ईयोब 15
And Eliphaz the Temanite answers and says:
“Does a wise man answer [with] vain knowledge? And fill his belly [with] an east wind?
3 ३ तो ज्यात काही लाभ नाही अशा निरुपयोगी कारणास्तव बोलेल काय किंवा जे सांगण्यास योग्य नाही असा उपदेश करेल काय?
To reason with a word not useful? And speeches—no profit in them?
Indeed, you make reverence void, and diminish meditation before God.
For your mouth teaches your iniquity, And you choose the tongue of the cunning.
Your mouth declares you wicked, and not I, And your lips testify against you.
Are you the first man born? And were you formed before the heights?
Do you hear of the secret counsel of God? And withdraw wisdom to you?
What have you known, and we do not know? [What] do you understand, and it is not with us?
10 १० केस पांढरे झालेले लोक आणि वृध्द आमच्याशी सहमत आहेत. होय, तुझ्या वडिलांपेक्षा वृध्द असलेले लोक आमच्यात आहेत.
Both the gray-headed And the very aged [are] among us—Greater than your father [in] days.
Are the comforts of God too few for you? And a gentle word [is] with you,
Why does your heart take you away? And why are your eyes high?
Do you turn your spirit against God? And have brought out words from your mouth:
What [is] man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?
Behold, He puts no credence in His holy ones, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes.
Also—surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking perverseness as water.
I show you—listen to me—And this I have seen and declare,
18 १८ विद्वानांनी ज्या गोष्टी मला सांगितल्या, त्या मी तुला सांगतो. विद्वानाच्या पूर्वजांनी त्यांना या गोष्टी सांगितल्या. त्यांनी माझ्यापासून कुठलीही गुप्त गोष्ट लपवून ठेवली नाही.
Which the wise declare—And have not hid—from their fathers.
19 १९ ती भूमी त्याच्या पूर्वजांना दिलेली होती, ज्यात एकटेच राहत होते, आणि त्या मधून कोणी परदेशी कधीही जाऊ शकत नव्हते.
To them alone was the land given, And a stranger did not pass over into their midst:
20 २० दुष्ट मनुष्याचे सर्व दिवस वेदनात फिरवले जातात, जुलम्याचे जीवनाची वर्ष यातना भोगण्यासाठीच असतात.
All [the] days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one.
A fearful voice [is] in his ears, In peace a destroyer comes to him.
He does not believe to return from darkness, And he watches for the sword.
He is wandering for bread: Where [is] it? He has known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.
24 २४ संकटे आणि दु: ख त्यास भित्रा बनवतात, हाल करण्यासाठी तयार असलेल्या राजा प्रमाणे ते त्याच्या विरूद्ध यश पावतात.
Adversity and distress terrify him, They prevail over him as a king ready for a boaster.
25 २५ कारण त्याने देवाच्या विरूद्ध त्याचा हात उगारला आहे, आणि सर्वशक्तिमान देवाच्या विरूद्ध तो गर्वाने वागत आहे.
For he stretched out his hand against God, And against the Mighty he makes himself mighty.
He runs to Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.
For he has covered his face with his fat, And makes vigor over [his] confidence.
And he inhabits cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps.
He is not rich, nor does his wealth rise, Nor does he stretch out their continuance on earth.
30 ३० त्याची काळोखापासून सुटका नाही, आग्नीने त्याच्या फांद्या सुकतील, देवाच्या मुख श्वासाने तो दूर जाईल.
He does not turn aside from darkness, A flame dries up his tender branch, And he turns aside at the breath of His mouth!
31 ३१ निरुपयोगी गोष्टींवर त्याने विश्वास ठेवून स्वत: चीच फसवणूक करून घेऊ नये. निरउपयोगीता त्याचे बक्षीस होईल.
Do not let him put credence in vanity, He has been deceived, For vanity is his exchange.
32 ३२ आयुष्य संपण्याच्या आधीच दुष्ट मनुष्य म्हातारा आणि शुष्क झालेला असेल. तो पुन्हा कधीही हिरव्या न होणाऱ्या फांदीसारखा असेल.
It is not completed in his day, And his bending branch is not green.
33 ३३ न पिकलेले द्राक्ष जसे अकाली गळून पडतात त्या वेलीसारखा तो होईल, जैतून झाडाच्या फुला प्रमाणे त्याची फुले गळतील.
He shakes off his unripe fruit as a vine, And casts off his blossom as an olive.
For the company of the profane [is] barren, And fire has consumed tents of bribery.
To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart prepares deceit.”
