ईयोब 17
“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.
Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.
“Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?
For you have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.
5 ५ जो आपल्या मित्रांशी धोका करून त्यास लुटीप्रमाणे परक्यांच्या हाती देतो, त्याच्या मुलांचे डोळे जातील.
He who denounces his friends for plunder, even the eyes of his children will fail.
“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.
My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.
8 ८ यामुळे चांगले लोक फार व्यथित झाले आहेत. देवाची पर्वा न करणाऱ्या लोकांमुळे निष्पाप लोक व्यथित होतात.
Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.
9 ९ पण चांगली माणसे मात्र न्यायाने जीवन जगत राहतात. ज्याचे हात निर्मळ तो अधिकाधिक सामर्थ्यवान होत जाईल.
Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
10 १० पण तुम्ही सर्व एकत्र या आणि या सगळ्यात माझीच चूक आहे हे मला दाखवून द्या तुमच्यापैकी कोणीही विद्वान नाही.
But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man amongst you.
My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.
12 १२ माझे मित्र गोंधळून गेले आहेत. त्यांना रात्र दिवसासारखी वाटते. अंधकारापेक्षा प्रकाश जवळ आहे असे ते म्हणतात.
They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.
13 १३ थडगेच माझे नवीन घर असेल अशी मी आशा करतो. अंधाऱ्या थडग्यांत माझे अंथरुण घालण्याची इच्छा मी धरतो. (Sheol h7585)
If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness, (Sheol h7585)
if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?
