ယောဘ 8
Then Bildad, from [the] Shuah [area], spoke to Job. He said,
2 ၂ သင်သည် အဘယ်မျှကာလပတ်လုံး ဤသို့ပြောမည်နည်း။ သင်ပြောသောစကားသည် အဘယ်မျှကာလ ပတ်လုံး လေပြင်းကဲ့သို့ ဖြစ်မည်နည်း။
“Job, how much longer will you talk like this? What you say is [only] hot air.
Almighty God certainly never does [RHQ] what is unfair/unjust. He always does [LIT] what is right/fair.
4 ၄ သင်၏သားသမီးတို့သည် ဘုရားသခင်ကို ပြစ်မှားသောကြောင့်၊ ပြစ်မှားစဉ်တွင်၊ သူတို့ကိုသုတ်သင် ပယ်ရှင်းတော်မူသော်လည်း၊
So, it is evident that your children have sinned against him, therefore he has caused them to be punished for evil things that they have done.
5 ၅ သင်သည်မဆိုင်းမလင့်၊ သန့်ရှင်းဖြောင့်မတ်သောသဘောနှင့် ဘုရားသခင်ကိုရှာ၍၊ အနန္တတန်ခိုးရှင် အား တောင်းပန်လျှင်၊
But, if you will [now] earnestly request [DOU] Almighty [God] to help you,
and if you are pure and honest/righteous, he will surely do something good for you and reward you by giving your family back to you and enabling you to prosper.
And even though you [think that you] were not very prosperous/wealthy before, during the last part of your life you will become very wealthy.
“I request you to think about what happened long ago and consider what our ancestors found out.
9 ၉ ငါတို့သည် မနေ့၏သားဖြစ်၍ အလျှင်းမသိရပါ။ မြေကြီးပေါ်မှာ ငါတို့နေရသော နေ့ရက်ကာလသည် အရိပ်သက်သက်ဖြစ်၏။
[It seems as though] we were born only yesterday and we know very little [HYP]; our time here on the earth [disappears quickly, like] a shadow [MET].
So, why do you not allow your ancestors to teach you and tell you something? Allow them to tell you from what they learned!
11 ၁၁ ဂမာပင်သည် ရွံ့မရှိဘဲကြီးပွားနိုင်သလော။ မြစ်နားမှာ ပေါက်သောမြက်ပင်သည် ရေမရှိဘဲ ကြီးပွား နိုင်သလော။
Papyrus can certainly not [RHQ] grow in places where there is no marsh/swamp; reeds certainly cannot [RHQ] flourish/grow where there is no water.
[If they do not have enough water], while they are still blossoming, they wither more quickly than other plants wither.
13 ၁၃ ထိုသို့ဘုရားသခင်ကို မေ့လျော့သော သူ အပေါင်းတို့သည် ဆုံးခြင်းသို့ရောက်ရကြလိမ့်မည်။ အဓမ္မလူ မြော်လင့်စရာအကြောင်းသည် ပျက်လိမ့်မည်။
Those who do not pay attention to what God says are like those [reeds]; godless people stop confidently expecting [that good things will happen to them].
The things they confidently expect to happen do not happen; things they trust [will help them] are [as fragile as] [MET] a spider’s web.
If they lean against a house (OR, trust in their wealth; OR, lean on a spider web), it does not (endure/protect them) [LIT]; they cling to things [to be protected], but those things do not remain firm.
Godless people [are like plants] [MET] that are watered before the sun rises; their shoots spread all over the gardens.
The roots of those plants twist around piles of stones and cling tightly to rocks.
But if those plants are pulled out, [it is as though] the place where they were planted says ‘They were never here!’ [And that is what happens to wicked people who do not heed what God says].
Truly, evil people [MET] are not joyful [IRO] for a long time; other people come and take their places.
:So, [I tell you, Job], God will not reject you if you are truly godly/righteous, but he does not help [IDM] evil people.
He will enable you [MTY] to continually laugh and to always shout [joyfully].
22 ၂၂ သင့်ကိုမုန်းသော သူတို့သည် ရှက်ခြင်းနှင့် ဖုံးလွှမ်းလျက်ရှိရကြလိမ့်မည်။ ဆိုးသောသူနေရာအရပ် သည်လည်း ဆုံးရှုံးခြင်းသို့ ရောက်ရလိမ့်မည်ဟု မြွက်ဆို ၏။
But those who hate you will be very ashamed, and the homes of wicked people will disappear.”
