Job 40
1 Then Yahweh said to Job,
| آیا هنوز هم می‌خواهی با من که خدای قادر مطلق هستم مباحثه کنی؟ تو که از من انتقاد می‌کنی آیا می‌توانی جوابم را بدهی؟ ایوب به خداوند چنین پاسخ داد: |
2 “Do you still want to argue with me, the Almighty One? Since you criticize me, (you should be able to answer my questions!/why are you not able to answer my questions?) [RHQ]”
3 Then Job replied to Yahweh,
4 “[Now I realize that] I am completely worthless. So (how could I answer [those questions]?/I could not possibly answer [those questions]!) [RHQ] I will put my hand over my mouth [and not say anything].
| من کوچکتر از آنم که بتوانم به تو جواب دهم. دست بر دهانم می‌گذارم |
5 I have already said more than I should have said, so now I will say nothing more.”
| و دیگر سخن نمی‌گویم. |
6 Then Yahweh [again] spoke to Job from inside the great windstorm. He said,
| آنگاه خداوند از میان گردباد بار دیگر به ایوب چنین گفت: |
7 “I want to ask you some [more] questions. So as men prepare themselves for a difficult task [MET], prepare yourself again to answer some [more] questions.
| اکنون مثل یک مرد بایست و به سؤال من جواب بده. |
8 “Are you going to accuse me and say that I am unjust? Are you going to say that what I have done is wrong, in order that you can say that what you have done is right?
| آیا مرا به بی‌عدالتی متهم می‌سازی و مرا محکوم می‌کنی تا ثابت کنی که حق با توست؟ |
9 Are you as powerful [MTY] as I am? Can your voice sound [as loud] as thunder, as mine can?
| آیا تو مانند خدا توانا هستی؟ آیا صدای تو می‌تواند مانند رعد او طنین اندازد؟ |
10 [If you can do that], put on the robes that show that you are glorious and are greatly honored!
| اگر چنین است پس خود را به فّر و شکوه ملبس ساز و با جلال و عظمت به پا خیز. |
11 Show that you are very angry; show that you have the right/authority to humble people who are [very] proud!
| به متکبران نگاه کن و با خشم خود آنها را به زیر انداز. |
12 Humble those proud people [just] by looking at them [angrily] Crush wicked people quickly!
| با یک نگاه، متکبران را ذلیل کن و بدکاران را در جایی که ایستاده‌اند پایمال نما. |
13 Bury them in the ground! Send them to the place where dead people are, where they will not be able to get out!
| آنها را با هم در خاک دفن کن و ایشان را در دنیای مردگان به بند بکش. |
14 After you do that, I will congratulate/praise you and say that [truly] you can save yourself by your own ability/power.
| اگر بتوانی این کارها را بکنی، آنگاه من قبول می‌کنم که با قوت خود می‌توانی نجات یابی. |
15 “Think [also] about the huge animals that live near the water. I made you, and I made them also. They eat grass, like oxen do.
| نگاهی به بهیموت بینداز! من او را آفریده‌ام، همان‌طور که تو را آفریده‌ام! او مثل گاو علف می‌خورد. |
16 Their legs/thighs are [very] strong, and the muscles of their bellies are [very] powerful.
| کمر پرقدرت و عضلات شکمش را ملاحظه کن. |
17 Their tails are stiff (OR, bend down) like the branches of a cedar tree. The sinews/muscles of their thighs are close together.
| دمش مانند درخت سرو، راست است. رگ و پی رانش محکم به هم بافته شده است. |
18 Their [thigh] bones are [like] tubes [made] of bronze, and the bones of their legs are like bars [made] of iron.
| استخوانهایش مانند تکه‌های مفرغ و دنده‌هایش چون میله‌های آهن، محکم می‌باشند. |
19 They are among the strongest of the animals that I made, and I, who created them, am the only one who can kill them.
| او سرآمدِ کارهای دست خداست، و تنها خالقش می‌تواند با شمشیرش به او نزدیک شود. |
20 On the hills grows food [PRS] for them to eat while many [HYP] other wild animals play nearby.
| کوهها بهترین علوفهٔ خود را به او می‌دهند و حیوانات وحشی در کنار او بازی می‌کنند. |
21 They lie down [in the water] under the lotus plants; they hide in [tall] reeds in the swamps.
| زیر درختانِ کُنار، در نیزارها دراز می‌کشد |
22 Those huge animals find shade under the lotus plants, and they are surrounded by poplar trees.
| و سایهٔ آنها او را می‌پوشانند و درختان بید کنار رودخانه او را احاطه می‌کنند. |
23 They are not disturbed by raging/swiftly-flowing rivers; they are not even disturbed/frightened when [rivers like the] Jordan [River] rush over them.
| طغیان رودخانه‌ها او را مضطرب نمی‌سازد و حتی اگر امواج جوشان رود اردن بر سرش بریزد، ترس به خود راه نمی‌دهد. |
24 No one can [RHQ] catch them by blinding their eyes or by piercing their noses with [the teeth of] a trap!”
| هیچ‌کس نمی‌تواند قلاب به بینی او بزند و او را به دام اندازد. |
