যোব 9
Then Job answered:
“Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God?
If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
4 ৪ ঈশ্বৰৰ অন্তৰত জ্ঞান আছে, আৰু শক্তিত তেওঁ পৰাক্ৰমী; তেওঁৰ বিৰুদ্ধে ডিঙি ঠৰ কৰি কোনে কেতিয়া উন্নতি লাভ কৰিলে?
God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?
5 ৫ তেওঁ পৰ্ব্বতবোৰ স্থানান্তৰ কৰে; আৰু তেওঁ সেইবোৰক নিজ ক্ৰোধত লুটিয়াই পেলাওঁতে সেইবোৰে একো গম নাপায়।
He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger.
He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.
He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.
He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.
11 ১১ চোৱা, তেওঁ মোৰ ওচৰেদি যায়, কিন্তু মই নেদেখোঁ; তেওঁ মোৰ সম্মুখেদি গমন কৰে, তথাপি মই তেওঁক অনুভৱ নকৰোঁ।
Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him.
If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.
How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
15 ১৫ মই যদি ধাৰ্মিকো হওঁ, তথাপি তেওঁক মই উত্তৰ দিব নোৱাৰোঁ; মোৰ অভিযোক্তাৰ দয়াৰ বাবে মই মাথোন নিবেদনহে কৰিব পাৰোঁ।
For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
16 ১৬ যদিও মই মাতো আৰু তেওঁ মোক উত্তৰ দিয়ে; তথাপি তেওঁ যে মোৰ মিনতিলৈ কাণ পাতিব, মোৰ এনে বিশ্বাস নজন্মে।
If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.
For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.
He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
19 ১৯ পৰাক্ৰমীৰ বলৰ কথাত হলে, তেওঁ কয়, চোৱা, মই আছোঁ, আৰু যদি বিচাৰৰ কথাত কয়, কোনে মোৰ নিমিত্তে দিন নিৰূপণ কৰিব?
If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?
Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.
Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23 ২৩ আপদৰূপ চাবুকে যদি মানুহক অকস্মাতে মাৰি পেলায়, তেন্তে তেওঁ নিৰ্দ্দোষীবিলাকৰ নিৰাশা দেখি হাঁহিব।
When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 ২৪ পৃথিৱী দুৰ্জনৰ হাতত শোধাই দিয়া হয়; তেওঁ তাৰ বিচাৰকৰ্ত্তাবিলাকৰ মুখ ঢাকে; যদি তেওঁ নহয়, তেন্তে তাকনো কোনে কৰে?
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?
If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,
then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.
For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both.
Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me.
Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own.
