अय्यूब 12
Then answered Job, and said,
Truly ye are indeed the [right kind of] people, and with you wisdom must die out.
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 sense like you; I do not fall short compared with you: and who possesseth not such things as these?
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।
I am as one laughed at by his friend, who calleth upon God, while he answered him: [yea, ] a laughing-stock though righteous and innocent.
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।
To the unfortunate there is given contempt— according to the thoughts of him that is at ease— prepared [also] for those whose foot slippeth.
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;
Prosperous are the tents of robbers, and security is given to those that provoke God. to him who carrieth his god in his hand.
Yet, do only ask of the beasts, and they will instruct thee; and the fowls of the heavens, and they will tell it thee;
Or speak to the earth, and she will instruct thee; and the fishes of the sea will inform thee
Who knoweth not through all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
[He] in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all the bodies of men?
Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food for itself?
So It with the ancients wisdom, and with [those of] length of days understanding,
That with him are wisdom and strength, his are 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।
Behold, he pulleth down, and there can be no rebuilding: he locketh [the prison] upon a man, and there can be no opening,
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।
Behold, he restraineth the waters, and they dry up; or he suffereth them to flow, and they overturn the earth.
With him are strength and counsel: his are the deceived and the deceiver.
He leadeth counsellors away bereft of sense, and maketh the judges fools.
He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth a girdle around their loins.
He leadeth priests away bereft of sense, and the powerful he causeth to walk on crooked paths.
He removeth the speech from trusty speakers, and taketh away the intelligence of the aged.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and the belt of the mighty be looseneth.
He layeth open deep things from the midst of darkness, and bringeth out unto light the shadow of death.
He permitteth the nations to become great, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth out the nations, and leadeth them away.
24 २४ वह पृथ्वी के मुख्य लोगों की बुद्धि उड़ा देता, और उनको निर्जन स्थानों में जहाँ रास्ता नहीं है, भटकाता है।
He taketh away the sense of the chiefs of the people of the land, and causeth them to wander astray in a wilderness when 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 grope in the dark without light, and he causeth them to wander astray like a drunken man.
