અયૂબ 12
Then Job answered,
“No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?
4 ૪ મારા પડોશીઓ હાંસીપાત્ર ગણે તેવો હું છું; હું, જેણે ઈશ્વરને પ્રાર્થના કરી અને જેને ઈશ્વરે ઉત્તર પણ આપ્યો તે હું છું; હું, નિર્દોષ અને સંપૂર્ણ માણસ જે હમણાં હાંસીપાત્ર ગણાય તે હું છું.
I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
5 ૫ જેઓ પોતે સુખી છે તેઓ દુર્ભાગી માણસનો તિરસ્કાર કરે છે; જ્યારે કોઈ માણસ ઠોકર ખાય છે ત્યારે તેઓ એમ જ કરે છે.
In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
6 ૬ લૂટારુઓનાં ઘર આબાદ થાય છે, અને ઈશ્વરને પડકારનારાઓ સુરક્ષિત હોય છે; તેઓની તાકાત તે જ તેમનો ઈશ્વર છે.
The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.
“But ask the animals now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. The fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who doesn’t know that in all these, the LORD’s hand has done this,
in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
Doesn’t the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.
“With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
14 ૧૪ ઈશ્વર જે તોડી નાખે છે તેને કોઈ ફરીથી બાંધી શકતું નથી; જ્યારે તે માણસને કેદ કરે છે, ત્યારે કોઈ તેને છોડાવી શકતું નથી.
Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15 ૧૫ જુઓ, જો તે વરસાદને અટકાવે છે, એટલે જમીન સુકાઈ જાય છે; અને જ્યારે તે તેને છોડી દે છે, ત્યારે તે ભૂમિ પર ફરી વળે છે.
Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.
He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
He loosens the bond of kings. He binds their waist with a belt.
He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.
He removes the speech of those who are trusted, and takes away the understanding of the elders.
He pours contempt on princes, and loosens the belt of the strong.
He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
24 ૨૪ તે પૃથ્વીના લોકોના આગેવાનોની સમજશકિત હણી લે છે; અને તેઓને દિશા-વિહોણા અરણ્યમાં રખડતા કરી મૂકે છે.
He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.
