యోబు~ గ్రంథము 13
See, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.
What you know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior to you.
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
But you are forgers of lies, you are all physicians of no value.
O that you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
Will you speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
Will you accept his person? will you contend for God?
9 ౯ ఒకవేళ ఆయన మిమ్మల్ని పరిశోధిస్తే అది మీకు క్షేమకరమా? ఒకడు ఇతరులను మోసం చేసినట్టు మీరు ఆయనను మోసం చేస్తారా?
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocks another, do you so mock him?
He will surely reprove you, if you do secretly accept persons.
Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall on you?
Your remembrances are like to ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
15 ౧౫ వినండి, ఆయన నన్ను చంపినా నేను ఆయన కోసం ఆశతో ఎదురుచూస్తున్నాను. ఆయన సమక్షంలో నా న్యాయ ప్రవర్తనను రుజువు పరుచుకుంటాను.
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways before him.
He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19 ౧౯ నాతో వాదం పెట్టుకుని గెలవ గలిగేవాడు ఎవరు? ఎవరైనా ఎదుటికి వస్తే నేను నోరు మూసుకుని ప్రాణం విడిచిపెడతాను.
Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
Only do not two things to me: then will I not hide myself from you.
Withdraw your hand far from me: and let not your dread make me afraid.
Then call you, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer you me.
How many are my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
Why hide you your face, and hold me for your enemy?
Will you break a leaf driven to and fro? and will you pursue the dry stubble?
26 ౨౬ నువ్వు నాకు కఠినమైన శిక్ష విధించావు. నేను చిన్నతనంలో చేసిన పాపాలకు ప్రతిఫలం అనుభవించేలా చేశావు.
For you write bitter things against me, and make me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
27 ౨౭ నా కాళ్ళకు బొండ వేసి బిగించావు. నా నడవడి అంతా నువ్వు కనిపెడుతున్నావు. నా అడుగులకు నువ్వే గిరి గీశావు.
You put my feet also in the stocks, and look narrowly to all my paths; you set a print on the heels of my feet.
28 ౨౮ కుళ్ళిపోయిన శవంలాగా ఉన్నవాడి చుట్టూ, చిమ్మటలు తినివేసిన గుడ్డపేలికలాంటివాడి చుట్టూ గిరి గీసి కాపు కాస్తున్నావు.
And he, as a rotten thing, consumes, as a garment that is moth eaten.
