Job 35
1 फिर एलीहू इस प्रकार और भी कहता गया,
2 कि क्या तू इसे अपना हक़ समझता है? क्या तू दावा करता है कि तेरा धर्म ईश्वर के धर्म से अधिक है?
3 जो तू कहता है कि मुझे इस से क्या लाभ? और मुझे पापी होने में और न होने में कौन सा अधिक अन्तर है?
4 मैं तुझे और तेरे साथियों को भी एक संग उत्तर देता हूँ।
5 आकाश की ओर दृष्टि कर के देख; और आकाशमण्डल को ताक, जो तुझ से ऊंचा है।
6 यदि तू ने पाप किया है तो ईश्वर का क्या बिगड़ता है? यदि तेरे अपराध बहुत ही बढ़ जाएं तौभी तू उसके साथ क्या करता है?
7 यदि तू धमीं है तो उसको क्या दे देता है; वा उसे तेरे हाथ से क्या मिल जाता है?
8 तेरी दुष्टता का फल तुझ ऐसे ही पुरुष के लिये है, और तेरे धर्म का फल भी मनुष्य मात्र के लिये है।
9 बहुत अन्धेर होने के कारण वे चिल्लाते हैं; और बलवान के बाहुबल के कारण वे दोहाई देते हैं।
10 तौभी कोई यह नहीं कहता, कि मेरा सृजने वाला ईश्वर कहां है, जो रात में भी गीत गवाता है,
11 और हमें पृथ्वी के पशुओं से अधिक शिक्षा देता, और आकाश के पक्षियों से अधिक बुद्धि देता है?
12 वे दोहाई देते हैं परन्तु कोई उत्तर नहीं देता, यह बुरे लोगों के घमण्ड के कारण होता है।
13 निश्चय ईश्वर व्यर्थ बातें कभी नहीं सुनता, और न सर्वशक्तिमान उन पर चित्त लगाता है।
14 तो तू क्यों कहता है, कि वह मुझे दर्शन नहीं देता, कि यह मुक़द्दमा उसके साम्हने है, और तू उसकी बाट जोहता हुआ ठहरा है?
15 परन्तु अभी तो उसने क्रोध कर के दण्ड नहीं दिया है, और अभिमान पर चित्त बहुत नहीं लगाया;
16 इस कारण अय्यूब व्यर्थ मुंह खोल कर अज्ञानता की बातें बहुत बनाता है।
1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
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.
