अय्यूब 15
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
“Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose?
But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him.
For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
6 ६ मैं तो नहीं परन्तु तेरा मुँह ही तुझे दोषी ठहराता है; और तेरे ही वचन तेरे विरुद्ध साक्षी देते हैं।
Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you.
Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?
Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?
What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side— men much older than your father.
11 ११ परमेश्वर की शान्तिदायक बातें, और जो वचन तेरे लिये कोमल हैं, क्या ये तेरी दृष्टि में तुच्छ हैं?
Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you?
Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?
What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,
how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,
what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,
to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.
He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword.
23 २३ वह रोटी के लिये मारा-मारा फिरता है, कि कहाँ मिलेगी? उसे निश्चय रहता है, कि अंधकार का दिन मेरे पास ही है।
He wanders about as food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24 २४ संकट और दुर्घटना से उसको डर लगता रहता है, ऐसे राजा के समान जो युद्ध के लिये तैयार हो, वे उस पर प्रबल होते हैं।
Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
25 २५ क्योंकि उसने तो परमेश्वर के विरुद्ध हाथ बढ़ाया है, और सर्वशक्तिमान के विरुद्ध वह ताल ठोंकता है,
For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.
Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,
28 २८ और वह उजाड़े हुए नगरों में बस गया है, और जो घर रहने योग्य नहीं, और खण्डहर होने को छोड़े गए हैं, उनमें बस गया है।
he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.
29 २९ वह धनी न रहेगा, और न उसकी सम्पत्ति बनी रहेगी, और ऐसे लोगों के खेत की उपज भूमि की ओर न झुकने पाएगी।
He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land.
30 ३० वह अंधियारे से कभी न निकलेगा, और उसकी डालियाँ आग की लपट से झुलस जाएँगी, और परमेश्वर के मुँह की श्वास से वह उड़ जाएगा।
He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.
Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward.
It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish.
He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.
34 ३४ क्योंकि भक्तिहीन के परिवार से कुछ बन न पड़ेगा, और जो घूस लेते हैं, उनके तम्बू आग से जल जाएँगे।
For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
35 ३५ उनको उपद्रव का गर्भ रहता, और वे अनर्थ को जन्म देते है और वे अपने अन्तःकरण में छल की बातें गढ़ते हैं।”
They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb is pregnant with deceit.”
