ईयोब 28
Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3 ३ मनुष्य अंधाराचे निवारण करतो, अगदी खोलवर जाऊन, गडद अंधारातील व मृत्यूछायेतील पाषाणाचा तो शोध करीतो.
He sets an end to darkness, and searches out all perfection: the stones of 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.
The flood breaks out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
As for the earth, out of it comes bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
The stones of it 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.
There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture's eye has not seen:
The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
He puts forth his hand upon the rock; he overturns the mountains by the roots.
He cuts out rivers among the rocks; and his eye sees every precious thing.
11 ११ ते पाण्याचे प्रवाह बंद करतात म्हणजे त्यातून पाणि बाहेर पडत नाही, ते दडलेल्या वस्तू बाहेर प्रकाशात आणतात.
He binds the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid brings he forth to light.
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
Man knows not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14 १४ पृथ्वीवरील मोठे खोल जलाशय असे म्हणते, ‘माझ्यामध्ये ते नाही.’ सागर म्हणतो, ‘माझ्याजवळीही ते नाही.’
The depth says, It is not in me: and the sea says, It is not with me.
It cannot be got for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 १७ शहाणपण सोन्यापेक्षा किंवा स्फटिकापेक्षा मौल्यवान असते, सोन्यात जडवलेले मौल्यवान खडेही शहाणपण विकत घेऊ शकत नाही.
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
Whence then comes wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21 २१ पृथ्वीवरील सर्व जिवंत प्राण्यापासून शहाणपण लपवून ठेवले आहे, आकाशातले पक्षीसुध्दा ते बघू शकत नाहीत.
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls 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 heard the fame thereof with our ears.
God understands the way thereof, and he knows the place thereof.
For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole heaven;
To make the weight for the winds; and he weights the waters by measure.
When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning 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 did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched 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 unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
