अय्यूब 12
And Job answers and says:
“Truly—you [are] the people, and wisdom dies 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 like you, I am not fallen more than you, And with whom is there not like 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 a laughter to his friend: He calls to God, and He answers him, A laughter [is] the perfect righteous one.
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।
A torch—despised in the thoughts of the secure Is prepared for those sliding with the feet.
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 tents of spoilers are at peace, And those provoking God have confidence, Into whose hand God has brought.
And yet, now ask [one of] the beasts, And it shows you, And a bird of the heavens, And it declares to you.
Or talk to the earth, and it shows you, And fishes of the sea recount to you:
Who has not known in all these, That the hand of YHWH has done this?
In whose hand [is] the breath of every living thing, And the spirit of all flesh of man.
Does the ear not try words? And the palate taste food for itself?
With the very aged [is] wisdom, And [with] length of days [is] understanding.
With Him [are] wisdom and might, To Him [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 breaks down, and it is not built up, He shuts against a man, And it is not opened.
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 keeps in the waters, and they are dried up, And He sends them forth, And they overturn the land.
With Him [are] strength and wisdom, His the deceived and deceiver.
Causing counselors to go away [as] a spoil, Indeed, He makes fools of judges.
He has opened the bands of kings, And He binds a girdle on their loins.
Causing ministers to go away [as] a spoil And strong ones He overthrows.
Turning aside the lip of the steadfast, And the reason of the aged He takes away.
Pouring contempt on princes, And the girdle of the mighty He made feeble.
Removing deep things out of darkness, And He brings out to light death-shade.
Magnifying the nations, and He destroys them, Spreading out the nations, and He quiets them.
24 २४ वह पृथ्वी के मुख्य लोगों की बुद्धि उड़ा देता, और उनको निर्जन स्थानों में जहाँ रास्ता नहीं है, भटकाता है।
Turning aside the heart Of the heads of the people of the land, And He causes them to wander In vacancy—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 feel darkness, and not light, He causes them to wander as a drunkard.”
