अय्यूब 9
Then Job answered and said,
2 २ “मैं निश्चय जानता हूँ कि बात ऐसी ही है; परन्तु मनुष्य परमेश्वर की दृष्टि में कैसे धर्मी ठहर सकता है?
Of a truth I know that it is so. But how can man be just with God?
If he is pleased to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?
5 ५ वह तो पर्वतों को अचानक हटा देता है और उन्हें पता भी नहीं लगता, वह क्रोध में आकर उन्हें उलट-पुलट कर देता है।
He who removes the mountains, and they do not know it when he overturns them in his anger,
who shakes the earth out of its place, and the pillars of it tremble,
who commands the sun, and it does not rise, and seals up the stars,
who alone stretches out the heavens, and treads upon the waves of the sea,
who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south,
10 १० वह तो ऐसे बड़े कर्म करता है, जिनकी थाह नहीं लगती; और इतने आश्चर्यकर्म करता है, जो गिने नहीं जा सकते।
who does great things past finding out, yea, marvelous things without number.
11 ११ देखो, वह मेरे सामने से होकर तो चलता है परन्तु मुझ को नहीं दिखाई पड़ता; और आगे को बढ़ जाता है, परन्तु मुझे सूझ ही नहीं पड़ता है।
Lo, he goes by me, and I do not see him. He also passes on, but I do not perceive him.
Behold, he seizes; who can hinder him? Who will say to him, What are thou doing?
God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15 १५ चाहे मैं निर्दोष भी होता परन्तु उसको उत्तर न दे सकता; मैं अपने मुद्दई से गिड़गिड़ाकर विनती करता।
Whom, though I were righteous, yet I would not answer. I would make supplication to my judge.
16 १६ चाहे मेरे पुकारने से वह उत्तर भी देता, तो भी मैं इस बात पर विश्वास न करता, कि वह मेरी बात सुनता है।
If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice.
For he breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
He will not allow me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19 १९ यदि सामर्थ्य की चर्चा हो, तो देखो, वह बलवान है और यदि न्याय की चर्चा हो, तो वह कहेगा मुझसे कौन मुकद्दमा लड़ेगा?
If of strength, lo, he is mighty! And if of justice, who will summon me?
20 २० चाहे मैं निर्दोष ही क्यों न हूँ, परन्तु अपने ही मुँह से दोषी ठहरूँगा; खरा होने पर भी वह मुझे कुटिल ठहराएगा।
Though I be righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
Though I were perfect, I do not regard myself. I despise my life.
It is all one thing. Therefore I say, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.
If the scourge kills suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 २४ देश दुष्टों के हाथ में दिया गया है। परमेश्वर उसके न्यायियों की आँखों को मूँद देता है; इसका करनेवाला वही न हो तो कौन है?
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of the judges of it. If not he, who then is it?
25 २५ “मेरे दिन हरकारे से भी अधिक वेग से चले जाते हैं; वे भागे जाते हैं और उनको कल्याण कुछ भी दिखाई नहीं देता।
Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good,
They are passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
If I say, I will forget my complaint. I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer,
I am afraid of all my sorrows. I know that thou will not hold me innocent.
I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands ever so clean,
yet thou will plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
32 ३२ क्योंकि परमेश्वर मेरे तुल्य मनुष्य नहीं है कि मैं उससे वाद-विवाद कर सकूँ, और हम दोनों एक दूसरे से मुकद्दमा लड़ सके।
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
There is no umpire between us who might lay his hand upon us both.
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his terror make me afraid.
Then I would speak, and not be afraid of him, for I am not so in myself.
