Job 40
1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆୟୁବକୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦଇେ କହିଲେ,
2 ଆୟୁବ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସହିତ ୟୁକ୍ତି କରୁଛ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଭୁଲ କରିଛୁ ବୋଲି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବିଚାର କରିଛ, କ'ଣ ସ୍ବୀକାର କରିବ ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭୁଲ କରିଛ ବୋଲି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦିଅ।
3 ତା'ପରେ ଆୟୁବ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦଇେ କହିଲା,
4 ମୁଁ ଅତି ନିକୃଷ୍ଟ କଥା କହିବାକୁ ! ମୁଁ ବା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କି ଉତ୍ତର ଦବେି ? ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦଇେ ପାରିବି ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ମାରେ ହାତଦ୍ବାରା ମାରେ ମୁହଁ ବନ୍ଦ କରିବି।
5 ମୁଁ କହିଛି କିନ୍ତୁ ଆଉ ଥରେ କ ହେ ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ଦୁଇଥର କହିଛି କିନ୍ତୁ ତା'ଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ କିଛି କହିପାରିବି ନାହିଁ।
6 ତା'ପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆୟୁବକୁ ସହେି ଝଡ଼ ଭିତରୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଲେ,
7 ଆୟୁବ, କଟୀବନ୍ଧନ କରି ଜଣେ ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ପରି। ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ଯାହା ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ କରିବି ତା'ର ଉତ୍ତର ଦବୋକୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ହୁଅ।
8 ଆୟୁବ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ଭାବୁଛ ମୁଁ ନ୍ଯାଯୀ ନୁହେଁ ? ତୁମ୍ଭେ କହୁଛ ମୁଁ ଅପରାଧୀ ଭୁଲ କାମ କରି ୟଦ୍ବାରା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିରୀହ ପ୍ରମାଣିତ ହବେ।
9 ତୁମ୍ଭର ବାହୁ କ'ଣ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବାହୁ ତୁଲ୍ଯ ? ତୁମ୍ଭର କ'ଣ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଭଳି କଣ୍ଠସ୍ବର ରହିଛି। ଯାହାକି ଘଡ଼ଘଡ଼ି ପରି ଗର୍ଜ୍ଜନ କରିପା ରେ।
10 ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପରି, ତା' ହେଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଗର୍ବ କରିପାର। ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସହ ସମକକ୍ଷ, ତା' ହେଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପରି ମହିମା ଓ ସମ୍ମାନର ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପରିଧାନ କରିପାର।
11 ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ତୁଲ୍ଯ, ତା' ହେଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କୋରଧ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିପାର ଓ ଉଦ୍ଧତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦଇପୋର। ସହେି ଗର୍ବୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ନମ୍ର କରାଅ।
12 ହଁ ଆୟୁବ, ସହେି ଗର୍ବୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖ ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ନମ୍ର କର। ଦୁଷ୍ଟମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାନେେ ଛିଡ଼ା ହାଇେଥିବା ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ହିଁ ଦଳି ଦିଅ।
13 ସବୁ ଗର୍ବୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାଟି ରେ ପୋତିଦିଅ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶରୀର ଗୁଡ଼ାଇ ଦିଅ ଏବଂ ସମୟ ଭିତ ରେ ରଖିଦିଅ।
14 ଆଯବ, ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏସବୁ କରିପାରିବ ତା' ହେଲେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରିବି ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ସ୍ବୀକାର କରେ ଯେ, ନିଜର ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ହସ୍ତ ଯୋଗୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଜକୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବାକୁ ସମର୍ଥ।
15 ଆୟୁବ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବ ହମୋେତକୁ ଦେଖ। ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ସହେି ବ ହମୋେତକୁ ସୃଷ୍ଟି କରିଛି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ମୁଁ ସୃଷ୍ଟି କରିଛି। ବ ହମୋେତ ଗାଈପରି ଘାସ ଖାଏ।
16 ବେ ହମୋେତର ଶରୀର ରେ ଅତ୍ଯଧିକ ଶକ୍ତି ଅଛି। ତା'ର ପାକସ୍ଥଳୀର ମାଂସପେଶୀ ଅତି ବଳିଷ୍ଠ।
17 ବ ହମୋେତର ଲାଞ୍ଜ ଏରସବୃକ୍ଷ ପରି ଶକ୍ତ। ତା'ର ଗୋଡ଼ର ମାଂସପେଶୀ ଅତି ଶକ୍ତ।
18 ବ ହମାେତର ହାଡ଼ସବୁ ତମ୍ବା ପରି ଅତି ଶକ୍ତ। ତା'ର ଗୋଡ଼ ଲୁହାଖମ୍ବ ଭଳି ଶକ୍ତ।
19 ବେ ହମୋେତ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସୃଷ୍ଟି ରେ ସର୍ବୋତ୍ତମ। ଅନ୍ୟ କହେି ଯଦି ତାକୁ ସୃଷ୍ଟି କରିଛି ବୋଲି ଦାବୀ କରେ, ତାକୁ ତା'ର ଶଡ୍ଗ ବାହାର କରି ଏହି ଦାବିକୁ ପ୍ରତିରକ୍ଷା କରିବାକୁ ଦିଅ।
20 ବ ହମୋେତ ପାହାଡ଼ ଉପରେ ଜନ୍ମିଥିବା ଘାସ ଖାଏ। ଯେଉଁଠା ରେ ଜଙ୍ଗଲୀ ପ୍ରାଣୀମାନେ ଖୋଜାବୁଲା କରନ୍ତି।
21 ବ ହମୋେତ ପଦ୍ମବନ ତଳେ ଶଯନ କରେ। ବ ହମୋେତ ନଳବଣ ରେ ନିଜକୁ ଲୁଚାଇ ରଖିପା ରେ।
22 ପଦ୍ମପତ୍ର ସବୁ ତା'ର ଛାଯା ରେ ବ ହମୋେତକୁ ଲୁଚାଇ ରଖିପା ରେ। ସେ ନଦୀ କୂଳ ରେ ଜନ୍ମିଥିବା ବାଇଶ ବୃକ୍ଷ ତଳେ ବାସ କରେ।
23 ଯଦି ନଦୀ ରେ ବନ୍ଯା ଆ ସେ ବ ହମୋେତ ସଠାରୁେ ପଳାଇୟିବ ନାହିଁ। ସେ ଭୟଭୀତ ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ। ଯଦିଓ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀର ପାଣି ତା' ନାକ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ପହଁଞ୍ଚେ।
24 କହେି ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ବେ ହମୋେତର ଆଖିକୁ ଅନ୍ଧ କରିପା ରେ ନାହିଁ ଏବଂ ୟନ୍ତା ରେ ଧରିପା ରେ ନାହିଁ।
1 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,
2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
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.
