अय्यूब 23
Then Job answered and said:
Even to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy because of my groaning.
Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat!
I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say unto me.
Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He would give heed unto me.
There the upright might reason with Him; so should I be delivered for ever from my Judge.
Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot 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, when He doth work, but I cannot behold Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot see Him.
10 १० परन्तु वह जानता है, कि मैं कैसी चाल चला हूँ; और जब वह मुझे ता लेगा तब मैं सोने के समान निकलूँगा।
For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot hath held fast to His steps, His way have I kept, and turned not 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।
I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured up the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
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 at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth.
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 that which is appointed for me; and many such things are with Him.
Therefore am I affrighted at His presence; when I consider, I am afraid of Him.
Yea, God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath affrighted me;
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did He cover the thick darkness from my face.
