ಯೋಬನು 15
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Should he reason with useless talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4 ೪ ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ನೀನು ದೇವರ ಭಯವನ್ನು ಹಾಳುಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವೆ, ನೀನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಪಾತಾಳಕ್ಕೆ ತಳ್ಳಿ ನನ್ನ ದೇವಭಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಕ್ಷಯಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತೀ.
Yea, you cast off fear, and restrain prayer before God.
For your mouth utters your iniquity, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
6 ೬ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಅಪರಾಧಿಯೆಂದು ನಿರ್ಣಯಿಸುವವನು ನಾನಲ್ಲ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮಾತುಗಳು ಕೂಡ ನಿನಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಕೊಡುತ್ತವೆ, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಅಪರಾಧಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
your own mouth condemns you, and not I: yea, your own lips testify against you.
Are you the first man that was born? or were you made before the hills?
8 ೮ ದೇವರ ಆಲೋಚನಾ ಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದುಕೊಂಡು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೀಯಾ? ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಿನ್ನ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಸೆಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದೀಯಾ?
Have you heard the secret of God? and do you restrain wisdom to yourself?
What know you, that we know not? what understand you, which is not in us?
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than your father.
Are the consolations of God small with you? is there any secret thing with you?
Why does your heart carry you away? and what do your eyes overlook,
That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he puts no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?
I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
The wicked man labors with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 ೨೧ ಭಯ ಅಪಾಯಗಳ ಸಪ್ಪಳವು ಅವನ ಕಿವಿಯಲ್ಲೇ ಇರುವುದು, ತಾನು ಸುಖವಾಗಿರುವಾಗಲೂ ಸೂರೆಗಾರನು ತನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೀಳುವನೆಂದು ಭಯಪಡುವನು.
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23 ೨೩ ‘ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಎಲ್ಲಿ?’ ಎಂದು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಾ ಅಲೆದಾಡುವನೆಂಬುದಾಗಿ ನಿಶ್ಚಯಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು, ಆ ಕತ್ತಲಿನ ದಿನವು ತನ್ನ ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡಿರುವನು.
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
For he stretches out his hand against God, and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
He runs upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
Because he covers his face with his fatness, and makes fatness on his flanks.
28 ೨೮ ಅವನು ಹಾಳು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಕೊಂಡು, ‘ದಿಬ್ಬಗಳಾಗಿ ಹೋಗಲಿ ಯಾರೂ ವಾಸಿಸದಿರಲಿ’ ಎಂದು ಶಾಪಹೊಂದಿದ ಮನೆಗಳೊಳಗೆ ವಾಸವಾಗಿದ್ದನು.
And he dwells in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabits, which are ready to become heaps.
29 ೨೯ ಇಂಥವನು ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯವಂತನಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಅವನ ಆಸ್ತಿಯು ಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿ ನಿಲ್ಲದು. ಅವನ ಪ್ರತಿ ಫಲವು ಭಾರದಿಂದ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಬಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
30 ೩೦ ಕತ್ತಲೊಳಗಿಂದ ಅವನು ಪಾರಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಕಿಚ್ಚು ಅವನ ಕೊಂಬೆಗಳನ್ನು ಒಣಗಿಸುವುದು, ದೇವರ ಶ್ವಾಸದಿಂದ ಒಣಗಿ ಹೋಗುವನು.
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
33 ೩೩ ಮಾಗದ ಹಣ್ಣುಗಳನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡ ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಿಯ ಬಳ್ಳಿಯಂತೆ ಇರುವನು, ಎಣ್ಣೆಯ ಮರದ ಹಾಗೆ ತನ್ನ ಹೂವುಗಳನ್ನು ಉದುರಿಸಿಬಿಡುವನು.
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepares deceit.
