Job 20
1 तब नामाती सोपर ने कहा,
2 मेरा जी चाहता है कि उत्तर दूं, और इसलिये बोलने में फुतीं करता हूँ।
3 मैं ने ऐसी चितौनी सुनी जिस से मेरी निन्दा हुई, और मेरी आत्मा अपनी समझ के अनुसार तुझे उत्तर देती है।
4 क्या तू यह नियम नहीं जानता जो प्राचीन और उस समय का है, जब मनुष्य पृथ्वी पर बसाया गया,
5 कि दुष्टों का ताली बजाना जल्दी बन्द हो जाता और भक्तिहीनों का आनन्द पल भर का होता है?
6 चाहे ऐसे मनुष्य का माहात्म्य आकाश तक पहुंच जाए, और उसका सिर बादलों तक पहुंचे,
7 तौभी वह अपनी विष्ठा की नाईं सदा के लिये नाश हो जाएगा; और जो उसको देखते थे वे पूछेंगे कि वह कहां रहा?
8 वह स्वप्न की नाईं लोप हो जाएगा और किसी को फिर न मिलेगा; रात में देखे हुए रूप की नाईं वह रहने न पाएगा।
9 जिसने उसको देखा हो फिर उसे न देखेगा, और अपने स्थान पर उसका कुछ पता न रहेगा।
10 उसके लड़के-बाले कंगालों से भी बिनती करेंगे, और वह अपना छीना हुआ माल फेर देगा।
11 उसकी हड्डियों में जवानी का बल भरा हुआ है परन्तु वह उसी के साथ मिट्टी में मिल जाएगा।
12 चाहे बुराई उसको मीठी लगे, और वह उसे अपनी जीभ के नीचे छिपा रखे,
13 और वह उसे बचा रखे और न छोड़े, वरन उसे अपने तालू के बीच दबा रखे,
14 तौभी उसका भोजन उसके पेट में पलटेगा, वह उसके अन्दर नाग का सा विष बन जाएगा।
15 उसने जो धन निगल लिया है उसे वह फिर उगल देगा; ईश्वर उसे उसके पेट में से निकाल देगा।
16 वह नागों का विष चूस लेगा, वह करैत के डसने से मर जाएगा।
17 वह नदियों अर्थात मधु और दही की नदियों को देखने न पाएगा।
18 जिसके लिये उसने परिश्रम किया, उसको उसे लौटा देना पड़ेगा, और वह उसे निगलने न पाएगा; उसकी मोल ली हुई वस्तुओं से जितना आनन्द होना चाहिये, उतना तो उसे न मिलेगा।
19 क्योंकि उसने कंगालों को पीस कर छोड़ दिया, उसने घर को छीन लिया, उसको वह बढ़ाने न पाएगा।
20 लालसा के मारे उसको कभी शान्ति नहीं मिलती थी, इसलिये वह अपनी कोई मनभावनी वस्तु बचा न सकेगा।
21 कोई वस्तु उसका कौर बिना हुए न बचती थी; इसलिये उसका कुशल बना न रहेगा
22 पूरी सम्पत्ति रहते भी वह सकेती में पड़ेगा; तब सब दु:खियों के हाथ उस पर उठेंगे।
23 ऐसा होगा, कि उसका पेट भरने के लिये ईश्वर अपना क्रोध उस पर भड़काएगा, और रोटी खाने के समय वह उस पर पड़ेगा।
24 वह लोहे के हथियार से भागेगा, और पीतल के धनुष से मारा जाएगा।
25 वह उस तीर को खींच कर अपने पेट से निकालेगा, उसकी चमकीली नोंक उसके पित्ते से हो कर निकलेगी, भय उस में समाएगा।
26 उसके गड़े हुए धन पर घोर अन्धकार छा जाएगा। वह ऐसी आग से भस्म होगा, जो मनुष्य की फूंकी हुई न हो; और उसी से उसके डेरे में जो बचा हो वह भी भस्म हो जाएगा।
27 आकाश उसका अधर्म प्रगट करेगा, और पृथ्वी उसके विरुद्ध खड़ी होगी।
28 उसके घर की बढ़ती जाती रहेगी, वह उसके क्रोध के दिन बह जाएगी।
29 परमेश्वर की ओर से दुष्ट मनुष्य का अंश, और उसके लिये ईश्वर का ठहराया हुआ भाग यही है।
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
