ईयोब 23
Then Job answered by saying:
Now again my conversation is in bitterness, and the force of my scourging weighs more heavily on me because of my mourning.
Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and that I may approach even to his throne?
I would place judgment before his eye, and my mouth would fill with criticism,
5 ५ त्याने माझ्या युक्तिवादाला कसे प्रत्युतर दिले असते ते मला कळले असते. तो मला काय म्हणाला ते मी लक्षात घेतले असते.
so that I may know the words that he will answer me and understand what he will say to me.
6 ६ त्याच्या महान सामर्थ्याने त्याने माझ्याविरुध्द वाद केला असता का? नाही; तर त्याने माझ्याकडे लक्ष दिले असते.
I do not want him to contend with me with much strength, nor to overwhelm me with the bulk of his greatness.
Let him show fairness in response to me, and let my judgment reach to victory.
If I go to the east, he does not appear; if I go to the west, I will not understand him.
9 ९ उत्तरेकडे तो कार्य करीत असला, तरी मला तो दिसू शकत नाही. आणि दक्षिणेकडेही, जेथे तो स्वतःस लपवितो त्यामुळे तेथेही तो मला दिसत नाही.
If I turn to the left, what can I do? I will not take hold of him. If I turn myself to the right, I will not see him.
Truly, he knows my way and has tested me like gold that passes through fire.
My feet have been following his footsteps; I have kept to his way and have not strayed from it.
12 १२ मी त्याच्या ओठांच्या आज्ञेचे पालन करण्यापासुन मागे वळालो नाही, मी संपत्ती प्रमाणे माझ्या हृदयात देवाच्या मुखातून बाहेर पडणारे शब्द ठेवले आहेत.
I have not withdrawn from the commands of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hidden in my sinews.
For he is alone, and no one is able to disturb his intention; and whatever his spirit wills, that he accomplishes.
And when he fulfills his will in me, many other similar ones will also be present with him.
15 १५ यास्तव, मी त्याच्या उपस्थीतीला घाबरतो, जेव्हा मी त्याच्याबद्दल विचार करतो, मला त्याची भीती वाटते.
And, for this reason, I have been troubled at his presence, and, when I consider him, I am approached by fear.
God has weakened my heart, and the Almighty has confused me.
Yet I have not perished because of the threatening darkness, nor has gloom covered my face.
