Job 11
1 అప్పుడు నయమాతీయుడైన జోఫరు ఈలాగునప్రత్యుత్తరమిచ్చెను
2 ప్రవాహముగా బయలువెళ్లు మాటలకు ప్రత్యుత్తరము చెప్పవలెను గదా.వదరుబోతు వ్యాజ్యెము న్యాయమని యెంచదగునా?
3 నీ ప్రగల్భములను విని మనుష్యులు మౌనముగా నుండ వలెనా?ఎవడును నిన్ను అపహసింపకుండనే నీవు హాస్యముచేయుదువా?
4 నా ఉపదేశము నిర్దోషమనియుదేవా, నీదృష్టికి నేను పవిత్రుడననియు నీవనుచున్నావే.
5 దేవుడు నీతో మాటలాడిన మేలుఆయనే నీతో వాదించిన మేలు
6 ఆయనే జ్ఞానరహస్యములు నీకు తెలియజేసిన మేలు అప్పుడు జ్ఞానము నీ యోచనకు మించినదని నీవుతెలిసికొందువునీ దోషములో అధిక భాగము దేవుడు మరచిపోయియున్నాడని తెలిసికొనుము.
7 దేవుని గూఢాంశములను నీవు తెలిసికొనగలవా?సర్వశక్తుడగు దేవునిగూర్చి నీకు పరిపూర్ణజ్ఞానముకలుగునా?
8 అది ఆకాశ వీధి అంత ఉన్నతమైనది, నీవేమిచేయుదువు?పాతాళముకంటె లోతుగానున్నది, నీవేమి యెరుగుదువు?
9 దాని పరిమాణము బ ³ూమికంటె అధికమైనదిదాని వెడల్పు సముద్రముకంటె అధికమైనది
10 ఆయన సంచారముచేయుచు ఒకని చెరలో వేసివ్యాజ్యెమాడ పిలిచినప్పుడుఆయన నడ్డగింప గలవాడెవడు?
11 పనికిమాలినవారెవరో ఆయనే యెరుగును గదాపరిశీలనచేయకయే పాపము ఎక్కడ జరుగుచున్నదోఆయనే తెలిసికొనును గదా.
12 అయితే అడవి గాడిదపిల్ల నరుడై పుట్టిననాటికిగానిబుద్ధిహీనుడు వివేకికాడు.
13 నీవు నీ మనస్సును తిన్నగా నిలిపినయెడలనీ చేతులు ఆయనవైపు చాపినయెడల
14 పాపము నీ చేతిలోనుండుట చూచి నీవు దానివిడిచినయెడలనీ గుడారములలోనుండి దుర్మార్గతను నీవు కొట్టివేసిన యెడల
15 నిశ్చయముగా నిర్దోషివై నీవు సంతోషించెదవునిర్భయుడవై నీవు స్థిరపడి యుందువు.
16 నిశ్చయముగా నీ దుర్దశను నీవు మరచెదవుదాటిపోయిన పారు నీటిని జ్ఞాపకము చేసికొనునట్లునీవు దానిని జ్ఞాపకము చేసికొనెదవు.
17 అప్పుడు నీ బ్రదుకు మధ్యాహ్నకాల తేజస్సుకంటె అధికముగా ప్రకాశించునుచీకటి కమ్మినను అది అరుణోదయమువలె కాంతిగానుండును.
18 నమ్మకమునకు ఆస్పదము కలుగును గనుక నీవు ధైర్యముగా ఉందువు.నీ యింటిని నీవు పరిశోధించి సురక్షితముగా పండు కొందువు.
19 ఎవరి భయములేకుండ నీవు పండుకొందువు అనేకులు నీతో విన్నపములు చేసెదరు.
20 దుష్టుల కనుచూపు క్షీణించిపోవునువారికి ఆశ్రయమేమియు ఉండదుప్రాణము ఎప్పుడు విడిచెదమా అని వారు ఎదురుచూచుచుందురు.
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Psalm 38 in Tamil and English
1 கர்த்தாவே, உம்முடைய கோபத்தில் என்னைக் கடிந்துகொள்ளாதேயும்; உம்முடைய உக்கிரத்தில் என்னைத் தண்டியாதேயும்.
O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 உம்முடைய அம்புகள் எனக்குள்ளே தைத்திருக்கிறது; உமது கை என்னை இருத்துகிறது.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 உமது கோபத்தினால் என் மாம்சத்தில் ஆரோக்கியமில்லை; என் பாவத்தினால் என் எலும்புகளில் சவுக்கியமில்லை.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 என் அக்கிரமங்கள் என் தலைக்குமேலாகப் பெருகிற்று, அவைகள் பாரச்சுமையைப்போல என்னால் தாங்கக் கூடாத பாரமாயிற்று.
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 என் மதிகேட்டினிமித்தம் என் புண்கள் அழுகி நாற்றமெடுத்தது.
My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 நான் வேதனைப்பட்டு ஒடுங்கினேன்; நாள்முழுதும் துக்கப்பட்டுத் திரிகிறேன்.
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7 என் குடல்கள் எரிபந்தமாய் எரிகிறது, என் மாம்சத்தில் ஆரோக்கியமில்லை.
For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 நான் பெலனற்றுப்போய், மிகவும் நொறுக்கப்பட்டேன்; என் இருதயத்தின் கொந்தளிப்பினால் கதறுகிறேன்.
I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 ஆண்டவரே, என் ஏங்கலெல்லாம் உமக்கு முன்பாக இருக்கிறது; என் தவிப்பு உமக்கு மறைவாயிருக்கவில்லை.
Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 என் உள்ளம் குழம்பி அலைகிறது; என் பெலன் என்னை விட்டு விலகி, என் கண்களின் ஒளி முதலாய் இல்லாமற்போயிற்று.
My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 என் சிநேகிதரும் என் தோழரும் என் வாதையைக் கண்டு விலகுகிறார்கள்; என் இனத்தாரும் தூரத்திலே நிற்கிறார்கள்.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 என் பிராணனை வாங்கத்தேடுகிறவர்கள் எனக்குக் கண்ணிகளை வைக்கிறார்கள்; எனக்குப் பொல்லாங்கு தேடுகிறவர்கள் கேடானவைகளைப்பேசி, நாள்முழுதும் வஞ்சனைகளை யோசிக்கிறார்கள்.
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13 நானோ செவிடனைப்போலக் கேளாதவனாகவும், ஊமையனைப்போல வாய்திறவாதவனாகவும் இருக்கிறேன்.
But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 காதுகேளாதவனும், தன் வாயில் மறு உத்தரவுகளில்லாதவனுமாயிருக்கிற மனுஷனைப்போலானேன்.
Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 கர்த்தாவே, உமக்குக் காத்திருக்கிறேன்; என் தேவனாகிய ஆண்டவரே, நீர் மறு உத்தரவு அருளினீர்.
For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16 அவர்கள் என்னிமித்தம் சந்தோஷப்படாதபடிக்கு இப்படிச்சொன்னேன்; என் கால் தவறும்போது என்மேல் பெருமைபாராட்டுவார்களே.
For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 நான் தடுமாறி விழ ஏதுவாயிருக்கிறேன்; என் துக்கம் எப்பொழுதும் என் முன்பாக இருக்கிறது.
For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 என் அக்கிரமத்தை நான் அறிக்கையிட்டு, என் பாவத்தினிமித்தம் விசாரப்படுகிறேன்.
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19 என் சத்துருக்கள் வாழ்ந்து பலத்திருக்கிறார்கள்; முகாந்தரமில்லாமல் என்னைப் பகைக்கிறவர்கள் பெருகியிருக்கிறார்கள்.
But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 நான் நன்மையைப் பின்பற்றுகிறபடியால், நன்மைக்குத் தீமை செய்கிறவர்கள் என்னை விரோதிக்கிறார்கள்.
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
21 கர்த்தாவே, என்னைக் கைவிடாதேயும்; என் தேவனே, எனக்குத் தூரமாயிராதேயும்.
Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.
