ایوب 18
| آنگاه بلدد شوحی پاسخ داد: | 1 |
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
| تا کی می‌خواهی به این حرفها ادامه دهی؟ اگر می‌خواهی ما هم سخن بگوییم قدری عاقلانه‌تر صحبت کن. | 2 |
How long will it be before you make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
| آیا تو فکر می‌کنی ما مثل حیوان بی‌شعور هستیم؟ | 3 |
Why are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
| چرا بی‌جهت خشمگین می‌شوی و به خود صدمه می‌زنی؟ آیا انتظار داری به خاطر تو زمین بلرزد و صخره‌ها واژگون شوند. | 4 |
He tears himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for you? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
| چراغ مرد بدکار خاموش خواهد شد و شعله‌اش نوری نخواهد داد. | 5 |
Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
| در هر خانه‌ای که شرارت وجود داشته باشد، تاریکی حکمفرما خواهد بود. | 6 |
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
| قدمهای شرور سست می‌شوند و او قربانی نقشه‌های خود می‌گردد. | 7 |
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
| او با پای خود به دام می‌افتد و تله پاشنهٔ پای او را می‌گیرد و او را رها نمی‌کند. | 8 |
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a snare.
| 9 |
The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
| سر راه او تله‌ها پنهان شده است. | 10 |
The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
| ترسها از هر طرف به او هجوم می‌آورند و او را قدم به قدم تعقیب می‌کنند. | 11 |
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
| مصیبت دهان خود را برای او باز کرده و فلاکت آماده است تا او را به کام خود فرو برد. | 12 |
His strength shall be extremely hungry, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
| مرض مهلک به جان او می‌افتد و او را به کام مرگ می‌کشاند. | 13 |
It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
| از خانهٔ امن خود جدا شده، نزد پادشاه مرگ برده می‌شود. | 14 |
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
| خانه‌اش در زیر آتش گوگرد نابود می‌گردد. | 15 |
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered on his habitation.
| ریشه و شاخه‌هایش می‌خشکند و از بین می‌روند. | 16 |
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
| خاطرهٔ وجود او تمام از روی زمین محو می‌گردد و هیچ‌کس او را به یاد نمی‌آورد. | 17 |
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
| از دنیای زندگان بیرون انداخته شده، از نور به تاریکی رانده می‌شود. | 18 |
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
| در میان قومش نسلی از او باقی نمی‌ماند. | 19 |
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
| قومهای مغرب و مشرق از سرنوشت او حیران و هراسان می‌شوند. | 20 |
They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
| آری، این بلایی است که بر سر گناهکاران می‌آید، بر سر آنانی که خدا را نمی‌شناسند. | 21 |
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knows not God.
