Ayup 29
1 Ayup bayanini dawamlashturup mundaq dédi: —
Job spoke again,
2 «Ah, ehwalim ilgiriki aylardikidek bolsidi, Tengri mendin xewer alghan künlerdikidek bolsidi!
“I wish/desire that I could be like I was previously, during the years when God took care of me.
3 U chaghda Uning chirighi béshimgha nur chachqan, Uning yoruqluqi bilen qarangghuluqtin ötüp ketken bolattim!
During those years, [it was as though] God’s lamp [MET] shone on me and gave me light while I walked in the darkness.
4 Bu ishlar men qiran waqtimda, Yeni Tengri chédirimda manga sirdash [dost] bolghan waqitta bolghanidi!
At that time I was young and strong, and because God was my friend, [he protected] [PRS] my tent.
5 Hemmige Qadir men bilen bille bolghan, Méning yash balilirim etrapimda bolghan;
Almighty [God] was with me during those years when all my children were around me.
6 Méning basqan qedemlirim sériq maygha chömülgen; Yénimdiki tash men üchün zeytun may deryasi bolup aqqan;
[My herds] provided me with plenty of milk, and streams of oil flowed from the rock where my olives were pressed.
7 Sheher derwazisigha chiqqan waqtimda, Keng meydanda ornum teyyarlan’ghanda,
“Whenever I went to [the place where the elders gathered at] the city gate, I sat down with them,
8 Yashlar méni körüpla eyminip özlirini chetke alatti, Qérilar bolsa ornidin turatti,
and when the young men saw me, they stepped aside [respectfully], and the old men [also] stood [respectfully].
9 Shahzadilermu geptin toxtap, Qoli bilen aghzini étiwalatti.
The leaders of the people stopped talking [DOU],
10 Aqsöngeklermu tinchlinip, Tilini tangliyigha chapliwalatti.
and even the most important men became quiet and ceased talking [MTY] [in order to hear me speak to them].
11 Qulaq sözümni anglisila, manga bext tileytti, Köz méni körsila manga yaxshi guwahliq béretti.
When they [SYN] all heard [what I told them], they said good things about me. When they [SYN] saw me (OR, what I had done), they commended me,
12 Chünki men manga himaye bol dep yélin’ghan ézilgüchilerni, Panahsiz qalghan yétim-yésirlarnimu qutquzup turattim.
because I had helped the poor people when they cried out for help and I aided/helped orphans who had no one else to help them.
13 Halak bolay dégen kishi manga bext tileytti; Men tul xotunning könglini shadlandurup naxsha yangratquzattim.
Those who were suffering and about to die praised [PRS] me, and I caused widows [SYN] to sing joyfully, [because of my helping them].
14 Men heqqaniyliqni ton qilip kiyiwaldim, U méni öz gewdisi qildi. Adaletlikim manga yépincha hem selle bolghan.
I always acted justly; my continually doing that was like [MET] a robe that I wore and a turban [that was wrapped around my head].
15 Men korgha köz bolattim, Tokurgha put bolattim.
[It was as though] [MET] I was eyes for blind people and feet for people who were lame.
16 Yoqsullargha ata bolattim, Manga natonush kishining dewasinimu tekshürüp chiqattim.
I was [like] [MET] a father to poor people, and in courts I defended those who were strangers.
17 Men adaletsizning hinggayghan chishlirini chéqip tashlayttim, Oljisini chishliridin élip kétettim.
My causing wicked people [to be unable to continue oppressing others was like] [MET] breaking the fangs [of fierce wild animals] and forcing them to drop from their teeth/mouths the animals that they had caught/seized.
18 Hem: «Méning künlirim qumdek köp bolup, Öz uwamda rahet ichide ölimen» deyttim;
“At that time I thought, ‘Surely I will live securely, until I am very old [SIM], and I will die at home [with my family].’
19 Hem: «Yiltizim sularghiche tartilip baridu, Shebnem pütün kéchiche shéximgha chapliship yatidu;
I was [like a tree] [MET] whose roots reach down into the water and whose branches become wet with dew each night.
20 Shöhritim herdaim mende yéngilinip turidu, Qolumdiki oqyayim herdaim yéngi bolup turidu» deyttim.
People always honored me, and I was always [strong like] [MET] a new bow.
21 Ademler manga qulaq salatti, kütüp turatti; Nesihetlirini anglay dep süküt ichide turatti.
“When I spoke, people waited to hear [what I would say] and remained silent until I advised them [what they should do].
22 Men gep qilghandin kéyin ular qayta gep qilmaytti, Sözlirim ularning üstige shebnem bolup chüshetti.
After I finished speaking, they did not say any more; [it was as though] [MET] my words fell on their ears [like refreshing drops of rain].
23 Ular yamghurlarni kütkendek méni kütetti, Kishiler [waqtida yaghqan] «kéyinki yamghur»ni qarshi alghandek sözlirimni aghzini échip ichetti!
They waited for me [to speak] like they wait for rain; they [appreciated what I said] like [MET] [farmers appreciate] the final rain in the spring [before the dry season].
24 Ümidsizlen’ginide men ulargha qarap külümsireyttim, Yüzümdiki nurni ular yerge chüshurmeytti.
When they were discouraged, I smiled at them [to encourage them]; they became encouraged when they saw that I approved of them.
25 Men ulargha yolini tallap körsitip bérettim, Ularning arisida kattiwash bolup olturattim, Qoshunliri arisida turghan padishahdek yashayttim, Biraq buning bilen matem tutidighanlargha teselli yetküzgüchimu bolattim».
I was their leader, and I decided what things [would be good for them to do]; I was among them like [SIM] a king who is among his troops; I was like someone who comforts [others] who are mourning.”
