Job 15
1 Then Eliphaz replied to Job:
Temanlı Elifaz şöyle yanıtladı:
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].
“Bilge kişi boş sözlerle yanıtlar mı, Karnını doğu rüzgarıyla doldurur mu?
3 You should not [RHQ] be saying things that do not benefit anyone, using words that do no one any good.
Boş sözlerle tartışır, Yararsız söylevler verir mi?
4 [By what you say, ] you show that you do not revere God, and you are hindering people from meditating/thinking about God.
Tanrı korkusunu bile ortadan kaldırıyor, Tanrı'nın huzurunda düşünmeyi engelliyorsun.
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.
Çünkü suçun ağzını kışkırtıyor, Hilekârların diliyle konuşuyorsun.
6 Everything that you say [MTY] shows that you should be punished; so, it is not necessary for me to show that.
Kendi ağzın seni suçluyor, ben değil, Dudakların sana karşı tanıklık ediyor.
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]?
“İlk doğan insan sen misin? Yoksa dağlardan önce mi var oldun?
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?
Tanrı'nın sırrını mı dinledin de, Yalnız kendini bilge görüyorsun?
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.
Senin bildiğin ne ki, biz bilmeyelim? Senin anladığın ne ki, bizde olmasın?
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.
Bizde ak saçlı da yaşlı da var, Babandan bile yaşlı.
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)?
Az mı geliyor Tanrı'nın avutması sana, Söylediği yumuşak sözler?
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?
Niçin yüreğin seni sürüklüyor, Gözlerin parıldıyor,
13 You are angry [IDM] with God, and so you [MTY] are criticizing/denouncing him.
Tanrı'ya öfkeni gösteriyorsun, Ağzından böyle sözler dökülüyor?
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]
“İnsan gerçekten temiz olabilir mi? Kadından doğan biri doğru olabilir mi?
15 Hey, God does not even trust his angels; he does not consider even them to be [completely] pure.
Tanrı meleklerine güvenmiyorsa, Gökler bile O'nun gözünde temiz değilse,
16 So, he certainly does not [trust] abominable/disgusting and depraved/corrupt people who do evil things [as easily] as they drink water [MET].
Haksızlığı su gibi içen İğrenç, bozuk insana mı güvenecek?
17 Job, listen to what I will tell you. I will declare to you what I know,
“Dinle beni, sana açıklayayım, Gördüğümü anlatayım,
18 things that wise men have told me, truths that their ancestors did not keep hidden.
Bilgelerin atalarından öğrenip bildirdiği, Gizlemediği gerçekleri;
19 God gave this land to those ancestors, who were truly wise; no one from another country caused them to think wrongly [IDM].
O atalar ki, ülke yalnız onlara verilmişti, Aralarına henüz yabancı girmemişti.
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.
Kötü insan yaşamı boyunca kıvranır, Zorbaya ayrılan yıllar sayılıdır.
21 They constantly hear sounds that terrify them; while they are prospering, bandits attack them.
Dehşet sesleri kulağından eksilmez, Esenlik içindeyken soyguncunun saldırısına uğrar.
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.
Karanlıktan kurtulabileceğine inanmaz, Kılıç onu gözler.
23 They wander around, searching for food, saying ‘Where can I find some?’ And they know that they will soon experience disasters.
‘Nerede?’ diyerek ekmek ardınca dolaşır, Karanlık günün yanıbaşında olduğunu bilir.
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].
Acı ve sıkıntı onu yıldırır, Savaşa hazır bir kral gibi onu yener.
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.
Çünkü Tanrı'ya el kaldırmış, Her Şeye Gücü Yeten'e meydan okumuş,
26 They stubbornly [IDM] rush to attack God [as though they were carrying] a strong shield [to protect themselves].
Kalın, yumrulu kalkanıyla O'na inatla saldırmıştı.
27 They are so fat [that they are unable to fight].
“Yüzü semirdiği, Göbeği yağ bağladığı halde,
28 They will live in cities that have been abandoned, cities which have become a heap of ruins.
Yıkılmış kentlerde, Taş yığınına dönmüş oturulmaz evlerde oturacak,
29 But they will not remain rich very long; Everything that they own will be taken from them; their possessions will all disappear.
Zengin olmayacak, serveti tükenecek, Malları ülkeye yayılmayacaktır.
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.
Karanlıktan kaçamayacak, Filizlerini alev kurutacak, Tanrı'nın ağzından çıkan solukla yok olacaktır.
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.
Boş şeye güvenerek kendini aldatmasın, Çünkü ödülü de boş olacaktır.
32 Before they are old, they will wither; they will be like [MET] branches that wither and never become green again.
Gününden önce işi tamamlanacak, Dalı yeşermeyecektir.
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.
Asma gibi koruğunu dökecek, Zeytin ağacı gibi çiçeğini dağıtacaktır.
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.
Çünkü tanrısızlar sürüsü kısır olur, Rüşvetçilerin çadırlarını ateş yakıp yok eder.
35 They plan to cause trouble and to do evil things, and they are always preparing to deceive people.”
Fesada gebe kalıp kötülük doğururlar, İçleri yalan doludur.”
