અયૂબ 15
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
“Would a wise man answer with such empty ‘knowledge’ that is just a lot of hot air?
He wouldn't argue with unprofitable speeches using words that do no good.
But you are doing away with the fear of God, and destroying communion with him.
It's your sins that are doing the talking, and you are choosing deceptive words.
6 ૬ મારા નહિ, પણ તારા પોતાના જ શબ્દો તને દોષિત ઠરાવે છે; હા, તારી વાણી જ તારી વિરુદ્ધ સાક્ષી પૂરે છે.
Your own mouth is condemning you, not me; your own lips are testifying against you.
Were you the very first person to be born? Were you born before the hills were created?
8 ૮ શું તેં ઈશ્વરના ગૂઢ ડહાપણ વિષે સાંભળ્યું છે ખરું? શું તેં બધી બુદ્ધિ તારા પોતાનામાં સમાવી રાખી છે?
Were you there listening in God's council? Does wisdom only belong to you?
What do you know that we don't? What do you understand that we don't?
We have among us old, gray-haired people much older than your father!
Are the comforts God provides too little for you? Are God's gentle words not enough for you?
Why do you let yourself be carried away by your emotions?
Why do your eyes flash in anger that you turn against God and let yourself speak this way?
Who can say they are clean? Which human being can say that they do what is right?
Look, God doesn't even trust his angels—even the heavenly beings are not pure in his sight!
How much less pure are those who are unclean and corrupt, drinking in sin like water!
If you are ready to listen to me, I will show you. I will explain my insights.
This is what wise men have said, confirmed by their ancestors,
those who to whom alone the land was given before foreigners ever were there.
20 ૨૦ દુર્જન તેના આખા જીવન પર્યંત પીડા ભોગવે છે, તે પોતાનાં નિયત કરેલાં વર્ષો દરમ્યાન કષ્ટથી પીડાય છે.
The wicked writhe in pain all their lives, through all the years these oppressors survive.
Terrifying sounds fill their ears; even when they think they're safe, the destroyer will attack them.
They don't believe they will escape the darkness—they know a sword is waiting for them.
They wander around looking for food, asking ‘Where is it?’ They know that their day of darkness is close at hand.
24 ૨૪ સંકટ તથા વેદના તેને ભયભીત કરે છે; યુદ્ધને માટે સજ્જ થયેલા રાજાની જેમ તેઓ તેના પર વિજય મેળવે છે.
Misery and torment overwhelm them like a king preparing for battle.
25 ૨૫ કેમ કે તેણે ઈશ્વરની સામે પોતાનો હાથ ઉઠાવ્યો છે અને સર્વશક્તિમાન ઈશ્વરની સામે તે અહંકારથી વર્તે છે.
They shake their fists in God's face, defiantly challenging the Almighty,
insolently attacking him with their shields.
27 ૨૭ આ સાચું છે, જો કે તેણે પોતાનું મુખ તેના શરીરની ચરબીથી ઢાંક્યું છે અને તેની કૂખો પર ચરબીનાં પડ બાઝ્યાં છે.
They have become fat in their rebellion, their bellies bloated with fat.
But their cities will become desolate; they will live in abandoned houses that are crumbling into ruins.
They will lose their riches, their wealth will not endure, their possessions will not spread over the earth.
They will not escape from the darkness. Like a tree whose shoots are burned up in a forest fire, the breath of God will blow him away.
They should not trust in things that are worthless, for their reward will be worthless.
This will be paid in full before their time has come. They are like tree branches that wither,
33 ૩૩ દ્રાક્ષના વેલાની જેમ તે પોતાની કાચી દ્રાક્ષો પાડી નાખશે; અને જૈતૂનના વૃક્ષની જેમ તેનાં ફૂલ ખરી પડશે.
like vines that lose their unripe grapes, or olive trees that lose their flowers.
For those who reject God are barren, and fire will burn up the homes of those who love bribes.
35 ૩૫ દુષ્ટ લોકો નુકસાનનો ગર્ભ ધારણ કરે છે. અને અન્યાયને જન્મ આપે છે; તેઓનું પેટ ઠગાઈને સિદ્ધ કરે છે.”
They plan trouble and produce evil, giving birth to deception.”
