Ayup 29
1 Ayup bayanini dawamlaxturup mundaⱪ dedi: —
Job went on speaking.
2 «Aⱨ, ǝⱨwalim ilgiriki aylardikidǝk bolsidi, Tǝngri mǝndin hǝwǝr alƣan künlǝrdikidǝk bolsidi!
“I wish I was back in the old days when God looked after me!
3 U qaƣda Uning qiriƣi beximƣa nur qaqⱪan, Uning yoruⱪluⱪi bilǝn ⱪarangƣuluⱪtin ɵtüp kǝtkǝn bolattim!
His light shone above me and lit my way through the darkness.
4 Bu ixlar mǝn ⱪiran waⱪtimda, Yǝni Tǝngri qedirimda manga sirdax [dost] bolƣan waⱪitta bolƣanidi!
When I was young and strong, God was my friend and spoke to me in my home.
5 Ⱨǝmmigǝ Ⱪadir mǝn bilǝn billǝ bolƣan, Mening yax balilirim ǝtrapimda bolƣan;
The Almighty was still with me and I was surrounded with my children.
6 Mening basⱪan ⱪǝdǝmlirim seriⱪ mayƣa qɵmülgǝn; Yenimdiki tax mǝn üqün zǝytun may dǝryasi bolup aⱪⱪan;
My herds produced much milk, and oil flowed freely from my olive presses.
7 Xǝⱨǝr dǝrwazisiƣa qiⱪⱪan waⱪtimda, Kǝng mǝydanda ornum tǝyyarlanƣanda,
I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the public square.
8 Yaxlar meni kɵrüpla ǝyminip ɵzlirini qǝtkǝ alatti, Ⱪerilar bolsa ornidin turatti,
The young men saw me and moved out of the way; the elders would stand up for me.
9 Xaⱨzadilǝrmu gǝptin tohtap, Ⱪoli bilǝn aƣzini etiwalatti.
The leaders remained silent and covered their mouths with their hands.
10 Aⱪsɵngǝklǝrmu tinqlinip, Tilini tangliyiƣa qapliwalatti.
The voices of the officials were hushed; they held their tongues in my presence.
11 Ⱪulaⱪ sɵzümni anglisila, manga bǝht tilǝytti, Kɵz meni kɵrsila manga yahxi guwaⱨliⱪ berǝtti.
Everyone who listened to me praised me; whoever saw me commended me,
12 Qünki mǝn manga ⱨimayǝ bol dǝp yelinƣan ezilgüqilǝrni, Panaⱨsiz ⱪalƣan yetim-yesirlarnimu ⱪutⱪuzup turattim.
because I gave to the poor who called out to me and the orphans who had no one to help them.
13 Ⱨalak bolay degǝn kixi manga bǝht tilǝytti; Mǝn tul hotunning kɵnglini xadlandurup nahxa yangratⱪuzattim.
Those who were about to die blessed me; I made the widow sing for joy.
14 Mǝn ⱨǝⱪⱪaniyliⱪni ton ⱪilip kiyiwaldim, U meni ɵz gǝwdisi ⱪildi. Adalǝtlikim manga yepinqa ⱨǝm sǝllǝ bolƣan.
Being true and acting right were what I wore for clothing.
15 Mǝn korƣa kɵz bolattim, Tokurƣa put bolattim.
I was like eyes for the blind and feet for the lame.
16 Yoⱪsullarƣa ata bolattim, Manga natonux kixining dǝwasinimu tǝkxürüp qiⱪattim.
I was like a father to the poor, and I defended the rights of strangers.
17 Mǝn adalǝtsizning ⱨinggayƣan qixlirini qeⱪip taxlayttim, Oljisini qixliridin elip ketǝttim.
I broke the jaw of the wicked and made them drop their prey from their teeth.
18 Ⱨǝm: «Mening künlirim ⱪumdǝk kɵp bolup, Ɵz uwamda raⱨǝt iqidǝ ɵlimǝn» dǝyttim;
I thought I would die at home, after many years.
19 Ⱨǝm: «Yiltizim sularƣiqǝ tartilip baridu, Xǝbnǝm pütün keqiqǝ xehimƣa qaplixip yatidu;
Like a tree my roots spread out to the water; the dew rests on my branches overnight.
20 Xɵⱨritim ⱨǝrdaim mǝndǝ yengilinip turidu, Ⱪolumdiki oⱪyayim ⱨǝrdaim yengi bolup turidu» dǝyttim.
Fresh honors were always being given to me; my strength was renewed like an unfailing bow.
21 Adǝmlǝr manga ⱪulaⱪ salatti, kütüp turatti; Nǝsiⱨǝtlirini anglay dǝp süküt iqidǝ turatti.
People listened carefully to what I had to say; they kept quiet as they listened to my advice.
22 Mǝn gǝp ⱪilƣandin keyin ular ⱪayta gǝp ⱪilmaytti, Sɵzlirim ularning üstigǝ xǝbnǝm bolup qüxǝtti.
Once I had spoken they had nothing else to say; what I said was enough.
23 Ular yamƣurlarni kütkǝndǝk meni kütǝtti, Kixilǝr [waⱪtida yaƣⱪan] «keyinki yamƣur»ni ⱪarxi alƣandǝk sɵzlirimni aƣzini eqip iqǝtti!
They waited for me like people waiting for rain; their mouths wide open for the spring rain.
24 Ümidsizlǝnginidǝ mǝn ularƣa ⱪarap külümsirǝyttim, Yüzümdiki nurni ular yǝrgǝ qüxurmǝytti.
When I smiled at them they could hardly believe it; my approval meant all the world to them.
25 Mǝn ularƣa yolini tallap kɵrsitip berǝttim, Ularning arisida kattiwax bolup olturattim, Ⱪoxunliri arisida turƣan padixaⱨdǝk yaxayttim, Biraⱪ buning bilǝn matǝm tutidiƣanlarƣa tǝsǝlli yǝtküzgüqimu bolattim».
I decided the way forward as their leader, living like a king among his soldiers, and when they were sad I comforted them.
