ईयोब 28
For there is a place for the silver, whence it comes, and a place for the gold, whence it is refined.
For iron comes out of the earth, and brass is hewn out like stone.
3 ३ मनुष्य अंधाराचे निवारण करतो, अगदी खोलवर जाऊन, गडद अंधारातील व मृत्यूछायेतील पाषाणाचा तो शोध करीतो.
He has set a bound to darkness, and he searches out every limit: a stone [is] darkness, and the shadow of death.
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.
There is a cutting off the torrent by reason of dust: so they that forget the right way are weakened; they are removed from [amongst] men.
[As for] the earth, out of it shall come bread: under it has been turned up as it were fire.
Her stones are the place of the sapphire: and [her] dust [supplies] man with gold.
7 ७ पक्ष्यांना त्या वाटांविषयी काही माहिती नसते, कोणत्याही बहिरी ससाण्याच्या डोळ्यांनी त्या वाटा पाहिलेल्या नसतात.
[There is] a path, the fowl has not known it, neither has the eye of the vulture seen it:
neither have the sons of the proud trodden it, a lion has not passed upon it.
He has stretched forth his hand on the sharp [rock], and turned up mountains by the roots:
and he has interrupted the whirlpools of rivers, and mine eye has seen every precious thing.
11 ११ ते पाण्याचे प्रवाह बंद करतात म्हणजे त्यातून पाणि बाहेर पडत नाही, ते दडलेल्या वस्तू बाहेर प्रकाशात आणतात.
And he has laid bare the depths of rivers, and has brought his power to light.
But whence has wisdom been discovered? and what is the place of knowledge?
A mortal has not known its way, neither indeed has it been discovered amongst men.
14 १४ पृथ्वीवरील मोठे खोल जलाशय असे म्हणते, ‘माझ्यामध्ये ते नाही.’ सागर म्हणतो, ‘माझ्याजवळीही ते नाही.’
The depth said, It is not in me: and the sea said, It is not with me.
One shall not give fine gold instead of it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it.
Neither shall it be compared with gold of Sophir, with the precious onyx and sapphire.
17 १७ शहाणपण सोन्यापेक्षा किंवा स्फटिकापेक्षा मौल्यवान असते, सोन्यात जडवलेले मौल्यवान खडेही शहाणपण विकत घेऊ शकत नाही.
Gold and crystal shall not be equalled to it, neither shall vessels of gold be its exchange.
Coral and fine pearl shall not be mentioned: but do you esteem wisdom above the most precious things.
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equalled to it; it shall not be compared with pure gold.
Whence then is wisdom found? and of what kind is the place of understanding?
21 २१ पृथ्वीवरील सर्व जिवंत प्राण्यापासून शहाणपण लपवून ठेवले आहे, आकाशातले पक्षीसुध्दा ते बघू शकत नाहीत.
It has escaped the notice of every man, and has been hidden from the birds of the sky.
22 २२ मृत्यू आणि विनाश म्हणतात, ‘आम्हास शहाणपण सापडले नाही, आम्ही त्याबद्दलच्या फक्त अफवाच ऐकल्या आहेत.’
Destruction and Death said, We have heard the report of it.
God has well ordered the way of it, and he knows the place of it.
For he surveys the whole [earth] under heaven, knowing the things in the earth:
all that he has made; the weight of the winds, the measures of the water.
When he made [them], thus he saw and numbered them, and made a way for the pealing of the thunder.
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 declared it: he prepared it [and] traced it out.
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, Behold, godliness is wisdom: and to abstain from evil is understanding.
