अय्यूब 33
So now, Job, I beg you, hear my speech; listen to all my words.
See now, I have opened my mouth; my tongue has spoken in my mouth.
My words come from the uprightness of my heart; my lips speak pure knowledge.
The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty has given me life.
If you can, answer me; set your words in order before me and stand up.
See, I am just as you are in God's sight; I also have been formed out of the clay.
See, terror of me will not make you afraid; neither will my pressure be heavy upon you.
You have certainly spoken in my hearing; I have heard the sound of your words saying,
'I am clean and without transgression; I am innocent, and there is no sin in me.
See, God finds opportunities to attack me; he regards me as his enemy.
He puts my feet in stocks; he watches all my paths.'
12 १२ “देख, मैं तुझे उत्तर देता हूँ, इस बात में तू सच्चा नहीं है। क्योंकि परमेश्वर मनुष्य से बड़ा है।
See, in this you are not right—I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
Why do you struggle against him? He does not account for any of his doings.
For God speaks once— yes, twice, though man does not notice it.
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 falls upon men, in slumber on the bed—
then God opens the ears of men, and frightens them with threats,
in order to pull man back from his sinful purposes, and keep pride from him.
God keeps man's life back from the pit, his life from crossing over to death.
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
Man is punished also with pain on his bed, with constant agony in his bones,
so that his life abhors food, and his soul abhors delicacies.
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 so that it cannot be seen; his bones, once not seen, now stick out.
Indeed, his soul draws close to the pit, his life to those who wish to destroy it.
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।
But if there is an angel who can be a mediator for him, a mediator, one from among the thousands of angels, to show him what is right to do,
and if the angel is kind to him and says to God, 'Save this person from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him,'
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 will become fresher than a child's; he will return to the days of his youthful strength.
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 will pray to God, and God will be kind to him, so that he sees God's face with joy. God will give the person his triumph.
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 that person will sing in front of other people and say, 'I sinned and perverted that which was right, but my sin was not punished.
God has rescued my soul from going down into the pit; my life will continue to see light.'
See, God does all these things with a person, twice, yes, even three times,
to bring his soul back from the pit, so that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent and I will speak.
If you have anything to say, answer me; speak, for I wish to prove that you are in the right.
If not, then listen to me; remain silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
