Tell me please what is the meaning of やらなればならない, maybe it's やらなければならない but still... Full sentence: 国がやらなればならない全てのことを、不蝕金鎖が担い、一定の秩序をつくりあげたのだ。 Thank you very much for the help! enter image description here

As you correctly guessed, it is a typo for やらなければならない. – Tsuyoshi Ito Feb 16 at 19:56

As @Tsuyoshi points out, やらなればならない is a typo. However, やらなければならない (and the more or less equivalent やらなくてはならない) do have several well-established contractions:

  • やらなけりゃならない
  • やらなきゃならない
  • やらなくちゃならない

その最後の「ならなけば」がちょっと・・。なんて書こうとしたんですか？ – Chocolate Feb 16 at 22:52
@Chocolate: Maybe やらなくば? – Tsuyoshi Ito Feb 16 at 23:13
@Chocolate 僕は使わないんですが……聞いたことがあると思って、グーグルでも49ページも出ています。実際あまりおかしいんですかね、やっぱり。 – user1205935 Feb 16 at 23:37

@user1205935 I think なくば is an old way of saying なければ: japanese.stackexchange.com/a/11212/1478 – snailboat♦ Feb 16 at 23:44

(1) ならなけば is definitely not a contraction of やらなければ. If anything, it is a contraction of ならなければ. But I think that it is just a typo. (2) I could justify やらなくばならない as a mixture of classical Japanese and modern Japanese, but I agree that it is rare. – Tsuyoshi Ito Feb 16 at 23:45
