যোব 22
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
4 ৪ তেওঁলৈ তোমাৰ কি ভয়, তাৰ কাৰণেহে তেওঁ জানো তোমাক অনুযোগ কৰে? তাৰ নিমিত্তেহে জানো তেওঁ তোমাৰ লগত বিচাৰত সোমাব?
Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgement?
Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honourable man, he lived in it.
You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17 ১৭ সেই সময়ত সিহঁতে ঈশ্বৰক কৈছিল, “আমাৰ পৰা দূৰ হোৱা;” আৰু “সৰ্ব্বশক্তিমান জনাই আমাৰ অৰ্থে কি কৰিব পাৰে?”
who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
18 ১৮ তথাপি তেওঁ সিহঁতৰ ঘৰবোৰ উত্তম উত্তম দ্ৰব্যেৰে পৰিপূৰ্ণ কৰিছিল; কিন্তু দুষ্টবোৰৰ আলচ মোৰ পৰা দূৰত থাকে।
Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
20 ২০ আৰু কয়, “আমাৰ বিৰুদ্ধে উঠাবোৰ নিশ্চয়ে বিনষ্ট হল; আৰু সিহঁতৰ প্ৰচুৰ সম্পত্তি অগ্নিয়ে গ্রাস কৰিলে।”
saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
“Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23 ২৩ যদি তুমি সৰ্ব্বশক্তিমান জনালৈ ঘূৰা, আৰু তোমাৰ তম্বুৰ পৰা অধৰ্ম দূৰ কৰা, তেন্তে তুমি পুনৰায় উন্নতি লাভ কৰিবা।
If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir amongst the stones of the brooks.
The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.
You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
