از ساخته شدن کوهها وجود داشته‌ای و از نقشه‌های مخفی خدا باخبر بوده‌ای؟ آیا حکمت در انحصار توست؟ |
8 Were you listening when God made all his plans? [SAR, RHQ] Or do you think that you are the only person who is wise?
9 (What do you know that we do not know?/You do not know anything that we do not know.) [RHQ] You do not understand [RHQ] anything that is not also clear to us.
| تو چه چیزی بیشتر از ما می‌دانی؟ تو چه می‌فهمی که ما نمی‌فهمیم؟ |
10 My friends and I are also wise; we acquired [wisdom] from old gray-haired people, from people who were born before your father was born.
| در میان ما ریش‌سفیدانی هستند که سنشان از پدر تو هم بیشتر است! |
11 God wants to comfort you, and to speak gently/kindly to you; (is that not enough for you/do you need more than that)?
| آیا تسلی خدا برای تو کم است که آن را رد می‌کنی؟ ما از طرف خدا با ملایمت با تو سخن گفتیم. |
12 Why do you allow yourself to be (carried away/excited) by your emotions? Why are [you very angry, with the result that] your eyes flash?
| ولی تو به هیجان آمده‌ای و چشمانت از شدت عصبانیت برق می‌زنند. |
13 You are angry [IDM] with God, and so you [MTY] are criticizing/denouncing him.
| تو بر ضد خدا سخن می‌گویی. |
14 “(How can any person, [including you, ] be sinless?/No person, [including you], can be sinless.) [RHQ] (How can anyone on the earth be [completely] righteous?/No one on the earth can be [completely] righteous.) [RHQ]
| بر روی تمام زمین کدام انسانی می‌تواند آنقدر پاک و خوب باشد که تو ادعا می‌کنی که هستی؟ |
15 Hey, God does not even trust his angels; he does not consider even them to be [completely] pure.
| خدا حتی به فرشتگان خود نیز اعتماد ندارد! در نظر او حتی آسمانها نیز پاک نیستند، |
16 So, he certainly does not [trust] abominable/disgusting and depraved/corrupt people who do evil things [as easily] as they drink water [MET].
| چه رسد به انسان گناهکار و فاسد که شرارت را مثل آب سر می‌کشد. |
17 Job, listen to what I will tell you. I will declare to you what I know,
| حال، به حقایقی که به تجربه یاد گرفته‌ام گوش بده. من این حقایق را از خردمندان یاد گرفته‌ام. پدران ایشان نیز همین حقایق را به آنها آموختند و چیزی از آنها مخفی نداشتند، و در سرزمینشان بیگانگانی نبودند که آنها را از راه خدا منحرف سازند: |
18 things that wise men have told me, truths that their ancestors did not keep hidden.
19 God gave this land to those ancestors, who were truly wise; no one from another country caused them to think wrongly [IDM].
20 It is wicked people who suffer with great pain all the time that they are alive; that is what happens to those who (oppress/act violently toward) others.
| مرد شریر تمام عمرش در زحمت است. |
21 They constantly hear sounds that terrify them; while they are prospering, bandits attack them.
| صداهای ترسناک در گوش او طنین می‌اندازد و زمانی که خیال می‌کند در امان است، ناگهان غارتگران بر او هجوم می‌آورند. |
22 Wicked people surely know that they will not escape from darkness/death, because [they are sure that someone] is waiting to kill them with a sword.
| در تاریکی جرأت نمی‌کند از خانه‌اش بیرون برود، چون می‌ترسد کشته شود. |
23 They wander around, searching for food, saying ‘Where can I find some?’ And they know that they will soon experience disasters.
| به دنبال نان، این در و آن در می‌زند و امیدی به آینده ندارد. |
24 Because they are afraid of those things happening to them, they are afraid and worry that these things will come to them like [the army of] a king comes to attack [their enemies and cause them to suffer] [SIM].
| مصیبت و بدبختی مانند پادشاهی که آمادهٔ جنگ است، او را به وحشت می‌اندازد و بر او غلبه می‌کند، |
25 [Those things happen to them] because they (shook their fists/dared to fight) against Almighty God, and thought that they were strong enough to defeat him.
| زیرا او مشت خود را بر ضد خدای قادر مطلق گره کرده، او را به مبارزه می‌طلبد، |
26 They stubbornly [IDM] rush to attack God [as though they were carrying] a strong shield [to protect themselves].
| و گستاخانه سپر ضخیم خود را به دست گرفته، به سوی او حمله‌ور می‌شود. |
27 They are so fat [that they are unable to fight].
| مرد شرور هر چند ثروتمند باشد، ولی عاقبت در شهرهای ویران و خانه‌های متروک و در حال فرو ریختن سکونت خواهد کرد |
28 They will live in cities that have been abandoned, cities which have become a heap of ruins.
29 But they will not remain rich very long; Everything that they own will be taken from them; their possessions will all disappear.
| و تمام ثروتش بر باد خواهد رفت. |
30 They will not escape from the darkness [of death]; they will be like trees whose branches are burned by fire and whose blossoms are blown away by the wind.
| تاریکی برای همیشه او را فرا خواهد گرفت. نفس خدا او را از بین خواهد برد و شعله‌های آتش، دار و ندار او را خواهد سوزانید. |
31 Since they are very foolish, with the result that they trust in things that are really worthless, then things that are worthless will be all that they get.
| پس بهتر است با تکیه کردن به آنچه که ناپایدار و فانی است خود را گول نزند، زیرا این کار ثمری ندارد. |
32 Before they are old, they will wither; they will be like [MET] branches that wither and never become green again.
| قبل از آنکه بمیرد، بیهودگی تمام چیزهایی که بر آنها تکیه می‌کرد برایش آشکار خواهد شد، زیرا تمام آنها نیست و نابود خواهند شد. |
33 They will be like [SIM] vines whose grapes fall off before they are ripe, like olive trees whose blossoms fall off before they produce any fruit.
| او مانند درخت انگوری که میوه‌اش قبل از رسیدن پلاسیده و مثل درخت زیتونی که شکوفه‌هایش ریخته باشد، بی‌ثمر خواهد بود. |
34 Wicked/godless people will not have any descendants, and fires will completely burn up the homes of [those who built those homes using] money they received from bribes.
| اشخاص خدانشناس، بی‌کس خواهند ماند و خانه‌هایی که با رشوه ساخته‌اند در آتش خواهد سوخت. |
35 They plan to cause trouble and to do evil things, and they are always preparing to deceive people.”
| وجود این اشخاص از شرارت پر است و آنها غیر از گناه و نیرنگ چیزی به بار نمی‌آورند. |
