Job 24
1 କାହିଁକି ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସମୟ ଲୁଚି ରହନେି, କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣନ୍ତି, କେତବେେଳେ ସେ ପଦକ୍ଷପେ ନବେେ ତାହା ଜାଣନ୍ତି।
2 କହେି କହେି ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ନିଜର ଜମିର ସୀମାକୁ ଘୁଞ୍ଚାଇ ପଡ଼ୋଶୀର ଜମି ମାରି ଦବୋକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରନ୍ତି। କହେି ଅନ୍ୟର ମଷେପଲ ହରଣ କରି ଅନ୍ୟ ଚରାଭୂମିକୁ ନଇେ ୟାଆନ୍ତି।
3 ସମାନେେ ଅନାଥମାନଙ୍କ ଗଧକୁ ଚୋରାଇ ନିଅନ୍ତି। କହେି ବିଧବାର ଗାଈ ନଇେ ବନ୍ଧକ ରୂପେ ରଖନ୍ତି ଯେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସେ ତା'ର ପ୍ରାପ୍ଯ ପରିଶାଧେ ନ କରିଛି।
4 ସମାନେେ ଗରିବ ଲୋକର ଗୃହରୁ ତଡ଼ିଦଇେ ଏଣତେଣେେ ବୁଲିବାକୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ଦିଅନ୍ତି। ଏହି ଗରିବମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ କୋପରୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇବାକୁ ଲୁଚି ବୁଲନ୍ତି।
5 ଗରୀବ ଲୋକମାନେ ବଣୁଆ ଗଧଭଳି ମରୁଭୂମିରେ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଅନ୍ବଷେଣ ରେ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ଥଳ ଘୁରି ବୁଲନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ପ୍ରାତଃକାଳରୁ ଉଠି ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଅନ୍ବଷେଣ ରେ ବୁଲନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ନିଜ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ପାଇଁ ବିଳମ୍ବିତ ସନ୍ଧ୍ଯା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ପରିଶ୍ରମ କରନ୍ତି।
6 ଗରିବ ଲୋକମାନେ ବହୁତ ବିଳମ୍ବିତ ରାତ୍ରିୟାଏ ଫସଲ ଅମଳ କରନ୍ତି। ସମେନେ ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ଧନୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ତାଙ୍କ ଅଙ୍ଗୁର କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ରେ ଅଙ୍ଗୁର ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରନ୍ତି।
7 ଗରିବ ଲୋକେ ବିନା ବସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସାରା ରାତି ଶଯନ କରନ୍ତି। ଶୀତରୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇବା ପାଇଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ନିକଟରେ ଘାଡ଼ୋଇବା ବସ୍ତ୍ର ନ ଥାଏ।
8 ସମାନେେ ପାହାଡ଼ ପର୍ବତ ରେ ବର୍ଷା ରେ ଭିଜନ୍ତି। ଥଣ୍ଡାରୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇବାକୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଖ ରେ କିଛି ନଥାଏ। ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ବଡ଼ ପଥର ପାଖ ରେ ଶରଣ ନିଅନ୍ତି ଥଣ୍ଡାରୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇବା ପାଇଁ।
9 ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକେ ମା କୋଳରୁ ସ୍ତନ୍ଯପାନ କରୁଥିବା ସନ୍ତାନକୁ ଛଡ଼ାଇ ନିଅନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଗରିବ ଲୋକର ପିଲାକୁ କରଜର ବନ୍ଧକ ସ୍ବରୂପ ରଖନ୍ତି।
10 ଗରିବ ଲୋକର ବସ୍ତ୍ର ନ ଥିବାରୁ ସମାନେେ ଉଲଗ୍ନ ହାଇେ କାମ କରନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଧାନ ବିଡ଼ା ବୁହନ୍ତି, ତଥାପି ସମାନେେ କ୍ଷୁଧାର୍ତ୍ତ ହାଇେ ୟାଆନ୍ତି।
11 ଗରିବ ଲୋକେ ତଲେ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କରନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଅଙ୍ଗୁର କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ରେ ଅଙ୍ଗୁର ରସ ନଇେ ମଦ୍ଯ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ରେ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରନ୍ତି ଅଥଚ ନିଜେ ପାନ କରିବାକୁ କିଛି ପାଆନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
12 ସହର ରେ ମରୁଥିବା ମନୁଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ କାନ୍ଦଣା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ଶୁଣିପାରୁଥିବ। ସହେି ଦୁଃଖି ମନୁଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କର ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଆର୍ତ୍ତ ଚିତ୍କାର, ପରମେଶ୍ବର କାନ ରେ ଶୁଣି ପାରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
13 କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଆଲୁଅ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ବିଦ୍ରୋହ ଘାଷେଣା କରନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଜାଣିପାରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର କ'ଣ ଚାହାଁନ୍ତି ? ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଚାହୁଁଥିବା ରାସ୍ତା ରେ ସମାନେେ ଚାଲନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
14 ହତ୍ଯାକାରୀ ସକାଳୁ ଉଠି ଗରିବ ଅସହାୟ ଲୋକକୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରେ ଏବଂ ରାତି ରେ ସେ ଚୋର ପାଲଟିୟାଏ।
15 ଯେଉଁ ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ବ୍ଯଭିଚାର କରେ ରାତି ହବୋକୁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରେ। ସେ ଭାବେ, 'କହେି ତାକୁ ଦେଖି ପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ।' ତଥାପି ସେ ତା'ର ମୁଖକୁ ଘାଡ଼ୋଇଥାଏ।
16 ରାତି ହେଲେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ରେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକର ଘର ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପଶେ କିନ୍ତୁ ଦିନ ବେଳେ ନିଜ ଘ ରେ କବାଟ କିଳି ରହିଥାଏ, ଏବଂ ଆଲୁଅଠାରୁ ଦୂର ରେ ରୁହନ୍ତି।
17 ଦୁଷ୍ଟଲୋକ ପାଇଁ ଘନ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ରାତି ହିଁ ସକାଳ ସଦୃଶ। ସମାନେେ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ରେ ଭୟାନକତା ରେ ଅଭ୍ଯସ୍ତ।
18 ବନ୍ଯା ଜଳ ରେ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଭାସିଗଲା ପରି ଦୁଷ୍ଟଲୋକ ଭାସିୟାଏ। ଯେଉଁ ଜମିର ସେ ମାଲିକ ଥାଏ ତାହା ଶଷେ ରେ ତା' ପାଇଁ ଅଭିଶାପରେ ପରିଣତ ହୁଏ। ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ନିଜ କ୍ଷତରେୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ଅଙ୍ଗୁର ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରି ପାରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
19 ଯେପରି ଗରମ, ଶୁଖିଲା ପାଗ ଶୀତ ଦିନର ବରଫରୁ ଆସୁଥିବା ପାଣି ନଇୟୋଏ। ଠିକ୍ ସହେିଭଳି ସେ ପାପୀମାନେ କବରକୁ ବୁହା ହବେେ।
20 ଏପରିକି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ମଲାପରେ ତା'ର ଗର୍ଭଧାରିଣୀ ମା' ତାକୁ ପାଶୋରିବ। ତା'ର ସୁଗଠିତ ହୃଦଯ ସହିତ ଶରୀର କୀଟମାନଙ୍କ ସୁସ୍ବାଦୁ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ହବେ। ଲୋକେ ତାକୁ ମନେ ରଖିବେ ନାହିଁ। ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକଟି ପଚା ବାଡ଼ିପରି ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପଡ଼ିବ।
21 ଦୁଷ୍ଟଲୋକ ବନ୍ଧ୍ଯା ନାରୀକୁ ଆଘାତ କରେ। ଏବଂ ସେ ବିଧବା ନାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିବାକୁ ମନା କରେ।
22 ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ତାଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ତି ବ୍ଯବହାର କରନ୍ତି ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିବାକୁ। ଯଦିଓ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକ ହୁଏତ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ସମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କ ନିଜ ଜୀବନ ବିଷଯ ରେ ନିଶ୍ଚଯତା ନାହିଁ।
23 ଦୁଷ୍ଟଲୋକ ଅଳ୍ପ ସମୟ ପାଇଁ ନିଜକୁ ନିର୍ଭର ଓ ନିରାପଦ ମଣେ। ସମାନେେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ହବୋକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରନ୍ତି।
24 ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକ କମ୍ ସମୟରେ ସଫଳତା ହାସଲ କଲବେି ଶଷେ ରେ ସମାନେେ ଚିରଦିନ ଲାଗି ବିଦାଯ ନବେେ। ସମାନେେ ଶଷେ ରେ ଶସ୍ଯ କଣାଭଳି କଟା ହବେେ ଠିକ୍ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ପରି।
25 ମୁଁ ଶପଥ କରି କହିପା ରେ। ଏସବୁ ସତ୍ଯ ଅଟେ। କିଏ ପ୍ରମାଣ କରିବ ଯେ ମୁଁ ମିଥ୍ଯା କହୁଛି ? କିଏ ଦଖାଇେ ଦଇେ ପାରିବ ମୁଁ ଭୁଲ୍ କରୁଛି ବୋଲି ?
1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
Job 14 in Tamil and English
1 ஸ்திரீயினிடத்தில் பிறந்த மனுஷன் வாழ்நாள் குறுகினவனும் சஞ்சலம் நிறைந்தவனுமாயிருக்கிறான்.
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 அவன் பூவைப்போலப் பூத்து அறுப்புண்கிறான்; நிழலைப்போல நிலைநிற்காமல் ஓடிப்போகிறான்.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 ஆகிலும் இப்படிப்பட்டவன்மேல் நீர் உம்முடைய கண்களைத் திறந்துவைத்து, உம்முடைய நியாயத்துக்கு என்னைக் கொண்டுபோவீரோ?
And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 அசுத்தமானதிலிருத்து சுத்தமானதை பிறப்பிக்கத்தக்கவன் உண்டோ? ஒருவனுமில்லை.
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5 அவனுடைய நாட்கள் இம்மாத்திரம் என்று குறிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கையால், அவனுடைய மாதங்களின் தொகை உம்மிடத்தில் இருக்கிறது; அவன் கடந்துபோகக் கூடாத எல்லையை அவனுக்கு ஏற்படுத்தினீர்.
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6 அவன் ஒரு கூலிக்காரனைப்போல் தன் நாளின் வேலையாயிற்று என்று ரம்மியப்படுமட்டும் அவன் ஓய்ந்திருக்கும்படி உமது பார்வையை அவனைவிட்டு விலக்கும்.
Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
7 ஒரு மரத்தைக்குறித்தாவது நம்பிக்கையுண்டு; அது வெட்டிப்போடப்பட்டாலும் திரும்பத் தழைக்கும், அதின் இளங்கிளைகள் துளிர்க்கும்;
For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 அதின் வேர் தரையிலே பழையதாகி, அதின் அடிக்கட்டை மண்ணிலே செத்தாலும்,
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 தண்ணீரின் வாசனையினால் அது துளிர்த்து, இளமரம்போலக் கிளைவிடும்.
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 மனுஷனோவென்றால் செத்தபின் ஒழிந்துபோகிறான், மனுபுத்திரர் ஜீவித்துப்போனபின் அவன் எங்கே?
But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11 தண்ணீர் ஏரியிலிருந்து வடிந்து வெள்ளம் வற்றிச் சுவறிப்போகிறதுபோல,
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12 மனுஷன் படுத்துக்கிடக்கிறான் ; வானங்கள் ஒழிந்துபோகுமளவும் எழுந்திருக்கிறதும் இல்லை, நித்திரை தெளிந்து விழிக்கிறதும் இல்லை.
So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 நீர் என்னைப் பாதாளத்தில் ஒளித்து, உமது கோபம் தீருமட்டும் என்னை மறைத்து, என்னைத் திரும்ப நினைக்கும்படிக்கு எனக்கு ஒரு காலத்தைக் குறித்தால் நலமாயிருக்கும்.
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 மனுஷன் செத்தபின் பிழைப்பானோ? எனக்கு மாறுதல் வருமென்று எனக்குக் குறிக்கப்பட்ட போராட்டத்தின் நாளெல்லாம் நான் காத்திருக்கிறேன்.
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15 என்னைக் கூப்பிடும், அப்பொது நான் உமக்கு உத்தரவு சொல்லுவேன்; உமது கைகளின் கிரியையின்மேல் விருப்பம் வைப்பீராக.
Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16 இப்பொழுது என் நடைகளை எண்ணுகிறீர், என் பாவத்தின்மேலல்லவோ கவனமாயிருக்கிறீர்.
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 என் மீறுதல் ஒரு கட்டாகக் கட்டப்பட்டு முத்திரைபோடப்பட்டிருக்கிறது, என் அக்கிரமத்தை ஒருமிக்கச் சேர்த்தீர்.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18 மலை முதலாய் விழுந்து கரைந்துபோம், கன்மலை தன் இடத்தை விட்டுப்பேர்ந்துபோம்.
And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19 தண்ணீர் கற்களைக் குடையும்; ஜலப்பிரவாகம் பூமியின் தூளில் முளைத்ததை மூடும்; அப்படியே மனுஷன் கொண்டிருக்கும் நம்பிக்கையை அழிக்கிறீர்.
The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 நீர் என்றைக்கும் அவனைப் பெலனாய் நெருக்குகிறதினால் அவன் போய்விடுகிறான்; அவன் முகரூபத்தை மாறப்பண்ணி அவனை அனுப்பிவிடுகிறீர்.
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21 அவன் பிள்ளைகள் கனமடைந்தாலும் அவன் உணரான்; அவர்கள் சிறுமைப்பட்டாலும் அவர்களைக் கவனியான்.
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22 அவன் மாம்சம் அவனிலிருக்குமளவும் அதற்கு நோவிருக்கும்; அவன் ஆத்துமா அவனுக்குள்ளிருக்குமட்டும் அதற்குத் துக்கமுண்டு என்றான்.
But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
