ইয়োবের বিবরণ 29
And Job continued and said in his parable,
Oh that I were as in months past, wherein God preserved me!
As when his lamp shone over my head; when by his light I walked through darkness.
[As] when I steadfastly pursued my ways, when God took care of my house.
When I was very fruitful, and my children were about me;
when my ways were moistened with butter, and the mountains flowed for me with milk.
When I went forth early in the city, and the seat was placed for me in the streets.
8 ৮ যুবকেরা আমায় দেখল এবং তারা সম্মানে আমার থেকে দূরত্ব বজায় রাখত এবং বৃদ্ধেরা আমার জন্য উঠে দাঁড়াত।
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and all the old men stood up.
And the great men ceased speaking, and laid their finger on their mouth.
And they that heard [me] blessed me, and their tongue clave to their throat.
For the ear heard, and blessed me; and the eye saw me, and turned aside.
12 ১২ কারণ আমি দরিদ্র লোকদের উদ্ধার করতাম যারা কষ্টে চিত্কার করত এবং যার কেউ নেই সেই পিতৃহীনকেও সাহায্য করতাম।
For I saved the poor out of the hand of the oppressor, and helped the fatherless who had no helper.
Let the blessing of the perishing one come upon me; yes, the mouth of the widow has blessed me.
14 ১৪ আমি ধার্ম্মিকতা পরতাম এবং এটা আমায় ঢাকত; আমার ন্যায়বিচার কাপড়ের মত ছিল এবং একটা পাগড়ির মত ছিল।
Also I put on righteousness, and clothed myself with judgement like a mantle.
I was the eye of the blind, and the foot of the lame.
I was the father of the helpless; and I searched out the cause which I knew not.
And I broke the jaw teeth of the unrighteous; I plucked the spoil out of the midst of their teeth.
And I said, My age shall continue as the stem of a palm tree; I shall live a long while.
[My] root was spread out by the water, and the dew would lodge on my crop.
My glory was fresh in me, and by bow prospered in his hand.
[Men] heard me, and gave heed, and they were silent at my counsel.
At my word they spoke not again, and they were very gland whenever I spoke to them.
23 ২৩ তারা যেমন বৃষ্টির জন্য, তেমনি আমার জন্যও সবদিন অপেক্ষা করত; শেষের বর্ষার মত তারা আমার কথা পান করত।
As the thirsty earth expecting the rain, so they [waited for] my speech.
Were I to laugh on them, they would not believe [it]; and the light of my face has not failed.
25 ২৫ আমি তাদের পথ ঠিক করতাম এবং তাদের প্রধানের মত বসতাম; আমি রাজার মত বাঁচতাম তার সৈন্যদলে, ঠিক একজন ব্যক্তির মত যে শোক সভায় শোকার্তদের সান্ত্বনা দেয়।
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and lived as a king in the midst of warriors, as one comforting mourners.
