ईयोब 38
Then Yahweh responded to Job, out of a storm, and said: —
Who is it that darkeneth counsel, by words, without knowledge?
Gird, I pray thee—like a strong man—thy loins, that I may ask thee, and inform thou me:
Where wast thou, when I founded the earth? Tell, if thou knowest understanding!
Who set the measurements thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched out over it a line?
Whereon were the pedestals thereof sunk? Or who laid the corner stone thereof; —
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Or [who] shut in, with double doors, the sea, when, bursting out of the womb, it came forth;
When I put a cloud as the garment thereof, and a thick cloud as the swaddling-band thereof;
And brake off for it my boundary, and fixed a bar and double doors;
And said—Hitherto, shalt thou come, and no further, —and, here, shalt thou set a limit to the majesty of thy waves?
Since thy days [began] hast thou commanded the morning? or caused the dawn to know its place;
13 १३ तू कधीतरी पहाटेच्या प्रकाशाला पृथ्वीला पकडून दुष्ट लोकांस त्यांच्या लपायच्या जागेतून हुसकायला सांगितलेस का?
That it might lay hold of the wings of the earth, and the lawless be shaken out of it?
14 १४ पहाटेच्या प्रकाशात डोंगरदऱ्या नीट दिसतात. दिवसाच्या प्रकाशात या जगाचा आकार अंगरख्याला असलेल्या घडीप्रमाणे ठळक दिसतात
It transformeth itself like the clay of a seal, so that things stand forth like one arrayed;
That their light may be withdrawn from the lawless, and, the lofty arm, be shivered.
16 १६ सागराला जिथे सुरुवात होते तिथे अगदी खोल जागेत तू कधी गेला आहेस का? समुद्राच्या तळात तू कधी चालला आहेस का?
Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? Or, through the secret recesses of the resounding deep, hast thou wandered?
Have the gates of death been disclosed to thee? And, the gates of the death-shade, couldst thou descry?
Hast thou well considered, even the breadths of the earth? Tell—if thou knowest it all!
Where then is the way, the light shall abide? And, the darkness, where then is its place?
20 २० तू प्रकाशाला आणि काळोखाला ते जिथून आले तेथे परत नेऊ शकशील का? तिथे कसे जायचे ते तुला माहीत आहे का?
That thou mayest conduct it unto the bound thereof, and that thou mayest perceive the paths to its house.
21 २१ तुला या सर्व गोष्टी नक्कीच माहीत असतील तू खूप वृध्द आणि विद्वान आहेस मी तेव्हा या गोष्टी निर्माण केल्या तेव्हा तू जिवंत होतास होय ना?
Thou knowest, for, then, hadst thou been born! And, in number, thy days are many!
Hast thou entered into the treasuries of the snow? And, the treasuries of the hail, couldst thou see?
Which I have reserved for a time of distress, for the day of conflict and of war?
24 २४ सूर्य उगवतो त्याठिकाणी तू कधी गेला आहेस का? पूर्वेकडचा वारा जिथून सर्व जगभर वाहातो तिथे तू कधी गेला आहेस का?
Where then is the way the lightning is parted? The east wind spreadeth itself abroad over the earth.
Who hath cloven—for the torrent—a channel? Or a way for the lightning of thunders;
To give rain over the no-man’s land, the desert, where no son of earth is;
To satisfy the wild and the wilderness, to cause to spring forth the meadow of young grass?
Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
Out of whose womb, came forth the ice? And, the hoar-frost of the heavens, who hath given it birth?
Like a stone, are the waters congealed, and, the face of the roaring deep, becometh firm!
Canst thou bind the fetters of the Pleiades? Or, the bands of Orion, canst thou unloose?
32 ३२ तुला राशीचक्र योग्यवेळी आकाशात आणता येईल का? किंवा तुला सप्तऋर्षो त्यांच्या समूहासह मार्ग दाखवता येईल का?
Canst thou bring forth the signs of the Zodiac each in its season? Or, the Bear and her Young, canst thou lead?
Knowest thou, the statutes of the heavens? Or didst thou appoint his dominion over the earth?
Canst thou lift up, to the thick cloud, thy voice, and the overflow of waters cover thee?
35 ३५ तुला विद्युतलतेला आज्ञा करता येईल का? ती तुझ्याकडे येऊन. आम्ही आलो आहोत काय आज्ञा आहे? असे म्हणेल का? तुझ्या सांगण्याप्रमाणे ती हवे तिथे जाईल का?
Canst thou send forth the lightnings, so that they go, and say to thee, Behold us?
Who hath put—into cloud-forms—wisdom? Or who hath given—to the meteor—understanding?
Who can count the thin clouds, in wisdom? And, the bottles of the heavens, who can empty out;
When the dust is cast into a clod, and the lumps are bound together?
Wilt thou hunt—for the Lioness—prey? Or, the craving of the Strong Lion, wilt thou satisfy;
When they settle down in dens, abide in covert, for lying in wait?
41 ४१ कावळ्याला कोण अन्न देतो? जेव्हा त्याची पिल्ले देवाकडे याचना करतात आणि अन्नासाठी चारी दिशा भटकतात तेव्हा त्यांना कोण अन्न पुरवतो?
Who prepareth for the Raven his nourishment, —when his young ones—unto GOD—cry out, [when] they wander for lack of food?
