ಯೋಬನು 22
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 ೨ “ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಮಾತ್ರದವನಿಂದ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಏನು ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವಾದೀತು? ಒಬ್ಬನು ವಿವೇಕಿಯಾಗಿ ನಡೆದುಕೊಂಡರೆ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವಷ್ಟೆ.
Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? or is it gain to him, that you make your ways perfect?
Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?
Is not your wickedness great? and your iniquities infinite?
6 ೬ ನೋಡು, ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನಿಂದ ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಒತ್ತೆಯಾಳುಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಿ, ಬೆತ್ತಲೆಯವರ ಬಟ್ಟೆಯನ್ನೂ ಸೆಳಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಿ.
For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelled in it.
You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden fear troubles you;
Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.
Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
And you say, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14 ೧೪ ದಟ್ಟವಾದ ಮೋಡಗಳು ಆತನಿಗೆ ಪರದೆಯ ಹಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ನೋಡಲಾರನು; ಆಕಾಶಮಂಡಲದ ಮೇಲೆ ನಡೆದಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ’ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡೆಯಲ್ಲವೇ.
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circuit of heaven.
Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood:
17 ೧೭ ಅವರು ಆತನನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು, ‘ನಮ್ಮಿಂದ ತೊಲಗಿ ಹೋಗು, ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರು ನಮಗೇನು ಮಾಡಾನು’ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
Which said to God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.
Acquaint now yourself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come to you.
Receive, I pray you, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23 ೨೩ ನೀನು ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರ ಕಡೆಗೆ ತಿರುಗಿಕೊಂಡು, ನಿನ್ನ ಗುಡಾರಗಳಿಂದ ಅನ್ಯಾಯವನ್ನು ದೂರಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಉದ್ಧಾರವಾಗುವಿ.
If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, you shall put away iniquity far from your tabernacles.
Then shall you lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
Yes, the Almighty shall be your defense, and you shall have plenty of silver.
For then shall you have your delight in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.
You shall make your prayer to him, and he shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows.
You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you: and the light shall shine on your ways.
29 ೨೯ ಜನರು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೆಳಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಳಿಸುವಾಗ, ಮೇಲಕ್ಕೆ ಎತ್ತಲ್ಪಡುವೆನು ಅಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಿ, ಆಗ ದೀನದೃಷ್ಟಿಯುಳ್ಳ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಆತನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸುವನು.
When men are cast down, then you shall say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30 ೩೦ ನಿರ್ದೋಷಿಯನ್ನು ಆತನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸುವನು, ಹೌದು, ಆತನು ಇಂಥವನನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈಗಳ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧತೆಯೇ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿರುವುದು.”
He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of your hands.
