ယောဘ 16
Job replied [to Eliphaz and the others: ]
2 ၂ ထိုသို့သောစကားများတို့ကို ငါကြားဘူးပြီ။ သင်တို့ရှိသမျှသည် နှစ်သိမ့်စေခြင်းငှါ ပြုသော်လည်း၊ ပင်ပန်းစေသော သူဖြစ်ကြပါသည်တကား။
“I have heard things like that before; all of you, [instead of helping me, ] are only causing me to feel more miserable.
Will your speeches, which are only hot air, never end [RHQ]? Eliphaz, what bothers/irritates you so much that you continue replying to me?
4 ၄ သင်တို့ပြောသကဲ့သို့ ငါသည်လည်းပြောနိုင်၏။ သင်တို့သည် ငါကဲ့သို့ဖြစ်လျှင်၊ ငါသည်သင်တို့ တဘက်က စကားများကို ပုံ၍ထားနိုင်၏။ ခေါင်းကိုလည်း ခါနိုင်၏။
If it were you [three and not I] who were suffering, I could say the things that you are saying; I could make great speeches [to criticize/condemn you], and I could shake my head at you [to ridicule you].
But, [unlike all of you, ] with what I said [MTY] I would encourage you and try to cause your pain to be less.
“But now, if I talk, my pain does not decrease, and if I am silent, my pain still certainly does not [RHQ] go away.
God has now taken away all my strength, and he has destroyed my family.
8 ၈ ငါ့ကိုခြေချင်းခတ်တော်မူ၍၊ ထိုခြေချင်းသည်ငါ့ တဘက်က သက်သေခံ၏။ ငါပိန်ကြုံခြင်းအရာသည် လည်း ငါ့တဘက်ကထ၍ မျက်နှာချင်းဆိုင်လျက် သက် သေခံ၏။
He has shriveled me up, and people think that shows that I [am a sinner]. And people see that I am only skin and bones, and they think that proves that I [am guilty].
9 ၉ အမျက်တော်သည် ငါ့ကိုအပိုင်းပိုင်းဆွဲဖြတ်၍ ညှဉ်းဆဲတတ်၏။ ငါ့အပေါ်မှာ အံသွားခဲကြိတ်ခြင်းကို ပြုတော်မူ၏။ ငါ့ရန်သူသည်ငါ့ကို မျက်စောင်းထိုး၏။
Because God is very angry with me and hates me, [it is as though he is a wild animal that] [MET] has gnashed his teeth at me because he is my enemy.
People gape/stare at me with their mouths open [to sneer at me]; they have struck me on the face/cheek to ridicule me, and they crowd around me to threaten me.
[It is as though] God has handed me over to ungodly people and turned me over to the wicked [DOU].
12 ၁၂ ငါသည်ငြိမ်ဝပ်လျက်နေသောအခါ ငါ့အရိုးတို့ကို ချိုးတော်မူ၏။ လည်ပင်းကိုကိုင်၍ အပိုင်းပိုင်းပြတ်စေ ခြင်းငှါ လှုပ်တော်မူ၏။ ငါ့ကို ပစ်စရာစက်သွင်းတော် မူ၏။
Previously, I was living peacefully, but he crushed me; [it is as though] he grabbed my neck and smashed me to pieces. [It is as though] [MET] he set me up like a target;
13 ၁၃ မြှားတော်တို့သည် ငါ့ကိုဝိုင်း၍ ကရုဏာတော် မရှိဘဲ၊ ငါ့ကျောက်ကပ်ကို စူးစေတော်မူ၏။ ငါ့သည်းခြေအရည်ကိုမြေပေါ်၌ သွန်းတော်မူ၏။
people are surrounding me [and shooting arrows at me]. His arrows pierce my kidneys and cause the bile [from my liver] to spill onto the ground, and God does not pity me at all.
[It is as though] [MET] I am a wall that he is breaking through; he rushes at me like [SIM] a soldier [attacking his enemies].
[“Because I am mourning, ] I wear pieces of rough cloth that I have sewed together, and I sit [here] in the dirt, very depressed/discouraged.
My face is red because I have cried very much, and there are dark circles around my eyes.
[All this has happened to me] even though I have not acted violently [toward anyone], and I [always] pray sincerely/honestly [to God].
[When I die, ] I want the ground [APO] to [act as though I had been murdered and] cry out against those who killed me, and I do not want anyone to stop me while I am demanding [that God act justly toward] me.
But even now, [I know that] there is someone in heaven who will testify for me, and he will say that what I have done is right.
20 ၂၀ ငါ့သဘောကို သိသောသူသည် မြင့်သောအရပ်၌ ရှိ၏။ ငါ့အဆွေခင်ပွန်းတို့သည် ငါ့ကိုကဲ့ရဲ့၍၊ ငါသည် ဘုရားသခင့်ရှေ့တော်၌ မျက်ရည်ကျလျက်နေ၏။
My [three] friends scorn/ridicule me, but my eyes are full of tears [while I cry out] to God.
I pray that [the] one [who knows what I have done] would come to plead with God for me like people plead for their friends.
[I say this because] within a few years [I will die]; I will walk along the [to the grave] from which I will never return.”
