अय्यूब 34
Then Elihu continued:
“You [three] men who [think that you] [SAR] are very wise, hear me; listen to what I am saying, you men who [say that you] know so much.
When we [SYN] hear what other people [like you] say, we [RHQ] think carefully about what they say [to determine what is good and what is bad], like we [SYN] taste food [to determine what is good].
We need to decide [who is saying] what is right and to determine among ourselves what is good/best.
Job has said, ‘I am innocent, but God has refused to judge me fairly/justly.
Even though I have always done what is right, he is lying about me. Even though I have not done what is wrong, he has caused me to suffer, and I will certainly die.’
(Is there any person like Job, who insults others as easily as people accept a drink of water?/There is no person like Job, who insults others as easily as people accept a drink of water.) [RHQ]
He habitually associates with people who do what is evil and spends time with wicked people.
He has said, ‘It is useless for people to try to please God.’
10 १० “इसलिए हे समझवालों! मेरी सुनो, यह सम्भव नहीं कि परमेश्वर दुष्टता का काम करे, और सर्वशक्तिमान बुराई करे।
“So, you men who [claim that you] understand everything, listen to me! Almighty God would never consider doing anything that is wicked or wrong [DOU]!
He (pays back/punishes) people for what they have done; he gives them what they deserve for the way that they have conducted their lives.
Truly, Almighty God never does what is wicked; he always [LIT] does what is fair/just.
The authority that he has to rule everything on the earth, no one [RHQ] gave it to him; no one [RHQ] put him in control of the whole world. [He has always had that authority].
If he would take his spirit back to himself,
everyone would die [immediately], and their corpses would soon become dirt again.
“So, [Job], if [you say that you] understand everything, listen to what I am saying.
God could certainly not [RHQ] govern the world if he hated doing what is fair/just. So, will you condemn God, who is righteous and powerful, [saying that what he has done is wrong]?
He tells [some] kings that they are worthless, and he says to [some] officials that they 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।
He does not favor rulers [more than he favors others]; he does not favor rich people more than poor people, because he created all of them.
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।
People [often] die suddenly; he strikes them at midnight and they die; he even gets rid of mighty people without the help of any humans [SYN].
21 २१ “क्योंकि परमेश्वर की आँखें मनुष्य की चाल चलन पर लगी रहती हैं, और वह उसकी सारी चाल को देखता रहता है।
“He sees [MTY] everything that people do; [when we walk, ] he watches every step that we take.
There is no gloom or darkness [DOU] that is so dark that sinners can hide [from him] in that darkness.
God does not [need to] set a time when we will stand in front of him in order that he may judge us. [He can judge us whenever he wants to].
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 destroys mighty people without [needing to] investigate [what they have done], and he appoints others to take their places.
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।
Because he [already] knows what they have done, he removes them at night and gets rid of them.
Where [many] people can see it, he strikes/punishes them because of the wicked things that they have done;
he strikes them because they turned away from doing what he wanted them to do and did not pay attention to any of his commands.
They [mistreated] the poor people, with the result that those poor people cried out to God [for help], and he heard those afflicted people when they cried out [to him].
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
But if God decides to do nothing [to punish wicked people], no one can criticize/condemn him. If a godless/wicked man rules a nation, a man who tricks/deceives the people,
and if [God] hides his face [with the result that he does not see that ruler or punish him], no one will be able to prevent that ruler [from doing those things].
“Job, have you or anyone else ever said to God, ‘I have been punished [for my sins], and I will not sin 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?’
so teach/show me what [sins I have committed]; if I have done anything that is evil, I will not do it any 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।
[Job, ] you object to what God has done to you, but do you think that he will do what you want him to do? It is you who must choose [what you say to God], not I; so tell me what you are thinking about this.
“People who have good sense, those who are wise and who listen to what I say, will say to me,
‘Job is speaking ignorantly; what he says is nonsense.’
36 ३६ भला होता, कि अय्यूब अन्त तक परीक्षा में रहता, क्योंकि उसने अनर्थकारियों के समान उत्तर दिए हैं।
I think that Job should be taken to a court and (put on trial/judged), because he answers [us his friends] like wicked men would answer.
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।”
To add to the [other] sins that he has committed, he is rebelling [against God]; he shows us that he does not respect God [IDM], making long speeches [saying that God has punished him unjustly].”
