Job 13
1 “Hey, I [SYN] have seen everything [that you have seen], and I have heard and understood all [that you have said].
| من آنچه را که شما می‌گویید به چشم خود دیده و به گوش خود شنیده‌ام. من حرفهای شما را می‌فهمم. آنچه را که شما می‌دانید من نیز می‌دانم و کمتر از شما نیستم. |
2 What you know, I also know; I do (not know less than/know as much as) you.
3 But I would like to speak to Almighty God, [not to you]; I would like to argue with him [and prove that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong]).
| ای کاش می‌توانستم مستقیم با خدای قادر مطلق سخن گویم و با خود او بحث کنم. |
4 As for you, you do not allow people to know the truth about me, like someone covers [up a bad surface of a wall] with whitewash [MET]. You are all like doctors [MET] [that give people] useless [medicines].
| و اما شما، درد مرا با دروغهایتان می‌پوشانید. شما طبیبان کاذب هستید. |
5 I wish/desire that you would be silent; that would be the wisest thing that you [could do].
| اگر حکمت داشتید حرف نمی‌زدید. |
6 Listen to what I will say to you now; listen while I am saying [what is true about myself].
| حال به من گوش بدهید و به دلایلم توجه نمایید. |
7 Are you telling lies about me to prove God [is just in causing me to suffer]? Are you saying what is deceitful in order to benefit him?
| آیا مجبورید به جای خدا حرف بزنید و چیزهایی را که او هرگز نگفته است از قول او بیان کنید؟ |
8 Are you trying to defend him? Are you trying to prove [as you would] in a court that he is innocent?
| می‌خواهید به طرفداری از او حقیقت را وارونه جلوه دهید؟ آیا فکر می‌کنید او نمی‌داند شما چه می‌کنید؟ خیال می‌کنید می‌توانید خدا را هم مثل انسان گول بزنید؟ |
9 If he looks closely, will he find that everything that you have done is good? Or can you deceive him, like you deceive other people?
10 If you secretly say/do things to cause God to act favorably toward you, he will surely rebuke you.
| بدانید شما را توبیخ خواهد کرد، اگر پنهانی طرفداری کنید. |
11 He will certainly [RHQ] cause you to be terrified by his power/greatness; you will become extremely afraid.
| آیا عظمت و هیبت خدا، ترسی به دل شما نمی‌اندازد؟ |
12 The things that you say [that you think are] wise are [as useless as] [MET] as ashes; what you say to defend your opinions is no better than [MET] clay [that quickly crumbles].
| بیانات شما پشیزی ارزش ندارد. استدلال‌هایتان چون دیوار گلی، سست و بی‌پایه است. |
13 “So, be quiet and allow me to speak, and then it will not matter what happens to me.
| حال ساکت باشید و بگذارید من سخن بگویم. هر چه می‌خواهد بشود! |
14 I am ready to endure anything; I am [even] willing to risk being executed [IDM, DOU] [for what I will say].
| بله، جانم را در کف می‌نهم و هر چه در دل دارم می‌گویم. |
15 If God kills me, then I will not have anyone else whom I can confidently expect to help me, but I am going to defend my behavior in his presence [anyway].
| اگر خدا برای این کار مرا بکشد، باز به او امیدوار خواهم بود و حرفهای خود را به او خواهم زد. |
16 No wicked/godless person would dare to stand in the presence of God, [but because I say that I have not done things that are wrong], perhaps, if I can prove that to God, he will save me.”
| من آدم شروری نیستم، پس با جرأت به حضور خدا می‌روم شاید این باعث نجاتم گردد. |
17 “God, listen very carefully to what I say [DOU].
| حال به دقت به آنچه که می‌گویم گوش دهید و حرفهایم را بشنوید. |
18 I am ready to prove that I am innocent, and I know that you also will declare that I am not guilty.
| دعوی من این است: «من می‌دانم که بی‌تقصیرم.» |
19 I certainly do not think [RHQ] that [you or anyone else] will say that what I say is not true; if anyone did that, I would (be silent/stop talking) and die.
| کیست که در این مورد بتواند با من بحث کند؟ اگر بتوانید ثابت نمایید که من اشتباه می‌کنم، آنگاه از دفاع خود دست می‌کشم و می‌میرم. |
20 “I am requesting you to do two things for me; if you do them, I will (not hide from you/come and stand in front of you) [LIT].
| ای خدا، اگر این دو درخواست مرا اجابت فرمایی در آن صورت خواهم توانست با تو روبرو شوم: |
21 [The first thing that I request is that you] stop punishing [IDM] me; and [the second thing that I request is that you] stop causing me to be very terrified.
| مرا تنبیه نکن و مرا با حضور مهیب خود به وحشت نیانداز. |
22 You speak [first], and then I will reply; or allow me to speak first, and [then] you reply.
| آنگاه وقتی مرا بخوانی جواب خواهم داد و با هم گفتگو خواهیم نمود. |
23 What have I done that is wrong? What sins have I committed? Show me how I have disobeyed you.
| حال، به من بگو که چه خطایی کرده‌ام؟ گناهم را به من نشان بده. |
24 Why (do you refuse to be friendly with/have you abandoned) me [IDM]? Why do you (act toward me as though I am/consider me to be) your enemy?
| چرا روی خود را از من برمی‌گردانی و مرا دشمن خود می‌شماری؟ |
25 I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a leaf that is blown by the wind; why are you trying to cause me to be afraid [RHQ]? Why are you pursuing me? Am I [useless, nothing more than a bit of] dry chaff [RHQ]?
| آیا برگی را که از باد رانده شده است می‌ترسانی؟ آیا پر کاه را مورد هجوم قرار می‌دهی؟ |
26 [It seems that] you are writing things to accuse me [of doing things that are wrong], even recalling bad things that I did when I was young.
| تو اتهامات تلخی بر من وارد می‌آوری و حماقت‌های جوانی‌ام را به رخ من می‌کشی. |
27 [It is as though] you have fastened my feet with chains [to prevent me from walking], and you watch me wherever I walk; [It is as though] you even look closely at my footprints [to see where I have gone].
| مرا محبوس می‌کنی و تمام درها را به رویم می‌بندی. در نتیجه مانند درختی افتاده و لباسی بید خورده، می‌پوسم و از بین می‌روم. |
28 [As a result], my body is decaying like [SIM] rotten wood, like a piece of cloth that is eaten by [larvae of] moths.”
