अय्यूब 9
Job replied,
2 २ “मैं निश्चय जानता हूँ कि बात ऐसी ही है; परन्तु मनुष्य परमेश्वर की दृष्टि में कैसे धर्मी ठहर सकता है?
“Yes, I know all that! But how can anyone be right before God?
If you wanted to argue with God, God could ask a thousand questions that no-one could answer.
God is so wise and so powerful that no-one could challenge him and win.
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।
God moves the mountains suddenly; he overturns them in his anger.
He shakes the earth, making its foundations quake.
He is the one who can command the sun not to rise and the stars not to shine.
He alone is the one who stretches out the heavens and walks on the waves of the sea.
He made the constellations of the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars of the southern sky.
10 १० वह तो ऐसे बड़े कर्म करता है, जिनकी थाह नहीं लगती; और इतने आश्चर्यकर्म करता है, जो गिने नहीं जा सकते।
He is the one who does incredible things that are beyond our understanding, marvelous things that are uncountable.
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।
But when he passes by me, I don't see him; when he moves on, he is invisible to me.
If he takes away, who can prevent him? Who is going to ask him, ‘What are you doing?’
God does not restrain his anger; he crushes Rahab's helpers underfoot.
So how much less could I answer God, or choose my words to argue with him!
15 १५ चाहे मैं निर्दोष भी होता परन्तु उसको उत्तर न दे सकता; मैं अपने मुद्दई से गिड़गिड़ाकर विनती करता।
Even though I'm right, I can't answer him. I must plead for mercy from 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।
Even if I called him to come and he responded, I don't believe he would listen to me.
He pounds me with the winds of a storm; he wounds me time and again, without giving a reason.
He doesn't give me a chance even to catch my breath; instead he fills my life with bitter suffering.
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 it's a question of strength, then God is the strongest. If it's a question of justice, then who will set a time for my case?
20 २० चाहे मैं निर्दोष ही क्यों न हूँ, परन्तु अपने ही मुँह से दोषी ठहरूँगा; खरा होने पर भी वह मुझे कुटिल ठहराएगा।
Even though I am right, my own mouth would condemn me; even though I am innocent, he would prove me wrong.
I am innocent! I don't care what happens to me. I hate my life!
That's why I say, ‘It makes no difference to God. He destroys both the innocent and the wicked.’
When disaster strikes suddenly he mocks the despair 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 has been handed over to the wicked; he blinds the eyes of the judges—if it's not him who does this, then 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।
The days of my life race by like a runner, rushing past without me seeing any happiness.
They pass by like fast sailing ships, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
If I said to myself, ‘I will forget my complaints; I will stop crying and be happy,’
I would still be terrified at all my suffering because you, God, will not say I'm innocent.
Since I'm condemned, what's the point in arguing?
Even if I wash myself with pure mountain water and clean my hands with soap,
you would toss me into a slime pit so that even my own clothes would hate 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 God is not a mortal being like me, I can't defend myself or take him to court.
If only there was an arbitrator who could bring us both together!
I wish God would stop beating me with his rod and terrifying me!
Then I could speak up without being afraid—but since I am, I can't!”
