ಯೋಬನು 18

1 ಆಗ ಶೂಹ್ಯನಾದ ಬಿಲ್ದದನು ಉತ್ತರ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದೇನಂದರೆ--

2 ಎಲ್ಲಿಯ ವರೆಗೆ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಮುಂದುವರಿಸುವಿರಿ? ಗ್ರಹಿಸಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳಿರಿ, ಆಮೇಲೆ ಮಾತನಾಡೋಣ.

3 ಯಾಕೆ ನಾವು ಪಶುವಿನ ಹಾಗೆ ಎಣಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟೆವು? ಯಾಕೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳಿಗೆ ತುಚ್ಛವಾಗಿದ್ದೇವೆ?

4 ಕೋಪದಿಂದ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ತಾನೇ ಹರಿಯುವವನೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ನಿಮಿತ್ತ ಭೂಮಿ ಬಿಡಲ್ಪಡಬೇಕೋ? ಬಂಡೆ ತನ್ನ ಸ್ಥಳದಿಂದ ತೊಲಗ ಬೇಕೋ?

5 ಹೌದು, ನಿಶ್ಚಯವಾಗಿ ದುಷ್ಟರ ಬೆಳಕು ಆರಿ ಹೋಗುವದು; ಅವನ ಬೆಂಕಿಯ ಜ್ವಾಲೆಯು ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿ ಸದು.

6 ಬೆಳಕು ಅವನ ಗುಡಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕತ್ತಲಾಗುವದು; ಅವನ ದೀಪವು ಅವನ ಕೂಡ ಆರಿ ಹೋಗುವದು

7 ಅವನ ಬಲದ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಗಳು ಇಕ್ಕಟ್ಟಾಗುವವು; ಅವನ ಆಲೋಚನೆಯು ಅವನನ್ನು ದೊಬ್ಬುವದು.

8 ತನ್ನ ಕಾಲುಗಳಿಂದ ಬಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಕೊಂಡನು; ಉರ್ಲಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ನಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ.

9 ನೇಣು ಅವನ ಹಿಮ್ಮಡಿಯನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವದು; ಕಳ್ಳನು ಅವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಲಗೊಳ್ಳುವನು.

10 ಅವನ ಪಾಶವು ಭೂಮಿ ಯಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಅವನ ಕೊಂಡಿಯು ಹಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಇಡಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದೆ.

11 ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ದಿಗಿಲುಗಳು ಅವನನ್ನು ಹೆದರಿಸಿ ಅವನ ಕಾಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಎಬ್ಬಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.

12 ಅವನ ಬಲವು ಕುಸಿಯುವುದು, ನಾಶನವು ಅವನ ಬಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿದ್ಧವಾಗಿರುವದು.

13 ಅವನ ಚರ್ಮದ ಬಲವನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವನು; ಮರಣದ ಚೊಚ್ಟಲ ಮಗನು ಅವನ ಬಲವನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವನು.

14 ಅವನ ಭರವಸವು ಅವನ ಗುಡಾರದೊಳಗಿಂದ ಕೀಳಲ್ಪಡುವುದು; ಅದು ಅವ ನನ್ನು ದಿಗಿಲುಗಳ ಅರಸನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ನಡಿಸುವದು.

15 ಅವನಿಗಿಲ್ಲದ ಅವನ ಗುಡಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಅದು ವಾಸಿ ಸುವುದು; ಅವನ ನಿವಾಸದ ಮೇಲೆ ಗಂಧಕ ಚದುರಿ ಬರುವದು.

16 ಕೆಳಗಿನಿಂದ ಅವನ ಬೇರುಗಳು ಒಣ ಗುವವು; ಮೇಲಿನಿಂದ ಅವನ ಕೊಂಬೆಯು ಕೊಯ್ಯ ಲ್ಪಡುವದು;

17 ಅವನ ಜ್ಞಾಪಕವು ದೇಶದೊಳಗಿಂದ ನಾಶವಾಗುವದು; ಬೀದಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಹೆಸರು ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಇರುವದು.

18 ಬೆಳಕಿನಿಂದ ಅವನನ್ನು ಕತ್ತ ಲೆಗೆ ದೊಬ್ಬುವರು; ಲೋಕದಿಂದ ಓಡಿಸುವರು.

19 ಅವನ ಜನರಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮಗನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಮೊಮ್ಮಗನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಅವನ ನಿವಾಸಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಉಳಿ ದವನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ.

20 ಅವನ ತರುವಾಯ ಬರುವವರು ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯಪಡುವರು; ಮುಂದೆ ಹೋದವರನ್ನು ದಿಗಿಲು ಹಿಡಿಯುವದು.

21 ನಿಶ್ಚಯವಾಗಿ ದುಷ್ಟರ ಮನೆಗಳು ಇಂಥವುಗಳೇ; ದೇವರನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಯದವನ ಸ್ಥಳವು ಇದೇ.

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.

Zechariah 1 in Tamil and English

1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ବରେିଖିଯଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତା ୟିଖରିଯଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ବାର୍ତ୍ତା ପଠାଇଲେ। ପାରସ୍ଯର ରାଜା ଦାରିଯାବସଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବିତୀୟ ବର୍ଷର ଅଷ୍ଟମ ମାସ ରେ ଏହା ଘଟିଥିଲା। ୟିଖରିଯ ବରେିଖିଯଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଥିଲେ। ବରେିଖିଯ ଇଦ୍ଦୋଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଥିଲେ।
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

2 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ଉପ ରେ ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ କୋରଧାନ୍ବିତ ହାଇେଥିଲେ।
The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers.

3 ତେଣୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି କଥା କୁହ, ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କୁହନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାେ ନିକଟକୁ ଫରେିଆସ ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିକଟକୁ ଫରେିୟିବି। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ଏହା କହିଥିଲେ।
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.

4 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପୁଣି କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣଙ୍କ ପରି ବ୍ଯବହାର କର ନାହିଁ। ପୂର୍ବ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଗଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଛନ୍ତି, 'ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରନ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଡୀବନଧାରଣର କୁପଥ ବଦଳାଅ ଓ କୁକର୍ମରୁ ନିବୃତ୍ତ ହୁଅ।' କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସହେି ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣ ଆମ୍ଭେ ବାକ୍ଯ ଶୁଣିଲେ ନାହିଁ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହିସବୁ କହନ୍ତି।
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord.

5 ପରମେଶ୍ବର କହିଲେ, ତେଣୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ସହେି ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ କାହାନ୍ତି? ସହେି ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଗଣ କଣ ଏପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବଞ୍ଚିଛନ୍ତି?
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?

6 ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଗଣଙ୍କୁ, ଆମ୍ଭର ଆଜ୍ଞା ଓ ଶିକ୍ଷା ସମୂହ ବିଷଯ ରେ ପ୍ରଗ୍ଭର କରିବାକୁ ଆଦେଶ ଦଇେଥିଲୁ। ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣ ଏହି ଆଦେଶ ଭାଙ୍ଗିବାରୁ ଶଷେ ରେ ଦଣ୍ତ ଦିଆୟାଇଥିଲା, କ'ଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଦିଆୟାଇନଥିଲା? ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣ କହିଲେ, 'ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ୍ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭର କୁପଥ ଏବଂ କୁକର୍ମ ପାଇଁ ଦଣ୍ତ ଦଇେଥିଲେ।' ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଫରେିଆସିଲେ।
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.

7 ଦାରିଯାବସଙ୍କ ଶାସନର ଦ୍ବିତୀୟ ବର୍ଷର ଏକାଦଶ ମାସର ଏହା ହେଉଛି ଶବାଟ ମାସର ଚତୁର୍ବିଂଶ ଦିନ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କର ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତା ୟିଖରିଯଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ବାର୍ତ୍ତା ପଠାଇଲେ। ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତା ୟିଖରିଯ ବରେିଖିଯଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଥିଲେ, ବରେିଖିଯ ଇଦ୍ଦୋଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଥିଲେ।
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

8 ରାତି ରେ ମୁଁ ଲାଲ୍ ଅଶ୍ବ ଉପ ରେ ଏକ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିକୁ ଦେଖିଲି। ଏହା ଉପତ୍ୟକାର ମେ ହନ୍ଦେି ବୁଦା ମଝି ରେ ଛିଡା ହାଇେଥିଲା। ତାଙ୍କ ପଛ ରେ ଲାଲ୍, ଧୂସର ଏବଂ ଧଳା ଅଶ୍ବଗୁଡିକ ଥିଲେ।
I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.

9 ମୁଁ ପଗ୍ଭରିଲି, ହେ ମାରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏଗୁଡିକ କ'ଣ ପାଇଁ?
Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.

10 ତା'ପ ରେ ମେ ହନ୍ଦେି ବୁଦା ମଧିଅରେ ଛିଡା ହାଇେଥିବା ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଜଣଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ଏଣେ ତଣେେ ଭ୍ରମଣ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହି ଅଶ୍ବଗୁଡିକୁ ପ୍ ରରଣେ କରିଛନ୍ତି।
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

11 ତା'ପ ରେ ସହେି ଅଶ୍ବଗୁଡିକ ମେ ହନ୍ଦେି ବୁଦା ମଧିଅରେ ଛିଡା ହାଇେଥିବା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତକୁ କହିଲେ, ଦେଖ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସାରା ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ଭ୍ରମଣ କରିଛୁ ଏବଂ ସମଗ୍ର ପୃଥିବୀ ସୁସ୍ଥିର ଓ ଶାନ୍ତ ଅଛି।
And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.

12 ତା'ପ ରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତ କହିଲେ, ହେ ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କେତକୋଳ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦୟାରୁ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ଏବଂ ଯିହୁଦା ନଗରକୁ ଦୂ ରଇେ ରଖିବ? ସତୁରି ବର୍ଷ ଧରି ଏହି ନଗରଗୁଡିକ ଉପ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କୋରଧ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିଛ।
Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?

13 ମାେ ସହିତ କଥା ହେଉଥିବା ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତକୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ। ସେ ମଙ୍ଗଳ ଓ ସାନ୍ତ୍ବନାମୂଳକ କଥା କହିଲେ।
And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.

14 ତା'ପ ରେ ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତ ୟିଏ ମାେ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ କଥା କହୁଥିଲେ, କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ଏହି ବାକ୍ଯ ଘାଷେଣା କର।
So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

15 ନିଜକୁ ନିରାପଦ ମନେ କରୁଥିବା ଦେଶ ପ୍ରତି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ କ୍ଷୁବ୍ଧ ଥିଲୁ। କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ବିପର୍ୟ୍ଯଯକୁ ସର୍ବଦା ଆମନ୍ତ୍ରଣ କରୁଥିଲେ।
And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.

16 ତେଣୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର କୁହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ପୁଣି ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ଫରେି ଆସିବା ଓ ଆମ୍ଭର ନିଜ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଦୟା ଦଖାଇବୋ। ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପୁଣି କୁହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭର ଘର ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ନିର୍ମିତ ହବେ ଏବଂ ସମଗ୍ର ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ରେ ପୁନଃନିର୍ମାଣର ଲକ୍ଷଣ ଦଖାୟିବେ।
Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.

17 ସହେି ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତ ମଧ୍ଯ କହିଲେ, ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ୍ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହନ୍ତି, 'ଆମ୍ଭର ନଗରଗୁଡିକ ଉତ୍ତମ ସାମଗ୍ରୀ ରେ ଉଛୁଳିବ। ଆମ୍ଭର ସିୟୋନ ପ୍ରତି ଦୟା ରହିବ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ୟିରୁଶାଲମକୁ ଆପଣା ବିଶଷେ ନଗର ରୂପେ ମନୋନୀତ କରିବା।'
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

18 ଏହାପ ରେ ମୁଁ ଉର୍ଦ୍ଧ୍ବକୁ ଗ୍ଭହିଁଲି ଏବଂ ଗ୍ଭରିଟି ଶିଙ୍ଗ ଦେଖିଲି।
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.

19 ତା'ପ ରେ ମୁଁ ଯେଉଁ ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତ ସହ କଥାବାର୍ତ୍ତା ହେଉଥିଲି ତାଙ୍କୁ ପଗ୍ଭରିଲି, ଏହି ଶିଙ୍ଗଗୁଡିକ କ'ଣ?
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

20 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ ଗ୍ଭରିଜଣ କର୍ମୀଙ୍କୁ ଦଖାଇେଲେ।
And the Lord shewed me four carpenters.

21 ମୁଁ ପଗ୍ଭରିଲି, ଏହି ଗ୍ଭରିଜଣ ବଢଇେ କ'ଣ କରିବାକୁ ଆସିଛନ୍ତି?
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
