ईयोब 36
Elihu [finished by] saying this:
“[Job, ] be patient with me a little longer, because I have something else to teach you. I have something else to say that God [wants you to know].
I will tell you what I have learned from many sources, in order to show that God, my creator, is just/fair.
I am not saying anything to you that is false; I, who am standing in front of you, am someone who understands things (very well/perfectly) [HYP].
“Hey, God is [very] powerful, and he does not despise anyone, and he understands everything.
He does not allow wicked people to remain alive, and he always acts justly toward those who are poor.
7 ७ जे लोक योग्य रीतीने वागतात त्यांच्यावर देव नजर ठेवतो. तो चांगल्या लोकांस राज्य करु देतो. तो चांगल्यांना सदैव उंच करतो.
He always watches over [MTY] those who are righteous; he allows them to sit on thrones [and rule] with kings, and they are honored forever.
But if people [who commit crimes] are caught, they [are thrown into prison and] are caused to suffer by being fastened with chains.
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.
When that happens, God shows them what they have done; he shows them the sins that they have committed, and he shows them that they have been proud/arrogant.
He causes them to listen [MTY] to what he is warning them, and he commands them to turn away from [doing what is] evil.
If they (listen to/heed) him and serve him, [after they get out of prison] they will prosper for all the years that they are alive and be peaceful/happy.
But if they do not (listen/pay attention) to him, they will die violently, not knowing [why God is causing them to die].
13 १३ जे लोक देवाची पर्वा करीत नाहीत ते सदा कटू (रागावलेले) असतात. देवाने जरी त्यांना बांधले तरी ते देवाकडे मदत मागायला तयार नसतात.
“Godless/Wicked people continue being angry, and they do not cry out for help, [even] when God is punishing them.
They die while they are still young, disgraced because of their very immoral behavior [EUP].
But God teaches people by causing them to suffer; by afflicting them, he causes them to listen to [MTY] what he is telling them.
16 १६ खरोखर, त्यास तुला दुःखातून काढायला आवडते व अडचण नसलेल्या मोकळ्या जागी नेतो, आणि तुझ्या जेवणाच्या टेबलावर भरपूर पौष्टीक अन्न ठेवले असते.
“And Job, [I think that] God [wants to] bring you out of your troubles and allow you to live without distress; he wants your table to be full of very nice food.
But now, you are being punished [MTY] as wicked people are punished; [God] [PRS] has been punishing you (justly/as you deserve).
So be careful that you are not deceived by [desiring to acquire] money or that you are not ruined by [accepting] large bribes.
19 १९ आता तुझ्या सपंत्तीचा तुला काही नफा होईल काय, म्हणजे तू दुःखी होणार नाहीस किंवा तुझ्या सर्व सामर्थ्याचा तुला काही उपयोग होईल काय?
[If you are deceived by those things, ] it certainly will not [RHQ] help you to cry out when you are distressed; all of your strength will not help you.
20 २० दुसऱ्या विरूद्ध पाप करण्यास तू रात्र होण्याची इच्छा मनी बाळगू नकोस, लोक रात्री पसार होण्याची वेळ प्रयत्न करतात.
Do not wish that it would be nighttime [in order that God will not see you and punish you], because night is the time when [even] people-groups are destroyed!
21 २१ काळजीपूर्वक रहा पापाकडे वळू नकोस. कारण तुझी त्रासातून परीक्षा झाली आहे, म्हणून तू पापापासुन दूर रहा.
Be careful not to [begin doing] evil things, because [God] has caused you to suffer to prevent you from doing evil.
“Hey, God is extremely powerful; there is certainly [RHQ] no teacher who teaches like he does.
23 २३ त्याच्या मार्गाबद्दल त्यास कोण सुचीत करील? ‘देवा तू अयोग्य केलेस’ असे कोणी त्यास म्हणू शकत नाही.
No one has [RHQ] told him what he should do, and no one has [RHQ] said to him, ‘You have done what is wrong!’
People have [always] sung to praise him, so you also should never forget to praise him for what he has done.
25 २५ त्याने कार्य केले ते प्रत्येक मनुष्याला दिसते. दूरदूरच्या देशांतील लोकांसही देवाचे महान कार्य दिसतात.
Everyone has seen [what he has done], but [sometimes] we can see it only from far away.
26 २६ होय, देव महान आहे परंतु त्याची महानता आपल्याला कळत नाही. आम्ही त्याच्या वर्षाची संख्या पाहाणे अशक्य आहे.
“Hey, God is very great, and we are not able to know how great he is, and we do not know how old he is.
He draws water up [from the earth and puts it in clouds] and causes it to become rain.
The rain pours down from the sky/clouds; God causes abundant showers to fall on everyone.
No one can [RHQ] understand how the clouds move [across the sky] or how it thunders in the sky where God lives.
He causes lightning to flash all around him, but he causes the bottom of the oceans to remain dark.
By providing plenty of rain for us, he enables us to have abundant food.
[It is as though] he holds the lightning in his hands, and [then] he commands it to strike where he wants it to.
When we hear his thunder, we know that there will be a storm, and the cattle know it, too.”
