ಯೋಬನು 20
Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
“I'm forced to reply because I'm really upset!
3 ೩ ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ನಾನು ಅಪಮಾನಕರವಾದ ನಿನ್ನ ಖಂಡನೆಯನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೇನೆ, ಆದಕಾರಣ ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮವು ನನ್ನ ಬುದ್ಧಿಯಿಂದಲೇ ಕಲಿತ ಉತ್ತರವನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
What I hear you say insults me, but I know how to reply to you!
Don't you know that since ancient times, since human beings were put on this earth,
that the triumph of the wicked doesn't last long, that those who reject God are only happy for a short time?
Even though they are so tall they reach the heavens, even though their heads reach the clouds,
they will vanish forever like their own excrement. People who knew them will ask, ‘Where have they gone?’
They will vanish like a dream, never to be found, fleeing like a vision of the night.
Those who once saw them will not see them anymore; their families will never set eyes on them again.
10 ೧೦ ಅವನ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ದರಿದ್ರರ ದಯೆಯನ್ನು ಬೇಡುವರು. ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ಕೈಯಿಂದಲೇ ತನ್ನ ಆಸ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಹಿಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಬಿಡಬೇಕಾಗುವುದು.
Their children will have to pay back the poor; they will have to return their wealth.
Though the wicked have bodies that are young and strong, they will die and be buried.
Though evil tastes sweet in their mouths and they hide it under their tongues,
not letting it go but keeping it in their mouths,
in their stomachs it turns bitter, becoming like snake venom inside them.
They swallow wealth and vomit it up again; God forces it from their stomachs.
They suck in snake venom; the bite of the viper will kill them.
They will not live to enjoy the streams, the rivers of milk and honey.
They will have to give back what they have gained and will not have any benefit; they will not enjoy any of their profits.
19 ೧೯ ಅವನು ಬಡವರನ್ನು ಜಜ್ಜಿ ತ್ಯಜಿಸಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನಲ್ಲಾ; ಸುಲಿಗೆಯಿಂದ ಕಿತ್ತುಕೊಂಡ ಮನೆಯನ್ನು ಭದ್ರಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳದೆ ಹೋಗುವನು.
For they have oppressed and abandoned the poor; they have seized houses they did not build.
Because their greed was never satisfied, nothing they liked is left that they didn't consume.
Nothing escapes their ravenous appetites, so their happiness doesn't last long.
22 ೨೨ ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯು ತುಂಬಿರುವಾಗಲೇ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಇಕ್ಕಟ್ಟಾಗುವುದು. ಶ್ರಮೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬನ ಕೈ ಅವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೀಳುವುದು.
Even when the wicked have all that they want they run into trouble; all kinds of misery will fall upon them.
23 ೨೩ ಅವನ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ತುಂಬುವುದು, ಹೌದು, ದೇವರು ತನ್ನ ಕೋಪಾಗ್ನಿಯನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿ; ಅದನ್ನೇ ಆಹಾರವನ್ನಾಗಿ ಅವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಸುರಿಸುವನು.
While they are busy filling their bellies, God's hostility will burn against them, raining down on them.
As they flee to escape an iron weapon, a bronze arrow will strike them down.
25 ೨೫ ಅವನು ಬಾಣವನ್ನು ಕೀಳಲು ಅದು ಬೆನ್ನಿನಿಂದ ಹೊರಬರುವುದು, ಥಳಥಳಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಅವನ ಪಿತ್ತಕೋಶದೊಳಗಿಂದ ಹೊರಡುತ್ತಿರುವುದು, ಭಯಭ್ರಾಂತಿಗಳು ಅವನನ್ನು ಮುತ್ತಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವವು.
The arrow is pulled out of their gall bladder, glistening with blood. They are absolutely terrified!
26 ೨೬ ಅವನ ನಿಧಿನಿಕ್ಷೇಪಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಪೂರ್ಣಾಂಧಕಾರವು ಕಾದಿರುವುದು, ಯಾರೂ ಹೊತ್ತಿಸದ ಬೆಂಕಿಯು ಅವನನ್ನು ತಿಂದುಹಾಕಿ, ಅವನ ಗುಡಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದನ್ನು ಮೇದು ಬಿಡುವುದು.
All they value will disappear into the darkness; divine fire will destroy them; all they have left will go up in smoke.
The heavens reveal what they have done wrong; the earth will rise up against them.
All their possessions will be carried from their homes; they will be dragged off on the day of God's judgment.
This is the share the wicked receive from God, the inheritance God says they should have.”
