யோபு 4
Then Eliphaz, from Teman, replied to Job. He said,
“Will you please let me say something to you? I am not [RHQ] able to remain silent [any longer].
In the past, you have instructed/taught many people, and you have encouraged those who were weak.
By what you said, you have helped those who (needed spiritual help/almost quit trusting in God) [MET], and you have enabled them to become spiritually strong again [MET].
5 ௫ இப்பொழுதோ துன்பம் உமக்கு சம்பவித்ததினால் சோர்ந்துபோகிறீர்; அது உம்மைத் தொட்டதினால் கலங்குகிறீர்.
But now, when you experience disasters, you become discouraged. The disasters hit you, and you are stunned.
6 ௬ உம்முடைய தேவபக்தி உம்முடைய உறுதியாயும், உம்முடைய வழிகளின் உத்தமம் உம்முடைய நம்பிக்கையாகவும் இருக்கவேண்டியதல்லவோ?
You revere God; (does that not cause you to trust [in him]?/that should cause you to trust [in him].) [RHQ] If you were guiltless, you would [RHQ] be confident that [God] would not [have allowed] these disasters [to] happen to you!
Think about this: Do innocent people die [while they are still young] [RHQ]? Does God get rid of godly people [RHQ]? [No!]
What I have experienced is this: [Just as] [MET] farmers who plant bad [seeds] do not harvest good [crops], [just as those who start] trouble for others, later bring trouble on themselves.
They die when God angrily blows his breath on them, when he is very angry with them.
10 ௧0 சிங்கத்தின் கெர்ச்சிப்பும், கொடிய சிங்கத்தின் முழக்கமும் அடங்கும்; பாலசிங்கங்களின் பற்களும் உடைந்துபோகும்.
[Even though wicked people may be very powerful like] young lions, [God] will get rid of them [MET].
[They will die like] fierce lions [that] starve to death when there are no animals that they can kill and eat, and [their children will be separated from each other like] young lions separate from each other [to find food].”
12 ௧௨ இப்போதும் ஒரு வார்த்தை என்னிடத்தில் இரகசியமாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டது, அதன் மெல்லிய ஓசை என் காதில் விழுந்தது.
“I heard a message that someone came and whispered to me.
He spoke to me at night when I was having a bad dream that disturbed/frightened me while I was fast asleep.
It caused me to be afraid and tremble; it caused all my bones to shake.
A ghost glided past my face and caused the hair on [on the back of] my neck to stand straight up.
16 ௧௬ அது ஒரு உருவம் போல என் கண்களுக்குமுன் நின்றது, ஆனாலும் அதின் உருவம் இன்னதென்று விளங்கவில்லை; அமைதலுண்டானது, அப்பொழுது நான் கேட்ட சத்தமாவது:
It stopped, but I could not see what form it had. But [I could sense that] there was some being in front of me, and it said in a quiet voice,
‘(Does God consider anyone to be righteous?/No human beings can be righteous in God’s sight!) [RHQ] (Their creator cannot consider them to be pure./Can their creator consider them to be pure?) [RHQ]
18 ௧௮ கேளும், அவர் தம்முடைய வேலைக்காரரிடத்தில் நம்பிக்கை வைப்பதில்லை; தம்முடைய தூதரின்மேலும் புத்தியீனத்தைச் சுமத்துகிறாரே,
God cannot be sure that his own angels [will always do what is right]; he declares that some of them have done what is wrong.
19 ௧௯ புழுதியில் அஸ்திபாரம் போட்டு, மண் வீடுகளில் குடியிருந்து, செல்லுப்பூச்சியால் அரிக்கப்படுகிறவர்கள்மேல் அவர் நம்பிக்கை வைப்பது எப்படி?
So he certainly cannot trust human beings who were made from dust and clay, who are crushed as easily as moths are crushed!
People are sometimes well in the morning, but in the evening they are dead. They are gone forever and do not even know it (OR, and no one pays any attention to it).
They are like [MET] tents that collapse [suddenly]: They die [suddenly] before they become wise.’”
