અયૂબ 15
And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,
Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good?
Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God.
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty.
6 ૬ મારા નહિ, પણ તારા પોતાના જ શબ્દો તને દોષિત ઠરાવે છે; હા, તારી વાણી જ તારી વિરુદ્ધ સાક્ષી પૂરે છે.
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.
Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills?
8 ૮ શું તેં ઈશ્વરના ગૂઢ ડહાપણ વિષે સાંભળ્યું છે ખરું? શું તેં બધી બુદ્ધિ તારા પોતાનામાં સમાવી રાખી છે?
Hast thou listened in the secret council of God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?
What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou which is not in us?
Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father.
Are the consolations of God too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?
What is man, that he should be pure? and he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:
How much less the abominable and corrupt, — man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water!
I will shew thee, listen to me; and what I have seen I will declare;
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hidden;
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20 ૨૦ દુર્જન તેના આખા જીવન પર્યંત પીડા ભોગવે છે, તે પોતાનાં નિયત કરેલાં વર્ષો દરમ્યાન કષ્ટથી પીડાય છે.
All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent.
The sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon him.
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is singled out for the sword.
He wandereth abroad for bread, — where may it be? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 ૨૪ સંકટ તથા વેદના તેને ભયભીત કરે છે; યુદ્ધને માટે સજ્જ થયેલા રાજાની જેમ તેઓ તેના પર વિજય મેળવે છે.
Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for the battle.
25 ૨૫ કેમ કે તેણે ઈશ્વરની સામે પોતાનો હાથ ઉઠાવ્યો છે અને સર્વશક્તિમાન ઈશ્વરની સામે તે અહંકારથી વર્તે છે.
For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:
He runneth against him, with [outstretched] neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;
27 ૨૭ આ સાચું છે, જો કે તેણે પોતાનું મુખ તેના શરીરની ચરબીથી ઢાંક્યું છે અને તેની કૂખો પર ચરબીનાં પડ બાઝ્યાં છે.
For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon [his] flanks.
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, in houses that no man inhabiteth, which are destined to become heaps.
He shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth.
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches; and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Let him not trust in vanity: he is deceived, for vanity shall be his recompense;
It shall be complete before his day, and his branch shall not be green.
33 ૩૩ દ્રાક્ષના વેલાની જેમ તે પોતાની કાચી દ્રાક્ષો પાડી નાખશે; અને જૈતૂનના વૃક્ષની જેમ તેનાં ફૂલ ખરી પડશે.
He shall shake off his unripe grapes as a vine, and shall cast his flower as an olive.
For the family of the ungodly shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
35 ૩૫ દુષ્ટ લોકો નુકસાનનો ગર્ભ ધારણ કરે છે. અને અન્યાયને જન્મ આપે છે; તેઓનું પેટ ઠગાઈને સિદ્ધ કરે છે.”
They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
