Job 31
1 “I solemnly promised myself that I would not look at a young woman with a desire [to have sex with her].
१“मैंने अपनी आँखों के विषय वाचा बाँधी है, फिर मैं किसी कुँवारी पर क्यों आँखें लगाऊँ?
2 [If I did not do what I promised, ] what would God who is in heaven [MTY] do to me [RHQ]? Almighty [God] would certainly not [RHQ] give me any reward!
२क्योंकि परमेश्वर स्वर्ग से कौन सा अंश और सर्वशक्तिमान ऊपर से कौन सी सम्पत्ति बाँटता है?
3 [Previously I thought that] surely [RHQ] it was unrighteous people who would experience calamities, and that it was those who do what is wrong who would experience disasters.
३क्या वह कुटिल मनुष्यों के लिये विपत्ति और अनर्थ काम करनेवालों के लिये सत्यानाश का कारण नहीं है?
4 God certainly sees [RHQ] everything that I do, [so why is he causing me to suffer?] [It is as though] he counts every step that I take.
४क्या वह मेरी गति नहीं देखता और क्या वह मेरे पग-पग नहीं गिनता?
5 [“I solemnly declare that] I have never acted wickedly and have never tried to deceive people.
५यदि मैं व्यर्थ चाल चलता हूँ, या कपट करने के लिये मेरे पैर दौड़े हों;
6 I request only that God judge me fairly [MET], and if he does that, he will know that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong).
६(तो मैं धर्म के तराजू में तौला जाऊँ, ताकि परमेश्वर मेरी खराई को जान ले)।
7 If [it were true that] I have stopped living righteously, or [that] I [SYN] have desired the things that I look at [MTY], or [that] I am guilty of any other sin,
७यदि मेरे पग मार्ग से बहक गए हों, और मेरा मन मेरी आँखों की देखी चाल चला हो, या मेरे हाथों में कुछ कलंक लगा हो;
8 then I hope/wish that when I plant [seeds], someone else will [harvest the crops and] eat [them] and that others will uproot the [fruit trees] that I planted.
८तो मैं बीज बोऊँ, परन्तु दूसरा खाए; वरन् मेरे खेत की उपज उखाड़ डाली जाए।
9 “If [it were true that] I [SYN] have been attracted by some other man’s wife, or [that] I have hidden myself and waited outside [the] door [to] her [house],
९“यदि मेरा हृदय किसी स्त्री पर मोहित हो गया है, और मैं अपने पड़ोसी के द्वार पर घात में बैठा हूँ;
10 I hope/desire that my wife will become the servant/slave of another man and have sex [EUP] with him.
१०तो मेरी स्त्री दूसरे के लिये पीसे, और पराए पुरुष उसको भ्रष्ट करें।
11 [For me to do] that would be a terrible sin, and the judges would decide that I should be punished.
११क्योंकि वह तो महापाप होता; और न्यायियों से दण्ड पाने के योग्य अधर्म का काम होता;
12 My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned)
१२क्योंकि वह ऐसी आग है जो जलाकर भस्म कर देती है, और वह मेरी सारी उपज को जड़ से नाश कर देती है।
13 “And, if [it were true that] I have ever refused to listen to one of my male or female servants when they complained to me about something,
१३“जब मेरे दास व दासी ने मुझसे झगड़ा किया, तब यदि मैंने उनका हक़ मार दिया हो;
14 God would arise [and declare that he would punish me]; and when he would do that, what would I do? If he would ask me [about what I have done], (what would I answer?/I would not be able to answer.) [RHQ]
१४तो जब परमेश्वर उठ खड़ा होगा, तब मैं क्या करूँगा? और जब वह आएगा तब मैं क्या उत्तर दूँगा?
15 God, who created me, certainly also created my servants [RHQ]; surely he is the one who formed them and me in our mothers’ wombs [RHQ]; [so we all should behave toward each other equally].
१५क्या वह उसका बनानेवाला नहीं जिसने मुझे गर्भ में बनाया? क्या एक ही ने हम दोनों की सूरत गर्भ में न रची थी?
16 “I have guided orphans from the time that they were born; I have taken care of them since they were young. So, if [it were true that] I ate all my food myself and did not share some of it with orphans, or [that] I refused to give poor people the things that they wanted, or [that] I caused widows to live (in despair/without hope [that they would receive any help from anyone]),
१६“यदि मैंने कंगालों की इच्छा पूरी न की हो, या मेरे कारण विधवा की आँखें कभी निराश हुई हों,
१७या मैंने अपना टुकड़ा अकेला खाया हो, और उसमें से अनाथ न खाने पाए हों,
१८(परन्तु वह मेरे लड़कपन ही से मेरे साथ इस प्रकार पला जिस प्रकार पिता के साथ, और मैं जन्म ही से विधवा को पालता आया हूँ);
19 or [that] I had seen people die [from cold] because they had no clothes, or [that] I had seen poor people who did not have clothes [to keep them warm],
१९यदि मैंने किसी को वस्त्रहीन मरते हुए देखा, या किसी दरिद्र को जिसके पास ओढ़ने को न था
20 and they were not able to become warm [from clothes made] from the wool of my sheep with the result that they thanked me for [giving them clothes, ]
२०और उसको अपनी भेड़ों की ऊन के कपड़े न दिए हों, और उसने गर्म होकर मुझे आशीर्वाद न दिया हो;
21 or if [it were true that] I threatened to strike any orphan because I knew that the elders at the city gates would (decide in my favor);
२१या यदि मैंने फाटक में अपने सहायक देखकर अनाथों के मारने को अपना हाथ उठाया हो,
22 [if those things were true about me], I hope/desire that my shoulder blade would be torn out and my arm be torn from my shoulder.
२२तो मेरी बाँह कंधे से उखड़कर गिर पड़े, और मेरी भुजा की हड्डी टूट जाए।
23 I always feared that God would cause me to experience a great disaster [if I did any of those evil things], and I would not have been able to endure the powerful [things that he would do to punish me].
२३क्योंकि परमेश्वर के प्रताप के कारण मैं ऐसा नहीं कर सकता था, क्योंकि उसकी ओर की विपत्ति के कारण मैं भयभीत होकर थरथराता था।
24 “If [it were true that] I trusted in my gold/money [DOU],
२४“यदि मैंने सोने का भरोसा किया होता, या कुन्दन को अपना आसरा कहा होता,
25 or that I rejoiced because I had acquired many things and had become very rich,
२५या अपने बहुत से धन या अपनी बड़ी कमाई के कारण आनन्द किया होता,
26 or that I looked at the sun when it was shining or looked at the beautiful moon
२६या सूर्य को चमकते या चन्द्रमा को महाशोभा से चलते हुए देखकर
27 and I [SYN] had been tempted [to worship them] by kissing my hand to revere them,
२७मैं मन ही मन मोहित हो गया होता, और अपने मुँह से अपना हाथ चूम लिया होता;
28 those things also would be sins for which the judges would say that I must be punished, because I would have been rejecting God [by doing those things].
२८तो यह भी न्यायियों से दण्ड पाने के योग्य अधर्म का काम होता; क्योंकि ऐसा करके मैंने सर्वश्रेष्ठ परमेश्वर का इन्कार किया होता।
29 “[It is not true that] I [SYN] sinned by requesting God to curse people who hated me with the result that God would cause them to die. It is also not true that I was glad when they were ruined or that I rejoiced when they experienced disasters [DOU].
२९“यदि मैं अपने बैरी के नाश से आनन्दित होता, या जब उस पर विपत्ति पड़ी तब उस पर हँसा होता;
३०(परन्तु मैंने न तो उसको श्राप देते हुए, और न उसके प्राणदण्ड की प्रार्थना करते हुए अपने मुँह से पाप किया है);
31 [It is also not true that] I never welcomed travelers to stay in my tent or that I did not open my doors to them, but [forced them to] sleep in the streets. [All] the men who work for me certainly know that [RHQ]!
३१यदि मेरे डेरे के रहनेवालों ने यह न कहा होता, ‘ऐसा कोई कहाँ मिलेगा, जो इसके यहाँ का माँस खाकर तृप्त न हुआ हो?’
३२(परदेशी को सड़क पर टिकना न पड़ता था; मैं बटोही के लिये अपना द्वार खुला रखता था);
33 Some people try to hide their sins, but I have never done that;
३३यदि मैंने आदम के समान अपना अपराध छिपाकर अपने अधर्म को ढाँप लिया हो,
34 and I never remained silent and refused to go outside of my home because I was very (afraid of/worried about) what people would say [about me], and that they would hate/scorn me.
३४इस कारण कि मैं बड़ी भीड़ से भय खाता था, या कुलीनों से तुच्छ किए जाने से डर गया यहाँ तक कि मैं द्वार से बाहर न निकला-
35 “I wish/desire that there was someone who would hear what I am saying! I solemnly declare [that all that I have said is true]. I wish that those who oppose me would write down [on a scroll] the evil things that they say that I did.
३५भला होता कि मेरा कोई सुननेवाला होता! सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वर अभी मेरा न्याय चुकाए! देखो, मेरा दस्तखत यही है। भला होता कि जो शिकायतनामा मेरे मुद्दई ने लिखा है वह मेरे पास होता!
36 [If they did that, ] I would wear that scroll on my shoulder, or wear it on top of my head, [in order that everyone could see it].
३६निश्चय मैं उसको अपने कंधे पर उठाए फिरता; और सुन्दर पगड़ी जानकर अपने सिर में बाँधे रहता।
37 I would tell [God] everything that I have done, and I would approach him [confidently], like a ruler would.
३७मैं उसको अपने पग-पग का हिसाब देता; मैं उसके निकट प्रधान के समान निडर जाता।
38 If [it were true that] I have stolen land, with the result that [it was as though] its furrows cried out to accuse me of stealing;
३८“यदि मेरी भूमि मेरे विरुद्ध दुहाई देती हो, और उसकी रेघारियाँ मिलकर रोती हों;
39 or [if it were true that] I have eaten the crops that grew in someone else’s fields without paying [for those crops], with the result that those farmers who grew those crops died [from hunger];
३९यदि मैंने अपनी भूमि की उपज बिना मजदूरी दिए खाई, या उसके मालिक का प्राण लिया हो;
40 then I wish/desire that thorns would grow [in my fields] instead of wheat. May bad weeds grow instead of barley!” That is the end of what Job said [to his three friends].
४०तो गेहूँ के बदले झड़बेरी, और जौ के बदले जंगली घास उगें!” अय्यूब के वचन पूरे हुए हैं।
