ایّوب 9
| پس ایوب در جواب گفت: | ۱ 1 |
Then Job replied,
| «یقین می‌دانم که چنین است. لیکن انسان نزد خدا چگونه عادل شمرده شود؟ | ۲ 2 |
“Yes, I certainly know that [much of] what you said is true. But (how can anyone say to God, ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it?’/no one can say to God ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it.’) [RHQ]
| اگر بخواهد با وی منازعه نماید، یکی از هزار او را جواب نخواهد داد. | ۳ 3 |
If someone wanted to argue with God [about that], God could ask him 1,000 questions, and that person would not be able to answer any of them!
| اودر ذهن حکیم و در قوت تواناست. کیست که با اومقاومت کرده و کامیاب شده باشد؟ | ۴ 4 |
God is very wise [IDM] and very powerful; no one who has tried to challenge God has been able to win.
| آنکه کوههارا منتقل می‌سازد و نمی فهمند، و در غضب خویش آنها را واژگون می‌گرداند، | ۵ 5 |
He even moves mountains, without them (OR, anyone) knowing about it. When he is angry, he turns them upside down.
| که زمین را ازمکانش می‌جنباند، و ستونهایش متزلزل می‌شود. | ۶ 6 |
He sends earthquakes that shake the ground; he causes the pillars that support the earth to tremble.
| که آفتاب را امر می‌فرماید و طلوع نمی کند وستارگان را مختوم می‌سازد. | ۷ 7 |
[Some days] he speaks to the sun, and it does not rise, and [some nights] he prevents the stars from shining.
| که به تنهایی، آسمانها را پهن می‌کند و بر موجهای دریامی خرامد. | ۸ 8 |
He alone (stretched out/put in place) the sky; he alone puts his feet on the waves (OR, on the huge sea monster).
| که دب اکبر و جبار و ثریا را آفرید، و برجهای جنوب را | ۹ 9 |
He put in their places [the clusters/groups of stars that are called] The Dipper/Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars in the southern sky.
| که کارهای عظیم بی‌قیاس را می‌کند و کارهای عجیب بی‌شمار را. | ۱۰ 10 |
Only he does great things that we cannot understand; he does more marvelous things than we are able to count.
| اینک از من می‌گذرد و او را نمی بینم، و عبور می‌کند واو را احساس نمی نمایم. | ۱۱ 11 |
He passes by where I am, but I do not see him; he moves further on, but I do not see him go.
| اینک او می‌رباید وکیست که او را منع نماید؟ و کیست که به او تواندگفت: چه می‌کنی؟ | ۱۲ 12 |
If he [wants to] snatch something away, no one [RHQ] can hinder him; no one dares to ask him, ‘Why are you doing that?’ [RHQ]
| خدا خشم خود را بازنمی دارد و مددکاران رحب زیر او خم می‌شوند. | ۱۳ 13 |
God will not very easily stop being angry; he defeated [MTY] those who [tried to] help Rahab, [the great sea monster].
| «پس به طریق اولی، من کیستم که او راجواب دهم و سخنان خود را بگزینم تا با اومباحثه نمایم؟ | ۱۴ 14 |
“So, [if God took me to court], what could I say [MTY] to answer him?
| که اگر عادل می‌بودم، او راجواب نمی دادم، بلکه نزد داور خود استغاثه می‌نمودم. | ۱۵ 15 |
Even though I (would be innocent/would not have done what is wrong), I would not be able to answer him. All I could do would be to request God, my judge/accuser, to act mercifully toward me.
| اگر او را می‌خواندم و مرا جواب می‌داد، باور نمی کردم که آواز مرا شنیده است. | ۱۶ 16 |
If I summoned him to [come to the courtroom] and he said that he would come, I would not believe that he would pay attention to what I would say.
| زیرا که مرا به تندبادی خرد می‌کند و بی‌سبب، زخمهای مرا بسیار می‌سازد. | ۱۷ 17 |
He sends storms to batter me, and he bruises me many times (without any reason to do that/even though I am innocent).
| مرا نمی گذارد که نفس بکشم، بلکه مرا به تلخیها پر می‌کند. | ۱۸ 18 |
[It is as though] he will not let me get/catch my breath, because he causes me to suffer all the time.
| اگردرباره قوت سخن گوییم، اینک او قادر است؛ واگر درباره انصاف، کیست که وقت را برای من تعیین کند؟ | ۱۹ 19 |
If I would try to (wrestle with/fight against) him, [there is no way that I could defeat him, ] [because] he is stronger than I am. If I would request him to appear in court, there is no one who could [RHQ] force him to go there.
| اگر عادل می‌بودم دهانم مرا مجرم می‌ساخت، و اگر کامل می‌بودم مرا فاسق می‌شمرد. | ۲۰ 20 |
Even though I was innocent, what I would say would cause him to say that I must be punished [MTY]; even though I had not done anything wrong, he would prove that I am guilty.
| اگر کامل هستم، خویشتن رانمی شناسم، و جان خود را مکروه می‌دارم. | ۲۱ 21 |
“I have not done what is wrong, but that is not important. I despise continuing to remain alive.
| این امر برای همه یکی است. بنابراین می‌گویم که اوصالح است و شریر را هلاک می‌سازد. | ۲۲ 22 |
But it doesn’t matter, because God will get rid of [all of us, ] both those who are innocent and those who are wicked.
| اگرتازیانه ناگهان بکشد، به امتحان بی‌گناهان استهزامی کند. | ۲۳ 23 |
When people experience disaster and it causes them to suddenly die, God laughs at it, even if they are innocent.
| جهان به‌دست شریران داده شده است و روی حاکمانش را می‌پوشاند. پس اگر چنین نیست، کیست که می‌کند؟ | ۲۴ 24 |
God has allowed wicked people to control [what happens in] the world. [It is as though] he has caused judges to be blindfolded, [with the result that they cannot judge fairly]. If it is not God who has put wicked people in control, who has done it?
| و روزهایم از پیک تیزرفتار تندروتر است، می‌گریزد و نیکویی رانمی بیند. | ۲۵ 25 |
“My days go by very quickly, like a fast runner; [it is as though] they run away, and nothing good happens to me on those days.
| مثل کشتیهای تیزرفتار می‌گریزد و مثل عقاب که بر شکار فرود آید. | ۲۶ 26 |
My life goes by very rapidly, like a boat made from reeds sailing swiftly, or like an eagle that swoops down to seize a small animal.
| اگر فکر کنم که ناله خود را فراموش کنم و ترش رویی خود رادور کرده، گشاده رو شوم، | ۲۷ 27 |
If I smile and say [to God], ‘I will forget what I am complaining about; I will stop looking sad and try to be cheerful/happy,’
| از تمامی مشقتهای خود می‌ترسم و می‌دانم که مرا بی‌گناه نخواهی شمرد، | ۲۸ 28 |
then I become afraid because of all that I am suffering, because I know that God does not consider that I am innocent.
| چونکه ملزم خواهم شد. پس چرا بیجازحمت بکشم؟ | ۲۹ 29 |
He will (condemn me/declare that I should be punished), so why should I keep trying in vain [to defend myself]?
| اگر خویشتن را به آب برف غسل دهم، و دستهای خود را به اشنان پاک کنم، | ۳۰ 30 |
If I washed myself with snow or cleansed my hands with lye/soap [to get rid of my guilt],
| آنگاه مرا در لجن فرو می‌بری، و رختهایم مرامکروه می‌دارد. | ۳۱ 31 |
he would still throw me into a filthy pit; as a result [it would be as though] even my clothes would detest me.
| زیرا که او مثل من انسان نیست که او را جواب بدهم و با هم به محاکمه بیاییم. | ۳۲ 32 |
“God is not a human, as I am, so there is no way that I could answer him [to prove that I am innocent] if we went together to have a trial [in a courtroom].
| در میان ما حکمی نیست که بر هر دوی مادست بگذارد. | ۳۳ 33 |
There is no one to (mediate/hear us and decide who is right), no one who has authority over both of us [IDM].
| کاش که عصای خود را از من بردارد، و هیبت او مرا نترساند. | ۳۴ 34 |
I wish/desire that he would stop punishing [MTY] me, and that he would not continue to terrify me.
| آنگاه سخن می‌گفتم و از او نمی ترسیدم، لیکن من در خودچنین نیستم. | ۳۵ 35 |
If he did that, I would declare [that I am innocent] without being afraid of him, because I know that I really have not [done what is wrong like God thinks that I have].”
