ಯೋಬನು 6
But Job answered and said,
2 ೨ “ಆಹಾ, ತ್ರಾಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ವಿಪತ್ತನ್ನು ಇಟ್ಟು; ಅದರಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಕರಕರೆಯ ಭಾರವನ್ನು ತೂಕ ಮಾಡುವುದಾದರೆ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು.
Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together!
3 ೩ ಆಗ ನನ್ನ ವಿಪತ್ತು ಸಮುದ್ರದ ಮರಳಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಭಾರವುಳ್ಳದ್ದೆಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುವುದು ಎಂದು ದುಡುಕಿನಿಂದ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.
4 ೪ ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರ ಬಾಣಗಳು ನನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಟಿರುತ್ತವೆ, ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮವು ಅವುಗಳ ವಿಷವನ್ನು ಹೀರಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ; ದೇವರು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ ಅಪಾಯಗಳು ನನಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ವ್ಯೂಹಕಟ್ಟಿವೆ.
For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.
What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has a fodder?
Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words?
For my wrath can’t cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion [to be] loathsome.
For oh that he would grant [my desire], and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope!
Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.
10 ೧೦ ಆಗ ನಾನು ಆದರಣೆ ಹೊಂದಿ ಮಿತಿಯಿಲ್ಲದ ಯಾತನೆಯಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಉಲ್ಲಾಸಿಸುವೆನು. ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧ ದೇವರ ಆಜ್ಞೆಗಳನ್ನು ನಾನು ತೊರೆದುಬಿಟ್ಟವನಲ್ಲ.
Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God.
For what is my strength, that I continue? what is my time, that my soul endures?
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
Or have I not trusted in him? but help is [far] from me.
14 ೧೪ ಒಬ್ಬನು ಮನಗುಂದಿ ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರ ಮೇಲಣ ಭಯಭಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಬಿಡುವವನಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ; ಅವನ ಮಿತ್ರನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ದಯೆ ತೋರಿಸಬೇಕು.
Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me.
My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing brook, or like a wave.
They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice.
When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was.
Thus I also have been deserted of all; and I am ruined, and become an outcast.
Behold the ways of the Thaemanites, you that mark the paths of the Sabaeans.
They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame.
But you also have come to me without pity; so that beholding my wound you are afraid.
22 ೨೨ ನನ್ನ ಬಿನ್ನಹವೇನು? ‘ನನಗೆ ದಾನಮಾಡಿರಿ’ ಎಂದು ಬಿನ್ನವಿಸಿದೆನೋ? ನಿಮ್ಮ ಆಸ್ತಿಯಿಂದ, ‘ನನಗಾಗಿ ಲಂಚಕೊಡಿರಿ’ ಎಂದೆನೋ?
What? have I made any demand of you? or do I ask for strength from you,
23 ೨೩ ವಿರೋಧಿಯ ಕೈಯಿಂದ, ‘ನನ್ನನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸಿರಿ’ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿಕೊಂಡೆನೋ? ಬಲಾತ್ಕರಿಸುವವರಿಂದ, ‘ನನ್ನನ್ನು ವಿಮೋಚಿಸಿರಿ’ ಎಂದು ಬೇಡಿಕೊಂಡೆನೋ?
to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?
Teach you me, and I will be silent: if in anything I have erred, tell me.
But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, because I do not ask strength of you.
Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech.
Even because you attack the fatherless, and insult your friend.
But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.
Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just.
30 ೩೦ ರುಚಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ನಾಲಿಗೆಯು ತಪ್ಪುಮಾಡುತ್ತದೋ? ಸತ್ಯಾಸತ್ಯಗಳ, ನ್ಯಾಯಾನ್ಯಾಯಗಳನ್ನು ವಿವೇಚಿಸುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ನನಗಿಲ್ಲವೇ?
For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?
