ଆୟୁବ 15
1 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ତୈମନୀୟ ଇଲୀଫସ୍ ଉତ୍ତର କରି କହିଲା,
Then Eliphaz replied to Job:
2 “ଜ୍ଞାନୀ ଲୋକ କʼଣ ଅସାର ଜ୍ଞାନରେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେବ? ଓ ପୂର୍ବୀୟ ବାୟୁରେ ଆପଣା ଉଦର ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରିବ?
“If you were truly wise [RHQ], you would not have replied to us by claiming that you know a lot; what you are saying is just a lot of hot air [MET].
3 ସେ କʼଣ ଅନର୍ଥକ କଥାରେ ଓ ନିଷ୍ଫଳ ବାକ୍ୟରେ ଯୁକ୍ତି କରିବ?
You should not [RHQ] be saying things that do not benefit anyone, using words that do no one any good.
4 ହଁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତ ଭୟ ଦୂର କରି ଦେଉଅଛ ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ସାକ୍ଷାତରେ ଭକ୍ତି କ୍ଷୀଣ କରୁଅଛ।
[By what you say, ] you show that you do not revere God, and you are hindering people from meditating/thinking about God.
5 କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅପରାଧ ତୁମ୍ଭ ମୁଖକୁ ଶିଖାଉଅଛି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଧୂର୍ତ୍ତର ଜିହ୍ୱା ପସନ୍ଦ କରୁଅଛ।
[It is as though] your sins are telling you what to say; you talk like people who will not admit that they are wicked.
6 ତୁମ୍ଭର ନିଜ ମୁଖ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦୋଷୀ କରୁଅଛି, ମୁଁ କରୁ ନାହିଁ; ଆହୁରି, ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିଜ ଓଷ୍ଠାଧର ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ଦେଉଅଛି।
Everything that you say [MTY] shows that you should be punished; so, it is not necessary for me to show that.
7 ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କʼଣ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ? ଅବା ପର୍ବତଗଣ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କʼଣ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ହୋଇଥିଲ?
[“Tell me do you know more than everyone else because you think that] you are the first person who was ever born? [SAR, RHQ] Were you born before the hills [were created]?
8 ତୁମ୍ଭେ କʼଣ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କର ଗୁପ୍ତ ମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଶୁଣିଅଛ? ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କʼଣ ଜ୍ଞାନ ଆତ୍ମସାତ୍ କରୁଅଛ?
Were you listening when God made all his plans? [SAR, RHQ] Or do you think that you are the only person who is wise?
9 ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅଜଣା କେଉଁ କଥା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁଅଛ? ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଅବୁଝା କେଉଁ କଥା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବୁଝୁଅଛ?
(What do you know that we do not know?/You do not know anything that we do not know.) [RHQ] You do not understand [RHQ] anything that is not also clear to us.
10 ପକ୍ୱକେଶ ବିଶିଷ୍ଟ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପିତା ଅପେକ୍ଷା ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ଅତି ବୃଦ୍ଧ ଲୋକେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଅଛନ୍ତି।
My friends and I are also wise; we acquired [wisdom] from old gray-haired people, from people who were born before your father was born.
11 ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ସାନ୍ତ୍ୱନା-ବାକ୍ୟ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରତି କି କ୍ଷୁଦ୍ର ବିଷୟ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ କୋମଳ ଆଳାପ କି ତଦ୍ରୂପ?
God wants to comfort you, and to speak gently/kindly to you; (is that not enough for you/do you need more than that)?
12 ତୁମ୍ଭ ମନ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କାହିଁକି ବିପଥରେ ନେଇଯାଏ? ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଚକ୍ଷୁ କାହିଁକି ମଟ୍ମଟ୍ କରେ
Why do you allow yourself to be (carried away/excited) by your emotions? Why are [you very angry, with the result that] your eyes flash?
13 ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଆପଣା ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ଉଠାଉଅଛ ଓ ଆପଣା ମୁଖରୁ ଏପରି କଥା ବାହାରିବାକୁ ଦେଉଅଛ?
You are angry [IDM] with God, and so you [MTY] are criticizing/denouncing him.
14 ମନୁଷ୍ୟ କିଏ ଯେ, ସେ ଶୁଚି ହୋଇପାରେ? ଓ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଜାତ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ କିଏ ଯେ, ସେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ହୋଇପାରେ?
“(How can any person, [including you, ] be sinless?/No person, [including you], can be sinless.) [RHQ] (How can anyone on the earth be [completely] righteous?/No one on the earth can be [completely] righteous.) [RHQ]
15 ଦେଖ, ସେ ଆପଣା ପବିତ୍ରଗଣଠାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ; ଆହୁରି, ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିରେ ଆକାଶମଣ୍ଡଳ ନିର୍ମଳ ନୁହେଁ।
Hey, God does not even trust his angels; he does not consider even them to be [completely] pure.
16 ତେବେ ଘୃଣାର୍ହ ଓ ଭ୍ରଷ୍ଟ, ଅଧର୍ମକୁ ଜଳ ପରି ପାନକାରୀ ଯେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ, ସେ କେଡ଼େ ନ୍ୟୂନ!
So, he certainly does not [trust] abominable/disgusting and depraved/corrupt people who do evil things [as easily] as they drink water [MET].
17 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଖାଇବି, ମୋʼ କଥା ଶୁଣ; ମୁଁ ଯାହା ଦେଖିଅଛି, ତାହା ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବି;
Job, listen to what I will tell you. I will declare to you what I know,
18 ଜ୍ଞାନୀମାନେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ପିତୃଲୋକଙ୍କଠାରୁ ତାହା ପାଇ କହିଅଛନ୍ତି ଓ ଗୁପ୍ତ କରି ନାହାନ୍ତି;
things that wise men have told me, truths that their ancestors did not keep hidden.
19 କେବଳ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଶ ଦତ୍ତ ହୋଇଥିଲା ଓ କୌଣସି ବିଦେଶୀ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଗତାୟାତ କଲା ନାହିଁ;
God gave this land to those ancestors, who were truly wise; no one from another country caused them to think wrongly [IDM].
20 ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକ ଆପଣାର ଯାବଜ୍ଜୀବନ, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍, ଉପଦ୍ରବ ପାଇଁ ନିରୂପିତ ବର୍ଷ ଯାଏ କ୍ଳେଶ ଭୋଗ କରେ।
It is wicked people who suffer with great pain all the time that they are alive; that is what happens to those who (oppress/act violently toward) others.
21 ତାହାର କର୍ଣ୍ଣରେ ତ୍ରାସଜନକ ଶବ୍ଦ ଥାଏ, ସୌଭାଗ୍ୟ ସମୟରେ ଲୁଣ୍ଠନକାରୀ ତାହାକୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରିବ;
They constantly hear sounds that terrify them; while they are prospering, bandits attack them.
22 ସେ ଅନ୍ଧକାରରୁ ଫେରି ଆସିବ ବୋଲି ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରେ ନାହିଁ ଓ ସେ ଖଡ୍ଗ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଅପେକ୍ଷିତ;
Wicked people surely know that they will not escape from darkness/death, because [they are sure that someone] is waiting to kill them with a sword.
23 ସେ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ନିମନ୍ତେ ବାହାରେ ବୁଲି କହଇ, ତାହା କାହିଁ? ଅନ୍ଧକାରର ଦିନ ତାହାର ସନ୍ନିକଟ ବୋଲି ସେ ଜାଣେ।
They wander around, searching for food, saying ‘Where can I find some?’ And they know that they will soon experience disasters.
24 ସଙ୍କଟ ଓ ମନସ୍ତାପ ତାହାକୁ ଭୀତ କରେ; ଯୁଦ୍ଧାର୍ଥେ ସସଜ୍ଜ ରାଜା ତୁଲ୍ୟ ତାହା ତାହାକୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରେ;
Because they are afraid of those things happening to them, they are afraid and worry that these things will come to them like [the army of] a king comes to attack [their enemies and cause them to suffer] [SIM].
25 କାରଣ ସେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଆପଣା ହସ୍ତ ବିସ୍ତାର କରିଅଛି ଓ ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତିକୂଳରେ ଗର୍ବାଚରଣ କରୁଅଛି;
[Those things happen to them] because they (shook their fists/dared to fight) against Almighty God, and thought that they were strong enough to defeat him.
26 ସେ ଶକ୍ତଗ୍ରୀବ ହୋଇ ଆପଣା ଢାଲର ସ୍ଥୂଳ ଅଂଶ ଦେଖାଇ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଉପରକୁ ଦୌଡ଼େ;
They stubbornly [IDM] rush to attack God [as though they were carrying] a strong shield [to protect themselves].
27 ସେ ଆପଣା ମେଦରେ ଆପଣା ମୁଖ ଆଚ୍ଛାଦନ କଲା ଓ କଟିଦେଶ ହୃଷ୍ଟପୁଷ୍ଟ କଲା;
They are so fat [that they are unable to fight].
28 ଆଉ, ସେ ଉଜାଡ଼-ନଗରରେ ନିବାସୀରହିତ ଓ ଢିପି ହେବାକୁ ଉଦ୍ୟତ ଗୃହରେ ବାସ କଲା।
They will live in cities that have been abandoned, cities which have become a heap of ruins.
29 ଏଣୁ ସେ ଧନବାନ ହେବ ନାହିଁ, ଅବା ତାହାର ସମ୍ପତ୍ତି ସ୍ଥାୟୀ ହେବ ନାହିଁ; କିଅବା ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ଫଳ ଭୂମିକୁ ଓହଳିବ ନାହିଁ।
But they will not remain rich very long; Everything that they own will be taken from them; their possessions will all disappear.
30 ସେ ଅନ୍ଧକାରରୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ଥାନ କରିବ ନାହିଁ, ଅଗ୍ନିଶିଖା ତାହାର ଶାଖା ଶୁଷ୍କ କରିବ ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ମୁଖର ନିଶ୍ୱାସରେ ସେ ଉଡ଼ିଯିବ।
They will not escape from the darkness [of death]; they will be like trees whose branches are burned by fire and whose blossoms are blown away by the wind.
31 ସେ ଆପଣାକୁ ଭ୍ରାନ୍ତ କରି ଅସାରତାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ନ କରୁ; କାରଣ ଅସାରତା ହିଁ ତାହାର ପୁରସ୍କାର ହେବ।
Since they are very foolish, with the result that they trust in things that are really worthless, then things that are worthless will be all that they get.
32 ତାହା ଆପଣା ସମୟ ପୂର୍ବେ ଶେଷ ପାଇବ ଓ ତାହାର ଶାଖା ସତେଜ ହେବ ନାହିଁ।
Before they are old, they will wither; they will be like [MET] branches that wither and never become green again.
33 ସେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାଲତା ନ୍ୟାୟ ଆପଣା ଅପକ୍ୱ ଫଳ ଝାଡ଼ି ପକାଇବ ଓ ଜୀତବୃକ୍ଷ ନ୍ୟାୟ ଆପଣା ଫୁଲ ପକାଇ ଦେବ।
They will be like [SIM] vines whose grapes fall off before they are ripe, like olive trees whose blossoms fall off before they produce any fruit.
34 କାରଣ ଅଧାର୍ମିକମାନଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗୀଦଳ ଅଫଳ ହେବେ ଓ ଅଗ୍ନି ଲାଞ୍ଚର ତମ୍ବୁସବୁ ଗ୍ରାସ କରିବ।
Wicked/godless people will not have any descendants, and fires will completely burn up the homes of [those who built those homes using] money they received from bribes.
35 ସେମାନେ ଅନିଷ୍ଟ ଗର୍ଭଧାରଣ କରି ଅଧର୍ମ ପ୍ରସବ କରନ୍ତି ଓ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଉଦର ପ୍ରତାରଣା ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରେ।”
They plan to cause trouble and to do evil things, and they are always preparing to deceive people.”
