अय्यूब 34
And Elihu answereth and saith:
Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what [is] good.
For Job hath said, 'I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
Against my right do I lie? Mortal [is] mine arrow — without transgression.'
Who [is] a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
For he hath said, 'It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'
10 १० “इसलिए हे समझवालों! मेरी सुनो, यह सम्भव नहीं कि परमेश्वर दुष्टता का काम करे, और सर्वशक्तिमान बुराई करे।
Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And [from] the Mighty to do perverseness:
For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.
Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?
If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.
And if [there is] understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.
Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?
Who hath said to a king — 'Worthless,' Unto princes — '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।
That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands [are] 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।
[In] a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty 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] on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.
There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;
For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto 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 breaketh the mighty — no searching! And He appointeth 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 He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.
As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.
Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,
To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth.
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
And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, [It is] the same.
From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people;
For unto God hath any said: 'I have taken away, I do not corruptly,
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?’
Besides [that which] I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done — I do not add?'
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।
By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused — That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak.
Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.
Job — not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words [are] not with wisdom.
36 ३६ भला होता, कि अय्यूब अन्त तक परीक्षा में रहता, क्योंकि उसने अनर्थकारियों के समान उत्तर दिए हैं।
My Father! let Job be tried — unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity,
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 doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.
