ইয়োবের বিবরণ 29
And Job adds to lift up his allegory and says:
“Who makes me as [in] months past, As [in] the days of God’s preserving me?
In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I walk [through] darkness.
As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God on my tent.
When yet the Mighty One [is] with me. Around me—my young ones,
When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock [is] with me—streams of oil.
When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.
8 ৮ যুবকেরা আমায় দেখল এবং তারা সম্মানে আমার থেকে দূরত্ব বজায় রাখত এবং বৃদ্ধেরা আমার জন্য উঠে দাঁড়াত।
Youths have seen me, and they have been hidden, And the aged have risen—they stood up.
Princes have kept in words, And they place a hand on their mouth.
The voice of leaders has been hidden, And their tongue has cleaved to the palate.
For the ear heard, and declares me blessed, And the eye has seen, and testifies [to] me.
12 ১২ কারণ আমি দরিদ্র লোকদের উদ্ধার করতাম যারা কষ্টে চিত্কার করত এবং যার কেউ নেই সেই পিতৃহীনকেও সাহায্য করতাম।
For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who has no helper.
The blessing of the perishing comes on me, And I cause the heart of the widow to sing.
14 ১৪ আমি ধার্ম্মিকতা পরতাম এবং এটা আমায় ঢাকত; আমার ন্যায়বিচার কাপড়ের মত ছিল এবং একটা পাগড়ির মত ছিল।
I have put on righteousness, and it clothes me, My justice as a robe and a crown.
I have been eyes to the blind, And I [am] feet to the lame.
I [am] a father to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out.
And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey.
And I say, I expire with my nest, And I multiply days as the sand.
My root is open to the waters, And dew lodges on my branch.
My glory [is] fresh with me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.
They have listened to me, Indeed, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
After my word they do not change, And my speech drops on them,
23 ২৩ তারা যেমন বৃষ্টির জন্য, তেমনি আমার জন্যও সবদিন অপেক্ষা করত; শেষের বর্ষার মত তারা আমার কথা পান করত।
And they wait for me as [for] rain, And they have opened wide their mouth [As] for the spring rain.
I laugh at them—they give no credence, And do not cause the light of my face to fall.
25 ২৫ আমি তাদের পথ ঠিক করতাম এবং তাদের প্রধানের মত বসতাম; আমি রাজার মত বাঁচতাম তার সৈন্যদলে, ঠিক একজন ব্যক্তির মত যে শোক সভায় শোকার্তদের সান্ত্বনা দেয়।
I choose their way, and sit [as] head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When he comforts mourners.”
