अय्यूब 12
When Job answered, and said:
Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?
3 ३ परन्तु तुम्हारे समान मुझ में भी समझ है, मैं तुम लोगों से कुछ नीचा नहीं हूँ कौन ऐसा है जो ऐसी बातें न जानता हो?
I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?
4 ४ मैं परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना करता था, और वह मेरी सुन लिया करता था; परन्तु अब मेरे मित्र मुझ पर हँसते हैं; जो धर्मी और खरा मनुष्य है, वह हँसी का कारण हो गया है।
He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.
5 ५ दुःखी लोग तो सुखी लोगों की समझ में तुच्छ जाने जाते हैं; और जिनके पाँव फिसलते हैं उनका अपमान अवश्य ही होता है।
The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.
6 ६ डाकुओं के डेरे कुशल क्षेम से रहते हैं, और जो परमेश्वर को क्रोध दिलाते हैं, वह बहुत ही निडर रहते हैं; अर्थात् उनका ईश्वर उनकी मुट्ठी में रहता हैं;
The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands:
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.
Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell.
Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?
In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence.
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
14 १४ देखो, जिसको वह ढा दे, वह फिर बनाया नहीं जाता; जिस मनुष्य को वह बन्द करे, वह फिर खोला नहीं जाता।
If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a. man, there is none that can open.
15 १५ देखो, जब वह वर्षा को रोक रखता है तो जल सूख जाता है; फिर जब वह जल छोड़ देता है तब पृथ्वी उलट जाती है।
If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth.
With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver, and him that is deceived.
He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.
He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their loins with a cord.
He leadeth away priests without glory, and overthroweth nobles.
He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and relieveth them that were oppressed.
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth up to light the shadow of death.
He multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and restoreth them again after they were overthrown.
24 २४ वह पृथ्वी के मुख्य लोगों की बुद्धि उड़ा देता, और उनको निर्जन स्थानों में जहाँ रास्ता नहीं है, भटकाता है।
He changeth the heart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiveth them that they walk in vain where there is no way.
25 २५ वे बिन उजियाले के अंधेरे में टटोलते फिरते हैं; और वह उन्हें ऐसा बना देता है कि वे मतवाले के समान डगमगाते हुए चलते हैं।
They shall grope as in the dark, and not in the light, and he shall make them stagger like men that are drunk.
