ईयोब 31
“I solemnly promised myself that I would not look at a young woman with a desire [to have sex with her].
[If I did not do what I promised, ] what would God who is in heaven [MTY] do to me [RHQ]? Almighty [God] would certainly not [RHQ] give me any reward!
[Previously I thought that] surely [RHQ] it was unrighteous people who would experience calamities, and that it was those who do what is wrong who would experience disasters.
God certainly sees [RHQ] everything that I do, [so why is he causing me to suffer?] [It is as though] he counts every step that I take.
[“I solemnly declare that] I have never acted wickedly and have never tried to deceive people.
I request only that God judge me fairly [MET], and if he does that, he will know that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong).
7 ७ मी जर योग्य मार्गापासून दूर गेलो असेन, जर माझे मन माझ्या डोळ्यामागे जात असेल, जर माझ्या हातांस अशुद्धतेचा दाग चिकटला असेल.
If [it were true that] I have stopped living righteously, or [that] I [SYN] have desired the things that I look at [MTY], or [that] I am guilty of any other sin,
then I hope/wish that when I plant [seeds], someone else will [harvest the crops and] eat [them] and that others will uproot the [fruit trees] that I planted.
9 ९ जर माझे मन दुसऱ्या स्त्रीकडे आकर्षित झाले असेल, जर मी आपल्या शेजाऱ्याच्या दाराकडे त्याच्या पत्नीची वाट बघत थांबलो असेल.
“If [it were true that] I [SYN] have been attracted by some other man’s wife, or [that] I have hidden myself and waited outside [the] door [to] her [house],
I hope/desire that my wife will become the servant/slave of another man and have sex [EUP] with him.
[For me to do] that would be a terrible sin, and the judges would decide that I should be punished.
My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned)
13 १३ माझ्या स्त्री व पुरूष चाकरांनी माझ्या विरुध्द वादविवाद केला असेल, तेव्हा मी न्यायाने वागण्याचे मान्य केले नाही,
“And, if [it were true that] I have ever refused to listen to one of my male or female servants when they complained to me about something,
14 १४ तर मी जेव्हा देवासमोर जाईन तेव्हा मी काय करु? देवाने माझ्या वागण्याचा जाब विचारला तर मी काय उत्तर देऊ?
God would arise [and declare that he would punish me]; and when he would do that, what would I do? If he would ask me [about what I have done], (what would I answer?/I would not be able to answer.) [RHQ]
15 १५ ज्याने मला गर्भात निर्माण केले त्यानेच त्यांना घडवले नाही का? त्यानेच आपल्या सर्वांची गर्भात निर्मिती केली नाही का?
God, who created me, certainly also created my servants [RHQ]; surely he is the one who formed them and me in our mothers’ wombs [RHQ]; [so we all should behave toward each other equally].
16 १६ मी गरीबांना त्यांच्या ईच्छेपासून रोखले असेल. किंवा मी जर विधवांना रडवण्यास त्यांचे डोळे शिणवले असेल.
“I have guided orphans from the time that they were born; I have taken care of them since they were young. So, if [it were true that] I ate all my food myself and did not share some of it with orphans, or [that] I refused to give poor people the things that they wanted, or [that] I caused widows to live (in despair/without hope [that they would receive any help from anyone]),
18 १८ (त्याऐवजी माझ्या तारूण्यापासून माझ्याबरोबर पोरके बापाकडे जसे मुले वाढतात तसे वाढले आहेत) आणि मी विधवांची काळजी लहाणपणापासुन वाहीली आहे.
or [that] I had seen people die [from cold] because they had no clothes, or [that] I had seen poor people who did not have clothes [to keep them warm],
20 २० त्यांनी मला अंत: करणापासून कधी आशीर्वाद दिले नाही कारण त्यांना मी माझ्या मेंढ्यांची लोकर त्यांना उबदार ठेवण्यासाठी वापरली नाही.
and they were not able to become warm [from clothes made] from the wool of my sheep with the result that they thanked me for [giving them clothes, ]
or if [it were true that] I threatened to strike any orphan because I knew that the elders at the city gates would (decide in my favor);
22 २२ मी जर कधी असे केले तर माझा हात माझ्या खांद्यांपासून निखळून जावो आणि माझा हात माझ्या खांद्याच्या सांध्यातून तुटून पडो.
[if those things were true about me], I hope/desire that my shoulder blade would be torn out and my arm be torn from my shoulder.
I always feared that God would cause me to experience a great disaster [if I did any of those evil things], and I would not have been able to endure the powerful [things that he would do to punish me].
“If [it were true that] I trusted in my gold/money [DOU],
or that I rejoiced because I had acquired many things and had become very rich,
or that I looked at the sun when it was shining or looked at the beautiful moon
and I [SYN] had been tempted [to worship them] by kissing my hand to revere them,
28 २८ ते सुध्दा शिक्षा करण्यासारखेच पाप आहे. कारण ते सर्वशक्तिमान देवाचा विश्वासघात केल्यासारखे झाले असते.
those things also would be sins for which the judges would say that I must be punished, because I would have been rejecting God [by doing those things].
29 २९ माझ्या शत्रूंचा पाडाव झाल्याचा मला कधीच आनंद वाटला नाही. किंवा माझ्या शत्रूंवर संकट कोसळल्यामुळे मी त्यांना कधी हसलो नाही.
“[It is not true that] I [SYN] sinned by requesting God to curse people who hated me with the result that God would cause them to die. It is also not true that I was glad when they were ruined or that I rejoiced when they experienced disasters [DOU].
30 ३० (खरोखर, माझ्या शत्रूंना शाप देऊन आणि त्यांच्या मरणाची इच्छा करून मी माझ्या तोंडाला कधी पाप करायला लावले नाही.)
[It is also not true that] I never welcomed travelers to stay in my tent or that I did not open my doors to them, but [forced them to] sleep in the streets. [All] the men who work for me certainly know that [RHQ]!
32 ३२ परदेशी लोकांस रात्रीच्या वेळी शहरातील चौकात झोपायला लागू नये म्हणून मी त्यांना माझ्या घरी बोलावतो.
33 ३३ इतर लोक त्यांचे पाप लपविण्याचा प्रयत्न करतात परंतु मी माझा अपराध लपविण्याचा कधीच प्रयत्न केला नाही.
Some people try to hide their sins, but I have never done that;
34 ३४ कारण मला लोकांची भीती आहे, मला परिवाराच्या तिरस्काराची भीती वाटते. म्हणून मी शांत आहे आणि घराबाहेर जात नाही.
and I never remained silent and refused to go outside of my home because I was very (afraid of/worried about) what people would say [about me], and that they would hate/scorn me.
35 ३५ अहो, माझे कुणीतरी ऐकावे असे मला वाटते. पाहा, मला माझी बाजू मांडू द्या, सर्वशक्तिमान देवाने मला उत्तर द्यावे अशी माझी इच्छा आहे. त्याच्या दृष्टीने मी काय चूक केली ती त्याने लिहून काढावी असे मला वाटते.
“I wish/desire that there was someone who would hear what I am saying! I solemnly declare [that all that I have said is true]. I wish that those who oppose me would write down [on a scroll] the evil things that they say that I did.
[If they did that, ] I would wear that scroll on my shoulder, or wear it on top of my head, [in order that everyone could see it].
37 ३७ त्याने जर असे केले तर मी जे काही केले त्याचे स्पष्टीकरण देऊ शकेन. एखाद्या पुढाऱ्याप्रमाणे माझे मस्तक उंच करून मी त्याकडे येऊ शकेन.
I would tell [God] everything that I have done, and I would approach him [confidently], like a ruler would.
38 ३८ मी दुसऱ्याकडून त्याची जमीन हिसकावून घेतली नाही. माझी जमीन चोरुन घेतली आहे असा आरोप माझ्यावर कोणीही करु शकणार नाही.
If [it were true that] I have stolen land, with the result that [it was as though] its furrows cried out to accuse me of stealing;
or [if it were true that] I have eaten the crops that grew in someone else’s fields without paying [for those crops], with the result that those farmers who grew those crops died [from hunger];
then I wish/desire that thorns would grow [in my fields] instead of wheat. May bad weeds grow instead of barley!” That is the end of what Job said [to his three friends].
