ईयोब 15
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
Should a wise man answer with arguments of wind, Or fill his bosom with the east wind?
3 ३ तो ज्यात काही लाभ नाही अशा निरुपयोगी कारणास्तव बोलेल काय किंवा जे सांगण्यास योग्य नाही असा उपदेश करेल काय?
Should he argue with speech that helpeth him not, And with words which do not profit him?
Behold, thou makest the fear of God a vain thing, And discouragest prayer before him.
Yea, thy own mouth proclaimeth thy iniquity, Though thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; Thy own lips testify against thee.
Art thou the first man that was born? Wast thou formed before the hills?
Hast thou listened in the council of God, And drawn all wisdom to thyself?
What dost thou know, that we know not also? What dost thou understand, that is a secret to us?
10 १० केस पांढरे झालेले लोक आणि वृध्द आमच्याशी सहमत आहेत. होय, तुझ्या वडिलांपेक्षा वृध्द असलेले लोक आमच्यात आहेत.
With us are the aged and hoary-headed; Much older than thy father.
Dost thou despise the consolations of God, And words so full of kindness to thee?
Why hath thy passion taken possession of thee? And why this winking of thine eyes?
For against God hast thou turned thy spirit, And uttered such words from thy mouth.
What is man, that he should be pure, And he that is born of woman, that he should be innocent?
Behold, He putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And the heavens are not pure in his sight;
Much less, abominable and polluted man, Who drinketh iniquity as water.
Hear me, and I will show thee, And that which I have seen will I 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 men have told, And not kept concealed, as received 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 whom alone the land was given, And among whom not a stranger wandered.
20 २० दुष्ट मनुष्याचे सर्व दिवस वेदनात फिरवले जातात, जुलम्याचे जीवनाची वर्ष यातना भोगण्यासाठीच असतात.
“All his days the wicked man is in pain; Yea, all the years, that are laid up for the oppressor.
A fearful sound is in his ears; In peace the destroyer cometh upon him.
He hath no hope that he shall escape from darkness; He is set apart for the sword.
He wandereth about, seeking bread; He knoweth that a day of darkness is at hand.
24 २४ संकटे आणि दु: ख त्यास भित्रा बनवतात, हाल करण्यासाठी तयार असलेल्या राजा प्रमाणे ते त्याच्या विरूद्ध यश पावतात.
Distress and anguish fill him with dread; They prevail against him like a king ready for the battle.
25 २५ कारण त्याने देवाच्या विरूद्ध त्याचा हात उगारला आहे, आणि सर्वशक्तिमान देवाच्या विरूद्ध तो गर्वाने वागत आहे.
Because he stretched forth his hand against God, And bade defiance to the Almighty,
And ran against him with outstretched neck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers;
Because he covered his face with fatness, And gathered fat upon his loins,
And dwelt in desolated cities, In houses which no man inhabiteth, That are ready to become heaps.
He shall not be rich; his substance shall not endure, And his possessions shall not be extended upon the earth.
30 ३० त्याची काळोखापासून सुटका नाही, आग्नीने त्याच्या फांद्या सुकतील, देवाच्या मुख श्वासाने तो दूर जाईल.
He shall not escape from darkness, And the flame shall dry up his branches; Yea, by the breath of His mouth shall he be taken away.
31 ३१ निरुपयोगी गोष्टींवर त्याने विश्वास ठेवून स्वत: चीच फसवणूक करून घेऊ नये. निरउपयोगीता त्याचे बक्षीस होईल.
“Let not man trust in vanity! he will be deceived; For vanity shall be his recompense.
32 ३२ आयुष्य संपण्याच्या आधीच दुष्ट मनुष्य म्हातारा आणि शुष्क झालेला असेल. तो पुन्हा कधीही हिरव्या न होणाऱ्या फांदीसारखा असेल.
He shall come to his end before his time, And his branch shall not be green.
33 ३३ न पिकलेले द्राक्ष जसे अकाली गळून पडतात त्या वेलीसारखा तो होईल, जैतून झाडाच्या फुला प्रमाणे त्याची फुले गळतील.
He shall shake off his unripe fruit like the vine, And shed his blossoms like the olive-tree.
The house of the unrighteous shall be famished, And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
They conceive mischief, and bring forth misery, And their breast deviseth deceit.”
