ಯೋಬನು 29
So Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
2 ೨ “ಅಯ್ಯೋ ನಾನು ಹಿಂದಿನ ತಿಂಗಳುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದಂತೆ ಈಗಲೂ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಸಂತೋಷವಾಗಿತ್ತು! ಆ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಾಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದನಲ್ಲಾ!
Oh that I were as in times past, when God preserued me!
When his light shined vpon mine head: and when by his light I walked thorowe the darkenesse,
As I was in the dayes of my youth: when Gods prouidence was vpon my tabernacle:
When the almightie was yet with me, and my children round about me.
6 ೬ ಹಾಲು ತುಪ್ಪದಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಪಾದಗಳನ್ನು ತೊಳೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ, ಬಂಡೆಯು ನನಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಎಣ್ಣೆಯನ್ನು ಪ್ರವಾಹವಾಗಿ ಸುರಿಸುತ್ತಿತ್ತು.
When I washed my pathes with butter, and when the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle:
When I went out to the gate, euen to the iudgement seat, and when I caused them to prepare my seate in the streete.
The yong men saw me, and hid themselues, and the aged arose, and stood vp.
The princes stayed talke, and layde their hand on their mouth.
The voyce of princes was hidde, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.
And when the eare heard me, it blessed me: and when the eye sawe me, it gaue witnesse to me.
For I deliuered the poore that cryed, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish, came vpon me, and I caused the widowes heart to reioyce.
14 ೧೪ ನಾನು ಧರ್ಮವನ್ನು ಧರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡೆನು, ಧರ್ಮವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಧರಿಸಿತು. ನನ್ನ ನ್ಯಾಯವೇ ನನಗೆ ನಿಲುವಂಗಿಯೂ, ಕಿರೀಟವೂ ಆಗಿತ್ತು.
I put on iustice, and it couered me: my iudgement was as a robe, and a crowne.
I was the eyes to the blinde, and I was the feete to the lame.
I was a father vnto the poore, and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.
I brake also the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckt the praye out of his teeth.
18 ೧೮ ಆಗ ನಾನು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದೇನೆಂದರೆ, ‘ನನ್ನ ಗೂಡಿನಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನಾನು ಸಾಯುವೆನು, ನನ್ನ ದಿನಗಳು ಮರಳಿನಂತೆ ಅಸಂಖ್ಯವಾಗಿರುವವು.
Then I sayde, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.
19 ೧೯ ನನ್ನ ಬೇರುಗಳು ನೀರಿನವರೆಗೂ ವ್ಯಾಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವವು, ರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಬ್ಬನಿಯು ನನ್ನ ರೆಂಬೆಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಿದ್ದಿರುವುದು.
For my roote is spread out by the water, and the dewe shall lye vpon my branche.
My glory shall renue towarde me, and my bowe shall be restored in mine hand.
Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell.
After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them.
And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne.
If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.
25 ೨೫ ನಾನು ಅವರಿಗೆ ತಕ್ಕ ಮಾರ್ಗವನ್ನು ಆರಿಸಿಕೊಟ್ಟು, ತನ್ನ ಸೈನ್ಯಗಳ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತಿರುವ ರಾಜನಂತೆಯೂ, ದುಃಖಿತರನ್ನು ಸಂತೈಸುವ ಮುಖಂಡನಾಗಿ ಆಸೀನನಾಗಿದ್ದೆನು.”
I appoynted out their way, and did sit as chiefe, and dwelt as a King in the army, and like him that comforteth the mourners.
