अय्यूब 23
And Job answered and said,
Even to-day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come to his seat!
I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;
I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Would he plead against me with [his] great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.
Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;
9 ९ जब वह बाईं ओर काम करता है तब वह मुझे दिखाई नहीं देता; वह तो दाहिनी ओर ऐसा छिप जाता है, कि मुझे वह दिखाई ही नहीं पड़ता।
On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold [him] not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see [him] not.
10 १० परन्तु वह जानता है, कि मैं कैसी चाल चला हूँ; और जब वह मुझे ता लेगा तब मैं सोने के समान निकलूँगा।
But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, and not turned aside.
12 १२ उसकी आज्ञा का पालन करने से मैं न हटा, और मैंने उसके वचन अपनी इच्छा से कहीं अधिक काम के जानकर सुरक्षित रखे।
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart.
13 १३ परन्तु वह एक ही बात पर अड़ा रहता है, और कौन उसको उससे फिरा सकता है? जो कुछ उसका जी चाहता है वही वह करता है।
But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.
14 १४ जो कुछ मेरे लिये उसने ठाना है, उसी को वह पूरा करता है; और उसके मन में ऐसी-ऐसी बहुत सी बातें हैं।
For he will perform [what] is appointed for me; and many such things are with him.
Therefore am I troubled at his presence; I consider, and I am afraid of him.
For God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me;
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he hidden the gloom from me.
