अय्यूब 23
And Job answers and says:
“Also—today my complaint [is] bitter, My hand has been heavy because of my sighing.
O that I had known—and I find Him, I come to His seat,
I arrange the cause before Him, And fill my mouth [with] arguments.
I know the words He answers me, And understand what He says to me.
Does He strive with me in the abundance of power? No! Surely He puts [it] in me.
There the upright reason with Him, And I escape from mine who is judging—forever.
Behold, I go forward—and He is not, And backward—and 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।
[To] the left in His working—and I do not see, He is covered [on] the right, and I do not behold.
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 has known the way with me, He has tried me—I go forth as gold.
My foot has laid hold on His step, I have kept His way, and do not turn 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।
The command of His lips, and I do not depart. I have laid up above my allotted portion The sayings of His mouth.
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।
And He [is] in one [mind], And who turns Him back? And His soul has desired—and He does [it].
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 completes my portion, And many such things [are] with Him.
Therefore, I am troubled at His presence, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
And God has made my heart soft, And the Mighty has troubled me.
For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.”
