ಯೋಬನು 9
THEN Job answered and said,
I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 ೪ ದೇವರ ಹೃದಯವು ವಿವೇಕವುಳ್ಳದ್ದು, ಆತನ ಶಕ್ತಿಯು ಪ್ರಬಲವಾದದ್ದು. ಆತನ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ಮನಸ್ಸು ಕಠಿಣಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡವನು ಸಾರ್ಥಕನಾದದ್ದುಂಟೇ?
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7 ೭ ಹುಟ್ಟಬೇಡವೆಂದು ಆತನು ಅಪ್ಪಣೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ ಸೂರ್ಯನು ಹುಟ್ಟುವುದಿಲ್ಲ; ನಕ್ಷತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಮುಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟು ಮುದ್ರೆಹಾಕುತ್ತಾನೆ.
Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9 ೯ ನಕ್ಷತ್ರಮಂಡಲವನ್ನೂ, ಮೃಗಶಿರವನ್ನೂ, ಕೃತ್ತಿಕೆಯನ್ನೂ, ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ದಿಕ್ಕಿನ ನಕ್ಷತ್ರಗೃಹಗಳನ್ನೂ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದವನು ಆತನೇ.
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19 ೧೯ ನಾನು ಬಲಿಷ್ಠನ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಮೊರೆಹೋಗುವೆನೆಂದರೆ ದೇವರು, ‘ಇಗೋ, ಇದ್ದೇನೆ’ ಎನ್ನುವನು. ನ್ಯಾಯವಿಚಾರಣೆಯು ಆಗಲಿ ಎಂದರೆ ಆತನು ನನಗೆ, ‘ಕಾಲ ನಿಯಾಮಕರು ಯಾರು?’ ಎನ್ನುವನು.
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
20 ೨೦ ನಾನು ನೀತಿವಂತನಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ನನ್ನ ಬಾಯೇ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಅಪರಾಧಿಯೆಂದು ತೋರ್ಪಡಿಸುವುದು. ನಾನು ನಿರ್ದೋಷಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಆತನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ದುರ್ಮಾರ್ಗಿಯೆಂದು ನಿರೂಪಿಸುವನು.
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 ೨೪ ಭೂಲೋಕವು ದುಷ್ಟರ ಕೈ ಸೇರಿದೆ; ಲೋಕದ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿಗಳ ಮುಖಗಳಿಗೆ ಮುಸುಕು ಹಾಕಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದವನು ಆತನಲ್ಲದೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಯಾರು?
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27 ೨೭ ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಲಾಪವನ್ನು ಮರೆತುಬಿಟ್ಟು, ಕಳೆಗುಂದಿದ ನನ್ನ ಮುಖವನ್ನು ಮಾರ್ಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಹರ್ಷಿಸುವೆನೆಂದು ಮನಸ್ಸು ಮಾಡಿದರೆ,
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
28 ೨೮ ನನ್ನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸಂಕಟಗಳಿಂದ ನನಗೆ ಭಯವುಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ; ನೀನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನಿರ್ದೋಷಿಯೆಂದು ಎಣಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲವೆಂದು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32 ೩೨ ಆತನು ನನ್ನಂಥವನಲ್ಲ, ಮನುಷ್ಯನಲ್ಲ, ನಾನು ಆತನೊಂದಿಗೆ ವಾದಿಸುವುದು ಹೇಗೆ? ನಾವಿಬ್ಬರೂ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಸನದ ಮುಂದೆ ಕೂಡುವುದು ಹೇಗೆ?
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
