Job 19
1 Then Job replied:
| آنگاه ایوب پاسخ داد: |
2 “How long will you [three] torment me and crush my spirit by saying to me [that I am wicked]?
| تا به کی می‌خواهید عذابم بدهید و با سخنانتان مرا خرد کنید؟ |
3 You have already insulted me many [HYP] times; (are you not ashamed for saying these things to me?/you should be ashamed for saying these things to me.) [RHQ]
| پی‌درپی به من اهانت می‌کنید و از این رفتارتان شرم نمی‌کنید. |
4 Even if it were true that I have done things that are wrong, I have not injured you!
| اگر من خطا کرده‌ام، خطای من چه صدمه‌ای به شما زده است؟ |
5 If you truly think that you are better than I am, and you think that my being miserable now proves that I (am guilty/have committed many sins),
| شما خود را بهتر از من می‌پندارید و این مصیبت مرا نتیجهٔ گناه من می‌دانید، |
6 you need to realize that it is God who has caused me to suffer. [It is as though] he has trapped me with his net.
| در حالی که این خداست که مرا به چنین روزی انداخته و در دام خود گرفتار کرده است. |
7 “I cry out, ‘Help me!’, but no one answers me. I call out loudly, but there is no one, [not even God, ] who acts fairly toward me.
| فریاد برمی‌آورم و کمک می‌خواهم، اما هیچ‌کس صدایم را نمی‌شنود و کسی به فریادم نمی‌رسد. |
8 [It is as though] [MET] God has blocked my way, with the result that I cannot go where I want to; [it is as though] he has forced me to try to find my way in the darkness.
| خدا راهم را سد کرده و روشنایی مرا به تاریکی مبدل نموده است. |
9 He has (taken away my good reputation/caused people not to honor me any more); [it is as though] he removed [MET] a crown from my head.
| او عزت و فخر را از من گرفته |
10 He batters me from every side, and I will soon die. He has caused me to no longer confidently expect [him to do good things for me].
| و از هر طرف مرا خرد کرده است. او مرا از پا درآورده و درخت امیدم را از ریشه برکنده است. |
11 He attacks me because he is extremely angry with me [MET], and he considers that I am his enemy.
| خشم او علیه من شعله‌ور است و او مرا دشمن خود به حساب می‌آورد. |
12 [It is as though] he sends his army to attack me; they surround my tent, preparing to attack me.
| لشکریانش به پیش می‌تازد و بر ضد من سنگر می‌سازند، و گرداگردِ خیمه‌ام اردو می‌زنند. |
13 “God has caused my brothers to abandon me, and all those who know me act like strangers to me.
| برادرانم را از من دور کرده است، و آشنایانم بر ضد من برخاسته‌اند. |
14 All my relatives and good friends have left me.
| بستگانم از من روگردانیده و همهٔ دوستانم مرا ترک گفته‌اند. |
15 The people who were guests in my house have forgotten me, and my female servants consider that I am a stranger or that I am a foreigner.
| اهل خانه و حتی خدمتکارانم با من مانند یک غریبه رفتار می‌کنند و من برای آنها بیگانه شده‌ام. |
16 When I summon my servants, they do not answer; I plead with them to come [to help me, but they do not come].
| خدمتکارم را صدا می‌کنم، حتی به او التماس می‌نمایم، ولی او جوابم را نمی‌دهد. |
17 My wife does not want to come close to me because my breath [smells very bad], and even my brothers detest me.
| نَفَسم برای زنم مشمئزکننده است، و برادرانم طاقت تحمل مرا ندارند. |
18 Even young children despise me; when I stand up [to talk to them], they laugh at me.
| بچه‌های کوچک هم مرا خوار می‌شمارند و وقتی مرا می‌بینند مسخره‌ام می‌کنند. |
19 My dearest friends detest me, and those whom I love [very much] have turned against me.
| حتی نزدیکترین دوستانم از من منزجرند و آنانی که دوستشان می‌داشتم از من روگردان شده‌اند. |
20 My body is [only] skin and bones; I am barely alive [IDM].
| از من پوست و استخوانی بیش نمانده است، به زحمت از چنگ مرگ گریخته‌ام. |
21 [“I plead with] you, my [three] friends, pity me, because God has (struck [EUP] me with his hand/caused me to suffer greatly).
| آه ای دوستان، به من رحم کنید، زیرا دست خدا بر من سنگین شده است. |
22 Why do you cause me to suffer like God does? Why do you continue to slander [MET] me?
| چرا شما هم مثل خدا مرا عذاب می‌دهید؟ آیا از خوردن گوشت بدنم سیر نشده‌اید؟ |
23 “I wish/desire that someone would take these words of mine and write them permanently in a book [in order that people can read them].
| ای کاش می‌توانستم درد دلم را با قلمی آهنین برای همیشه در دل سنگ بنویسم. |
24 Or else, I wish that he would carve them on a rock with (a chisel/an iron tool) in order that they would last forever.
25 But I know that the one who vindicates/defends me in court is alive, and that some day he will stand [here] on the earth [and make the final decision about whether I deserve to be punished].
| اما من می‌دانم که رهاننده‌ام زنده است و سرانجام بر زمین خواهد ایستاد؛ |
26 And even after diseases have eaten away my skin, while I still have my body, I will see God.
| و می‌دانم حتی بعد از اینکه بدن من هم بپوسد، خدا را خواهم دید! |
27 I will see him myself; I will see him with my own eyes! I am overwhelmed [as I think about that]!
| من خود با این چشمانم او را خواهم دید! چه امید پرشکوهی! |
28 “If you three men say, ‘What more can we do to cause Job to suffer?’ and if you say, ‘He has caused his own [troubles],’
| چطور جرات می‌کنید به آزار من ادامه دهید و بگویید: «مقصر خودش است»؟ |
29 you should be afraid that God will punish [MTY] you; he punishes those [like you] with whom he is angry; and when that happens, you will know that there is [someone who] judges [people].”
| از شمشیر مجازات خدا بترسید و بدانید که او شما را داوری خواهد کرد. |
