अय्यूब 10
1 १ “मेरा प्राण जीवित रहने से उकताता है; मैं स्वतंत्रता पूर्वक कुड़कुड़ाऊँगा; और मैं अपने मन की कड़वाहट के मारे बातें करूँगा।
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why thou contendest with me.
3 ३ क्या तुझे अंधेर करना, और दुष्टों की युक्ति को सफल करके अपने हाथों के बनाए हुए को निकम्मा जानना भला लगता है?
Is it good to thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man’s days,
That thou enquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thy hand.
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me in all my parts; yet thou dost destroy me.
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy care hath preserved my spirit.
And these things hast thou hid in thy heart: I know that this is with thee.
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 १५ यदि मैं दुष्टता करूँ तो मुझ पर हाय! और यदि मैं धर्मी बनूँ तो भी मैं सिर न उठाऊँगा, क्योंकि मैं अपमान से भरा हुआ हूँ और अपने दुःख पर ध्यान रखता हूँ।
If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou my affliction;
16 १६ और चाहे सिर उठाऊँ तो भी तू सिंह के समान मेरा अहेर करता है, और फिर मेरे विरुद्ध आश्चर्यकर्मों को करता है।
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
17 १७ तू मेरे सामने अपने नये-नये साक्षी ले आता है, और मुझ पर अपना क्रोध बढ़ाता है; और मुझ पर सेना पर सेना चढ़ाई करती है।
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thy indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
Why then hast thou brought me forth from the womb? O that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 २० क्या मेरे दिन थोड़े नहीं? मुझे छोड़ दे, और मेरी ओर से मुँह फेर ले, कि मेरा मन थोड़ा शान्त हो जाए
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 २१ इससे पहले कि मैं वहाँ जाऊँ, जहाँ से फिर न लौटूँगा, अर्थात् घोर अंधकार के देश में, और मृत्यु की छाया में;
Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
