ഇയ്യോബ് 20
Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,
"Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.
I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
Do you not know this from old time, since humankind was placed on earth,
that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
yet he shall perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?'
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found. Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.
The eye which saw him shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more see him.
His children shall seek the favor of the poor. His hands shall give back his wealth.
His bones are full of his youth, but youth shall lie down with him in the dust.
"Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,
though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;
yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.
15 ൧൫ അവൻ സമ്പത്ത് വിഴുങ്ങിയാലും അത് വീണ്ടും ഛർദ്ദിക്കേണ്ടിവരും; ദൈവം അത് അവന്റെ വയറ്റിൽനിന്ന് പുറത്താക്കിക്കളയും.
He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.
He shall suck cobra venom. The viper's tongue shall kill him.
He shall not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
18 ൧൮ തന്റെ സമ്പാദ്യം അവൻ അനുഭവിക്കാതെ മടക്കിക്കൊടുക്കും; താൻ നേടിയ വസ്തുവകയ്ക്ക് ഒത്തവണ്ണം സന്തോഷിക്കുകയുമില്ല.
That for which he labored he shall restore, and shall not swallow it down. According to the substance that he has gotten, he shall not rejoice.
For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
"Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save anything of that in which he delights.
21 ൨൧ അവൻ ഭക്ഷിക്കാനുള്ളതല്ലാതെ ഒന്നും ശേഷിപ്പിക്കുകയില്ല; അതുകൊണ്ട് അവന്റെ അഭിവൃദ്ധി നിലനില്ക്കുകയില്ല.
There was nothing left that he did not devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
22 ൨൨ അവന്റെ സമൃദ്ധിയുടെ പൂർണ്ണതയിൽ അവന് ഞെരുക്കം ഉണ്ടാകും; ദരിദ്രന്മാരുടെ കൈ ഒക്കെയും അവന്റെമേൽ വരും.
In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress shall overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come on him.
23 ൨൩ അവൻ വയറ് നിറയ്ക്കുമ്പോൾത്തന്നെ ദൈവം തന്റെ ഉഗ്രകോപം അവന്റെമേൽ അയയ്ക്കും; അവൻ ഭക്ഷിക്കുമ്പോൾ അത് അവന്റെമേൽ വർഷിപ്പിക്കും.
When he is about to fill his belly, he will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
He shall flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow shall strike him through.
25 ൨൫ അവൻ അത് അവന്റെ ദേഹത്തിൽനിന്ന് പുറത്തേക്ക് വലിച്ചൂരുന്നു; മിന്നുന്ന മുന അവന്റെ പിത്തഗ്രന്ഥിയിൽനിന്ന് പുറപ്പെടുന്നു; കൊടും ഭീതി അവന്റെമേൽ ഇരിക്കുന്നു.
He draws it forth, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.
26 ൨൬ അന്ധകാരമെല്ലാം അവന്റെ നിക്ഷേപമായി സംഗ്രഹിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; ആരും ഊതിക്കത്തിക്കാത്ത തീയ്ക്ക് അവൻ ഇരയാകും; അവന്റെ കൂടാരത്തിൽ ശേഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നതിനെ അത് ദഹിപ്പിക്കും;
All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire shall devour him. It shall consume that which is left in his tent.
The heavens shall reveal his iniquity. The earth shall rise up against him.
The increase of his house shall depart. They shall rush away in the day of his wrath.
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God."
