अय्यूब 39
1 १ “क्या तू जानता है कि पहाड़ पर की जंगली बकरियाँ कब बच्चे देती हैं? या जब हिरनियाँ बियाती हैं, तब क्या तू देखता रहता है?
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? dost thou mark the calving of the hinds?
Dost thou number the months that they fulfil? and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
They bow themselves, they give birth to their young ones, they cast out their pains;
Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field, they go forth, and return not unto them.
Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager,
Whose house I made the wilderness, and the salt plain his dwellings?
He laugheth at the tumult of the city, and heareth not the shouts of the driver;
The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
Will the buffalo be willing to serve thee, or will he lodge by thy crib?
10 १० क्या तू जंगली साँड़ को रस्से से बाँधकर रेघारियों में चला सकता है? क्या वह नालों में तेरे पीछे-पीछे हेंगा फेरेगा?
Canst thou bind the buffalo with his cord in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11 ११ क्या तू उसके बड़े बल के कारण उस पर भरोसा करेगा? या जो परिश्रम का काम तेरा हो, क्या तू उसे उस पर छोड़ेगा?
Wilt thou put confidence in him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?
13 १३ “फिर शुतुर्मुर्गी अपने पंखों को आनन्द से फुलाती है, परन्तु क्या ये पंख और पर स्नेह को प्रगट करते हैं?
The wing of the ostrich beats joyously — But is it the stork's pinion and plumage?
For she leaveth her eggs to the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample them.
16 १६ वह अपने बच्चों से ऐसी कठोरता करती है कि मानो उसके नहीं हैं; यद्यपि उसका कष्ट अकारथ होता है, तो भी वह निश्चिन्त रहती है;
She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers; her labour is in vain, without her concern.
For God hath deprived her of wisdom, and hath not furnished her with understanding.
What time she lasheth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
Hast thou given strength to the horse? hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
Dost thou make him to leap as a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
21 २१ वह तराई में टाप मारता है और अपने बल से हर्षित रहता है, वह हथियार-बन्दों का सामना करने को निकल पड़ता है।
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength; he goeth forth to meet the armed host.
He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from before the sword.
The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage, and cannot contain himself at the sound of the trumpet:
25 २५ जब जब नरसिंगा बजता तब-तब वह हिन-हिन करता है, और लड़ाई और अफसरों की ललकार और जय जयकार को दूर से सूँघ लेता है।
At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Doth the hawk fly by thine intelligence, [and] stretch his wings toward the south?
Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make his nest on high?
He inhabiteth the rock and maketh his dwelling on the point of the cliff, and the fastness:
From thence he spieth out the prey, his eyes look into the distance;
And his young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he.
