अय्यूब 24
1 १ “सर्वशक्तिमान ने दुष्टों के न्याय के लिए समय क्यों नहीं ठहराया, और जो लोग उसका ज्ञान रखते हैं वे उसके दिन क्यों देखने नहीं पाते?
Times are not hid from the Almighty: but they that know him, know not his days.
Some have removed landmarks, have taken away flocks by force, and fed them.
They have driven away the ass of the fatherless, and have taken away the widow’s ox for a pledge.
They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.
5 ५ देखो, दीन लोग जंगली गदहों के समान अपने काम को और कुछ भोजन यत्न से ढूँढ़ने को निकल जाते हैं; उनके बच्चों का भोजन उनको जंगल से मिलता है।
Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread for their children.
They reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed.
They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold:
Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones.
They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people.
From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn.
11 ११ वे दुष्टों की दीवारों के भीतर तेल पेरते और उनके कुण्डों में दाख रौंदते हुए भी प्यासे रहते हैं।
They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst.
12 १२ वे बड़े नगर में कराहते हैं, और घायल किए हुओं का जी दुहाई देता है; परन्तु परमेश्वर मूर्खता का हिसाब नहीं लेता।
Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged.
13 १३ “फिर कुछ लोग उजियाले से बैर रखते, वे उसके मार्गों को नहीं पहचानते, और न उसके मार्गों में बने रहते हैं।
They have been rebellious to the light, they have not known his ways, neither have they returned by his paths.
The murderer riseth at the very break of day, he killeth the needy, and the poor man: but in the night he will be as a thief.
15 १५ व्यभिचारी यह सोचकर कि कोई मुझ को देखने न पाए, दिन डूबने की राह देखता रहता है, और वह अपना मुँह छिपाए भी रखता है।
The eye of the adulterer observeth darkness, saying: No eye shall see me: and he will cover his face.
He diggeth through houses in the dark, as in the day they had appointed for themselves, and they have not known the light.
If the morning suddenly appear, it is to them the shadow of death: and they walk in darkness as if it were in light.
18 १८ “वे जल के ऊपर हलकी सी वस्तु के सरीखे हैं, उनके भाग को पृथ्वी के रहनेवाले कोसते हैं, और वे अपनी दाख की बारियों में लौटने नहीं पाते।
He is light upon the face of the water: cursed be his portion on the earth, let him not walk by the way of the vineyards.
19 १९ जैसे सूखे और धूप से हिम का जल सूख जाता है वैसे ही पापी लोग अधोलोक में सूख जाते हैं। (Sheol h7585)
Let him pass from the snow waters to excessive heat, and his sin even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
20 २० माता भी उसको भूल जाती, और कीड़े उसे चूसते हैं, भविष्य में उसका स्मरण न रहेगा; इस रीति टेढ़ा काम करनेवाला वृक्ष के समान कट जाता है।
Let mercy forget him: may worms be his sweetness: let him be remembered no more, but be broken in pieces as an unfruitful tree.
For he hath fed the barren that beareth not, and to the widow he hath done no good.
22 २२ बलात्कारियों को भी परमेश्वर अपनी शक्ति से खींच लेता है, जो जीवित रहने की आशा नहीं रखता, वह भी फिर उठ बैठता है।
He hath pulled down the strong by his might: and when he standeth up, he shall not trust to his life.
23 २३ उन्हें ऐसे बेखटके कर देता है, कि वे सम्भले रहते हैं; और उसकी कृपादृष्टि उनकी चाल पर लगी रहती है।
God hath given him place for penance, and he abuseth it unto pride: but his eyes are upon his ways.
24 २४ वे बढ़ते हैं, तब थोड़ी देर में जाते रहते हैं, वे दबाए जाते और सभी के समान रख लिये जाते हैं, और अनाज की बाल के समान काटे जाते हैं।
They are lifted up for a little while and shall not stand, and shall be brought down as all things, and shall be taken away, and as the tops of the ears of corn they shall be broken.
And if it be not so, who can convince me that I have lied, and set my words before God?
