अय्यूब 15
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
For your iniquity teaches 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 condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
“Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?
Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?
With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged 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 too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
“I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare
(which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):
the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.
He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by 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 abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows 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 to the battle.
25 २५ क्योंकि उसने तो परमेश्वर के विरुद्ध हाथ बढ़ाया है, और सर्वशक्तिमान के विरुद्ध वह ताल ठोंकता है,
Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,
because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
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 has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were 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 will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on 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 will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.
It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.
He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
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 mischief and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
