ယောဘ 29
Job again took up his parable, and said,
“Oh 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 on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
4 ၄ ငါ့အသက်ပျိုသောကာလ၊ ငါ့အိမ်၌ဘုရားသခင် နှင့် မိဿဟာယဖွဲ့ရသောအခွင့်ရှိသောကာလ၌၊ ငါဖြစ် သကဲ့သို့ တဖန်ဖြစ်ပါစေ။
as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in my tent,
when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.
The young men saw me and hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.
The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
The voice of the nobles 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 commended me,
because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on 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 feet to the lame.
I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.
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 will die in my own house, I will count my days as the sand.
My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.
My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.’
“Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.
23 ၂၃ မိုဃ်းရေကိုငံ့လင့်သကဲ့သို့ငါ့ကိုငံ့လင့်လျက်၊ ဗနာက်ကျသော မိုဃ်းရေကို ခံချင်သကဲ့သို့၊ သူတို့သည် ပစပ်ကို ကျယ်ကျယ်ဖွင့်လျက်နေကြ၏။
They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
24 ၂၄ ငါသည် ပြုံးလျက်သူတို့ကို ကြည့်ရှုသောအခါ၊ သူတို့သည် မယုံနိုင်ကြ။ ငါ့မျက်နှာ၏အလင်းကိုလည်း မပျောက်စေကြ။
I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.
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. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.
