अय्यूब 15
And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,
Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good?
Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God.
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue 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।
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.
Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills?
Hast thou listened in the secret council of God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?
What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou which is not in us?
Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy 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 too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?
What is man, that he should be pure? and he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:
How much less the abominable and corrupt, — man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water!
I will shew thee, listen to me; and what I have seen I will declare;
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hidden;
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent.
The sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon him.
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is singled out 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 wandereth abroad for bread, — where may it be? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his 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 make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for the battle.
25 २५ क्योंकि उसने तो परमेश्वर के विरुद्ध हाथ बढ़ाया है, और सर्वशक्तिमान के विरुद्ध वह ताल ठोंकता है,
For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:
He runneth against him, with [outstretched] neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;
For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon [his] flanks.
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।
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, in houses that no man inhabiteth, which are destined to become heaps.
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 shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth.
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 shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches; and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Let him not trust in vanity: he is deceived, for vanity shall be his recompense;
It shall be complete before his day, and his branch shall not be green.
He shall shake off his unripe grapes as a vine, and shall cast his flower as an olive.
34 ३४ क्योंकि भक्तिहीन के परिवार से कुछ बन न पड़ेगा, और जो घूस लेते हैं, उनके तम्बू आग से जल जाएँगे।
For the family of the ungodly shall be barren, and fire shall 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 mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
