ईयोब 36
And Elihu continued:
“Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf.
I get my knowledge from afar, and I will ascribe justice to my Maker.
For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.
7 ७ जे लोक योग्य रीतीने वागतात त्यांच्यावर देव नजर ठेवतो. तो चांगल्या लोकांस राज्य करु देतो. तो चांगल्यांना सदैव उंच करतो.
He does not take His eyes off the righteous, but He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,
9 ९ आणि त्यांनी काय चूक केली ते देव त्यांना सांगेल. देव त्यांना सांगेल की त्यांनी पाप केले आहे. देव त्यांना ते गर्विष्ठ होते असे सांगेल.
then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.
If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.
But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
13 १३ जे लोक देवाची पर्वा करीत नाहीत ते सदा कटू (रागावलेले) असतात. देवाने जरी त्यांना बांधले तरी ते देवाकडे मदत मागायला तयार नसतात.
The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.
They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.
God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
16 १६ खरोखर, त्यास तुला दुःखातून काढायला आवडते व अडचण नसलेल्या मोकळ्या जागी नेतो, आणि तुझ्या जेवणाच्या टेबलावर भरपूर पौष्टीक अन्न ठेवले असते.
Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.
But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
19 १९ आता तुझ्या सपंत्तीचा तुला काही नफा होईल काय, म्हणजे तू दुःखी होणार नाहीस किंवा तुझ्या सर्व सामर्थ्याचा तुला काही उपयोग होईल काय?
Can your wealth or all your mighty effort keep you from distress?
20 २० दुसऱ्या विरूद्ध पाप करण्यास तू रात्र होण्याची इच्छा मनी बाळगू नकोस, लोक रात्री पसार होण्याची वेळ प्रयत्न करतात.
Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.
21 २१ काळजीपूर्वक रहा पापाकडे वळू नकोस. कारण तुझी त्रासातून परीक्षा झाली आहे, म्हणून तू पापापासुन दूर रहा.
Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?
23 २३ त्याच्या मार्गाबद्दल त्यास कोण सुचीत करील? ‘देवा तू अयोग्य केलेस’ असे कोणी त्यास म्हणू शकत नाही.
Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song.
25 २५ त्याने कार्य केले ते प्रत्येक मनुष्याला दिसते. दूरदूरच्या देशांतील लोकांसही देवाचे महान कार्य दिसतात.
All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar.
26 २६ होय, देव महान आहे परंतु त्याची महानता आपल्याला कळत नाही. आम्ही त्याच्या वर्षाची संख्या पाहाणे अशक्य आहे.
Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist,
which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.
Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?
See how He scatters His lightning around Him and covers the depths of the sea.
For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance.
He fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.
The thunder declares His presence; even the cattle regard the rising storm.
