ইয়োবের বিবরণ 32
Then those three men stopped answering Job, because [they could not convince Job that he was wrong in claiming that] he had not done anything that was wrong.
2 ২ তখন রাম বংশভূত বূষীয় বারখেলের ছেলে ইলীহূর রাগ জ্বলে উঠল; ইয়োবের বিরুদ্ধে তার রাগ জ্বলে উঠে ছিল কারণ তিনি নিজেকে ঈশ্বরের থেকেও ন্যায়ী দেখাচ্ছিলেন।
Then Elihu, the son of Barachel, a descendant of Buz, from the clan of Ram, became very angry at Job. He was angry because Job continued to claim that he was righteous/innocent, and that God was wrong [to punish him].
3 ৩ ইলীহূর রাগ তার তিন বন্ধুর বিরুদ্ধেও জ্বলে উঠেছিল কারণ তারা ইয়োবকে দেওয়ার মত কোন উত্তর খুঁজে পায় নি এবং তবুও তারা ইয়োবকে দোষী করেছে।
He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had declared that Job must have done many things that were wrong, but they were unable to convince Job [that what they said was true]. As a result, [it seemed to Elihu that] God did what was wrong by punishing Job.
Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
6 ৬ তখন বূষীয় বারখেলের ছেলে ইলীহূ বক্তব্য রাখলেন এবং বললেন, আমি যুবক এবং আপনারা অনেক বৃদ্ধ। এই কারণেই আমি চুপ করে ছিলাম এবং আমার নিজের মতামত আপনাদের জানাতে সাহস করিনি।
And this is what he said: “I am young, and you all are much older than I am. So, I was timid, and I was afraid to tell you what I was thinking.
I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
“So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
11 ১১ দেখুন, আমি আপনাদের কথার জন্য অপেক্ষা করেছি; আমি আপনাদের তর্ক বিতর্ক শুনেছি, যখন আপনারা ভাবছিলেন কি বলবেন।
I waited for you all to speak; I wanted to hear the wise things that you would say. I waited while you thought carefully about what [would be the right things] to say.
12 ১২ সত্যি, আমি আপনাদের দিকে মনোযোগ দিয়েছিলাম, কিন্তু, দেখুন, আপনাদের মধ্যে কেউ এমন নেই যে ইয়োবকে সন্তুষ্ট করতে পারে অথবা যে তার কথার উত্তর দিতে পারে।”
I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
So, do not say [to yourselves], ‘We have discovered what is wise!’ It is God who must (refute Job/show that what Job said was wrong), because you three have not been able to do that.
Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
“You three are dismayed [because you have not been able to convince him that he was wrong], so you are not saying any more to him [DOU].
16 ১৬ আমিও কি অপেক্ষা করব কারণ তারা কথা বলছে না, কারণ তারা সেখানে চুপ করে দাঁড়িয়ে আছে এবং আর উত্তর করছে না?
But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.
So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
19 ১৯ দেখ, আমার হৃদয় অনেকটা বোতলের দ্রাক্ষারসের মত যার কোন ফুটো নেই; অনেকটা নতুন দ্রাক্ষারসের কলসির মত যা ফেটে যাওয়ার অবস্থা।
My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
I must speak [MTY], in order that I do not have to keep holding what I want to say; I must say something [MTY] to reply [to you all].
I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
22 ২২ কারণ আমি জানি না সেরকম উপাধি কীভাবে দিতে হয়; যদি আমি তা করে থাকি, তবে আমার সৃষ্টিকর্ত্তা আমায় খুব তাড়াতাড়ি সরিয়ে দেবেন।
I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
