ಯೋಬನು 15
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4 ೪ ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ನೀನು ದೇವರ ಭಯವನ್ನು ಹಾಳುಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವೆ, ನೀನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಪಾತಾಳಕ್ಕೆ ತಳ್ಳಿ ನನ್ನ ದೇವಭಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಕ್ಷಯಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತೀ.
Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6 ೬ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಅಪರಾಧಿಯೆಂದು ನಿರ್ಣಯಿಸುವವನು ನಾನಲ್ಲ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮಾತುಗಳು ಕೂಡ ನಿನಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಕೊಡುತ್ತವೆ, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಅಪರಾಧಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee.
[Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8 ೮ ದೇವರ ಆಲೋಚನಾ ಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದುಕೊಂಡು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೀಯಾ? ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಿನ್ನ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಸೆಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದೀಯಾ?
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou, which [is] not in us?
With us [are] both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father.
[Are] the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth?
What [is] man, that he should be clean? and [he who is] born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
How much more abominable and filthy [is] man, who drinketh iniquity like water?
I will show thee, hear me; and that [which] I have seen, I will declare;
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid [it]:
To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
The wicked man travaileth 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 believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for by the sword.
23 ೨೩ ‘ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಎಲ್ಲಿ?’ ಎಂದು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಾ ಅಲೆದಾಡುವನೆಂಬುದಾಗಿ ನಿಶ್ಚಯಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು, ಆ ಕತ್ತಲಿನ ದಿನವು ತನ್ನ ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿದ್ಧವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡಿರುವನು.
He wandereth abroad for bread, [saying], Where [is it]? he knoweth 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 stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
He runneth upon him, [even] on [his] neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on [his] flanks.
28 ೨೮ ಅವನು ಹಾಳು ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಕೊಂಡು, ‘ದಿಬ್ಬಗಳಾಗಿ ಹೋಗಲಿ ಯಾರೂ ವಾಸಿಸದಿರಲಿ’ ಎಂದು ಶಾಪಹೊಂದಿದ ಮನೆಗಳೊಳಗೆ ವಾಸವಾಗಿದ್ದನು.
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, [and] in houses which no man inhabiteth, 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 of it 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 recompense.
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 prepareth deceit.
