ಯೋಬನು 33
“But now, Job, listen carefully to all that I am going to say [DOU].
I am ready to tell you [MTY, DOU] [what I think].
3 ೩ ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯದ ಯಥಾರ್ಥತ್ವವನ್ನು ನನ್ನ ಮಾತುಗಳೇ ತಿಳಿಸುವವು, ನನ್ನ ತುಟಿಗಳು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡದ್ದನ್ನೇ ಸತ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುವವು.
I know that I am speaking honestly and that I am speaking [MTY] sincerely.
Almighty God has created me [as well as you], and his breath has caused me to live.
So, answer [what] I [say] if you can; think carefully [about how you will reply to me].
“God considers that you, and I are both [equal]; he formed both of us from clay.
So you do not need to be afraid of me; I will not crush/oppress you [by what I say] [MTY].
I have heard you [DOU] speaking, and this is what you have said:
‘I am innocent; I have not committed any sins; I am pure; I have not done things that are wrong.
But God finds reasons to accuse me, and he considers that I am his enemy.
[It is as though] he has put my feet (in stocks/between wooden blocks to prevent me from walking away), and he watches everything that I do.’ [MTY]
But what you have said is wrong, and I will tell you [what you have said that is wrong]. God is much greater than any human.
So, (why are you arguing against God, saying ‘He never answers my questions’?/you should not be arguing against God, saying ‘He never answers my questions.’) [RHQ]
God does speak [to us] in various ways, but we do not pay any attention to what he says.
15 ೧೫ ಮನುಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಗಾಢನಿದ್ರೆಯು ಉಂಟಾದಾಗಲೂ, ಹಾಸಿಗೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಲಗಿದಾಗ ಜೊಂಪುಹತ್ತಿದಾಗಲೂ ಆತನು ಸ್ವಪ್ನದಲ್ಲಿ ರಾತ್ರಿಯ ಕನಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ,
[Sometimes he speaks to us] at night in dreams and visions, when we are on our beds, asleep [DOU].
He reveals things [MTY] to us and terrifies us by the things he warns us about.
He tell us those things in order that we stop doing [evil] things and to prevent us from becoming proud.
18 ೧೮ ಅವನ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಳದಂತೆ ತಡೆದು, ಅವನ ಜೀವವನ್ನು ದೈವಾಸ್ತ್ರದಿಂದ ಅಳಿದು ಹೋಗದ ಹಾಗೆ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸುವನು.
He does not want us to be destroyed [MTY]; he wants to prevent us from dying [MTY] [while we are still young].
God also [sometimes] corrects us by forcing us to lie on our beds suffering much pain and with fever/aching in our bones.
The result is that we do not desire any food, not even very special food.
Our bodies become very thin, with the result that we look like skeletons [HYP], and our bones stick out.
[We know that] we will soon die and go to the place where dead people are.
“But sometimes an angel [may come to one of us], one of the thousands of angels who come to intervene between us and God, to tell us what are the right things for us [to do].
24 ೨೪ ದೇವರು ಒಂದು ವೇಳೆ ಆ ಮನುಷ್ಯನನ್ನು ಮೆಚ್ಚಿ ಈಡು ದೊರಕುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿ, ‘ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಇಳಿಯದಂತೆ ಇವನನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸು’ ಎಂದು ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ,
The angel is kind to us and says to God, ‘Release that person, so that he does not descend to the place where dead people are! Do that because I have found the money to pay so that he can be released!
Allow his body to be strong again; allow him to be strong like he was when he was a youth!’
26 ೨೬ ಅವನು ದೇವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸಿ ಆತನ ಒಲುಮೆಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರನಾಗಿ, ಆತನ ದರ್ಶನ ಮಾಡಿ ಉತ್ಸಾಹದಿಂದ ಧ್ವನಿಗೈದು, ತಿರುಗಿ ಆತನಿಂದ ನೀತಿವಂತನೆಂದು ಎನ್ನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವನು.
When that happens, that person will pray to God, and God will accept/answer him; he will (enter God’s presence/worship God) joyfully, and then he will tell others how God saved him [from dying].
He will sing as he tells everyone, ‘I sinned, and I did things that were not right, but God did not punish me in the way that I deserved.
28 ೨೮ ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಅಧೋಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗದಂತೆ ವಿಮೋಚಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ, ನನ್ನ ಜೀವವು ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿರುವುದು’ ಎಂದು ಕೀರ್ತನೆ ಹಾಡುವನು.
He has saved me from dying and going to the place where dead people are, and I will continue to enjoy being alive.’
God does all these things for us many times;
he keeps us [SYN] from [dying and] going to the place where the dead are, in order that we can continue to enjoy being alive [IDM].
So Job, listen to me; do not say anything more; just allow me to speak.
32 ೩೨ ನೀನು ಏನಾದರೂ ಹೇಳಬೇಕೆಂದಿದ್ದರೆ ನನಗೆ ಉತ್ತರವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳು, ಮಾತನಾಡು, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನೀತಿವಂತನೆಂದು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಬೇಕೆಂಬುದೇ ನನ್ನ ಆಶೆ.
[After I speak], if you have something more that you want to say to me, say it, because I would like to find a way to declare that you (are innocent/have not done what is wrong).
But if you have nothing more that you want to say, then just listen to me, and I will teach you how to become wise.”
