अय्यूब 15
And Eliphaz the Temanite answers and says:
“Does a wise man answer [with] vain knowledge? And fill his belly [with] an east wind?
To reason with a word not useful? And speeches—no profit in them?
Indeed, you make reverence void, and diminish meditation before God.
For your mouth teaches your iniquity, And you choose the tongue of the cunning.
6 ६ मैं तो नहीं परन्तु तेरा मुँह ही तुझे दोषी ठहराता है; और तेरे ही वचन तेरे विरुद्ध साक्षी देते हैं।
Your mouth declares you wicked, and not I, And your lips testify against you.
Are you the first man born? And were you formed before the heights?
Do you hear of the secret counsel of God? And withdraw wisdom to you?
What have you known, and we do not know? [What] do you understand, and it is not with us?
Both the gray-headed And the very aged [are] among us—Greater than your father [in] days.
11 ११ परमेश्वर की शान्तिदायक बातें, और जो वचन तेरे लिये कोमल हैं, क्या ये तेरी दृष्टि में तुच्छ हैं?
Are the comforts of God too few for you? And a gentle word [is] with you,
Why does your heart take you away? And why are your eyes high?
Do you turn your spirit against God? And have brought out words from your mouth:
What [is] man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?
Behold, He puts no credence in His holy ones, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes.
Also—surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking perverseness as water.
I show you—listen to me—And this I have seen and declare,
Which the wise declare—And have not hid—from their fathers.
To them alone was the land given, And a stranger did not pass over into their midst:
All [the] days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one.
A fearful voice [is] in his ears, In peace a destroyer comes to him.
He does not believe to return from darkness, And he watches 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 is wandering for bread: Where [is] it? He has known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.
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।
Adversity and distress terrify him, They prevail over him as a king ready for a boaster.
25 २५ क्योंकि उसने तो परमेश्वर के विरुद्ध हाथ बढ़ाया है, और सर्वशक्तिमान के विरुद्ध वह ताल ठोंकता है,
For he stretched out his hand against God, And against the Mighty he makes himself mighty.
He runs to Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.
For he has covered his face with his fat, And makes vigor over [his] confidence.
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 inhabits cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready 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 is not rich, nor does his wealth rise, Nor does he stretch out their continuance on 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 does not turn aside from darkness, A flame dries up his tender branch, And he turns aside at the breath of His mouth!
Do not let him put credence in vanity, He has been deceived, For vanity is his exchange.
It is not completed in his day, And his bending branch is not green.
He shakes off his unripe fruit as a vine, And casts off his blossom 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 company of the profane [is] barren, And fire has consumed 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।”
To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart prepares deceit.”
