Ayup 4

1 Temanliⱪ Elifaz jawabǝn mundaⱪ dedi: —

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

2 «Birsi sǝn bilǝn sɵzlǝxmǝkqi bolsa, eƣir alamsǝn? Biraⱪ kim aƣziƣa kǝlgǝn gǝpni yutuwatalaydu?

If anyone tries to speak with you, will you be impatient? But who can stop himself from speaking?

3 Ⱪara, sǝn kɵp adǝmlǝrgǝ tǝlim-tǝrbiyǝ bǝrgǝn adǝmsǝn, Sǝn jansiz ⱪollarƣa küq bǝrgǝnsǝn,

See, you have instructed many; you have strengthened weak hands.

4 Sɵzliring dǝldǝngxip aran mangidiƣanlarni riƣbǝtlǝndürgǝn, Tizliri pükülgǝnlǝrni yɵligǝnsǝn.

Your words have supported him who was falling; you have made feeble knees firm.

5 Biraⱪ ⱨazir nɵwǝt sanga kǝldi, Xuningliⱪ bilǝn ⱨalingdin kǝtting, Balayi’apǝt sanga tegixi bilǝn, Sǝn alaⱪzadǝ bolup kǝtting.

But now trouble has come to you, and you are weary; it touches you, and you are troubled.

6 Ihlasmǝnliking tayanqing bolup kǝlmigǝnmu? Yolliringdiki durusluⱪ ümidingning asasi ǝmǝsmidi?

Is not your fear your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?

7 Esinggǝ al, kim bigunaⱨ turup wǝyran bolup baⱪⱪan? Duruslarning ⱨayati nǝdǝ üzülüp ⱪalƣan?

Think about this, please: Who has ever perished when innocent? Or when were the upright people ever cut off?

8 Mǝn kɵrginimdǝk, gunaⱨ bilǝn yǝr aƣdurup awariqilik teriƣanlar, Ohxaxla ⱨosul alidu.

According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap it.

9 Tǝngrining bir nǝpisi bilǝnla ular gumran bolidu, Uning ƣǝzipining partlixi bilǝn ular yoⱪilip ketidu.

By the breath of God they perish; by the blast of his anger they are consumed.

10 Xirning ⱨɵrkirǝxliri, Ⱨǝm ǝxǝddiy xirning awazi [bar bolsimu], Xir arslanlirining qixliri sundurulidu;

The roaring of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions—they are broken.

11 Batur xir bolsa ow tapalmay yoⱪilixⱪa yüzlinidu, Qixi xirning küqükliri qeqilip ketidu.

The old lion perishes for lack of victims; the cubs of the lioness are scattered everywhere.

12 — Mana, manga bir sɵz ƣayibanǝ kǝldi, Ⱪuliⱪimƣa bir xiwirliƣan awaz kirdi,

Now a certain matter was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper about it.

13 Tün keqidiki ƣayibanǝ kɵrünüxlǝrdin qiⱪⱪan oylarda, Adǝmlǝrni qongⱪur uyⱪu basⱪanda,

Then came thoughts from visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on people.

14 Ⱪorⱪunq wǝ titrǝkmu meni basti, Sɵngǝk-sɵngǝklirimni titritiwǝtti;

It was at night when fear and trembling came upon me, and all my bones shook.

15 Kɵz aldimdin bir roⱨ ɵtüp kǝtti; Bǝdinimdiki tüklirim ⱨürpiyip kǝtti.

Then a spirit passed before my face, and the hair of my flesh stood up.

16 U roⱨ ornida midirlimay turdi, biraⱪ turⱪini kɵrǝlmidim; Kɵz aldimda bir gǝwdǝ turuptu; Xiwirliƣan bir awaz anglandi: —

The spirit stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, and I heard a voice that said,

17 «Insan balisi Tǝngridin ⱨǝⱪⱪaniy bolalamdu? Adǝm ɵz Yaratⱪuqisidin pak bolalamdu?

“Can a mortal man be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?

18 Mana, U Ɵz ⱪulliriƣa ixǝnmigǝn, Ⱨǝtta pǝrixtilirinimu «Nadanliⱪ ⱪilƣan!» dǝp ǝyibligǝn yǝrdǝ,

See, if God puts no trust in his servants; if he accuses his angels of folly,

19 Uli topilardin bolƣan insanlar, Laydin yasalƣan ɵylǝrdǝ turƣuqilar ⱪandaⱪ bolar!? Ular pǝrwanidinmu asanla yanjilidu!

how much more is this true of those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed sooner than a moth?

20 Ular tang bilǝn kǝq ariliⱪida kukum-talⱪan bolidu; Ular ⱨeqkim nǝzirigǝ almiƣan ⱨalda mǝnggügǝ yoⱪilidu.

Between morning and evening they are destroyed; they perish forever without anyone noticing them.

21 Ularning qedir tanisi yulup taxlanƣanƣu? Ular ⱨeq danaliⱪⱪa tehi erixmǝyla ɵlüp ketidu!».

Are not their tent cords plucked up among them? They die; they die without wisdom.
