ইয়োবের বিবরণ 33
Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and hearken to my speech.
For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken.
My heart [shall be found] pure by [my] words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity.
The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me.
If thou canst, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I [will stand] against thee.
Thou art formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same [substance].
My fear shall not terrify thee, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
But thou hast said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of thy words; ) because thou sayest, I am pure, not having sinned;
I am blameless, for I have not transgressed.
Yet he has discovered a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary.
And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways.
For how sayest thou, I am righteous, yet he has not hearkened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal.
But thou sayest, Why has he not heard every word of my cause?
For when the Lord speaks once, or a second time,
[sending] a dream, or in the meditation of the night; (as when a dreadful alarm happens to fall upon men, in slumberings on the bed: )
then opens he the understanding of men: he scares them with such fearful visions:
to turn a man from unrighteousness, and he delivers his body from a fall.
He spares also his soul from death, and [suffers] him not to fall in war.
And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones is benumbed.
And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat;
21 ২১ তা মাংস ক্ষয়ে চলে যায় যাতে তা দেখা না যায়; তার হাড়, একদিন দেখা যেত না, কিন্তু এখন বেরিয়ে পড়েছে।
until his flesh shall be consumed, and he shall shew his bones bare.
His soul also draws nigh to death, and his life is in Hades.
23 ২৩ কিন্তু যদি সেখানে কোন স্বর্গদূত থাকে যে তার মধ্যস্থকারী হতে পারে, একজন মধ্যস্থকারী, একজন হাজার জনের মধ্যে থেকে, তাকে দেখাতে কোনটা ঠিক কাজ,
Though there should be a thousand messengers of death, not one of them shall wound him: if he should purpose in his heart to turn to the Lord, and declare to man his fault, and shew his folly;
24 ২৪ এবং যদি সেই স্বর্গদূত তার প্রতি সদয় হন এবং ঈশ্বরকে বলেন, এই লোকটিকে গর্তে নেমে যাওয়া থেকে রক্ষা করুন; আমি প্রায়শ্চিত্ত পেয়েছি,
he will support him, that he should not perish, and will restore his body as [fresh] plaster upon a wall; and he will fill his bones with morrow.
And he will make his flesh tender as that of a babe, and he will restore him among men in [his] full strength.
26 ২৬ সে ঈশ্বরের কাছে প্রার্থনা করবে এবং ঈশ্বর তার প্রতি সদয় হবেন, যাতে সে আনন্দের সাথে ঈশ্বরের মুখ দেখে। ঈশ্বর সেই লোককে তাঁর ধার্ম্মিকতা দেবেন।
And he shall pray to the Lord, and his prayer shall be accepted of him; he shall enter with a cheerful countenance, with a full expression [of praise]: for he will render to men [their] due.
27 ২৭ তখন সেই লোক অন্য সমস্ত লোকের সামনে গান করবে এবং বলবে, আমি পাপ করেছি এবং যা ঠিক ছিল তা বিকৃত করেছি, কিন্তু আমার পাপের জন্য কোন শাস্তি পাইনি।
Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, What kind of things have I done? and he has not punished me according to the full amount of my sins.
Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, and my life shall see the light.
Behold, all these things, the Mighty One works in a threefold manner with a man.
And he has delivered my soul from death, that my life may praise him in the light.
Hearken, Job, and hear me: be silent, and I will speak.
If thou hast words, answer me: speak, for I desire thee to be justified.
If not, do thou hear me: be silent, and I will teach thee.
