ഇയ്യോബ് 12
Then Job said [to his three friends],
“You (talk as though/You think) [SAR] that you are the people [whom everyone should listen to], and that when you die, there will be no more wise people.
3 ൩ നിങ്ങളെപ്പോലെ എനിക്കും ബുദ്ധി ഉണ്ട്; നിങ്ങളേക്കാൾ ഞാൻ ഒട്ടും കുറഞ്ഞവനല്ല; ആർക്കാകുന്നു ഇതൊക്കെ അറിഞ്ഞുകൂടാത്തത്?
But I have as much good sense as you do; I am (not less wise than/certainly as wise as [LIT]) you. Certainly everyone knows [RHQ] all that you have said.
4 ൪ ദൈവത്തെ വിളിച്ച് ഉത്തരം ലഭിച്ച ഞാൻ എന്റെ സഖിയ്ക്ക് പരിഹാസവിഷയമായിത്തീർന്നു; നീതിമാനും നിഷ്കളങ്കനുമായവൻ തന്നെ പരിഹാസവിഷയമായിത്തീർന്നു.
My friends all laugh at me now. Previously I habitually requested God to help me, and he answered/helped me. I am righteous, a very godly man [DOU], but everyone laughs at me.
Those [like you] who have no troubles make fun of me; they cause those [like me] who are already suffering to have more troubles.
6 ൬ പിടിച്ചുപറിക്കാരുടെ കൂടാരങ്ങൾ സമാധാനമായിരിക്കുന്നു; ദൈവത്തെ കോപിപ്പിക്കുന്നവർ നിർഭയമായ് വസിക്കുന്നു; അവരുടെ കയ്യിൽ ദൈവം എത്തിച്ചുകൊടുക്കുന്നു.
Bandits live peacefully, and no one threatens those who cause God to become angry; their own strength is the god [that they worship].
“But ask the wild animals [what they know about God], and [if they could speak] they would teach you. [If you could] ask the birds, they would tell you.
[If you could] ask the creatures [that crawl] on the ground, or the fish in the sea, they would tell you [about God].
All of them certainly know [RHQ] that it is Yahweh who has made them with his hands.
10 ൧൦ സകലജീവജന്തുക്കളുടെയും പ്രാണനും സകലമനുഷ്യവർഗ്ഗത്തിന്റെയും ശ്വാസവും ദൈവത്തിന്റെ കയ്യിൽ ഇരിക്കുന്നു.
He directs the lives of all living creatures; he gives breath to all [us] humans [to enable us to remain alive].
And when we [SYN] hear what other people [like you] say, we [RHQ] think carefully about what they say [to determine what is good and what is bad], like we [SYN] taste food [to determine what is good and what is bad].
Old people are [often] very wise, and because of having lived many years, they understand much,
but God is wise and very powerful; he has good sense and understands [everything].
If he tears [something] down, no one can rebuild it; if he puts someone in prison, no one can open [the prison doors to allow that person to escape].
15 ൧൫ അവിടുന്ന് വെള്ളം തടഞ്ഞുവച്ചാൽ അത് വറ്റിപ്പോകുന്നു; അവിടുന്ന് വിട്ടയച്ചാൽ അത് ഭൂമിയെ മറിച്ചുകളയുന്നു.
When he prevents rain from falling, everything dries up. When he causes a lot of rain to fall, [the result is that] there are floods.
He is the one who is truly strong and wise; he rules over those who deceive others and those whom they deceive.
He [sometimes] causes [the king’s] officials to no longer be wise, and he causes judges to become foolish.
He takes from kings the robes that they wear and puts loincloths around their waists, [causing them to become slaves].
He takes from priests the sacred clothes that they wear, [with the result that they no longer can do their work], and takes power from those who rule others.
He [sometimes] causes those whom others trust to be unable to speak, and he causes old men to no longer have good sense.
He causes those who have authority to be despised, and he causes those who are powerful to no longer have any power/strength.
22 ൨൨ യഹോവ അഗാധകാര്യങ്ങൾ അന്ധകാരത്തിൽനിന്ന് വെളിച്ചത്ത് കൊണ്ടുവരുന്നു; അന്ധതമസ്സിനെ പ്രകാശത്തിൽ വരുത്തുന്നു.
He causes things that are hidden in the darkness to be revealed.
23 ൨൩ യഹോവ ജനതകളെ വർദ്ധിപ്പിക്കുകയും നശിപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു; അവിടുന്ന് ജനതകളെ ചിതറിക്കുകയും കൂട്ടുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
He causes some nations to become very great, and [later] he destroys them; he causes the territory of some nations to become much larger, and [later] he causes them to be defeated and their people to be scattered.
24 ൨൪ യഹോവ ഭൂവാസികളിലെ തലവന്മാരിൽ നിന്ന് ധൈര്യം എടുത്തുകളയുന്നു; വഴിയില്ലാത്ത ശൂന്യപ്രദേശത്ത് അവരെ ഉഴന്നു നടക്കുമാറാക്കുന്നു;
He causes [some] rulers to become foolish/stupid, and then he causes them to wander around, lost, in an barren desert.
25 ൨൫ അവർ വെളിച്ചമില്ലാതെ ഇരുട്ടിൽ തപ്പിനടക്കുന്നു; യഹോവ മദ്യപന്മാരെപ്പോലെ അവരെ ചാഞ്ചാടുമാറാക്കുന്നു.
They grope around in the darkness, without any light, and he causes them to stagger like [SIM] people who are drunk.”
