અયૂબ 15
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?
Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest 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.
Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee.
[Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made 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 heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou, which [is] not in us?
With us [are] both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father.
[Are] the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth?
What [is] man, that he should be clean? and [he who is] born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
How much more abominable and filthy [is] man, who drinketh iniquity like water?
I will show thee, hear me; and that [which] I have seen, I will declare;
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid [it]:
To 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.
The wicked man travaileth with pain all [his] days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
A dreadful sound [is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for by the sword.
He wandereth abroad for bread, [saying], Where [is it]? 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.
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25 ૨૫ કેમ કે તેણે ઈશ્વરની સામે પોતાનો હાથ ઉઠાવ્યો છે અને સર્વશક્તિમાન ઈશ્વરની સામે તે અહંકારથી વર્તે છે.
For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
He runneth upon him, [even] on [his] neck, upon 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.
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on [his] flanks.
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, [and] in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection of it 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 not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
It shall be accomplished before his time, 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 grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles 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 vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
