अय्यूब 29
Moreover, Job continued his parable, and said,
Oh that I were as [in] months past, as [in] the days [when] God preserved me;
When his candle shined upon my head, [and when] by his light I walked [through] darkness;
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle;
When the Almighty [was] yet with me, [when] my children [were] about me;
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared my seat in the street!
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, [and] stood up.
The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their mouth.
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 ११ क्योंकि जब कोई मेरा समाचार सुनता, तब वह मुझे धन्य कहता था, और जब कोई मुझे देखता, तब मेरे विषय साक्षी देता था;
When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me:
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 १४ मैं धार्मिकता को पहने रहा, और वह मुझे ढांके रहा; मेरा न्याय का काम मेरे लिये बागे और सुन्दर पगड़ी का काम देता था।
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment [was] as a robe and a diadem.
I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame.
16 १६ दरिद्र लोगों का मैं पिता ठहरता था, और जो मेरी पहचान का न था उसके मुकद्दमे का हाल मैं पूछताछ करके जान लेता था।
I [was] a father to the poor: and the cause [which] I knew not I searched out.
And I broke the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18 १८ तब मैं सोचता था, ‘मेरे दिन रेतकणों के समान अनगिनत होंगे, और अपने ही बसेरे में मेरा प्राण छूटेगा।
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply [my] days as the sand.
My root [was] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
My glory [was] fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
To me [men] gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23 २३ जैसे लोग बरसात की, वैसे ही मेरी भी बाट देखते थे; और जैसे बरसात के अन्त की वर्षा के लिये वैसे ही वे मुँह पसारे रहते थे।
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain.
24 २४ जब उनको कुछ आशा न रहती थी तब मैं हँसकर उनको प्रसन्न करता था; और कोई मेरे मुँह को बिगाड़ न सकता था।
[If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25 २५ मैं उनका मार्ग चुन लेता, और उनमें मुख्य ठहरकर बैठा करता था, और जैसा सेना में राजा या विलाप करनेवालों के बीच शान्तिदाता, वैसा ही मैं रहता था।
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one [that] comforteth the mourners.
