ഇയ്യോബ് 20
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
I have heard the rebuke that reproaches me, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
Though his excellency shall mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds;
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they who have seen him shall say, Where is he?
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Though wickedness may be sweet in his mouth, though he may hide it under his tongue;
Though he may spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
Yet his food in his body is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15 ൧൫ അവൻ സമ്പത്ത് വിഴുങ്ങിയാലും അത് വീണ്ടും ഛർദ്ദിക്കേണ്ടിവരും; ദൈവം അത് അവന്റെ വയറ്റിൽനിന്ന് പുറത്താക്കിക്കളയും.
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
18 ൧൮ തന്റെ സമ്പാദ്യം അവൻ അനുഭവിക്കാതെ മടക്കിക്കൊടുക്കും; താൻ നേടിയ വസ്തുവകയ്ക്ക് ഒത്തവണ്ണം സന്തോഷിക്കുകയുമില്ല.
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice in it.
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he did not build;
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
21 ൨൧ അവൻ ഭക്ഷിക്കാനുള്ളതല്ലാതെ ഒന്നും ശേഷിപ്പിക്കുകയില്ല; അതുകൊണ്ട് അവന്റെ അഭിവൃദ്ധി നിലനില്‍ക്കുകയില്ല.
There shall none of his food be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
22 ൨൨ അവന്റെ സമൃദ്ധിയുടെ പൂർണ്ണതയിൽ അവന് ഞെരുക്കം ഉണ്ടാകും; ദരിദ്രന്മാരുടെ കൈ ഒക്കെയും അവന്റെമേൽ വരും.
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
23 ൨൩ അവൻ വയറ് നിറയ്ക്കുമ്പോൾത്തന്നെ ദൈവം തന്റെ ഉഗ്രകോപം അവന്റെമേൽ അയയ്ക്കും; അവൻ ഭക്ഷിക്കുമ്പോൾ അത് അവന്റെമേൽ വർഷിപ്പിക്കും.
When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
25 ൨൫ അവൻ അത് അവന്റെ ദേഹത്തിൽനിന്ന് പുറത്തേക്ക് വലിച്ചൂരുന്നു; മിന്നുന്ന മുന അവന്റെ പിത്തഗ്രന്ഥിയിൽനിന്ന് പുറപ്പെടുന്നു; കൊടും ഭീതി അവന്റെമേൽ ഇരിക്കുന്നു.
It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
26 ൨൬ അന്ധകാരമെല്ലാം അവന്റെ നിക്ഷേപമായി സംഗ്രഹിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; ആരും ഊതിക്കത്തിക്കാത്ത തീയ്ക്ക് അവൻ ഇരയാകും; അവന്റെ കൂടാരത്തിൽ ശേഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നതിനെ അത് ദഹിപ്പിക്കും;
All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tent.
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.
