ईयोब 28
Truly there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is washed out.
Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone is changed into brass by the fire.
3 ३ मनुष्य अंधाराचे निवारण करतो, अगदी खोलवर जाऊन, गडद अंधारातील व मृत्यूछायेतील पाषाणाचा तो शोध करीतो.
Man puts an end to the dark, searching out to the farthest limit the stones of the deep places of the dark.
4 ४ लोकांच्या राहण्याच्या जागेपासून तो दूर खाण खणतो, जिथे आजपर्यंत कोणाचेही पाऊल गेले नसेल तिथे तो जातो, तो दोरीला लोंबकळतो इतरांपेक्षा खूप खोल जातो.
He makes a deep mine far away from those living in the light of day; when they go about on the earth, they have no knowledge of those who are under them, who are hanging far from men, twisting from side to side on a cord.
As for the earth, bread comes out of it; but under its face it is turned up as if by fire.
Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.
7 ७ पक्ष्यांना त्या वाटांविषयी काही माहिती नसते, कोणत्याही बहिरी ससाण्याच्या डोळ्यांनी त्या वाटा पाहिलेल्या नसतात.
No bird has knowledge of it, and the hawk's eye has never seen it.
The great beasts have not gone over it, and the cruel lion has not taken that way.
Man puts out his hand on the hard rock, overturning mountains by the roots.
He makes deep ways, cut through the rock, and his eye sees everything of value.
11 ११ ते पाण्याचे प्रवाह बंद करतात म्हणजे त्यातून पाणि बाहेर पडत नाही, ते दडलेल्या वस्तू बाहेर प्रकाशात आणतात.
He keeps back the streams from flowing, and makes the secret things come out into the light.
But where may wisdom be seen? and where is the resting-place of knowledge?
Man has not seen the way to it, and it is not in the land of the living.
14 १४ पृथ्वीवरील मोठे खोल जलाशय असे म्हणते, ‘माझ्यामध्ये ते नाही.’ सागर म्हणतो, ‘माझ्याजवळीही ते नाही.’
The deep waters say, It is not in me: and the sea says, It is not with me.
Gold may not be given for it, or a weight of silver in payment for it.
It may not be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the onyx of great price, or the sapphire.
17 १७ शहाणपण सोन्यापेक्षा किंवा स्फटिकापेक्षा मौल्यवान असते, सोन्यात जडवलेले मौल्यवान खडेही शहाणपण विकत घेऊ शकत नाही.
Gold and glass are not equal to it in price, and it may not be exchanged for jewels of the best gold.
There is no need to say anything about coral or crystal; and the value of wisdom is greater than that of pearls.
The topaz of Ethiopia is not equal to it, and it may not be valued with the best gold.
From where then does wisdom come, and where is the resting-place of knowledge?
21 २१ पृथ्वीवरील सर्व जिवंत प्राण्यापासून शहाणपण लपवून ठेवले आहे, आकाशातले पक्षीसुध्दा ते बघू शकत नाहीत.
For it is kept secret from the eyes of all living, unseen by the birds of the air.
22 २२ मृत्यू आणि विनाश म्हणतात, ‘आम्हास शहाणपण सापडले नाही, आम्ही त्याबद्दलच्या फक्त अफवाच ऐकल्या आहेत.’
Destruction and Death say, We have only had word of it with our ears.
God has knowledge of the way to it, and of its resting-place;
For his eyes go to the ends of the earth, and he sees everything under heaven.
When he made a weight for the wind, measuring out the waters;
When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the thunder-flames;
27 २७ तेव्हा देवाला शहाणपण दिसले आणि त्याने त्याचा विचार केला, शहाणपणाचे मूल्य किती आहे ते त्याने पारखले आणि त्या शहाणपणाला संमती दिली.
Then he saw it, and put it on record; he gave it its fixed form, searching it out completely.
28 २८ आणि देव लोकांस म्हणाला, परमेश्वराची भीती बाळगा व त्यास मान द्या हेच शहाणपण आहे, वाईट गोष्टी करु नका तोच समजूतदारपणा आहे.”
And he said to man, Truly the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to keep from evil is the way to knowledge.
