અયૂબ 15
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language 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.
Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
“Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?
8 ૮ શું તેં ઈશ્વરના ગૂઢ ડહાપણ વિષે સાંભળ્યું છે ખરું? શું તેં બધી બુદ્ધિ તારા પોતાનામાં સમાવી રાખી છે?
Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?
With us are both the grey-headed and the very aged men, much older than your father.
Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle towards you?
Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
“I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare
(which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed amongst them):
20 ૨૦ દુર્જન તેના આખા જીવન પર્યંત પીડા ભોગવે છે, તે પોતાનાં નિયત કરેલાં વર્ષો દરમ્યાન કષ્ટથી પીડાય છે.
the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.
He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows 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 to the battle.
25 ૨૫ કેમ કે તેણે ઈશ્વરની સામે પોતાનો હાથ ઉઠાવ્યો છે અને સર્વશક્તિમાન ઈશ્વરની સામે તે અહંકારથી વર્તે છે.
Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields 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 has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
He will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.
It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.
33 ૩૩ દ્રાક્ષના વેલાની જેમ તે પોતાની કાચી દ્રાક્ષો પાડી નાખશે; અને જૈતૂનના વૃક્ષની જેમ તેનાં ફૂલ ખરી પડશે.
He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will 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 produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
