અયૂબ 33
"However, Job, Please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of Shaddai gives me life.
If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand forth.
Look, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
Look, my terror shall not make you afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy on you.
"Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
'I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
Look, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.'
"Look, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
Why do you strive against him, because he doesn't give account of any of his matters?
For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 ૧૫ જ્યારે માણસો ગાઢ નિદ્રામાં હોય કે, પથારી પર ઊંઘતા હોય, સ્વપ્નમાં અથવા રાતના સંદર્શનમાં હોય ત્યારે,
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed;
Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones;
So that his life abhors bread, and his soul choicest food.
21 ૨૧ તેનું શરીર સુકાઈ જાય છે અને અદ્રશ્ય થઈ જાય છે; તેનાં હાડકાં દેખાતાં ન હતાં તે હવે દેખાઈ આવે છે.
His flesh is so consumed away, that it can't be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 ૨૩ માણસને શું કરવું સારું છે તે બતાવવાને, હજારો સ્વર્ગદૂતોમાંથી એક દૂત, મધ્યસ્થી તરીકે તેની સાથે હોય,
"If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him;
24 ૨૪ અને તે દૂત તેના પર દયાળુ થઈને ઈશ્વરને કહે છે કે, ‘આ માણસને કબરમાં જતાં અટકાવો; કારણ કે, તેના બચાવ કરવાની રકમ મને મળી છે,’
then he is gracious to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'
25 ૨૫ ત્યારબાદ તેનું શરીર નાના બાળક કરતાં શુદ્ધ થઈ જશે; અને તે પાછો તેની યુવાનીના દિવસો પ્રાપ્ત કરશે.
His flesh shall be fresher than a child's. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 ૨૬ તે ઈશ્વરને પ્રાર્થના કરશે અને ઈશ્વર તેને કૃપા આપે છે, અને તે ઈશ્વરનું મુખ જોઈને આનંદ કરે છે. અને ઈશ્વર તે માણસને તેની પ્રામાણિક્તા પાછી આપે છે.
He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27 ૨૭ ત્યારે તે માણસ અન્ય લોકોની સમક્ષ સ્તુતિ કરશે અને કહેશે કે, મેં પાપ કર્યું હતું અને જે સત્ય હતું તેને વિપરીત કર્યું હતું, પણ મારા પાપ પ્રમાણે મને સજા કરવામાં આવી નહિ.
He sings before men, and says, 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me.
He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life shall see the light.'
"Look, God works all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 ૩૨ પણ જો તારે કંઈ કહેવું હોય, તો મને જવાબ આપ; બોલ, કારણ કે, હું તને નિર્દોષ જાહેર કરવા માગું છું.
If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom."
