ಯೋಬನು 22
Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
2 ೨ “ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಮಾತ್ರದವನಿಂದ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಏನು ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವಾದೀತು? ಒಬ್ಬನು ವಿವೇಕಿಯಾಗಿ ನಡೆದುಕೊಂಡರೆ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವಷ್ಟೆ.
Is it not the Lord that teaches understanding and knowledge?
For what matters it to the Lord, if thou wert blameless in [thy] works? or is it profitable that thou shouldest perfect thy way?
Wilt thou maintain and plead thine own cause? and will he enter into judgment with thee?
Is not thy wickedness abundant, and thy sins innumerable?
6 ೬ ನೋಡು, ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನಿಂದ ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಒತ್ತೆಯಾಳುಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಿ, ಬೆತ್ತಲೆಯವರ ಬಟ್ಟೆಯನ್ನೂ ಸೆಳಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಿ.
And thou hast taken security of thy brethren for nothing, and hast taken away the clothing of the naked.
Neither hast thou given water to the thirsty to drink, but hast taken away the morsel of the hungry.
And thou hast accepted the persons of some; and thou hast established those [that were already settled] on the earth.
But thou hast sent widows away empty, and has afflicted orphans.
Therefore snares have compassed thee, and disastrous war has troubled thee.
The light has proved darkness to thee, and water has covered thee on thy lying down.
Does not he that dwells in the high places observe? and has he not brought down the proud?
And thou has said, What does the Mighty One know? does he judge in the dark?
14 ೧೪ ದಟ್ಟವಾದ ಮೋಡಗಳು ಆತನಿಗೆ ಪರದೆಯ ಹಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ನೋಡಲಾರನು; ಆಕಾಶಮಂಡಲದ ಮೇಲೆ ನಡೆದಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ’ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡೆಯಲ್ಲವೇ.
A cloud is his hiding-place, and he shall not be seen; and he passes through the circle of heaven.
Wilt thou [not] mark the old way, which righteous men have trodden?
who were seized before their time: their foundations [are as] an overflowing stream.
17 ೧೭ ಅವರು ಆತನನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು, ‘ನಮ್ಮಿಂದ ತೊಲಗಿ ಹೋಗು, ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರು ನಮಗೇನು ಮಾಡಾನು’ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
Who say, What will the Lord do to us? or what will the Almighty bring upon us?
Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel for the wicked is far from him.
The righteous have seen [it], and laughed, and the blameless one has derided [them].
Verily their substance has been utterly destroyed, and the fire shall devour what is left of their [property].
Be firm, I pray thee, if thou canst endure; then thy fruit shall prosper.
And receive a declaration from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
23 ೨೩ ನೀನು ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರ ಕಡೆಗೆ ತಿರುಗಿಕೊಂಡು, ನಿನ್ನ ಗುಡಾರಗಳಿಂದ ಅನ್ಯಾಯವನ್ನು ದೂರಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಉದ್ಧಾರವಾಗುವಿ.
And if thou shalt turn and humble thyself before the Lord, thou hast [thus] removed unrighteousness far from thy habitation.
Thou shalt lay up for thyself [treasure] in a heap on the rock; and Sophir [shall be] as the rock of the torrent.
So the Almighty shall be thy helper from enemies, and he shall bring thee forth pure as silver that has been tried by fire.
Then shalt thou have boldness before the Lord, looking up cheerfully to heaven.
And he shall hear thee when thou prayest to him, and he shall grant thee [power] to pay thy vows.
And he shall establish to thee again a habitation of righteousness and there shall be light upon thy paths.
29 ೨೯ ಜನರು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೆಳಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಳಿಸುವಾಗ, ಮೇಲಕ್ಕೆ ಎತ್ತಲ್ಪಡುವೆನು ಅಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಿ, ಆಗ ದೀನದೃಷ್ಟಿಯುಳ್ಳ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಆತನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸುವನು.
Because thou hast humbled thyself; and thou shalt say, [Man] has behaved proudly, but he shall save him that is of lowly eyes.
30 ೩೦ ನಿರ್ದೋಷಿಯನ್ನು ಆತನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸುವನು, ಹೌದು, ಆತನು ಇಂಥವನನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈಗಳ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧತೆಯೇ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿರುವುದು.”
He shall deliver the innocent, and do thou save thyself by thy pure hands.
