अय्यूब 23
Then 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 [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.
Will he plead against me with [his] great power? No; but he would put [strength] in me.
There the righteous might dispute 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, where he doth work, but I cannot behold [him: ] he hideth himself on the right hand, that 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।
But he knoweth the way that I take: [when] he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
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 esteemed 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] in one [mind], 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 performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and many such [things are] with him.
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath he covered the darkness from my face.
