अय्यूब 33
“But now, O Job, hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
Behold, I will open my mouth; my address is on the tip of my tongue.
My words are from an upright heart, and my lips speak sincerely what I know.
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Refute me if you can; prepare your case and confront me.
I am just like you before God; I was also formed from clay.
Surely no fear of me should terrify you; nor will my hand be heavy upon you.
Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words:
‘I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, with no iniquity in me.
Yet God finds occasions against me; He counts me as His enemy.
He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches over all my paths.’
12 १२ “देख, मैं तुझे उत्तर देता हूँ, इस बात में तू सच्चा नहीं है। क्योंकि परमेश्वर मनुष्य से बड़ा है।
Behold, you are not right in this matter. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
Why do you complain to Him that He answers nothing a man asks?
For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.
15 १५ स्वप्न में, या रात को दिए हुए दर्शन में, जब मनुष्य घोर निद्रा में पड़े रहते हैं, या बिछौने पर सोते समय,
In a dream, in a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls upon men as they slumber on their beds,
He opens their ears and terrifies them with warnings
to turn a man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,
to preserve his soul from the Pit and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 १९ “उसकी ताड़ना भी होती है, कि वह अपने बिछौने पर पड़ा-पड़ा तड़पता है, और उसकी हड्डी-हड्डी में लगातार झगड़ा होता है
A man is also chastened on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,
so that he detests his bread, and his soul loathes his favorite food.
21 २१ उसका माँस ऐसा सूख जाता है कि दिखाई नहीं देता; और उसकी हड्डियाँ जो पहले दिखाई नहीं देती थीं निकल आती हैं।
His flesh wastes away from sight, and his hidden bones protrude.
He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the messengers of death.
23 २३ यदि उसके लिये कोई बिचवई स्वर्गदूत मिले, जो हजार में से एक ही हो, जो भावी कहे। और जो मनुष्य को बताए कि उसके लिये क्या ठीक है।
Yet if there is a messenger on his side, one mediator in a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,
to be gracious to him and say, ‘Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found his ransom,’
25 २५ तब उस मनुष्य की देह बालक की देह से अधिक स्वस्थ और कोमल हो जाएगी; उसकी जवानी के दिन फिर लौट आएँगे।’
then his flesh is refreshed like a child’s; he returns to the days of his youth.
26 २६ वह परमेश्वर से विनती करेगा, और वह उससे प्रसन्न होगा, वह आनन्द से परमेश्वर का दर्शन करेगा, और परमेश्वर मनुष्य को ज्यों का त्यों धर्मी कर देगा।
He prays to God and finds favor; he sees God’s face and shouts for joy, and God restores His righteousness to that man.
27 २७ वह मनुष्यों के सामने गाने और कहने लगता है, ‘मैंने पाप किया, और सच्चाई को उलट-पुलट कर दिया, परन्तु उसका बदला मुझे दिया नहीं गया।
Then he sings before men with these words: ‘I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.
He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will live to see the light.’
Behold, all these things God does to a man, two or even three times,
to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
But if you have something to say, answer me; speak up, for I would like to vindicate you.
But if not, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.”
