अय्यूब 34
Moreover Elihu answered,
“Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you 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 amongst ourselves what is good.
For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.
Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’
10 १० “इसलिए हे समझवालों! मेरी सुनो, यह सम्भव नहीं कि परमेश्वर दुष्टता का काम करे, और सर्वशक्तिमान बुराई करे।
“Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?
If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
“If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘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 doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect 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. The mighty are taken away without a 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 on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgement.
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 in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
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. 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 away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. 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? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
“For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but 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 me that which I don’t 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 you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
‘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।
I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his 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 adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands amongst us, and multiplies his words against God.”
