अय्यूब 31
"I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?
For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from Shaddai on high?
Is it not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for evildoers?
Doesn't he see my ways, and number all my steps?
"If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit
(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
7 ७ यदि मेरे पग मार्ग से बहक गए हों, और मेरा मन मेरी आँखों की देखी चाल चला हो, या मेरे हाथों में कुछ कलंक लगा हो;
if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,
then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
"If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door,
then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.
For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
"If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me;
What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him?
15 १५ क्या वह उसका बनानेवाला नहीं जिसने मुझे गर्भ में बनाया? क्या एक ही ने हम दोनों की सूरत गर्भ में न रची थी?
Did not he who made me in the womb make him? Did not the same one fashion us in the womb?
"If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 १८ (परन्तु वह मेरे लड़कपन ही से मेरे साथ इस प्रकार पला जिस प्रकार पिता के साथ, और मैं जन्म ही से विधवा को पालता आया हूँ);
(no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, her have I guided from my mother's womb);
if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
if his heart hasn't blessed me, if he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece;
if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,
then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
23 २३ क्योंकि परमेश्वर के प्रताप के कारण मैं ऐसा नहीं कर सकता था, क्योंकि उसकी ओर की विपत्ति के कारण मैं भयभीत होकर थरथराता था।
For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because his majesty, I can do nothing.
"If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, 'You are my confidence;'
If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,
and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,
28 २८ तो यह भी न्यायियों से दण्ड पाने के योग्य अधर्म का काम होता; क्योंकि ऐसा करके मैंने सर्वश्रेष्ठ परमेश्वर का इन्कार किया होता।
this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have denied the God who is above.
"If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him;
30 ३० (परन्तु मैंने न तो उसको श्राप देते हुए, और न उसके प्राणदण्ड की प्रार्थना करते हुए अपने मुँह से पाप किया है);
(yes, I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);
31 ३१ यदि मेरे डेरे के रहनेवालों ने यह न कहा होता, ‘ऐसा कोई कहाँ मिलेगा, जो इसके यहाँ का माँस खाकर तृप्त न हुआ हो?’
if the men of my tent have not said, 'Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?'
(the foreigner has not lodged in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34 ३४ इस कारण कि मैं बड़ी भीड़ से भय खाता था, या कुलीनों से तुच्छ किए जाने से डर गया यहाँ तक कि मैं द्वार से बाहर न निकला-
because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and did not go out of the door—
35 ३५ भला होता कि मेरा कोई सुननेवाला होता! सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वर अभी मेरा न्याय चुकाए! देखो, मेरा दस्तखत यही है। भला होता कि जो शिकायतनामा मेरे मुद्दई ने लिखा है वह मेरे पास होता!
oh that I had one to hear me. (look, here is my signature, let Shaddai answer me); let the accuser write my indictment.
Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; and I would bind it to me as a crown.
I would declare to him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near to him.
If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;
if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,
let briars grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
