ईयोब 36
Elihu also proceeded, and said:
Bear with me a little while, that I may show thee! For I have yet words in behalf of God.
I will bring my knowledge from afar, And assert the justice of my Maker.
Truly my words shall not be false: A man of sound knowledge is before thee.
Behold, God is great, but despiseth not any; Great is he in strength of understanding.
He suffereth not the wicked to prosper, But rendereth justice to the oppressed.
7 ७ जे लोक योग्य रीतीने वागतात त्यांच्यावर देव नजर ठेवतो. तो चांगल्या लोकांस राज्य करु देतो. तो चांगल्यांना सदैव उंच करतो.
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous; But establisheth them for ever with kings on the throne, That they may be exalted.
And if they be bound in fetters, And holden in the 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 showeth he them their deeds, And how they have set him at defiance by their transgressions;
He also openeth their ears to admonition, And commandeth them to return from iniquity.
If they obey and serve him, They spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
But if they obey not, they perish by the sword; They die in their own folly.
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 corrupt in heart treasure up wrath; They cry not to God, when he bindeth them.
They die in their youth; They close their lives with the unclean.
But he delivereth the poor in their distress; He openeth their ears in affliction.
16 १६ खरोखर, त्यास तुला दुःखातून काढायला आवडते व अडचण नसलेल्या मोकळ्या जागी नेतो, आणि तुझ्या जेवणाच्या टेबलावर भरपूर पौष्टीक अन्न ठेवले असते.
He will bring thee also from the jaws of distress To a broad place, where is no straitness; And the provision of thy table shall be full of fatness.
But if thou art full of the judgment of the wicked, Judgment and justice shall take hold of thee.
For if wrath be with him, beware lest he take thee away by his stroke, So that a great ransom shall not save thee!
19 १९ आता तुझ्या सपंत्तीचा तुला काही नफा होईल काय, म्हणजे तू दुःखी होणार नाहीस किंवा तुझ्या सर्व सामर्थ्याचा तुला काही उपयोग होईल काय?
Will he esteem thy riches? No! neither thy gold, nor all the abundance of thy wealth.
20 २० दुसऱ्या विरूद्ध पाप करण्यास तू रात्र होण्याची इच्छा मनी बाळगू नकोस, लोक रात्री पसार होण्याची वेळ प्रयत्न करतात.
Long not thou for that night To which nations are taken away from their place.
21 २१ काळजीपूर्वक रहा पापाकडे वळू नकोस. कारण तुझी त्रासातून परीक्षा झाली आहे, म्हणून तू पापापासुन दूर रहा.
Take heed, turn not thine eyes to iniquity! For this hast thou chosen rather than 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 hath prescribed to him his way? Or who can say to him, “Thou hast done wrong”?
Forget not to magnify his work, Which men celebrate with songs.
25 २५ त्याने कार्य केले ते प्रत्येक मनुष्याला दिसते. दूरदूरच्या देशांतील लोकांसही देवाचे महान कार्य दिसतात.
All mankind gaze upon it; Mortals behold it from afar.
26 २६ होय, देव महान आहे परंतु त्याची महानता आपल्याला कळत नाही. आम्ही त्याच्या वर्षाची संख्या पाहाणे अशक्य आहे.
Behold, God is great; we cannot know him, Nor search out the number of his years.
Lo! he draweth up the drops of water, Which distil rain from his vapor;
The clouds pour it down, And drop it upon man in abundance.
Who can understand the spreading of his clouds, And the rattling of his pavilion?
Behold, he spreadeth around himself his light, And he clotheth himself with the depths of the sea.
By these he punisheth nations, And by these he giveth food in abundance.
His hands he covereth with lightning; He giveth it commandment against an enemy.
His thunder maketh him known; Yea, to the herds, as he ascendeth on high.
