ইয়োবের বিবরণ 15
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?
Yes, you cast off fear, and restrain prayer before God.
For your mouth utters your iniquity, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
Your own mouth condemns you, and not I: yes, your own lips testify against you.
Are you the first man that was born? or were you made before the hills?
Have you heard the secret of God? and do you restrain wisdom to yourself?
What know you, that we know not? what understand you, which is not in us?
With us are both the gray headed and very aged men, much elder than your father.
Are the consolations of God small with you? is there any secret thing with you?
Why does your heart carry you away? and what do your eyes wink at,
That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he puts no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?
I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18 ১৮ সেই বিষয় যা জ্ঞানী লোকেরা তাদের বাবার থেকে পেয়েছে, সেই বিষয় যা তাদের পূর্ব্বপুরুষেরা গোপন রাখে নি।
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19 ১৯ এরাই তাদের পূর্বপুরুষ ছিল, যাদেরকে শুধু এই দেশ দেওয়া হয়েছে এবং যাদের মধ্যে কোন বিদেশী লোক ছিল না।
To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
The wicked man travails with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come on him.
He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 ২৪ দুঃখ এবং যন্ত্রণা তাকে ভয় দেখায়; তারা তার বিরুদ্ধে প্রবল হয়, যেমন একজন রাজা যুদ্ধের জন্য তৈরী হয়।
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25 ২৫ কারণ সে ঈশ্বরের বিরুদ্ধে হাত বাড়িয়েছে এবং সর্বশক্তিমানের বিরুদ্ধে অহঙ্কারীদের মত আচরণ করেছে,
For he stretches out his hand against God, and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
He runs on him, even on his neck, on the thick bosses of his bucklers:
Because he covers his face with his fatness, and makes bulges of fat on his flanks.
28 ২৮ এবং জনশূন্য শহরে বাস করত, সেই সব বাড়িতে বাস করত যাতে এখন কোন মানুষ বাস করে না এবং যা ঢিবি হওয়ার জন্য তৈরী ছিল।
And he dwells in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabits, which are ready to become heaps.
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof on the earth.
30 ৩০ সে অন্ধকার থেকে বেরবে না; একটা আগুন তার শাখা গুলোকে শুকিয়ে দেবে; ঈশ্বরের মুখের নিঃশ্বাসে সে চলে যাবে।
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepares deceit.
