Job 11
1 Potem je odgovoril Cofár Naámčan in rekel:
Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
2 »Mar ne bo množica besed odgovorjena? Mar naj bo mož, poln govora, opravičen?
“(Should no one answer all that you have said?/Someone should certainly answer all that you have said.) [RHQ] Just because you talk a lot, (should that cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong)?/that should not cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong).) [RHQ]
3 Mar naj tvoje laži naredijo možem, da molčijo? In ko zasmehuješ, ali te noben človek ne bo osramotil?
Job, (should your babbling cause us to be silent?/your babbling should certainly not cause us to be silent.) [RHQ] When you make fun of us, shall no one [rebuke you and] cause you to be ashamed?
4 Kajti rekel si: ›Moj nauk je čist in jaz sem čist v tvojih očeh.‹
You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
5 Toda oh, da bi Bog spregovoril in zoper tebe odprl svoje ustnice
But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
6 in da bi ti pokazal skrivnosti modrosti, da so dvojne temu kar je! Vedi torej, da Bog od tebe terja manj, kakor zasluži tvoja krivičnost.
God knows everything about everything, so I wish/desire that he would tell you the secrets that he knows because he is wise. But you need to know that God is punishing you less than you deserve!
7 Mar lahko z iskanjem najdeš Boga? Mar lahko do popolnosti spoznaš Vsemogočnega?
[“Tell me], will you ever be able to find out the things about God that are very difficult to understand? Will you be able to find out everything that there is to know about Almighty God?
8 To je tako visoko kakor nebo. Kaj lahko storiš? Globlje kakor pekel. Kaj lahko spoznaš? (Sheol h7585)
[What there is to know about God] is greater than [the distance from earth to] heaven; so there is no way [RHQ] that you can [understand it all]. It is greater than [the distance from here to] the place of the dead; so it is impossible for you [RHQ] to know it all. (Sheol h7585)
9 Njegova mera je daljša kakor zemlja in širša kakor morje.
What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
10 Če odseka in zapre, ali zbere skupaj, kdo ga potem lahko ovira?
“If God comes to you and puts you in prison and then brings you to a court, (who can stop him?/no one can stop him.) [RHQ]
11 Kajti pozna praznoglave ljudi. Tudi zlobnost vidi. Mar ne bo potem tega preudaril?
He knows which people are worthless; and when he sees people doing wicked things, (will he ignore it?/he will certainly not ignore it!) [RHQ]
12 Kajti praznoglav človek bi bil moder, čeprav bi bil človek rojen kakor žrebe divjega osla.
Stupid people [like you] will start to become wise [SAR] when wild donkeys [stop giving birth to wild donkeys and] start giving birth to tame donkeys.
13 Če pripraviš svoje srce in svoje roke iztegneš k njemu,
“Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
14 če je krivičnost v tvoji roki, jo odloži daleč proč in naj zlobnost ne prebiva v tvojih šotorih.
If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
15 Kajti potem boš povzdignil svoj obraz brez madeža. Da, neomajen boš in se ne boš bal,
If you do what I have said, surely you will lift up your head because you will not be ashamed; you will be strong, and not afraid [of anything].
16 ker boš pozabil svojo bedo in se je boš spominjal kakor vode, ki tečejo mimo,
You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
17 in tvoja starost bo jasnejša kakor opoldan; svetil boš naprej, ti boš kakor jutro.
[Your troubles will be ended, like the darkness ends] at the dawn; [it will be as though] [MET] the sun is shining brightly on you, like [it shines] at noon.
18 Ti boš varen, ker je upanje. Da, kopal boš okoli sebe in svoj počitek si boš vzel v varnosti.
You will feel safe/secure, because you will confidently expect [that good things will happen to you]; God will protect you and enable you to rest safely [each night].
19 Tudi ulegel se boš in nihče te ne bo strašil. Da, mnogi te bodo obžalovali.
You will lie down, and no one will cause you to be afraid. And many people will come and request you to do things for them.
20 Toda oči zlobnih bodo odpovedale in ne bodo pobegnili in njihovo upanje bo kakor izročitev duha.«
But wicked people [SYN] will not be able to understand [why bad things are happening to them]; they will not have any way to escape [from their troubles]. The only thing that they will want to do is to die. [EUP]”
