Ayup 29
1 Ayup bayanini dawamlaxturup mundaⱪ dedi: —
Job spoke again,
2 «Aⱨ, ǝⱨwalim ilgiriki aylardikidǝk bolsidi, Tǝngri mǝndin hǝwǝr alƣan künlǝrdikidǝk bolsidi!
“I wish/desire that I could be like I was previously, during the years when God took care of me.
3 U qaƣda Uning qiriƣi beximƣa nur qaqⱪan, Uning yoruⱪluⱪi bilǝn ⱪarangƣuluⱪtin ɵtüp kǝtkǝn 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 ixlar mǝn ⱪiran waⱪtimda, Yǝni Tǝngri qedirimda manga sirdax [dost] bolƣan waⱪitta bolƣanidi!
At that time I was young and strong, and because God was my friend, [he protected] [PRS] my tent.
5 Ⱨǝmmigǝ Ⱪadir mǝn bilǝn billǝ bolƣan, Mening yax balilirim ǝtrapimda bolƣan;
Almighty [God] was with me during those years when all my children were around me.
6 Mening basⱪan ⱪǝdǝmlirim seriⱪ mayƣa qɵmülgǝn; Yenimdiki tax mǝn üqün zǝytun may dǝryasi bolup aⱪⱪan;
[My herds] provided me with plenty of milk, and streams of oil flowed from the rock where my olives were pressed.
7 Xǝⱨǝr dǝrwazisiƣa qiⱪⱪan waⱪtimda, Kǝng mǝydanda ornum tǝyyarlanƣanda,
“Whenever I went to [the place where the elders gathered at] the city gate, I sat down with them,
8 Yaxlar meni kɵrüpla ǝyminip ɵzlirini qǝtkǝ alatti, Ⱪerilar bolsa ornidin turatti,
and when the young men saw me, they stepped aside [respectfully], and the old men [also] stood [respectfully].
9 Xaⱨzadilǝrmu gǝptin tohtap, Ⱪoli bilǝn aƣzini etiwalatti.
The leaders of the people stopped talking [DOU],
10 Aⱪsɵngǝklǝrmu tinqlinip, Tilini tangliyiƣa qapliwalatti.
and even the most important men became quiet and ceased talking [MTY] [in order to hear me speak to them].
11 Ⱪulaⱪ sɵzümni anglisila, manga bǝht tilǝytti, Kɵz meni kɵrsila manga yahxi guwaⱨliⱪ berǝtti.
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 Qünki mǝn manga ⱨimayǝ bol dǝp yelinƣan ezilgüqilǝrni, Panaⱨsiz ⱪalƣan yetim-yesirlarnimu ⱪutⱪuzup 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 Ⱨalak bolay degǝn kixi manga bǝht tilǝytti; Mǝn tul hotunning kɵnglini xadlandurup nahxa yangratⱪuzattim.
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 Mǝn ⱨǝⱪⱪaniyliⱪni ton ⱪilip kiyiwaldim, U meni ɵz gǝwdisi ⱪildi. Adalǝtlikim manga yepinqa ⱨǝm sǝllǝ bolƣan.
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 Mǝn korƣa kɵz bolattim, Tokurƣa put bolattim.
[It was as though] [MET] I was eyes for blind people and feet for people who were lame.
16 Yoⱪsullarƣa ata bolattim, Manga natonux kixining dǝwasinimu tǝkxürüp qiⱪattim.
I was [like] [MET] a father to poor people, and in courts I defended those who were strangers.
17 Mǝn adalǝtsizning ⱨinggayƣan qixlirini qeⱪip taxlayttim, Oljisini qixliridin elip ketǝttim.
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 Ⱨǝm: «Mening künlirim ⱪumdǝk kɵp bolup, Ɵz uwamda raⱨǝt iqidǝ ɵlimǝn» dǝyttim;
“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 Ⱨǝm: «Yiltizim sularƣiqǝ tartilip baridu, Xǝbnǝm pütün keqiqǝ xehimƣa qaplixip yatidu;
I was [like a tree] [MET] whose roots reach down into the water and whose branches become wet with dew each night.
20 Xɵⱨritim ⱨǝrdaim mǝndǝ yengilinip turidu, Ⱪolumdiki oⱪyayim ⱨǝrdaim yengi bolup turidu» dǝyttim.
People always honored me, and I was always [strong like] [MET] a new bow.
21 Adǝmlǝr manga ⱪulaⱪ salatti, kütüp turatti; Nǝsiⱨǝtlirini anglay dǝp süküt iqidǝ turatti.
“When I spoke, people waited to hear [what I would say] and remained silent until I advised them [what they should do].
22 Mǝn gǝp ⱪilƣandin keyin ular ⱪayta gǝp ⱪilmaytti, Sɵzlirim ularning üstigǝ xǝbnǝm bolup qüxǝtti.
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 yamƣurlarni kütkǝndǝk meni kütǝtti, Kixilǝr [waⱪtida yaƣⱪan] «keyinki yamƣur»ni ⱪarxi alƣandǝk sɵzlirimni aƣzini eqip iqǝtti!
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 Ümidsizlǝnginidǝ mǝn ularƣa ⱪarap külümsirǝyttim, Yüzümdiki nurni ular yǝrgǝ qüxurmǝytti.
When they were discouraged, I smiled at them [to encourage them]; they became encouraged when they saw that I approved of 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 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.”
