ಯೋಬನು 33
Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and listen to my speech.
For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken.
3 ೩ ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯದ ಯಥಾರ್ಥತ್ವವನ್ನು ನನ್ನ ಮಾತುಗಳೇ ತಿಳಿಸುವವು, ನನ್ನ ತುಟಿಗಳು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡದ್ದನ್ನೇ ಸತ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುವವು.
My heart [shall be found] pure by [my] words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity.
The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me.
If you can, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I [will stand] against you.
You are formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same [substance].
My fear shall not terrify you, neither shall my hand be heavy upon you.
But you have said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of your words; ) because you say, I am pure, not having sinned;
I am blameless, for I have not transgressed.
Yet he has discovered a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary.
And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways.
For how say you, I am righteous, yet he has not listened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal.
But you say, Why has he not heard every word of my cause?
For when the Lord speaks once, or a second time,
15 ೧೫ ಮನುಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಗಾಢನಿದ್ರೆಯು ಉಂಟಾದಾಗಲೂ, ಹಾಸಿಗೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಲಗಿದಾಗ ಜೊಂಪುಹತ್ತಿದಾಗಲೂ ಆತನು ಸ್ವಪ್ನದಲ್ಲಿ ರಾತ್ರಿಯ ಕನಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ,
[sending] a dream, or in the meditation of the night; (as when a dreadful alarm happens to fall upon men, in slumberings on the bed: )
then opens he the understanding of men: he scares them with such fearful visions:
to turn a man from unrighteousness, and he delivers his body from a fall.
18 ೧೮ ಅವನ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಳದಂತೆ ತಡೆದು, ಅವನ ಜೀವವನ್ನು ದೈವಾಸ್ತ್ರದಿಂದ ಅಳಿದು ಹೋಗದ ಹಾಗೆ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸುವನು.
He spares also his soul from death, and [suffers] him not to fall in war.
And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones is benumbed.
And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat;
until his flesh shall be consumed, and he shall show his bones bare.
His soul also draws near to death, and his life is in Hades.
Though there should be a thousand messengers of death, not one of them shall wound him: if he should purpose in his heart to turn to the Lord, and declare to man his fault, and show his folly;
24 ೨೪ ದೇವರು ಒಂದು ವೇಳೆ ಆ ಮನುಷ್ಯನನ್ನು ಮೆಚ್ಚಿ ಈಡು ದೊರಕುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿ, ‘ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಇಳಿಯದಂತೆ ಇವನನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸು’ ಎಂದು ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ,
he will support him, that he should not perish, and will restore his body as [fresh] plaster upon a wall; and he will fill his bones with morrow.
And he will make his flesh tender as that of a babe, and he will restore him among men in [his] full strength.
26 ೨೬ ಅವನು ದೇವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸಿ ಆತನ ಒಲುಮೆಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರನಾಗಿ, ಆತನ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡಿ ಉತ್ಸಾಹದಿಂದ ಧ್ವನಿಗೈದು, ತಿರುಗಿ ಆತನಿಂದ ನೀತಿವಂತನೆಂದು ಎನ್ನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವನು.
And he shall pray to the Lord, and his prayer shall be accepted of him; he shall enter with a cheerful countenance, with a full expression [of praise]: for he will render to men [their] due.
Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, What kind of things have I done? and he has not punished me according to the full amount of my sins.
28 ೨೮ ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗದಂತೆ ವಿಮೋಚಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ, ನನ್ನ ಜೀವವು ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿರುವುದು’ ಎಂದು ಕೀರ್ತನೆ ಹಾಡುವನು.
Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, and my life shall see the light.
Behold, all these things, the Mighty One works in a threefold manner with a man.
And he has delivered my soul from death, that my life may praise him in the light.
Listen, Job, and hear me: be silent, and I will speak.
32 ೩೨ ನೀನು ಏನಾದರೂ ಹೇಳಬೇಕೆಂದಿದ್ದರೆ ನನಗೆ ಉತ್ತರವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳು, ಮಾತನಾಡು, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನೀತಿವಂತನೆಂದು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಬೇಕೆಂಬುದೇ ನನ್ನ ಆಶೆ.
If you have words, answer me: speak, for I desire you to be justified.
If not, do you hear me: be silent, and I will teach you.
