ಯೋಬನು 21
Then answered Job, and said,
Hear, O hear my speech, and let this be wherewith you give consolations.
Bear with me that I may indeed speak: and after my speaking, then canst thou mock.
As for me, —is against man my complaint? and if this be so, why should my spirit not be impatient?
Turn yourselves unto me, and be astounded, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
Yea, when I think of it, I am terrified, and shuddering seizeth hold of my flesh.
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, grow strong in power?
8 ೮ ಅವರ ಸಂತಾನದವರು ಅವರೊಂದಿಗಿರುತ್ತಾ ಅವರ ಮುಂದೆಯೇ ಸುಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿರುವರು, ಅವರ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಅವರ ಕಣ್ಣೆದುರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಚಲವಾಗಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುವರು.
Their seed is firmly established in their presence with them. their offspring are before their eyes.
Their houses are at peace without any dread, and no rod of God [cometh] over them.
The bull of each one gendereth, and disappointeth not: the cow of each one calveth, and casteth not her young.
They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children skip about [with joy].
They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
They wear out their days in happiness, and in a moment they go down to the nether world. (Sheol h7585)
And yet they say unto God, “Depart from us; and the knowledge of thy ways we desire not.
15 ೧೫ ಆ ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರು ಎಷ್ಟರವನು, ಆತನನ್ನು ನಾವು ಏಕೆ ಸೇವಿಸಬೇಕು? ಆತನಿಗೆ ವಿಜ್ಞಾಪನೆ ಮಾಡುವುದರಿಂದ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವೇನು?’ ಎಂದೂ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit shall we have, if we entreat him urgently?”
Lo, not in their hand doth their happiness rest! The counsel of the wicked be [still] 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 is the lamp of the wicked quenched? and how often cometh over them their calamity? and doth [God] distribute their lot in his anger?
18 ೧೮ ಅವರು ಗಾಳಿಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಬಿದ್ದ ಹುಲ್ಲಿನಂತೆ ಆದದ್ದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ? ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ ಬಿರುಗಾಳಿಯು ಕೊಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವ ಹೊಟ್ಟಿನಂತಿದ್ದರು?
Are they as straw before the wind, and as chaff which the stealeth away?
19 ೧೯ ‘ದೇವರು ದುಷ್ಟನ ಪಾಪ ಫಲವನ್ನು ಅವನ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಇಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನೆ’ ಎನ್ನುತ್ತೀರೋ, ಆ ಫಲವನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುವ ಹಾಗೆ ದೇವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಲಿ.
Should God lay up for his children his wrong-doing? it were better that he reward him, that he might know it himself.
His own eyes ought to see his downfall, and from the wrath of the Almighty ought he to drink.
For what care hath he for his household after him, when the number of his months is all apportioned to him?
Is this fitting God, who teacheth knowledge? him who judgeth those that are highest?
That this one dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet;
His vessels being full of healthy fluid, and the marrow of his bones being well moistened:
While this other dieth with an embittered soul, and hath never partaken of any happiness;
[And yet] together they must lie down in the dust, and the worms will cover them?
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the opinions which ye wrongfully devise against me.
For ye say, Where is the house of the noble-minded? and where is the tent of the dwelling-places of the wicked?
Have ye not asked the wayfarers? surely their token ye cannot disregard,
30 ೩೦ ಆಪತ್ತಿನ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ದುಷ್ಟನು ಉಳಿದು, ಕೋಪವು ತುಂಬಿ ತುಳುಕುವ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವನು ಎಂಬುದು ನಿಮಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲವೋ?
That the bad man is reserved for the day of calamity, [that the wicked] are carried forward to the day of wrath.
31 ೩೧ ನೀನು ದುರ್ಮಾರ್ಗಿ ಎಂದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮುಖಾಮುಖಿಯಾಗಿ ಯಾರು ತಾನೇ ಹೇಳುವರು? ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮುಯ್ಯಿಗೆ ಮುಯ್ಯಿ ತೀರಿಸುವವರು ಯಾರು?
[But] who will tell him to his face of his way? and who will repay him what he hath done?
Yea he will indeed be carried to the grave, and men will quickly think of his monument:
33 ೩೩ ಆ ಕಣಿವೆಯ ಪ್ರದೇಶದ ಹೆಂಟೆಗಳು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪಿತವಾಗಿರುವವು. ಅವನಿಗಿಂತ ಹಿಂದೆ ಲೆಕ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲದಷ್ಟು ಜನರು ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಇದ್ದರು, ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂದೆ ಸಮಸ್ತರೂ ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಅವನನ್ನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸುವರು.
Sweet are to him the clods of the valley; and after him succeedeth every man, as those that were before him are without number.
How then will ye comfort me with vanity? and of your answers there remaineth only deception.
