ئەیوب 22

1 ئەلیفازی تێمانیش وەڵامی دایەوە:

Then Eliphaz replied,

2 «ئایا مرۆڤ سوودی بۆ خودا هەیە؟ تەنانەت کەسێکی دانا، ئایا سوودی بۆ خودا هەیە؟

“(Can anyone be useful to God?/Certainly no one can be useful to God.) [RHQ] Even people who are wise cannot be helpful to God.

3 ئایا خۆشی تێدایە بۆ توانادارەکە کە تۆ ڕاستودروست بیت؟ ئەگەر ڕەفتارەکەشت بێ کەموکوڕی بێت، ئایا قازانجی بۆ خودا تێدایە؟

If you were righteous, (would that benefit Almighty [God]?/that certainly would not benefit Almighty [God].) [RHQ] If you had (lived a perfect life/never done anything that is wrong), would that help him?

4 «ئایا لەسەر لەخواترسییەکەت سەرزەنشتت دەکات و تۆ دەداتە دادگا؟

“Is it because you have an awesome respect for God that he punishes you? Is that the reason that he puts you on trial?

5 ئایا خراپەکانت زۆر نین و تاوانەکانیشت بێ کۆتایی نین؟

No, it certainly must be [RHQ] because you are extremely wicked. It must be that the evil things that you have done are so many that no one can count them!

6 بەبێ هۆ بارمتەت لە برای خۆت وەرگرت و جلت لەبەر داکەند ڕووتت کردەوە.

You must have lent money to others and wrongly forced them to give you things to guarantee that they would pay that money back to you; you must have taken all their clothes and left them with nothing to wear.

7 ئاوت نەدا بە تینوو و ئامادە نەبووی نان بدەیتە برسی،

You must not have given water to those who were thirsty, and you must have refused to give food to those who were hungry.

8 هەرچەندە تۆ خاوەن زەوی و پیاوێکی بە توانا بووی، کە وەک کەسێکی ناودار تێدا نیشتەجێ بوو.

Because you were very powerful, you [must have] taken over all the people’s land, and then, being very respected, you have begun to live on that land.

9 بێوەژنانت بە دەستبەتاڵی بەڕێکرد و دەستی هەتیوانت شکاند.

[When] widows [came to you for help], you [must have] sent [them] away without giving them anything, and you must have oppressed orphans.

10 لەبەر ئەوە چواردەورت تەڵەیە و ترسی لەناکاو دەتتۆقێنێت،

Because of all that, now there are pits around you for you to fall into, and suddenly there are things that terrify you and cause you to tremble.

11 لەبەر ئەوەش ئەوەندە تاریک بووە کە نابینیت و لافاوێک داتدەپۆشێت.

[It is as though] it has become very dark, with the result that you cannot see anything, and [it is as though] [MET] a flood covers you.

12 «ئایا خودا لە بەرزی ئاسمان نییە؟ سەیری لووتکەی ئەستێرەکان بکە چەند خۆیان بڵند گرتووە!

“[But consider this, Job]: God lives [RHQ] high up in the heavens. From there he [RHQ] looks down on the highest stars.

13 بەڵام تۆ دەڵێیت:”خودا چی دەزانێت؟ ئایا لە پشت هەوری ڕەشەوە دادوەری دەکات؟

So why do you say, ‘What does God know [about what we are doing]? [He is hidden from us by] dark clouds, so ([how] can he judge us?/he certainly cannot judge us.) [RHQ]’

14 هەورەکان پەردەن بۆ ئەو ئیتر نامانبینێت کە بەسەر بازنەی ئاسمان هاتوچۆ دەکات.“

[Do you think that] while he walks on the dome that covers the sky, there are thick clouds around him, with the result that he cannot see [what we do]?

15 ئایا تۆش بەو ڕێگا کۆنەدا دەڕۆیت کە خراپەکاران پێیدا ڕۆیشتوون؟

Will you continue to conduct your life the old way that evil people have done [for many years]?

16 ئەوانەی پێشوەخت دەستیان بەسەردا گیرا، ڕووبار بەسەر بناغەکەیاندا ڕژا.

They suddenly died while they were still young; they disappeared [like everything disappears when there is] a flood [MET].

17 ئەوانەی بە خودایان گوت:”لێمان دوور بکەوە! خودای هەرە بەتوانا چیمان لەگەڵ دەکات؟“

They kept saying to God, ‘Do not bother us,’ and they also said [defiantly], ‘Almighty [God] can do nothing [RHQ] to [harm] us!’

18 بەڵام ئەو بوو کە ماڵەکانی ئەوانی پڕکردووە لە خێروخۆشی، با ڕاوێژی خراپەکاران لێم دوور بێت.

But it was God who filled their houses with good things, so I cannot at all understand why wicked people think like they do.

19 ڕاستودروستان کە وێرانییان دەبینن، دڵخۆش دەبن، بێگەردیش گاڵتەیان پێ دەکات:

“But when God punishes wicked people, and righteous people see that, they are glad, and they laugh, ridiculing the wicked people.

20 ”بێگومان بەرهەڵستکارانمان لەناودەچن و سامانەکەشیان ئاگر دەیخوات.“

They say, ‘Now our enemies have been destroyed, and all [their possessions] that were left have been burned in a fire.’

21 «تکایە لەگەڵ خودا ڕێک بکەوە و لە ئاشتی بە، بەمە خێرۆخۆشیت بۆ دێت.

“So, [Job, ] be reconciled to God and make peace with him; if you do that, good things will happen to you.

22 تکایە فێرکردنەکان لە دەمیەوە وەربگرە و قسەکانی بخە دڵتەوە.

Allow him to teach you, and keep thinking about what he has told you.

23 ئەگەر بگەڕێیتەوە بۆ لای خودای هەرە بەتوانا بنیاد دەنرێیتەوە، ئەگەر ستەم لە چادرەکەت دووربخەیتەوە،

If you humble yourself and return to God, if you stop doing all the evil things that you have been doing in your house,

24 ئەگەر زێڕ فڕێبدەیتە سەر خۆڵ و زێڕی ئۆفیر بۆ ناو بەردی شیوەکان،

if you throw away your gold, even the fine gold from the dry stream beds in Ophir [land],

25 ئەو کاتە توانادارەکە دەبێت بە زێڕەکەت و بە زیوی گرانبەها بۆ تۆ.

and if you allow Almighty [God] to be [as precious to you as] your gold and your silver [have been],

26 بێگومان ئیتر خۆشی لە توانادارەکە دەبینیت، ڕووت لە خودا دەکەیت.

you will be happy because of your close relationship with God, and you will be able to approach him [IDM] [confidently].

27 نوێژی بۆ دەکەیت و گوێت لێ دەگرێت، نەزرەکانت بەجێدەهێنیت.

You will pray to him, and he will do what you request him to do; you will do the things that you promised him that you would do.

28 بڕیار دەدەیت و بۆت جێبەجێ دەبێت، بەسەر ڕێگاکانت ڕووناکی دەدرەوشێتەوە.

Everything that you decide to do will be successful; [it] will [be as though] a light [is] shining on the road in front of you.

29 کاتێک خەڵک دەکەون تۆ دەڵێیت:”هەڵیانبستێنەوە!“ئەوا خودا ماتومەلوولەکان ڕزگار دەکات.

God humbles those who are proud, but he saves those who are downcast/discouraged.

30 تەنانەت ئەو کەسەی کە بێگەرد نییە دەربازی دەکات، بەهۆی دەستپاکییەکەت دەرباز دەبێت.»

God rescues those who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), so he will rescue you if you (start doing things that are right/are not guilty [IDM] of doing things that are wrong).”
