अय्यूब 33
Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.
Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
My words [shall utter] the uprightness of my heart: and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.
If thou canst, answer thou me; set [thy words] in order before me, stand forth.
Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words, [saying],
I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy;
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh 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, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; for God is greater than man.
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
For God speaketh once, yea twice, [though man] regardeth it not.
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 of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and hide pride from man;
He keepeth back 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
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones:
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
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 is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
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।
If there be with him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man what is right for him;
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a 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।’
His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; he returneth 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 prayeth unto God, and he is favourable unto him; so that he seeth his face with joy: and he restoreth unto man his righteousness.
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।
He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not:
He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light.
Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, [yea] thrice, with a man,
To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
If not, hearken thou unto me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
