अय्यूब 34
Moreover, Elihu continued to speak:
“Listen to my words, you wise men; hear me, you who have knowledge.
For the ear tries words as the palate tastes food.
Let us choose for ourselves what is just: let us discover among ourselves what is good.
For Job has said, 'I am righteous, but God has taken away my rights.
Regardless of my rights, I am considered to be a liar. My wound is incurable, although I am without sin.'
What man is like Job, who drinks up mockery like water,
who goes around in the company of those who do evil, and who walks with wicked men?
For he has said, 'It is no use to a person to take pleasure in doing what God wants.'
10 १० “इसलिए हे समझवालों! मेरी सुनो, यह सम्भव नहीं कि परमेश्वर दुष्टता का काम करे, और सर्वशक्तिमान बुराई करे।
So listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness; far be it from the Almighty that he should commit sin.
For he pays back a person's work; he makes every man come upon the reward of his own ways.
Indeed, God does nothing wicked, nor does the Almighty ever pervert justice.
Who put him in charge over the earth? Who put the whole world under him?
If he ever set his intentions only on himself, and if he ever gathered back to himself his spirit and his breath,
then all flesh would perish together; mankind would return to dust again.
If now you have understanding, listen to this; listen to the sound of my words.
Can one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn God, who is righteous and mighty?
God, who says to a king, 'You are vile,' or says to nobles, 'You 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।
God, who does not show favoritism to leaders and does not acknowledge rich people more than 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 will die; at midnight people will be shaken and will pass away; mighty people will be taken away, but not by human hands.
21 २१ “क्योंकि परमेश्वर की आँखें मनुष्य की चाल चलन पर लगी रहती हैं, और वह उसकी सारी चाल को देखता रहता है।
For God's eyes are upon a person's ways; he sees all his steps.
There is no darkness, no thick gloom where the doers of iniquity may hide themselves.
For God does not need to examine a person further; there is no need for any person to go before him 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 mighty men into pieces for their ways that need no further investigation; he puts others in 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।
In this way he has knowledge of their deeds; he overthrows these people in the night; they are destroyed.
In the open sight of others, he kills them for their wicked deeds like criminals
because they turned away from following him and refused to acknowledge any of his ways.
In this way, they made the cry of poor people come to him; he heard the cry of afflicted people.
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 stays silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can perceive him? He rules over nation and individual alike,
so that a godless man may not rule, so that there may be no one to entrap people.
Suppose someone says to God, 'I am certainly guilty, but I will not sin any longer;
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 me what I cannot see; I have committed sin, but I will do it no longer.'
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।
Do you think that God will punish that person's sin, since you dislike what God does? You must choose, not I. So say what it is that you know.
Men of understanding will say to me— indeed, every wise man who hears me will say,
'Job speaks without knowledge; his words are without wisdom.'
36 ३६ भला होता, कि अय्यूब अन्त तक परीक्षा में रहता, क्योंकि उसने अनर्थकारियों के समान उत्तर दिए हैं।
If only Job were put on trial in the smallest details of his case because of his talking 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 adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands in mockery in our midst; he piles up words against God.”
