ಯೋಬನು 21
Then Job answered,
“Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
Allow me, and I also will speak. After I have spoken, mock on.
As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.
When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.
“Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
8 ೮ ಅವರ ಸಂತಾನದವರು ಅವರೊಂದಿಗಿರುತ್ತಾ ಅವರ ಮುಂದೆಯೇ ಸುಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿರುವರು, ಅವರ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಅವರ ಕಣ್ಣೆದುರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಚಲವಾಗಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುವರು.
Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.
They send out their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.
They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.
15 ೧೫ ಆ ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ದೇವರು ಎಷ್ಟರವನು, ಆತನನ್ನು ನಾವು ಏಕೆ ಸೇವಿಸಬೇಕು? ಆತನಿಗೆ ವಿಜ್ಞಾಪನೆ ಮಾಡುವುದರಿಂದ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವೇನು?’ ಎಂದೂ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’
Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 ೧೭ ದುಷ್ಟರ ದೀಪವು ಆರಿಹೋದದ್ದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ? ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ ಉಪದ್ರವವು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಸಂಭವಿಸಿದೆ? ದೇವರು ಕೋಪಗೊಂಡು ಅವರ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ಸಂಕಟಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟದ್ದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ?
“How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?
18 ೧೮ ಅವರು ಗಾಳಿಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಬಿದ್ದ ಹುಲ್ಲಿನಂತೆ ಆದದ್ದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ? ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಾರಿ ಬಿರುಗಾಳಿಯು ಕೊಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವ ಹೊಟ್ಟಿನಂತಿದ್ದರು?
How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?
19 ೧೯ ‘ದೇವರು ದುಷ್ಟನ ಪಾಪ ಫಲವನ್ನು ಅವನ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಇಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನೆ’ ಎನ್ನುತ್ತೀರೋ, ಆ ಫಲವನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುವ ಹಾಗೆ ದೇವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಲಿ.
You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.
Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?
“Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?
One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.
Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.
They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.
“Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.
For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’
Haven’t you asked wayfaring men? Don’t you know their evidences,
30 ೩೦ ಆಪತ್ತಿನ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ದುಷ್ಟನು ಉಳಿದು, ಕೋಪವು ತುಂಬಿ ತುಳುಕುವ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವನು ಎಂಬುದು ನಿಮಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲವೋ?
that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, that they are led out to the day of wrath?
31 ೩೧ ನೀನು ದುರ್ಮಾರ್ಗಿ ಎಂದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮುಖಾಮುಖಿಯಾಗಿ ಯಾರು ತಾನೇ ಹೇಳುವರು? ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮುಯ್ಯಿಗೆ ಮುಯ್ಯಿ ತೀರಿಸುವವರು ಯಾರು?
Who will declare his way to his face? Who will repay him what he has done?
Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men will keep watch over the tomb.
33 ೩೩ ಆ ಕಣಿವೆಯ ಪ್ರದೇಶದ ಹೆಂಟೆಗಳು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪಿತವಾಗಿರುವವು. ಅವನಿಗಿಂತ ಹಿಂದೆ ಲೆಕ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲದಷ್ಟು ಜನರು ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಇದ್ದರು, ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂದೆ ಸಮಸ್ತರೂ ಹೀಗೆಯೇ ಅವನನ್ನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸುವರು.
The clods of the valley will be sweet to him. All men will draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?”
