ईयोब 28
Though there is, for silver, a vein, and a place for the gold they refine;
Iron, out of the ore, is taken, and, stone, poureth out copper;
3 ३ मनुष्य अंधाराचे निवारण करतो, अगदी खोलवर जाऊन, गडद अंधारातील व मृत्यूछायेतील पाषाणाचा तो शोध करीतो.
An end, hath one set to the darkness, and, into every extremity, is, he, making search, for the stone of darkness and death-shade;
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 hath sunken a shaft, away from the inhabitants; Places forsaken by the foot, they hang down, away from men, sway to and fro;
As for the earth, out of it, cometh forth bread, and, under it, is upturned, as it were fire;
The place of sapphires, are the stones thereof, and it hath, nuggets of gold: —
7 ७ पक्ष्यांना त्या वाटांविषयी काही माहिती नसते, कोणत्याही बहिरी ससाण्याच्या डोळ्यांनी त्या वाटा पाहिलेल्या नसतात.
A path, the vulture hath not discerned, nor hath the eye of the hawk scanned it;
Ravenous beasts have not made a track thereof, neither hath the lion marched thereon:
Upon the flint, hath he thrust forth his hand, He hath turned up mountains by the roots;
Among the rocks, hath he cut open streams, and, every precious thing, hath his eye seen:
11 ११ ते पाण्याचे प्रवाह बंद करतात म्हणजे त्यातून पाणि बाहेर पडत नाही, ते दडलेल्या वस्तू बाहेर प्रकाशात आणतात.
From trickling, he restraineth, rivers, and, some hidden thing, is he bringing out to light.
Yet where can, Wisdom, be found? And where is the place of understanding?
Mortal knoweth not the way thereof, neither can it be found in the land of the living;
14 १४ पृथ्वीवरील मोठे खोल जलाशय असे म्हणते, ‘माझ्यामध्ये ते नाही.’ सागर म्हणतो, ‘माझ्याजवळीही ते नाही.’
The resounding deep, hath said, It is not in me! And, the sea, hath said, It is not with me!
Pure gold cannot be given in its stead, neither can silver he weighed as the value thereof;
It cannot be put into the scales against the gold of Ophir, with costly onyx, or sapphire;
17 १७ शहाणपण सोन्यापेक्षा किंवा स्फटिकापेक्षा मौल्यवान असते, सोन्यात जडवलेले मौल्यवान खडेही शहाणपण विकत घेऊ शकत नाही.
Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can, the exchange thereof, be a vessel of pure gold,
Coral or crystal, cannot be mentioned, Yea, a possession, is wisdom, above red coral;
The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it, Against purest gold, can it not be weighed.
Whence then cometh, 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 hath been hid from the eyes of every living thing, and, from the bird of the heavens, hath it been concealed?
22 २२ मृत्यू आणि विनाश म्हणतात, ‘आम्हास शहाणपण सापडले नाही, आम्ही त्याबद्दलच्या फक्त अफवाच ऐकल्या आहेत.’
Destruction and death, have said, With our ears, have we heard the report thereof!
GOD, understandeth the way thereof, and, he, discerneth the place thereof;
For, he, unto the ends of the earth, directeth his look, under all the heavens, he seeth;
Making, for the wind, a weight, and, the waters, he proved by measure,
When he made, for the rain, a decree, and a way for the lightning of thunders,
27 २७ तेव्हा देवाला शहाणपण दिसले आणि त्याने त्याचा विचार केला, शहाणपणाचे मूल्य किती आहे ते त्याने पारखले आणि त्या शहाणपणाला संमती दिली.
Then, saw he it, and declared it, He settled it, yea also he 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 said to the son of earth, Lo! the reverence of the Lord, that, is wisdom, and, to avoid evil, is understanding.
