ಯೋಬನು 36
And Elihu proceeded and said,
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet words for God.
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Creator.
For truly my words shall be no falsehood: one perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Lo, God is mighty, but despiseth not [any]; mighty in strength of understanding:
He saveth not the wicked alive; but he doeth justice to the afflicted.
7 ೭ ನೀತಿವಂತರಿಂದ ತನ್ನ ಕಟಾಕ್ಷವನ್ನು ತಿರುಗಿಸದೆ, ಅರಸರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸಿಂಹಾಸನದ ಮೇಲೆ ಶಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿ ಕುಳಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ, ಉನ್ನತಪದವಿಗೆ ಅವರನ್ನು ತರುವನು.
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted.
And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction,
Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased.
10 ೧೦ ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣವನ್ನು ಕೇಳುವಂತೆ ಅವರ ಕಿವಿಗಳನ್ನು ತೆರೆದು, ಅಧರ್ಮವನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಆಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸುವನು.
And he openeth their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
11 ೧೧ ಅವರು ಅದನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ಆತನನ್ನು ಸೇವಿಸಿದರೆ, ತಮ್ಮ ದಿನಗಳನ್ನು ಸುಖದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ, ವರ್ಷಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂತೋಷದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಕಳೆಯುವರು.
If they hearken and serve [him], they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
But if they hearken not, they shall pass away by the sword, and expire without knowledge.
13 ೧೩ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಹೃದಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಂಬದಿರುವವರು ಸಿಟ್ಟುಗೊಂಡಿರುವರು, ಆತನು ಅವರನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸುವಾಗಲೂ ಆತನಿಗೆ ಮೊರೆಯಿಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
But the godless in heart heap up anger; they cry not when he bindeth them:
Their soul dieth in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
15 ೧೫ ಬಾಧೆಪಡುವವರನ್ನು ಅವರ ಬಾಧೆಗಳ ಮೂಲಕವೇ ರಕ್ಷಿಸುವನು, ಅವರು ಅನುಭವಿಸುವ ಹಿಂಸೆಯಿಂದಲೇ ಅವರ ಕಿವಿಯನ್ನು ತೆರೆಯುವನು.
But he delivereth the afflicted in his affliction, and openeth their ear in [their] oppression.
16 ೧೬ ಇದೇ ಮೇರೆಗೆ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನೂ ಕಷ್ಟದೊಳಗಿಂದ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿ, ಇಕ್ಕಟ್ಟಿಲ್ಲದ ವಿಶಾಲ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಬರಮಾಡಬೇಕೆಂದೂ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಜಿನ ಆಹಾರಗಳು ತುಪ್ಪದಿಂದ ತುಂಬಿರಬೇಕೆಂಬುದು ಆತನ ಉದ್ದೇಶವಾಗಿದೆ.
Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table [would be] full of fatness.
But thou art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].
18 ೧೮ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಿಟ್ಟು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಮರುಳುಗೊಳಿಸಿ ಕುಚೋದ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ನೂಕದಂತೆ ನೋಡಿಕೋ! ಕೊಡಬೇಕಾದ ಈಡು ದೊಡ್ಡದೆಂದು ಹಿಂದೆಗೆಯಬೇಡ!
Because there is wrath, [beware] lest it take thee away through chastisement: then a great ransom could not avail thee.
Will he esteem thy riches? Not gold, nor all the resources of strength!
Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off from their place.
Take heed, turn not to iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
Lo, God is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he?
Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men celebrate.
All men look at it; man beholdeth [it] afar off.
Lo, God is great, and we comprehend [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
For he draweth up the drops of water: they distil in rain from the vapour which he formeth,
Which the skies pour down [and] drop upon man abundantly.
But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the crashing of his pavilion?
Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
For with them he judgeth the peoples; he giveth food in abundance.
[His] hands he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike.
His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle even, concerning its coming.
