अय्यूब 34
Moreover Elihu answered, and said,
Hear my words, ye wise men, and give ear to me, ye who have knowledge.
For the ear tries words as the palate tastes food.
Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
For Job has said, I am righteous, and God has taken away my right.
Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water,
saying, I have not sinned, nor committed unrighteousness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity to go with the profane.
For thou should not say, There shall be no visitation to a man, whereas visitation is to him from the Lord.
10 १० “इसलिए हे समझवालों! मेरी सुनो, यह सम्भव नहीं कि परमेश्वर दुष्टता का काम करे, और सर्वशक्तिमान बुराई करे।
Therefore hearken to me, ye men of understanding. Far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and pervert righteousness before the Almighty.
For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
Yea, certainly God will not do wrong. Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who has disposed the whole world?
If he sets his heart upon himself, if he gathers his spirit and his breath to himself,
all flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again to dust.
If now thou be understanding, hear this. Hearken to the voice of words.
Behold thou him who hates lawlessness, and who destroys evil men, who is forever righteousness,
him who says to a king, Thou are vile, to ranking men, Ye are wicked,
19 १९ परमेश्वर तो हाकिमों का पक्ष नहीं करता और धनी और कंगाल दोनों को अपने बनाए हुए जानकर उनमें कुछ भेद नहीं करता।
who does not respect the persons of rulers, nor regards the rich more than the poor. For they all are the work of his hands.
20 २० आधी रात को पल भर में वे मर जाते हैं, और प्रजा के लोग हिलाए जाते और जाते रहते हैं। और प्रतापी लोग बिना हाथ लगाए उठा लिए जाते हैं।
In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand.
21 २१ “क्योंकि परमेश्वर की आँखें मनुष्य की चाल चलन पर लगी रहती हैं, और वह उसकी सारी चाल को देखता रहता है।
For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, and he sees all his goings.
There is no darkness, nor thick gloom where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
For he needs no further to consider a man, that he should go before God in judgment.
24 २४ वह बड़े-बड़े बलवानों को बिना पूछपाछ के चूर-चूर करता है, और उनके स्थान पर दूसरों को खड़ा कर देता है।
He breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, and sets others in their stead.
25 २५ इसलिए कि वह उनके कामों को भली भाँति जानता है, वह उन्हें रात में ऐसा उलट देता है कि वे चूर-चूर हो जाते हैं।
Therefore he takes knowledge of their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others
because they turned aside from following him, and would not have regard in any of his ways,
so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him, and he heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 २९ जब वह चुप रहता है तो उसे कौन दोषी ठहरा सकता है? और जब वह मुँह फेर ले, तब कौन उसका दर्शन पा सकता है? जाति भर के साथ और अकेले मनुष्य, दोनों के साथ उसका बराबर व्यवहार है
When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hides his face, who then can behold him? It is the same whether to a nation, or to a man,
that the profane man not reign, that there be none to ensnare the people.
For has any said to God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more.
32 ३२ जो कुछ मुझे नहीं सूझ पड़ता, वह तू मुझे सिखा दे; और यदि मैंने टेढ़ा काम किया हो, तो भविष्य में वैसा न करूँगा?’
Teach thou me that which I do not see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?
33 ३३ क्या वह तेरे ही मन के अनुसार बदला पाए क्योंकि तू उससे अप्रसन्न है? क्योंकि तुझे निर्णय करना है, न कि मुझे; इस कारण जो कुछ तुझे समझ पड़ता है, वह कह दे।
Shall his recompense be as thou desire, that thou refuse it? For thou must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what thou know.
Men of understanding will say to me, yes, every wise man who hears me,
Job speaks without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom.
36 ३६ भला होता, कि अय्यूब अन्त तक परीक्षा में रहता, क्योंकि उसने अनर्थकारियों के समान उत्तर दिए हैं।
But surely not. Learn thou Job not to still give an answer like the foolish,
37 ३७ और वह अपने पाप में विरोध बढ़ाता है; और हमारे बीच ताली बजाता है, और परमेश्वर के विरुद्ध बहुत सी बातें बनाता है।”
so that we may not add to our sins, and lawlessness will be reckoned against us, speaking many words before the Lord.
