ইয়োবের বিবরণ 21
Then responded Job, and said: —
Hear ye patiently my words, and let this be your consolation:
Suffer me, that, I, may speak, and, after I have spoken, thou canst mock!
Did, I, unto man, make my complaint? Wherefore, then, should my spirit not be impatient?
Turn round to me, and be astonished, and lay hand on mouth!
When I call to mind, then am I dismayed, and there seizeth my flesh a shuddering: —
Wherefore do, lawless men, live, advance in years, even wax mighty in power?
8 ৮ তাদের বংশধাররা তাদের চোখের সামনে তাদের সঙ্গে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হচ্ছে এবং তাদের সন্তানসন্ততিরা তাদের চোখের সামনে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হচ্ছে।
Their seed, is established in their sight, along with them, yea their offspring, before their eyes;
Their houses, are at peace, without dread, neither is, the rod of GOD, upon them;
10 ১০ তাদের ষাঁড় বংশ বৃদ্ধি করে; তা এটা করতে ব্যর্থ হয় না; তাদের গরু বাচ্চা জন্ম দেয় এবং গাভীন তার বাছুর হারায় না।
His bull, covereth, and causeth not aversion, His cow safely calveth, and casteth not her young;
They send forth—like a flock—their young ones, and, their children, skip about for joy;
They rejoice aloud as [with] timbrel and lyre, and make merry to the sound of the pipe;
13 ১৩ তারা সৌভাগ্যে তাদের জীবন যাপন করে এবং তারা নিঃশব্দে (শান্তিপুর্বক) পাতালে নেমে যায়। (Sheol h7585)
They complete, in prosperity, their days, and, in a moment to hades, they sink down. (Sheol h7585)
Yet they said unto GOD, Depart from us, and, In the knowledge of thy ways, find we no pleasure.
15 ১৫ সর্বশক্তিমান কে যে আমাদের তাঁর উপাসনা করা উচিত? যদি আমরা তাঁর কাছে প্রার্থনা করি তাহলে আমাদের কি লাভ হবে?’
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? Or what shall we profit, that we should urge him?
Lo! not in their own hand, is their welfare, The counsel of lawless men, is far from me!
17 ১৭ কতবার পাপীদের প্রদীপ নেভান হয় অথবা কতবার যে তাদের ওপর বিপদ আসে? কতবার এটা ঘটেছে যে ঈশ্বর তাঁর ক্রোধে তাদের কষ্ট ভাগ করেছেন?
How oft, the lamp of the lawless, goeth out, and their calamity, cometh upon them, Sorrows, apportioneth he in his anger;
They become as straw before the wind, and as chaff, which the storm stealeth away.
19 ১৯ তোমরা বল, ‘ঈশ্বর এক জনের অপরাধের দায় তার সন্তানদের জন্য রাখেছেন,’ তাকে নিজেকেই এটা ভোগ করতে দাও, যাতে সে জানতে পারে তার অপরাধ।
Shall, GOD, reserve, for his children, his sorrow? Let him recompense him so that he may know it;
His own eyes, shall see his misfortune, and, the wrath of the Almighty, shall he drink.
For what shall be his pleasure in his house after him, when, the number of his months, is cut in twain?
Is it, to GOD, one can teach knowledge, seeing that, he, shall judge, them who are on high?
This, man dieth, in the very perfection of his prosperity, wholly tranquil and secure;
His veins, are filled with nourishment, and, the marrow of his bones, is fresh;
Whereas, this other man, dieth, in bitterness of soul, and hath never tasted good fortune:
Together, in the dust, they lie down, and, the worm, spreadeth a covering over them.
Lo! I know your plans, and the devices, wherewith ye would do me violence!
For ye say, Where is the house of the noble-minded? And where the dwelling-tent of the lawless?
Have ye not asked the passers-by in the way? And, their signs, can ye not recognise?
That, to the day of calamity, is the wicked reserved, to the day of indignant visitation, are they led.
Who can declare—to his face—his way? And, what, he, hath done, who shall recompense to him?
Yet, he, to the graves, is borne, and, over the tomb, one keepeth watch;
33 ৩৩ উপত্যকার মাটি তার কাছে মিষ্টি লাগবে; সমস্ত লোক তাকে অনুসরণ করবে, তার আগে অসংখ্য মানুষ যেমন সেখানে ছিল।
Pleasant to him are the mounds of the torrent-bed, —and, after him, doth every man march, as, before him, there were without number.
34 ৩৪ নিরর্থক কোথায় তোমরা কেমন করে আমায় সান্ত্বনা দেবে, যেহেতু তোমাদের উত্তরে কিছুই নেই কিন্তু মিথ্যা রয়েছে?”
How then should ye comfort me with vanity, since, as for your replies, there lurketh, [in them] treachery?
