ئەیوب 31

1 «پەیمانم لەگەڵ چاوەکانم بەست، ئیتر چۆن تەماشای پاکیزەیەک بکەم؟

“I solemnly promised myself that I would not look at a young woman with a desire [to have sex with her].

2 بەشی ئێمە لە خودا لە سەرەوە چییە، چ میراتێکمان هەیە لە توانادارەکەی ئاسمان؟

[If I did not do what I promised, ] what would God who is in heaven [MTY] do to me [RHQ]? Almighty [God] would certainly not [RHQ] give me any reward!

3 ئایا کارەسات بۆ بەدکار و بەڵا بۆ خراپەکار نییە؟

[Previously I thought that] surely [RHQ] it was unrighteous people who would experience calamities, and that it was those who do what is wrong who would experience disasters.

4 ئایا ئەو تەماشای ڕێگای من ناکات و هەموو هەنگاوەکانم ناژمێرێت؟

God certainly sees [RHQ] everything that I do, [so why is he causing me to suffer?] [It is as though] he counts every step that I take.

5 «ئەگەر لەگەڵ درۆ ملی ڕێم گرتبێتەبەر یان پێیەکانم پەلەیان کردبێت بەرەو فێڵ،

[“I solemnly declare that] I have never acted wickedly and have never tried to deceive people.

6 با خودا لە تەرازووی ڕاستودروستیدا بمکێشێت و بزانێت کە کەموکوڕیم نییە.

I request only that God judge me fairly [MET], and if he does that, he will know that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong).

7 ئەگەر هەنگاوەکانم لە ڕێچکە لایانداوە، ئەگەر دڵم بەدوای چاوم کەوتووە، یان ئەگەر کردەوەکانم دەستەکانی منیان گڵاو کردووە،

If [it were true that] I have stopped living righteously, or [that] I [SYN] have desired the things that I look at [MTY], or [that] I am guilty of any other sin,

8 ئەوا ئەوەی من چاندم با کەسانی دیکە بیخۆن، با لقەکانم ڕیشەکێش بکرێن.

then I hope/wish that when I plant [seeds], someone else will [harvest the crops and] eat [them] and that others will uproot the [fruit trees] that I planted.

9 «ئەگەر دڵم بەلای ژنێکدا فریوی خواردووە، یان لە بەردەرگای دراوسێکەم بۆسەم داناوە،

“If [it were true that] I [SYN] have been attracted by some other man’s wife, or [that] I have hidden myself and waited outside [the] door [to] her [house],

10 با ژنەکەم دانەوێڵەی پیاوێکی دیکە بهاڕێت و با خەڵکانی دیکە بەسەریدا بچەمێنەوە.

I hope/desire that my wife will become the servant/slave of another man and have sex [EUP] with him.

11 لەبەر ئەوەی ئەمە بێ ناموسییە، تاوانە و پێویستە دادگایی بکرێت.

[For me to do] that would be a terrible sin, and the judges would decide that I should be punished.

12 ئاگرێکە هەتا لەناوچوون دەخوات و هەموو دروێنەکەم ڕیشەکێش دەکات.

My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned)

13 «ئەگەر مافی خزمەتکار و کارەکەرەکەم ڕەت کردووەتەوە کاتێک لە دژی من سکاڵایان کردووە،

“And, if [it were true that] I have ever refused to listen to one of my male or female servants when they complained to me about something,

14 ئەو کاتە چی بکەم لە کاتی ڕووبەڕووبوونەوەم لەگەڵ خودا؟ ئەگەر لێکۆڵینەوەم لەگەڵ بکرێت بە چی وەڵامی بدەمەوە؟

God would arise [and declare that he would punish me]; and when he would do that, what would I do? If he would ask me [about what I have done], (what would I answer?/I would not be able to answer.) [RHQ]

15 ئایا دروستکەری من لە سکدا دروستکەری ئەوانیش نییە؟ ئایا شێوەکێشمان لە سکی دایک یەک نییە؟

God, who created me, certainly also created my servants [RHQ]; surely he is the one who formed them and me in our mothers’ wombs [RHQ]; [so we all should behave toward each other equally].

16 «ئەگەر هەژارانم لە مرازی خۆیان قەدەغە کردبێت یان چاوی بێوەژنم فەوتاندبێت،

“I have guided orphans from the time that they were born; I have taken care of them since they were young. So, if [it were true that] I ate all my food myself and did not share some of it with orphans, or [that] I refused to give poor people the things that they wanted, or [that] I caused widows to live (in despair/without hope [that they would receive any help from anyone]),

17 یان پارووەکەی خۆم بە تەنها خواردبێت، کە هەتیو لێی نەخواردبێت،

18 بەڵام لە گەنجیمەوە وەک باوک بە هەتیوی بەخێوم کردووە و لە سکی دایکمەوە ڕێنمایی بێوەژنم کردووە.

19 ئەگەر فەوتاوێکم بینیبێت لەبەر نەبوونی جل یان نەدارێکی بێ بەرگ،

or [that] I had seen people die [from cold] because they had no clothes, or [that] I had seen poor people who did not have clothes [to keep them warm],

20 کە بە کەوڵی مەڕەکەم خۆیان گەرم نەکردووەتەوە ئیتر لە دڵیانەوە داوای بەرەکەتیان بۆ نەکردووم،

and they were not able to become warm [from clothes made] from the wool of my sheep with the result that they thanked me for [giving them clothes, ]

21 ئەگەر پەیوەندیم لەگەڵ کاربەدەستانم بەکارهێناوە بۆ ئەوەی دەستدرێژی بکەمە سەر هەتیو،

or if [it were true that] I threatened to strike any orphan because I knew that the elders at the city gates would (decide in my favor);

22 با شانم لە ئەستۆم بەربێتەوە و با قۆڵم لە جومگەکەیەوە بشکێت.

[if those things were true about me], I hope/desire that my shoulder blade would be torn out and my arm be torn from my shoulder.

23 لەبەر ئەوەی کارەسات لە خوداوە بەلامەوە تۆقێنەرە و لە ترسی شکۆیەکەی نەمتوانی شتی وا بکەم.

I always feared that God would cause me to experience a great disaster [if I did any of those evil things], and I would not have been able to endure the powerful [things that he would do to punish me].

24 «ئەگەر پشتم بە زێڕی خۆم بەستووە و ئەگەر بە زێڕی بێگەردم گوت:”تۆ پاڵپشتی منی،“

“If [it were true that] I trusted in my gold/money [DOU],

25 ئەگەر دڵخۆش بووم کە سامانەکەم زۆر بوو و لەبەر ئەوەی زۆریان بەدەستهێناوە،

or that I rejoiced because I had acquired many things and had become very rich,

26 ئەگەر تەماشای ڕووناکی خۆرم کردووە کاتێک درەوشاوەتەوە، یان مانگ کاتێک بە جوانییەوە دەڕوات

or that I looked at the sun when it was shining or looked at the beautiful moon

27 تاوەکو دڵم بە نهێنی فریودراو و دەستم دەمی داپۆشی،

and I [SYN] had been tempted [to worship them] by kissing my hand to revere them,

28 ئەوا ئەمانەش تاوان دەبن و دەدرێن بە دادگا، چونکە ئەگەر شتی وام بکردایە ناپاک دەبووم بەرامبەر بە خودا لە سەرەوە.

those things also would be sins for which the judges would say that I must be punished, because I would have been rejecting God [by doing those things].

29 «ئەگەر بە بەڵای ناحەزەکەم دڵخۆش بووم یان بزەم گرت کە تووشی خراپە بوو،

“[It is not true that] I [SYN] sinned by requesting God to curse people who hated me with the result that God would cause them to die. It is also not true that I was glad when they were ruined or that I rejoiced when they experienced disasters [DOU].

30 بەڵکو نەمهێشت مەڵاشووم گوناه بکات بەوەی کە بە نەفرەتەوە داوای ژیانی ئەو بکات؛

31 ئەگەر کەسانی ناو چادرەکەم هەرگیز نەیانگوتایە،”کێ یەکێک دەهێنێت لە خواردنەکەی ئەیوب تێری نەخواردبێت؟“

[It is also not true that] I never welcomed travelers to stay in my tent or that I did not open my doors to them, but [forced them to] sleep in the streets. [All] the men who work for me certainly know that [RHQ]!

32 ئاوارەیەک لە دەرەوە شەوی بەسەرنەبرد، دەرگای ماڵەکەم بۆ ڕێبوار کردەوە.

33 ئەگەر وەک خەڵکی دیکە یاخیبوونی خۆم داپۆشیوە، بە شاردنەوەی تاوانەکانم لە باوەشی خۆم،

Some people try to hide their sins, but I have never done that;

34 بەهۆی ئەوەی لە قسەی خەڵک ترساوم، لە سووکایەتی پێکردنی خێڵەکان تۆقیوم، لەبەر ئەوەیە کە بێدەنگم و لە ماڵەوە دانیشتووم.

and I never remained silent and refused to go outside of my home because I was very (afraid of/worried about) what people would say [about me], and that they would hate/scorn me.

35 «خۆزگە یەکێک دەبوو گوێی لێم دەگرت! ئەوەتا مۆری من، با خودای هەرە بەتوانا وەڵامم پێ بداتەوە؛ ئەوەی سکاڵا لە من دەکات با سکاڵانامەکەی پێشکەش بکات.

“I wish/desire that there was someone who would hear what I am saying! I solemnly declare [that all that I have said is true]. I wish that those who oppose me would write down [on a scroll] the evil things that they say that I did.

36 بێگومان لەسەر شانم هەڵمدەگرت، دەمبەست وەک تاج بەسەرمەوە.

[If they did that, ] I would wear that scroll on my shoulder, or wear it on top of my head, [in order that everyone could see it].

37 ژمارەی هەنگاوەکانی خۆم پێی دەگوت، پێشکەشیشم دەکرد وەک بۆ فەرمانڕەوایەک.

I would tell [God] everything that I have done, and I would approach him [confidently], like a ruler would.

38 «ئەگەر زەوییەکەم هاواری کردووە لە دژی من و هەموو هێڵی جووتەکانی بە فرمێسک تەڕ دەبێت،

If [it were true that] I have stolen land, with the result that [it was as though] its furrows cried out to accuse me of stealing;

39 ئەگەر بەروبوومەکەی ئەوم بەبێ پارە خواردووە یان گیانی کرێچییەکانیم کوژاندووەتەوە،

or [if it were true that] I have eaten the crops that grew in someone else’s fields without paying [for those crops], with the result that those farmers who grew those crops died [from hunger];

40 با لە جێی گەنم دڕک بڕووێت و لە جێی جۆ زیوان.» وشەکانی ئەیوب تەواو بوون.

then I wish/desire that thorns would grow [in my fields] instead of wheat. May bad weeds grow instead of barley!” That is the end of what Job said [to his three friends].
