अय्यूब 9
And Job answers and says:
2 २ “मैं निश्चय जानता हूँ कि बात ऐसी ही है; परन्तु मनुष्य परमेश्वर की दृष्टि में कैसे धर्मी ठहर सकता है?
“Truly I have known that [it is] so, But how is man righteous with God?
If he delights to strive with Him—He does not answer him one of a thousand.
Wise in heart and strong in power—Who has hardened toward Him and is at peace?
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 is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who has overturned them in His anger.
Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves.
Who is commanding to the sun, and it does not rise, And the stars He seals up.
Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea,
Making the Great Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the inner 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।
Doing great things until there is no searching, And wonderful, until there is no numbering.
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।
Behold, He goes over by me, and I do not see, And He passes on, and I do not attend to it.
Behold, He snatches away, who brings it back? Who says to Him, What [are] You doing?
God does not turn back His anger, Proud helpers have bowed under Him.
How much less do I answer Him? Choose out my words 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, I do not answer, For my judgment I make supplication.
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।
Though I had called and He answers me, I do not believe that He gives ear [to] my voice.
Because He bruises me with a storm, And has multiplied my wounds for nothing.
He does not permit me to refresh my spirit, But fills me with bitter things.
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 power, behold, the Strong One; And if of judgment—who convenes 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।
If I am righteous, my mouth declares me wicked; [If] I am perfect, it declares me perverse.
I am perfect; I do not know my soul, I despise my life.
It is the same thing, therefore I said, He is consuming the perfect and the wicked.
If a scourge puts to death suddenly, He laughs 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?
Earth has been given Into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of her judges, If not—where, who [is] he?
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।
My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have not seen good,
They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darts on food.
Though I say, I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!
I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that You do not acquit me.
I become wicked; why [is] this? I labor [in] vain.
If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified my hands with soap,
Then You dip me in corruption, And my garments have detested 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।
But if a man like myself—I answer Him, We come together into judgment.
If there were a mediator between us, He places his hand on us both.
He turns aside His rod from off me, And His terror does not make me afraid,
I speak, and do not fear Him, but I am not right with myself.”
