Job 26
1 પછી અયૂબે ઉત્તર આપ્યો અને કહ્યું કે:
2 “હા, તમે ખૂબ પ્રોત્સાહન આપનારા છો અને તમે મારા દુર્બળ હાથને મજબૂત બનાવ્યા છે. બિલ્દાદ, સોફાર અને અલીફાઝ, તમે આ થાકેલા, પજવાયેલા માણસને ખુબ મદદ કર્તા રહ્યાં છો!
3 હા, તમે શાણપણ વગરના આ માણસને અદભૂત શિખામણ આપી ! તમે ખરેખર દેખાડ્યું, તમે કેવા જ્ઞાની છો!
4 તમે કોની મદદથી બોલો છો? તમને કોના આત્માએ પ્રેરણા આપી છે?”
5 પૃથ્વી તળે તથા પાણીમાં તે મરેલાઓના આત્મા ભયથી ૂજે છે.
6 દેવની સમક્ષ શેઓલ ઉઘાડું છે, અને વિનાશને કોઇ ઢાંકણ નથી.
7 દેવ ઉત્તરને ખાલી આકાશમાં ફેલાવે છે અને પૃથ્વીને શૂન્યાવકાશ પર લટકાવી છે.
8 એમણે ગાઢ વાદળામાં પાણી ભર્યું છે અને છતાં પાણીના ભારથી વાદળ ફૂંટતા નથી.
9 દેવ આખા રાજ્યાસનને ઢાંકી દે છે. તે તેના પર વાદળાંઓ પાથરી અને સંતાડી દે છે.
10 દેવે સમુદ્ર પર જે જગ્યાએ પ્રકાશ અને અંધકાર મળે છે, ગોળાકાર જેવી ક્ષિતિજ અંકિત કરી.
11 જ્યારે દેવ તેઓને ડરાવે છે, આકાશના આધારસ્તંભો હાલવા લાગે છે.
12 દેવની શકિત સમુદ્રને શાંત કરે છે. પોતાના ડહાપણથી તેણે રહાબનોનાશ કર્યો છે.
13 એમના શ્વાસથી આકાશ સ્વચ્છ રહે છે, એમણે એમના બળથી ભાગી જતાં સાપને હણ્યો છે.
14 આ તો માત્ર થોડીકજ અદભૂત ચીજો દેવ કરે છે. આપણે તો માત્ર દેવનો મંદ ગણગણાટ જ સાંભળીએ છીએ. કોઇ ખરેખર જાણી શકતું નથી કે દેવ કેવા મહાન અને શકિતશાળી છે.”
1 But Job answered and said,
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Zechariah 2 in Tamil and English
1 তারপর আমি চোখ তুলে চেয়ে দেখলাম মাপার ফিতে হাতে একজন মানুষ|
I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 আমি জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, “আপনি কোথায যাচ্ছেন?”তিনি আমায় বললেন, “আমি জেরুশালেম মেপে দেখতে চাই তা দৈর্ঘ্যে ও প্রস্থে কতখানি|”
Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 তখন য়ে দেবদূতটি আমার সঙ্গে কথা বলেছিলেন তিনি চলে গেলেন এবং আরেকটি দেবদূত তাঁর সঙ্গে কথা বলবার জন্য এগিয়ে এলেন|
And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 তিনি তাকে বললেন, “দৌড়ে গিয়ে সেই যুবকদের বল য়ে জেরুশালেম মাপার পক্ষে অতিশয বড়| তার কাছে গিয়ে এই কথাগুলো বল:‘জেরুশালেম হবে প্রাচীরবিহীন একটি শহর কারণ জেরুশালেমে বসবাসকারী মানুষ ও পশুর সংখ্যা হবে অনেক|’
And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
5 প্রভু বলেছেন, ‘আমি শহরের চারধারে একটি আগুনের প্রাচীর তৈরী করে তাকে রক্ষা করব| এবং সেই শহরের মহিমা আনয়ণ করবার জন্য আমি সেখানে বাস করব|”‘
For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 প্রভু বলেছেন, “তাড়াতাড়ি কর, উত্তরে অবস্থিত দেশটি ত্যাগ কর! হ্যাঁ, এটা সত্যি য়ে আমি তোমার লোকেদের চতুর্দ্দিকে ছড়িয়ে দিয়েছিলাম|”
Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.
7 ওহে সিয়োনের লোকেরা, যারা বাবিলে বাস করছ, তোমাদের প্রাণ বাঁচাতে এ জায়গা ছেড়ে যাও| ঐ শহর ছেড়ে পালাও! সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভুই এই কথা বলেছেন| তিনি আমাকে সেই জাতিগুলির মধ্যে পাঠিয়েছেন যারা তোমাদের লুঠ করেছিল| তিনি আমাকে পাঠিয়েছেন তোমাদের কাছে সম্মান আনতে|
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 কারণ তোমাদের আঘাত করা, ঈশ্বরের চোখের মণিকে আঘাত করবার তুল্য|
For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 বাবিলের লোকেরা আমার লোকেদের কারারুদ্ধ করেছিল এবং তাদের এীতদাস বানিয়েছিল| কিন্তু আমি তাদের আঘাত করলে তারা আমার লোকেদের দাস হয়ে যাবে| তখন তোমরা জানবে য়ে সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভুই আমায় পাঠিয়েছেন|”
For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
10 প্রভু বলেছেন, “সিয়োন, আনন্দ করো এবং সুখী হও! কারণ আমি আসছি এবং আমি তোমার শহরে বাস করব|
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
11 সেই সময়ে বহু জাতি আমার কাছে আসবে| তারা আমার লোক হবে এবং আমি তোমার শহরে বাস করব|” আর তুমি জানবে য়ে সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভু আমায় তোমার কাছে পাঠিয়েছেন|”
And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 প্রভু জেরুশালেমকে তাঁর বিশেষ শহর হিসেবে আবার মনোনীত করবেন| যিহূদা হবে পবিত্র ভূমিতে তাঁর অংশ|
And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 প্রত্যেকে নীরব হও! প্রভু তাঁর পবিত্র আবাস হতে আসছেন|
Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
