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?
I know of a truth that it is so: for how shall a mortal man be just before the Lord?
For if he would enter into judgement with him, [God] would not listen to him, so that he should answer to one of his charges of a thousand.
For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: who has hardened himself against him and endured?
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।
Who wears out the mountains, and [men] know it not: who overturns them in anger.
Who shakes the [earth] under heaven from its foundations, and its pillars totter.
Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and he seals up the stars.
Who alone has stretched out the heavens, and walks on the sea as on firm ground.
Who makes Pleias, and Hesperus, and Arcturus, 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 and unsearchable things; glorious also and excellent things, innumerable.
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।
If ever he should go beyond me, I shall not see him: if he should pass by me, neither thus have I known [it].
If he would take away, who shall turn him back? or who shall say to him, What have you done?
For [if] he has turned away [his] anger, the whales under heaven have stooped under him.
Oh then that he would listen to me, or judge my cause.
15 १५ चाहे मैं निर्दोष भी होता परन्तु उसको उत्तर न दे सकता; मैं अपने मुद्दई से गिड़गिड़ाकर विनती करता।
For though I be righteous, he will not listen to me: I will entreat his judgement.
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।
And if I should call and he should not listen, I can’t believe that he has listened to my voice.
Let him not crush me with a dark storm: but he has made by bruises many without cause.
For he suffers me not to take breath, but he has filled 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?
For indeed he is strong in power: who then shall resist his judgement?
20 २० चाहे मैं निर्दोष ही क्यों न हूँ, परन्तु अपने ही मुँह से दोषी ठहरूँगा; खरा होने पर भी वह मुझे कुटिल ठहराएगा।
For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane: and though I should seem blameless, I shall be proved perverse.
For even if I have sinned, I know it not [in] my soul: but my life is taken away.
Therefore I said, Wrath slays the great and mighty man.
For the worthless die, but the righteous are laughed to scorn.
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?
For they are delivered into the hands of the unrighteous [man]: he covers the faces of the judges [of the earth]: but if it be not he, who 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।
But my life is swifter than a post: [my days] have fled away, and they knew it not.
Or again, is there a trace of [their] path [left] by ships? or is there one of the flying eagle as it seeks [its] prey?
And if I should say, I will forget to speak, I will bow down my face and groan;
I quake in all my limbs, for I know that you will not leave me alone [as] innocent.
But since I am ungodly, why have I not died?
For if I should wash myself with snow, and purge myself with pure hands,
you had thoroughly plunged me in filth, and my garment had abhorred 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 you are not man like me, with whom I could contend, that we might come together to judgement.
Would that [he] our mediator were [present], and a reprover, and one who should hear [the cause] between both.
Let him remove [his] rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
so shall I not be afraid, but I will speak: for I am not thus conscious [of guilt].
