ইয়োবের বিবরণ 39
1 ১ পাহাড়ের বুনো ছাগল কখন তাদের বাচ্চার জন্ম দেবে তুমি কি জান? হরিণ কখন তার বাচ্চার জন্ম দেবে সেই দিন নির্ণয় করতে পার?
[Say] if thou knowest the time of the bringing forth of the wild goats of the rock, and [if] thou hast marked the calving of the hinds:
and [if] thou has hast numbered the full months of their being with young, and [if] thou hast relieved their pangs:
and hast reared their young without fear; and wilt thou loosen their pangs?
Their young will break forth; they will be multiplied with offspring: [their young] will go forth, and will not return to them.
And who is he that sent forth the wild ass free? and who loosed his bands?
whereas I made his habitation the wilderness, and the salt land his coverts.
He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer.
He will survey the mountains [as] his pasture, and he seeks after every green thing.
And will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or to lie down at thy manger?
10 ১০ একটা দড়ি দিয়ে, তুমি কি সেই ষাঁড়কে বশ করে হাল দেওয়াতে পারবে? সে কি তোমার জন্য উপত্যকায় মই দেবে?
And wilt thou bind his yoke with thongs, or will he plough furrows for thee in the plain?
11 ১১ তুমি কি তাকে বিশ্বাস করবে কারণ তার শক্তি অনেক? তুমি কি তোমার কাজ তার ওপর ছেড়ে দেবে করার জন্য?
And dost thou trust him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou commit thy works to him?
And wilt thou believe that he will return to thee thy seed, and bring [it] in [to] thy threshing-floor?
The peacock has a beautiful wing: if the stork and the ostrich conceive, [it is worthy of notice],
for [the ostrich] will leave her eggs in the ground, and warm them on the dust,
15 ১৫ সে ভুলে যায় যে পায়ের তলায় সেগুলো চূর্ণ হতে পারে অথবা সে ভুলে যায় যে বন্য পশু সেগুলোকে মাড়াতে পারে।
and has forgotten that the foot will scatter them, and the wild beasts of the field trample them.
16 ১৬ সে তার বাচ্চাদের সঙ্গে কঠোর ব্যবহার করে যেন সেই বাচ্চাগুলো তার নয়; সে ভয় পায় না যে তার সমস্ত পরিশ্রম বৃথা যেতে পারে,
She has hardened [herself] against her young ones, as though [she bereaved] not herself: she labours in vain without fear.
For God has withholden wisdom from her, and not given her a portion in understanding.
In her season she will lift herself on high; she will scorn the horse and his rider.
Hast thou invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror?
And hast thou clad him in perfect armour, and made his breast glorious with courage?
He paws exulting in the plain, and goes forth in strength into the plain.
He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, and will by no means turn back from the sword.
The bow and sword resound against him; and [his] rage will swallow up the ground:
24 ২৪ সে উগ্রতায় এবং রাগে ভূমি খেয়ে ফেলে; শিঙ্গার আওয়াজ শুনলে, সে এক জায়গায় দাঁড়িয়ে থাকতে পারে না।
and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds.
25 ২৫ যখনই শিঙ্গা আওয়াজ করে, সে বলে, ওহো! সে দূর থেকে যুদ্ধের গন্ধ পায় সেনাপতিদের গর্জ্জন এবং চিত্কার শুনে।
And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing.
And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south?
And does the eagle rise at thy command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest,
on a crag of a rock, and in a secret [place]?
Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far.
And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcasses may be, immediately they are found.
