Jób 11
1 Felele a Naamából való Czófár, és monda:
Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
2 A sok beszédre ne legyen-é felelet? Avagy a csácsogó embernek legyen-é igaza?
“(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 Fecsegéseid elnémítják az embereket, és csúfolódol is és ne legyen, a ki megszégyenítsen?!
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 Azt mondod: Értelmes az én beszédem, tiszta vagyok a te szemeid előtt.
You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
5 De vajha szólalna meg maga az Isten, és nyitná meg ajkait te ellened!
But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
6 És jelentené meg néked a bölcsességnek titkait, hogy kétszerte többet ér az az okoskodásnál, és tudnád meg, hogy az Isten még el is engedett néked a te bűneidből.
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 Az Isten mélységét elérheted-é, avagy a Mindenhatónak tökéletességére eljuthatsz-é?
[“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 Hosszabb annak mértéke a földnél, és szélesebb a tengernél.
What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
10 Ha megtapos, elzár és ítéletet tart: ki akadályozhatja meg?
“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 Mert ő jól ismeri a csalárd embereket, látja az álnokságot, még ha nem figyelmez is arra!
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 És értelmessé teheti a bolond embert is, és emberré szülheti a vadszamár csikóját is.
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 Ha te a te szívedet felkészítenéd, és kezedet felé terjesztenéd;
“Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
14 Ha a hamisságot, a mely a te kezedben van, távol tartanád magadtól, és nem lakoznék a te hajlékodban gonoszság;
If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
15 Akkor a te arczodat fölemelhetnéd szégyen nélkül, erős lennél és nem félnél;
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 Sőt a nyomorúságról is elfelejtkeznél, és mint lefutott vizekről, úgy emlékeznél arról.
You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
17 Ragyogóbban kelne időd a déli fénynél, és az éjféli sötétség is olyan lenne, mint a kora reggel.
[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 Akkor bíznál, mert volna reménységed; és ha széttekintenél, biztonságban aludnál.
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 Ha lefeküdnél, senki föl nem rettentene, sőt sokan hizelegnének néked.
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 De a gonoszok szemei elepednek, menedékök eltünik előlök, és reménységök: a lélek kilehellése!
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]”
