Ayubning sakkizinchi nutqi: u achchiq shikoyat qiladi
1 Shunda Ayub yana gapirdi:
2 “Bugun ham achchiq shikoyat qilaman ,
Oh–vohdan oʻzimni tuta olmayman.
3 Qaniydi, Xudoni qayerdan topishni bilsam,
Taxti oldiga borgan boʻlardim!
4 Uning oldiga barcha arzlarimni yoyib,
Oʻz daʼvolarimni aytgan boʻlardim.
5 Oʻshanda Uning javobini tinglagan boʻlardim,
Uning menga aytganlarini tushungan boʻlardim.
6 U buyuk qudrati bilan menga qarshi chiqarmidi?
Yoʻq, U menga quloq tutgan boʻlardi.
7 Ha, solih inson Unga kelib, arzini ayta oladi.
Oʻz Hakamim meni bir umrga oqlaydi.
8 Sharqqa borsam, Xudo yoʻqdir,
Gʻarbga borib ham Uni topolmayman.
9 Shimolda biror ish qilsa, men Uni koʻrolmayman,
Janub tomon burilsa ham Uni topolmayman.
10 U esa mening yurgan yoʻlimni biladi,
U meni sinagandan keyin sof tilladay boʻlaman.
11 Men faqat Xudoning yoʻlidan yurdim,
Uning yoʻlini tutdim, chetga ogʻmadim.
12 U bergan amrlardan chetga chiqmadim,
Kundalik rizqimdan ham koʻra
Uning soʻzlarini qimmatli bildim .
13 Xudo qarorida qatʼiy turadi,
Kim Uning fikrini oʻzgartira oladi?!
U nima xohlasa, shuni qiladi.
14 Menga qarshi tuzgan rejalarini
U oxirigacha bajaradi,
Uning bunday rejalari hali koʻp.
15 Shuning uchun Uning huzurida qoʻrquvga tushaman,
Bu haqda oʻylasam, meni vahima bosadi.
16 Xudo meni jurʼatsiz qilib qoʻydi,
Qodir Xudo meni dahshatga solib qoʻydi.
17 Ammo yuzimni qoplagan tim qorongʻilik,
Zulmat mening ovozimni oʻchira olmadi.
1 Then Job answered and said, 2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! 4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. 6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me. 7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: 10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. 12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food .
13 But he is in one mind , and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. 14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. 15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. 16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: 17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
