Job 18

1 એટલે બિલ્દાદ શૂહીએ જવાબ આપ્યો કે,

2 “અયૂબ, તું ક્યાં સુધી આમ શબ્દોને પકડવા જાળ ફેલાવ્યા કરીશ? સમજદાર થા, પછી અમે તારી સાથે વાત કરીએ.

3 તમે અમને શા માટે ઢોર જેવા ગણો છો? અને શા માટે અમને મૂર્ખ માનો છો?

4 અયૂબ, તું જ તારા ક્રોધથી તારી જાતને દુ:ખ પહોંચાડી રહ્યો છે. શું તારા માટે લોકોએ પૃથ્વી છોડીને જવું? શું તમે વિચારો છો કે માત્ર તમારા સંતોષ માટે દેવ પર્વતોને હલાવશે?

5 હા, દુષ્ટ લોકોનું તેજ બહાર ચાલ્યંુ જશે. તેનો અગ્નિ બળતો બંધ થઇ જશે.

6 તેના પ્રકાશિત ઘરમાઁ અંધારૂ થશે. તેની પાસેનો દીવો હોલવાઇ જશે.

7 તેનાં મજબૂત પગલાં નબળાં પડી જશે. તેની અનિષ્ટ ઇચ્છાઓ તેને નીચે પાડશે.

8 તે ફાસલામાં ચાલે છે; તેના પગ એમાં ફસાઇ જાય છે.

9 ફાસલો તેના પગની પાની પકડી લે છે, એના પાશમાં તે જકડાઇ જાય છે.

10 જમીન પર જાળ સંતાઇને પડી હશેે, તેનાં માર્ગમાં એ પાથરેલી હશે.

11 એની ચારેકોર ભય તેની પર ત્રાટકવા ટાંપી રહ્યાં છે. દરેક પગલું તેની પાછળ તે ભરે છે.

12 ભૂખથી તેનું બળ ક્ષીણ થઇ જશે. વિનાશ તેને નીચો પાડવાં રાહ જોઇને ઊભા હોય છે.

13 ભયંકર બિમારીઓ તેની ચામડીને કોરી ખાશે. એના હાથ, પગ કોહવાઇ જશે.

14 એ જે ઘરમાં નિરાંતે જીવે છે એમાંથી એને બહાર ખેંચી કાઢવામાં આવે છે અને એને ભયના રાજાની હાજરીમાં લાવવામાં આવશે.

15 જેઓ તેનાં નથી તેઓ તેના ઘરમાં વસશે; એના ઘર પર ગંધક છાંટવામાં આવે શે.

16 તેની નીચેથી મૂળીયાં સડી જાય છે, તેની ઉપરની ડાળીઓ સુકાઇ જાય છે. તેથી તે મૃત્યુ પામશે.

17 આ દુનિયામાં તેનું નામનિશાન રહેશે નહિ. એને કોઇ પણ યાદ કરશે નહિ.

18 પ્રકાશમાંથી તેને અંધકારમાં ધકેલી દેવામાં આવશે અને જગતમાંથી તેને હાંકી કાઢવામાં આવશે.

19 તેને કોઇ સંતાન કે પૌત્ર, પૌત્રીઓ હશે નહિ. તેના કુટુંબમાંથી કોઇ જીવતું નહિ રહે.

20 પશ્ચિમના લોકો દિગમૂઢ થઇ જશે જ્યારે તેઓ સાંભળશે કે તે દુષ્ટ માણસને શું થયું. અને પૂર્વના લોકો ભયને કારણે તેમના વાળ ખેચી નાખશે.

21 દુષ્ટ લોકોના ઘરને ખરેખર આમ થશે, જેને દેવનું જ્ઞાન નથી તેની આવી જ દશા થશે.”

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Acts 7 in Tamil and English

1 तब महायाजक ने कहा, क्या ये बातें यों ही है?
Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

2 उस ने कहा; हे भाइयो, और पितरो सुनो, हमारा पिता इब्राहीम हारान में बसने से पहिले जब मिसुपुतामिया में था; तो तेजोमय परमेश्वर ने उसे दर्शन दिया।
And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

3 और उस से कहा कि तू अपने देश और अपने कुटुम्ब से निकलकर उस देश मे चला जा, जिसे मैं तुझे दिखाऊंगा।
And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

4 तब वह कसदियों के देश से निकलकर हारान में जा बसा; और उसके पिता की मृत्यु के बाद परमेश्वर ने उस को वहां से इस देश में लाकर बसाया जिस में अब तुम बसते हो।
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

5 और उस को कुछ मीरास वरन पैर रखने भर की भी उस में जगह न दी, परन्तु प्रतिज्ञा की कि मैं यह देश, तेरे और तेरे बाद तेरे वंश के हाथ कर दूंगा; यद्यपि उस समय उसके कोई पुत्र भी न था।
And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.

6 और परमेश्वर ने यों कहा; कि तेरी सन्तान के लोग पराये देश में परदेशी होंगे, और वे उन्हें दास बनाएंगे, और चार सौ वर्ष तक दुख देंगे।
And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.

7 फिर परमेश्वर ने कहा; जिस जाति के वे दास होंगे, उस को मैं दण्ड दूंगा; और इस के बाद वे निकल कर इसी जगह मेरी सेवा करेंगे।
And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

8 और उस ने उस से खतने की वाचा बान्धी; और इसी दशा में इसहाक उस से उत्पन्न हुआ; और आठवें दिन उसका खतना किया गया; और इसहाक से याकूब और याकूब से बारह कुलपति उत्पन्न हुए।
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

9 और कुलपतियों ने यूसुफ से डाह करके उसे मिसर देश जाने वालों के हाथ बेचा; परन्तु परमेश्वर उसके साथ था।
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

10 और उसे उसके सब क्लेशों से छुड़ाकर मिसर के राजा फिरौन के आगे अनुग्रह और बुद्धि दी, और उस ने उसे मिसर पर और अपने सारे घर पर हाकिम ठहराया।
And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

11 तब मिसर और कनान के सारे देश में अकाल पडा; जिस से भारी क्लेश हुआ, और हमारे बाप दादों को अन्न नहीं मिलता था।
Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

12 परन्तु याकूब ने यह सुनकर, कि मिसर में अनाज है, हमारे बाप दादों को पहिली बार भेजा।
But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

13 और दूसरी बार यूसुफ अपने भाइयों पर प्रगट को गया, और यूसुफ की जाति फिरौन को मालूम हो गई।
And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

14 तब यूसुफ ने अपने पिता याकूब और अपने सारे कुटुम्ब को, जो पछत्तर व्यक्ति थे, बुला भेजा।
Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

15 तब याकूब मिसर में गया; और वहां वह और हमारे बाप दादे मर गए।
So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

16 और वे शिकिम में पहुंचाए जाकर उस कब्र में रखे गए, जिसे इब्राहीम ने चान्दी देकर शिकिम में हमोर की सन्तान से मोल लिया था।
And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.

17 परन्तु जब उस प्रतिज्ञा के पूरे होने का समय निकट आया, तो परमेश्वर ने इब्राहीम से की थी, तो मिसर में वे लोग बढ़ गए; और बहुत हो गए।
But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

18 जब तक कि मिसर में दूसरा राजा न हुआ जो यूसुफ को नहीं जानता था।
Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

19 उस ने हमारी जाति से चतुराई करके हमारे बाप दादों के साथ यहां तक कुव्योहार किया, कि उन्हें अपने बालकों को फेंक देना पड़ा कि वे जीवित न रहें।
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.

20 उस समय मूसा उत्पन्न हुआ जो बहुत ही सुन्दर था; और वह तीन महीने तक अपने पिता के घर में पाला गया।
In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:

21 परन्तु जब फेंक दिया गया तो फिरौन की बेटी ने उसे उठा लिया, और अपना पुत्र करके पाला।
And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

22 और मूसा को मिसरियों की सारी विद्या पढ़ाई गई, और वह बातों और कामों में सामर्थी था।
And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

23 जब वह चालीस वर्ष का हुआ, तो उसके मन में आया कि मैं अपने इस्त्राएली भाइयों से भेंट करूं।
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

24 और उस ने एक व्यक्ति पर अन्याय होने देखकर, उसे बचाया, और मिसरी को मारकर सताए हुए का पलटा लिया।
And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

25 उस ने सोचा, कि मेरे भाई समझेंगे कि परमेश्वर मेरे हाथों से उन का उद्धार करेगा, परन्तु उन्होंने न समझा।
For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

26 दूसरे दिन जब वे आपस में लड़ रहे थे, तो वह वहां आ निकला; और यह कहके उन्हें मेल करने के लिये समझाया, कि हे पुरूषो, तुम तो भाई भाई हो, एक दूसरे पर क्यों अन्याय करते हो?
And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

27 परन्तु जो अपने पड़ोसी पर अन्याय कर रहा था, उस ने उसे यह कहकर हटा दिया, कि तुझे किस ने हम पर हाकिम और न्यायी ठहराया है?
But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

28 क्या जिस रीति से तू ने कल मिसरी को मार डाला मुझे भी मार डालना चाहता है?
Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?

29 यह बात सुनकर, मूसा भागा; और मिद्यान देश में परदेशी होकर रहने लगा: और वहां उसके दो पुत्र उत्पन्न हुए।
Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

30 जब पूरे चालीस वर्ष बीत गए, तो एक स्वर्ग दूत ने सीनै पहाड़ के जंगल में उसे जलती हुई झाड़ी की ज्वाला में दर्शन दिया।
And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.

31 मूसा ने उस दर्शन को देखकर अचम्भा किया, और जब देखने के लिये पास गया, तो प्रभु का यह शब्द हुआ।
When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,

32 कि मैं तेरे बाप दादों, इब्राहीम, इसहाक और याकूब का परमेश्वर हूं: तब तो मूसा कांप उठा, यहां तक कि उसे देखने का हियाव न रहा।
Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

33 तब प्रभु ने उस से कहा; अपने पावों से जूती उतार ले, क्योंकि जिस जगह तू खड़ा है, वह पवित्र भूमि है।
Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

34 मैं ने सचमुच अपने लोगों की र्दुदशा को जो मिसर में है, देखी है; और उन की आह और उन का रोना सुन लिया है; इसलिये उन्हें छुड़ाने के लिये उतरा हूं। अब आ, मैं तुझे मिसर में भेंजूंगा।
I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

35 जिस मूसा को उन्होंने यह कहकर नकारा था कि तुझे किस ने हम पर हाकिम और न्यायी ठहराया है; उसी को परमेश्वर ने हाकिम और छुड़ाने वाला ठहरा कर, उस स्वर्ग दूत के द्वारा जिस ने उसे झाड़ी में दर्शन दिया था, भेजा।
This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

36 यही व्यक्ति मिसर और लाल समुद्र और जंगल में चालीस वर्ष तक अद्भुत काम और चिन्ह दिखा दिखाकर उन्हें निकाल लाया।
He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

37 यह वही मूसा है, जिस ने इस्त्राएलियों से कहा; कि परमेश्वर तुम्हारे भाइयों में से तुम्हारे लिये मुझ सा एक भविष्यद्वक्ता उठाएगा।
This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

38 यह वही है, जिस ने जंगल में कलीसिया के बीच उस स्वर्गदूत के साथ सीनै पहाड़ पर उस से बातें की, और हमारे बाप दादों के साथ था: उसी को जीवित वचन मिले, कि हम तक पहुंचाए।
This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

39 परन्तु हमारे बाप दादों ने उस की मानना न चाहा; वरन उसे हटाकर अपने मन मिसर की ओर फेरे।
To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

40 और हारून से कहा; हमारे लिये ऐसा देवता बना, जो हमारे आगे आगे चलें; क्योंकि यह मूसा जा हमें मिसर देश से निकाल लाया, हम नहीं जानते उसे क्या हुआ?
Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

41 उन दिनों में उन्होंने एक बछड़ा बनाकर, उस की मूरत के आगे बलि चढ़ाया; और अपने हाथों के कामों में मगन होने लगे।
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

42 सो परमेश्वर ने मुंह मोड़कर उन्हें छोड़ दिया, कि आकशगण पूजें; जैसा भविष्यद्वक्ताओं की पुस्तक में लिखा है; कि हे इस्त्राएल के घराने, क्या तुम जंगल में चालीस वर्ष तक पशुबलि और अन्नबलि मुझ ही को चढ़ाते रहे?
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

43 और तुम मोलेक के तम्बू और रिफान देवता के तारे को लिए फिरते थे; अर्थात उन आकारों को जिन्हें तुम ने दण्डवत करने के लिये बनाया था: सो मैं तुम्हें बाबुल के परे ले जाकर बसाऊंगा।
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

44 साक्षी का तम्बू जंगल में हमारे बाप दादों के बीच में था; जैसा उस ने ठहराया, जिस ने मूसा से कहा; कि जो आकर तू ने देखा है, उसके अनुसार इसे बना।
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.

45 उसी तम्बू को हमारे बाप दादे पूर्वकाल से पाकर यहोशू के साथ यहां ले आए; जिस समय कि उन्होंने उन अन्यजातियों का अधिकार पाया, जिन्हें परमेश्वर ने हमारे बाप दादों के साम्हने से निकाल दिया; और वह दाऊद के समय तक रहा।
Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

46 उस पर परमेश्वर ने अनुग्रह किया, सो उस ने बिनती की, कि मैं याकूब के परमेश्वर के लिये निवास स्थान ठहराऊं।
Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

47 परन्तु सुलैमान ने उसके लिये घर बनाया।
But Solomon built him an house.

48 परन्तु परमप्रधान हाथ के बनाए घरों में नहीं रहता, जैसा कि भविष्यद्वक्ता ने कहा।
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

49 कि प्रभु कहता है, स्वर्ग मेरा सिहांसन और पृथ्वी मेरे पांवों तले की पीढ़ी है, मेरे लिये तुम किस प्रकार का घर बनाओगे और मेरे विश्राम का कौन सा स्थान होगा
Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

50 क्या ये सब वस्तुएं मेरे हाथ की बनाईं नहीं? हे हठीले, और मन और कान के खतनारिहत लोगो, तुम सदा पवित्र आत्मा का साम्हना करते हो।
Hath not my hand made all these things?

51 जैसा तुम्हारे बाप दादे करते थे, वैसे ही तुम भी करते हो।
Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

52 भविष्यद्वक्ताओं में से किस को तुम्हारे बाप दादों ने नहीं सताया, और उन्होंने उस धर्मी के आगमन का पूर्वकाल से सन्देश देने वालों को मार डाला, और अब तुम भी उसके पकड़वाने वाले और मार डालने वाले हुए।
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

53 तुम ने स्वर्गदूतों के द्वारा ठहराई हुई व्यवस्था तो पाई, परन्तु उसका पालन नहीं किया॥
Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

54 ये बातें सुनकर वे जल गए और उस पर दांत पीसने लगे।
When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

55 परन्तु उस ने पवित्र आत्मा से परिपूर्ण होकर स्वर्ग की ओर देखा और परमेश्वर की महिमा को और यीशु को परमेश्वर की दाहिनी ओर खड़ा देखकर।
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

56 कहा; देखों, मैं स्वर्ग को खुला हुआ, और मनुष्य के पुत्र को परमेश्वर के दाहिनी ओर खड़ा हुआ देखता हूं।
And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

57 तब उन्होंने बड़े शब्द से चिल्लाकर कान बन्द कर लिए, और एक चित्त होकर उस पर झपटे।
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

58 और उसे नगर के बाहर निकालकर पत्थरवाह करने लगे, और गवाहों ने अपने कपड़े उतार रखे।
And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.

59 और वे स्तिुफनुस को पत्थरवाह करते रहे, और वह यह कहकर प्रार्थना करता रहा; कि हे प्रभु यीशु, मेरी आत्मा को ग्रहण कर।
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

60 फिर घुटने टेककर ऊंचे शब्द से पुकारा, हे प्रभु, यह पाप उन पर मत लगा, और यह कहकर सो गया: और शाऊल उसके बध में सहमत था॥
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
