ইয়োবের বিবরণ 23
Then Job answered and said,
Even today is my complaint rebellious: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
7 ৭ সেখানে সরল লোক হয়ত তাঁর সঙ্গে বিচার করতে পারে। এই ভাবে আমি হয়ত আমার বিচারকের থেকে চিরকালের মত মুক্তি পেতে পারি।
There the upright might reason with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Behold, I go forward, but he is not [there]; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9 ৯ বামদিকে, যেখানে তিনি কাজ করেন, কিন্তু আমি তাঁকে দেখতে পাই না এবং ডানদিকে, যেখানে তিনি নিজেকে লুকিয়েছেন যাতে আমি তাঁকে দেখতে না পাই।
On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
10 ১০ কিন্তু তিনি জানেন আমি কোন পথ নিয়েছি; যখন তিনি আমায় পরীক্ষা করবেন, আমি সোনার মত বার হয়ে আসব।
But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot hath held fast to his steps; his way have I kept, and turned not aside.
12 ১২ তাঁর ঠোঁটের আদেশ থেকে আমি ফিরে যাই নি; তাঁর মুখের কথা আমি আমার হৃদয়ে সঞ্চয় করে রেখেছি, আমার প্রয়োজনীয় বিষয়েরও অধিক।
I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
For he performeth that which is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
Therefore am I troubled at his presence; when I consider, I am afraid of him.
For God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath troubled me:
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
