ယောဘ 29
And Job again took up his discourse, and said,
O that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me,
3 ၃ ထိုအခါ ဘုရားသခင်၏မီးခွက်သည် ငါ့ခေါင်းပေါ်မှာ ထွန်းလင်းသည်ဖြစ်၍၊ ထိုအလင်းကို ငါအမှီပြု လျက်၊ မိုက်သောအရပ်၌ ရှောက်သွားနိုင်၏။
when his lamp shone upon my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
4 ၄ ငါ့အသက်ပျိုသောကာလ၊ ငါ့အိမ်၌ဘုရားသခင် နှင့် မိဿဟာယဖွဲ့ရသောအခွင့်ရှိသောကာလ၌၊ ငါဖြစ် သကဲ့သို့ တဖန်ဖြစ်ပါစေ။
as I was in the ripeness of my days, when the friendship of God was upon my tent,
when the Almighty was yet with me, and my sons were about me,
when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil to me,
when I went forth to the gate to the city, when I prepared my seat in the street.
The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the aged rose up and stood.
The rulers refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
The voice of the ranking men was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me.
Because I delivered the poor who cried, also the fatherless who had none to help him.
The blessing of him who was ready to perish came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
I was eyes to the blind, and I was feet to the lame.
I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the case of him whom I did not know.
And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18 ၁၈ ငါသည် ကိုယ်အသိုက်၌ သေရသောအခွင့် ရှိလိမ့်မည်။ ငါ့အသက်ရှင်သော နေ့ရက်တို့သည် သဲလုံး နှင့်အမျှ များပြားလိမ့်မည်ဟု အောက်မေ့၏။
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
My root is spread out to the waters, and the dew lays all night upon my branch.
My glory is fresh in me, and my bow is renewed in my hand.
To me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
After my words they spoke not again, and my speech distilled upon them.
23 ၂၃ မိုဃ်းရေကိုငံ့လင့်သကဲ့သို့ငါ့ကိုငံ့လင့်လျက်၊ ဗနာက်ကျသော မိုဃ်းရေကို ခံချင်သကဲ့သို့၊ သူတို့သည် ပစပ်ကို ကျယ်ကျယ်ဖွင့်လျက်နေကြ၏။
And they waited for me as for the rain. And they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24 ၂၄ ငါသည် ပြုံးလျက်သူတို့ကို ကြည့်ရှုသောအခါ၊ သူတို့သည် မယုံနိုင်ကြ။ ငါ့မျက်နှာ၏အလင်းကိုလည်း မပျောက်စေကြ။
I smiled on them when they had no confidence, and they did not cast down the light of my countenance.
25 ၂၅ ငါသည် သူတို့လမ်းကိုပဲ့ပြင်၍ အမြတ်ဆုံးသော နေရာ၌ ထိုင်၏။ ဗိုလ်မြေအလုံးအရင်းနှင့်တကွ ရှင်ဘုရင် ကဲ့သို့၎င်း၊ ညှိုးငယ်သော သူတို့ကို နှစ်သိမ့်စေသော သူကဲ့သို့၎င်း ငါဖြစ်၏။
I chose out their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as a man who comforts the mourners.
