अय्यूब 34
And Elihu proceeded, and said:
Hear my words, ye wise men! Give ear to me, ye that have knowledge!
For the ear trieth words, As the mouth tasteth meat.
Let us examine for ourselves what is right; Let us know among ourselves what is true.
Job hath said, “I am righteous, And God refuseth me justice.
Though I am innocent, I am made a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am free from transgression.”
Where is the man like Job, Who drinketh impiety like water;
Who goeth in company with evil-doers, And walketh with wicked men?
For he hath said, “A man hath no advantage, When he delighteth himself in God.”
10 १० “इसलिए हे समझवालों! मेरी सुनो, यह सम्भव नहीं कि परमेश्वर दुष्टता का काम करे, और सर्वशक्तिमान बुराई करे।
Wherefore hearken to me, ye men of understanding! Far be iniquity from God; Yea, far be injustice from the Almighty!
For what a man hath done he will requite him, And render to every one according to his deeds.
Surely God will not do iniquity, Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.
Who hath given him the charge of the earth? Or who hath created the whole world?
Should he set his heart against man, Should he take back his spirit and his breath,
Then would all flesh expire together; Yea, man would return to the dust.
If thou hast understanding, hear this! Give ear to the voice of my words!
Shall he, that hateth justice, govern? Wilt thou then condemn the just and mighty One?
Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked; Or to princes, Ye are unrighteous?
19 १९ परमेश्वर तो हाकिमों का पक्ष नहीं करता और धनी और कंगाल दोनों को अपने बनाए हुए जानकर उनमें कुछ भेद नहीं करता।
How much less to him that is not partial to princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they are all 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; yea, at midnight Do the people stagger and pass away, And the mighty are destroyed 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 man; He seeth all his steps.
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, Where evil-doers may hide themselves.
He needeth not attend long to a man, That he may go into judgment before God;
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 dasheth in pieces the mighty without inquiry, And setteth up 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 knoweth their works, And in a night he overthroweth them, so that they are destroyed.
On account of their wickedness he smiteth them, In the presence of many beholders;
Because they turned away from him, And had no regard to his ways,
And caused the cry of the poor to come before him; For he heareth the cry of the oppressed.
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 giveth rest, who can cause trouble? And when he hideth his face, Who can behold him?
So is it with nations and individuals alike! That the wicked may no more rule, And may not be snares to the people.
Surely thou shouldst say unto God, “I have received chastisement; I will no more offend;
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?’
What I see not, teach thou me! 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 he recompense according to thy mind, Because thou refusest, or because thou choosest, and not he? Speak, if thou hast knowledge!
Men of understanding, Wise men, who hear me, will say,
“Job hath spoken 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।
I desire that Job may be tried to the last, For answering like wicked men.
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।”
For he addeth impiety to his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth words against God.
