ಯೋಬನು 33
Now listen to me, Job. Pay attention to everything I have to say.
Look, I'm about to speak; my mouth is ready to talk.
3 ೩ ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯದ ಯಥಾರ್ಥತ್ವವನ್ನು ನನ್ನ ಮಾತುಗಳೇ ತಿಳಿಸುವವು, ನನ್ನ ತುಟಿಗಳು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡದ್ದನ್ನೇ ಸತ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುವವು.
My words come from my upright heart; my lips speak sincerely of what I know.
The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Answer me, if you can. Stand in front of me and prepare to defend yourself.
Look, before God we are both the same. I was also made from a piece of clay.
See here, you don't need to be frightened of me. I won't be too hard on you.
You spoke in my hearing and I have listened to everything you had to say.
You say, ‘I'm clean, I've done nothing wrong; I'm pure, I have not sinned.
See how God finds fault with me and treats me as his enemy.
He puts my feet in the stocks and watches everything I do.’
But look, you are wrong—let me explain. God is greater than any human being.
Why are you fighting against him, complaining that God isn't answering your questions?
God speaks over and over again, but people don't notice.
15 ೧೫ ಮನುಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಗಾಢನಿದ್ರೆಯು ಉಂಟಾದಾಗಲೂ, ಹಾಸಿಗೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಲಗಿದಾಗ ಜೊಂಪುಹತ್ತಿದಾಗಲೂ ಆತನು ಸ್ವಪ್ನದಲ್ಲಿ ರಾತ್ರಿಯ ಕನಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ,
Through dreams and visions in the night, when people fall into deep sleep, resting on their beds,
God speaks to them with solemn warnings
to turn them away from doing wrong and to stop them from becoming proud.
18 ೧೮ ಅವನ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಳದಂತೆ ತಡೆದು, ಅವನ ಜೀವವನ್ನು ದೈವಾಸ್ತ್ರದಿಂದ ಅಳಿದು ಹೋಗದ ಹಾಗೆ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸುವನು.
He saves them from the grave and spares them from violent death.
People are also disciplined on a bed of pain with constant aching in their bones.
They have no desire to eat; they do not even want their favorite dishes.
Their flesh wastes away to nothing; all that's left is skin and bones.
They are close to death; their lives approaching the executioner.
But if an angel appears, a mediator, one of God's thousands of angels, to tell someone the right way for them,
24 ೨೪ ದೇವರು ಒಂದು ವೇಳೆ ಆ ಮನುಷ್ಯನನ್ನು ಮೆಚ್ಚಿ ಈಡು ದೊರಕುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿ, ‘ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಇಳಿಯದಂತೆ ಇವನನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸು’ ಎಂದು ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ,
he will be gracious to them. He will say, ‘Save them from going down into the grave, for I have found a way to free them.’
Then their bodies will be renewed as if they were young again; they will be as strong as when they were in their prime.
26 ೨೬ ಅವನು ದೇವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸಿ ಆತನ ಒಲುಮೆಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರನಾಗಿ, ಆತನ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡಿ ಉತ್ಸಾಹದಿಂದ ಧ್ವನಿಗೈದು, ತಿರುಗಿ ಆತನಿಂದ ನೀತಿವಂತನೆಂದು ಎನ್ನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವನು.
They will pray to God, and he will accept them; they come into God's presence with joy, and he will set things right for them.
They sing, and tell others, ‘I sinned, I distorted what is right, but it did not do me any good.
28 ೨೮ ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗದಂತೆ ವಿಮೋಚಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ, ನನ್ನ ಜೀವವು ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿರುವುದು’ ಎಂದು ಕೀರ್ತನೆ ಹಾಡುವನು.
He saved me from going down into the grave and I will live in the light.’
Look, God does this time and again for people;
he saves them from the grave so they might see the light of life.
Pay attention Job, and listen to me! Be quiet—let me speak!
32 ೩೨ ನೀನು ಏನಾದರೂ ಹೇಳಬೇಕೆಂದಿದ್ದರೆ ನನಗೆ ಉತ್ತರವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳು, ಮಾತನಾಡು, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನೀತಿವಂತನೆಂದು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಬೇಕೆಂಬುದೇ ನನ್ನ ಆಶೆ.
But if you have anything to say, then speak up.
If not, listen to me. Keep quiet and I will teach you wisdom.”
