ইয়োবের বিবরণ 38
Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind,
"Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3 ৩ তুমি এখন পরুষের মত তোমার কোমর বাঁধ, কারণ আমি তোমায় প্রশ্ন করব এবং তুমি অবশ্যই আমায় উত্তর দেবে।
Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me.
4 ৪ যখন আমি পৃথিবীর ভিত স্থাপন করছিলাম তখন তুমি কোথায় ছিলে? যদি তোমার অনেক বুদ্ধি থাকে, তবে আমায় বল।
"Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?
Whereupon were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
"Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth from the womb,
when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,
marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,
11 ১১ এবং যখন আমি এটাকে বললাম, তুমি এই পর্যন্ত আসতে পার, কিন্তু তার বেশি নয়; এখানে তোমার গর্বের ঢেউ থামবে।
and said, 'Here you may come, but no further. Here your proud waves shall be stayed?'
12 ১২ তোমার জন্মের দিন থেকে, তুমি কি কখনও, ভোর শুরু হওয়ার আদেশ দিয়েছ এবং ভোরকে কি তার জায়গা জানিয়েছ।
"Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place;
that it might take hold of the farthest parts of the earth, and shake the wicked out of it?
14 ১৪ কাদামাটি যেমন সিলমোহরের দ্বারা পরিবর্তিত হয় তেমন পৃথিবীর আকার পরিবর্তিত হয়েছে; ভাঁজ করা কাপড়ের মত এটার ওপর সমস্ত জিনিস পরিষ্কার ভাবে প্রকাশ পায়।
It is changed as clay under the seal, and stands forth as a garment.
From the wicked, their light is withheld. The high arm is broken.
"Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?
Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
Have you comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if you know it all.
"What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,
20 ২০ তুমি কি আলো এবং অন্ধকারকে তাদের কাজের জায়গায় পরিচালনা করতে পার? তুমি কি তাদের জন্য তাদের ঘরের রাস্তা পেতে পার?
that you should take it to its bound, that you should discern the paths to its house?
Surely you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great.
Have you entered the treasuries of the snow, or have you seen the treasures of the hail,
which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
By what way is the lightning distributed, or the east wind scattered on the earth?
Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunderstorm;
To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; on the wilderness, in which there is no man;
to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, to cause the tender grass to spring forth?
Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?
Out of whose womb came the ice? The gray frost of the sky, who has given birth to it?
The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.
"Can you fasten the chains of Kimah, or loosen the cords of Kesil?
32 ৩২ তুমি কি নক্ষত্রপুঞ্জকে তাদের সঠিক দিনের প্রকাশ পেতে চালনা দিতে পার? তুমি কি ভাল্লুককে তার বাচ্চাদের সঙ্গে পথ দেখাতে পার?
Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or can you lead Aysh with her children?
Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you establish its dominion over the earth?
"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover you?
Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, 'Here we are?'
Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?
Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of the sky,
when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods of earth stick together?
"Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?
41 ৪১ কে দাঁড়কাককে শিকার যুগিয়ে দেয়, যখন তাদের বাচ্চারা ঈশ্বরের কাছে চিত্কার করে এবং খাবারের অভাবের জন্য ঘুরতে থাকে?
Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?
