ಯೋಬನು 21
Then Job answered, and said:
Hear, I beseech you, my words, and do penance.
Suffer me, and I will speak, and after, if you please, laugh at my words.
Is my debate against man, that I should not have just reason to be troubled?
Hearken to me and be astonished, and lay your finger on your mouth.
As for me, when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
Why then do the wicked live, are they advanced, and strengthened with riches?
8 ೮ ಅವರ ಸಂತಾನದವರು ಅವರೊಂದಿಗಿರುತ್ತಾ ಅವರ ಮುಂದೆಯೇ ಸುಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿರುವರು, ಅವರ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಅವರ ಕಣ್ಣೆದುರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಚಲವಾಗಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುವರು.
Their seed continueth before them, a multitude of kinsmen, and of children’s children in their sight.
Their houses are secure and peaceable, and the rod of God is not upon them.
Their cattle have conceived, and failed not: their cow has calved, and is not deprived of her fruit.
Their little ones go out like a flock, and their children dance and play.
They take the timbrel, and the harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment they go down to hell. (Sheol h7585)
Who have said to God: Depart from us, we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
15 ೧೫ ಆ ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರು ಎಷ್ಟರವನು, ಆತನನ್ನು ನಾವು ಏಕೆ ಸೇವಿಸಬೇಕು? ಆತನಿಗೆ ವಿಜ್ಞಾಪನೆ ಮಾಡುವುದರಿಂದ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವೇನು?’ ಎಂದೂ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what doth it profit us if we pray to him?
Yet because their good things are not in their hand, may the counsel of the wicked be far from me.
17 ೧೭ ದುಷ್ಟರ ದೀಪವು ಆರಿಹೋದದ್ದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ? ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ ಉಪದ್ರವವು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಸಂಭವಿಸಿದೆ? ದೇವರು ಕೋಪಗೊಂಡು ಅವರ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ಸಂಕಟಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟದ್ದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ?
How often shall the lamp of the wicked be put out, and a deluge come upon them, and he shall distribute the sorrows of his wrath?
18 ೧೮ ಅವರು ಗಾಳಿಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಬಿದ್ದ ಹುಲ್ಲಿನಂತೆ ಆದದ್ದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ? ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ ಬಿರುಗಾಳಿಯು ಕೊಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವ ಹೊಟ್ಟಿನಂತಿದ್ದರು?
They shall be as chaff before the face of the wind, and as ashes which the whirlwind scattereth.
19 ೧೯ ‘ದೇವರು ದುಷ್ಟನ ಪಾಪ ಫಲವನ್ನು ಅವನ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಇಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನೆ’ ಎನ್ನುತ್ತೀರೋ, ಆ ಫಲವನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುವ ಹಾಗೆ ದೇವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಲಿ.
God shall lay up the sorrow of the father for his children: and when he shall repay, then shall he know.
His eyes shall see his own destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
For what is it to him what befalleth his house after him: and if the number of his months be diminished by one half?
Shall any one teach God knowledge, who judgeth those that are high?
One man dieth strong, and hale, rich and happy.
His bowels are full of fat, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
But another dieth in bitterness of soul without any riches:
And yet they shall sleep together in the dust, and worms shall cover them.
Surely I know your thoughts, and your unjust judgments against me.
For you say: Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
Ask any one of them that go by the way, and you shall perceive that he knoweth these same things.
30 ೩೦ ಆಪತ್ತಿನ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ದುಷ್ಟನು ಉಳಿದು, ಕೋಪವು ತುಂಬಿ ತುಳುಕುವ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವನು ಎಂಬುದು ನಿಮಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲವೋ?
Because the wicked man is reserved to the day of destruction, and he shall be brought to the day of wrath.
31 ೩೧ ನೀನು ದುರ್ಮಾರ್ಗಿ ಎಂದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮುಖಾಮುಖಿಯಾಗಿ ಯಾರು ತಾನೇ ಹೇಳುವರು? ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮುಯ್ಯಿಗೆ ಮುಯ್ಯಿ ತೀರಿಸುವವರು ಯಾರು?
Who shall reprove his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
He shall be brought to the graves, and shall watch in the heap of the dead.
33 ೩೩ ಆ ಕಣಿವೆಯ ಪ್ರದೇಶದ ಹೆಂಟೆಗಳು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪಿತವಾಗಿರುವವು. ಅವನಿಗಿಂತ ಹಿಂದೆ ಲೆಕ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲದಷ್ಟು ಜನರು ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಇದ್ದರು, ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂದೆ ಸಮಸ್ತರೂ ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಅವನನ್ನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸುವರು.
He hath been acceptable to the gravel of Cocytus, and he shall draw every man after him, and there are innumerable before him.
How then do ye comfort me in vain, whereas your answer is shewn to be repugnant to truth?
