Jób 11
1 A odpovídaje Zofar Naamatský, řekl:
Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
2 Zdaliž k mnohým slovům nemá odpovědíno býti? Aneb zdali člověk mnohomluvný práv zůstane?
“(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]
3 Žváním svým lidi zaměstknáváš, a posmíváš se, aniž jest, kdo by tě zahanbil.
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?
4 Nebo jsi řekl: Èisté jest učení mé, a čist jsem, ó Bože, před očima tvýma.
You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
5 Ješto, ó kdyby Bůh mluvil, a otevřel rty své proti tobě,
But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
6 Aťby oznámil tajemství moudrosti, že dvakrát většího trestání zasloužil jsi. A věz, že se Bůh zapomněl na tebe pro nepravost tvou.
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!
7 Zdaliž ty stižitelnosti Boží dosáhneš, aneb dokonalost Všemohoucího vystihneš?
[“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?
[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)
9 Delší jest míra její než země, a širší než moře.
What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
10 Bude-li pléniti neb zavírati aneb ssužovati, kdo se na něj bude domlouvati?
“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]
11 Poněvadž zná lidskou marnost, a vidí nepravost, což by tomu rozuměti neměl?
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]
12 Tak aby muž nesmyslný nabyl rozumu, ačkoli člověk jest jako hřebec z divokého osla zplozený.
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.
13 Jestliže ty nastrojíš srdce své, a ruce své k němu vztáhneš;
“Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
14 Byla-li by nepravost v ruce tvé, vzdal ji od sebe, aniž dopouštěj bydliti v staních svých nešlechetnosti:
If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
15 Tedy jistě pozdvihneš tváři své z poškvrny, a budeš nepohnutý, aniž se báti budeš.
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].
16 Nebo se na těžkost zapomeneš, na niž jako na vody, kteréž pominuly, zpomínati budeš.
You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
17 K tomu nad poledne jasný nastaneť čas; zatmíš-li se pak, jitru podobný budeš.
[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.
18 Budeš i mysli doufanlivé, maje naději; stánek roztáhneš, i bezpečně spáti budeš.
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].
19 A tak v pokoji budeš, aniž tě kdo předěsí, a mnozí tváři tvé kořiti se budou.
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.
20 Oči pak bezbožných zkaženy budou, a utíkání jim zhyne; nadto naděje jejich bude jako dchnutí člověka.
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]”
