Job 1

1 ଊଷ୍ ଦେଶ ରେ ଆୟୁବ ନାମ ରେ ଜଣେ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ବାସ କରୁଥିଲା। ଆୟୁବ ଜଣେ ଉତ୍ତମ ଓ ଧାର୍ମିକ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଥିଲା। ଆୟୁବ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉପାସନା କରିବା ବ୍ଯତୀତ ଅନ୍ୟ ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରକାର ମନ୍ଦ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯରୁ ବିରତ ରହୁଥିଲା।

2 ଆୟୁବର ସାତାଟେି ପୁତ୍ର ଓ ତିନୋଟି ଝିଅ ଥିଲେ।

3 ଆୟୁବ 7 ,000 ମେଣ୍ଢା, 3 ,000 ଓଟ, 1 ,000 ଷଣ୍ଢ ଏବଂ 500 ମାଇ ଗଧର ମାଲିକ ଥିଲା। ତା'ର ଅନକେ ଗୁଡ଼ିଏ ଭୃତ୍ଯ ଥିଲେ। ଆୟୁବ ପୂର୍ବାଞ୍ଚଳ ଦେଶମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ସବୁଠାରୁ ବେଶୀ ଧନୀ ଥିଲା।

4 ଆୟୁବର ପୁଅମାନେ ପାଳି ପାଳି କରି ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଘ ରେ ଭୋଜି ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କଲେ ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ତିନି ଭଉଣୀଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ଭୋଜିଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ୟୋଗ ଦବୋକୁ ନିମନ୍ତ୍ରଣ କଲେ।

5 ଆୟୁବ ଉତ୍ସବ ପରଦିନ ପ୍ରାତଃକାଳରୁ ଶୟ୍ଯା ତ୍ଯାଗ କରି ତା'ର ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପୁଅର ମଙ୍ଗଳ ପାଇଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ହାମବେଳି ଅର୍ପଣ କରୁଥିଲା। ସେ ଭାବୁଥିଲା, ମାେ ପିଲାମାନେ ହୁଏତ ହୃଦଯ ରେ ପାପକରି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଶାପ ଦଇେଥାଇ ପାରନ୍ତି। ଆୟୁବ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଥର ଏପରି କଲେ।

6 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସହିତ ସାକ୍ଷାତ ଲାଗି ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ସହେି ଦିନଟି ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା। ସହେି ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଶଯତାନ ମଧ୍ଯ ସଠାେରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା।

7 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଶଯତାନକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେଉଁଠାରୁ ଆସିଲ ?

8 ତା'ପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଶଯତାନକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାରେ ସବେକ ଆୟୁବକୁ ଦେଖିଛ କି ? ଆୟୁବ ଭଳି ଜଣେ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଏ ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ କହେି ନାହିଁ। ଆୟୁବ ଜଣେ ଉତ୍ତମ ଓ ଧାର୍ମିକ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଅଟେ। ସେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଉପାସନା କରେ ଏବଂ ମନ୍ଦକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିବାକୁ ପ୍ରତ୍ଯାଖାନ କରେ।

9 ଶଯତାନ ଉତ୍ତର ଦଲୋ, ନିଶ୍ଚଯ! କିନ୍ତୁ ଆୟୁବର ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଉପାସନା କରିବାର ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ କାରଣ ରହିଛି।

10 ଆପଣ ସବୁବେଳେ ଆୟୁବକୁ ସୁରକ୍ଷା ପ୍ରଦାନ କରନ୍ତି। ତା'ର ପରିବାରକୁ, ତା'ର ଯାହା କିଛି ନିଜର, ସବୁକୁ ଆପଣ ସୁରକ୍ଷା ଦିଅନ୍ତି। ସେ ଯେଉଁ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରେ ସବୁଥି ରେ ଆପଣ ତାକୁ କୃତକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରାନ୍ତି। ହଁ, ଆପଣ ତାକୁ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ ପ୍ରଦାନ କରନ୍ତି, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ସବୁଥି ରେ ସେ ଏତେ ଧନୀ ଯେ, ତା'ର ମଷେପଲ ଓ ଗୋପଲ ସାରଦେଶ ରେ ଥିଲେ।

11 ମୁଁ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରି କହିପା ରେ ଆପଣ ତା'ର ସର୍ବସ୍ବ ନଷ୍ଟ କରି ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ, ଆପଣ ଦେଖିବେ ସେ କିପରି ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ଅଭିଶାପ ଦବେ।

12 ତା'ପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଶଯତାନକୁ କହିଲେ, ଠିକ୍ ଅଛି, ତା'ର ଯାହାସବୁ ଅଛି, ସଗେୁଡ଼ିକ ସହିତ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେପରି ଚାହଁ କର, କିନ୍ତୁ ସହେି ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିକୁ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କର ନାହିଁ। ତା'ପରେ ଶଯତାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉପସ୍ଥିତିରୁ ଚାଲିଗଲା।

13 ଗୋଟିଏ ଦିନ ଭୋଜି ମଧିଅରେ, ଆୟୁବର ପୁଅ ଓ ଝିଅମାନେ ବଡ଼ ଭାଇର ଘ ରେ ଏକତ୍ର ଖାଇବା ସହିତ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପାନ କରୁଥିଲେ।

14 ଏହି ସମୟରେ ଜଣେ ସମ୍ବାଦବାହକ ଆୟୁବକୁ ଖବର ଦଲୋ, ବଳଦମାନେ ଜମି ରେ ହଳ କରୁଥିବା ବେଳେ, ଗଧଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ନିକଟରେ ଚରୁଥିଲେ।

15 ଶିବାଯୀଯମାନେ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କଲେ ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭଠାରୁ ସମସ୍ତ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ନଇଗେଲେ। ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ଖଡ୍ଗ ରେ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ। ମୁଁ ହେଉଛି କବଳେ ଏକମାତ୍ର ୟିଏ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଛି ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଏ ବିଷଯ ରେ କହିବାକୁ।

16 ସେ କଥା କହୁଥିବା ବେଳେ, ଆଉ ଜଣେ ବାର୍ତ୍ତାବହ ଆସିଲା ଏବଂ କହିଲା, ଆକାଶରୁ ବିଜୁଳି ପଡ଼ି ତୁମ୍ଭର ମେଣ୍ଢା ଓ ଛଳେି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କୁ ପୋଡ଼ି ଦଲୋ। ମୁଁ କବଳେ ଏକମାତ୍ର ୟିଏ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଛି ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଏହି ବିଷଯ ରେ କହିବା ପାଇଁ।

17 ସେ କଥା କହୁଥିବା ବେଳେ, ଆଉ ଜଣେ ବାର୍ତ୍ତାବହ ଆସିଲା ଏବଂ କହିଲା, କଲଦୀଯମାନେ ତିନି ଦଳ ସୈନିକଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରିଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ଓଟମାନଙ୍କୁ ନଇେ ଗଲେ ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ଭୃତ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ଖଡ୍ଗ ରେ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ। ମୁଁ କବଳେ ଏକମାତ୍ର ୟିଏ ଏ ବିଷଯ ରେ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ କହିବା ପାଇଁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଅଛି।

18 ସେ କଥା କହୁଥିବା ବେଳେ, ଅନ୍ୟ ଜଣେ ବାର୍ତ୍ତାବହ ଆସି କହିଲା, ଆପଣଙ୍କ ପୁଅ-ଝିଅମାନେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ବଡ ଭାଇର ଘ ରେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପାନ ଓ ଖାଇବା ରେ ବ୍ଯସ୍ତଥିଲେ

19 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଏକ ଝଡ଼ ମରୁଭୂମି ଆଡ଼ୁ ଆସିଲା ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କର ଘରକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ଦଲୋ। ଏବଂ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ପୁଅ ଝିଅମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ପଡ଼ି ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ମାରି ଦଲୋ। ମୁଁ କବଳେ ଏକମାତ୍ର ୟିଏ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ଏହା କହିବାକୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଛି।

20 ଆୟୁବ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଏସବୁ ଶୁଣିଲା ସେ ନିଜର ପୋଷାକପତ୍ର ଚିରି ଦଲୋ ଏବଂ ଦୁଃଖ ଓ ଗ୍ଲାନି ରେ ଲଣ୍ଡା ହାଇପେଡ଼ିଲା। ତା'ପରେ ଆୟୁବ ଭୂମିରେ ବସି ପଡ଼ି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଉପାସନା କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲା।

21 ସେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରି କହିଲା,

22 ଏତେ ସବୁ ଘଟିଲା ପରେ ଆୟୁବ ପାପ କଲା ନାହିଁ ଏବଂ ପରମେଶ୍ବର କିଛି ଭୁଲ କରିଛନ୍ତି ବୋଲି ସେ କହିଲା ନାହିଁ।

1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.

13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:

14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:

19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Leviticus 2 in Tamil and English

1 ஒருவன் போஜனபலியாகிய காணிக்கையைக் கர்த்தருக்குச் செலுத்தவேண்டுமானால், அவன் காணிக்கை மெல்லிய மாவாயிருப்பதாக; அவன் அதின்மேல் எண்ணெய் வார்த்து, அதின்மேல் தூபவர்க்கம் போட்டு,
And when any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

2 அதை ஆரோனின் குமாரராகிய ஆசாரியர்களிடத்தில் கொண்டுவருவானாக; அப்பொழுது ஆசாரியன் அந்த மாவிலும் எண்ணெயிலும் ஒரு கைப்பிடி நிறைய தூபவர்க்கம் எல்லாவற்றோடும் எடுத்து, அதைப் பலிபீடத்தின்மேல் ஞாபகக்குறியாகத் தகனிக்கக்கடவன்; அது கர்த்தருக்குச் சுகந்த வாசனையான தகனபலி.
And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord:

3 அந்தப் போஜனபலியில் மீதியாயிருப்பது ஆரோனையும் அவன் குமாரரையும் சேரும்; கர்த்தருக்கு இடும் தகனபலிகளில் இது மகா பரிசுத்தமானது.
And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

4 நீ படைப்பது அடுப்பில் பாகம்பண்ணப்பட்ட போஜனபலியானால், அது எண்ணெயிலே பிசைந்த மெல்லிய மாவினால் செய்த புளிப்பில்லா அதிரசங்களாயாவது, எண்ணெய் பூசப்பட்ட புளிப்பில்லா அடைகளாயாவது இருப்பதாக.
And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

5 நீ படைப்பது தட்டையான சட்டியில் பாகம்பண்ணப்பட்ட போஜனபலியானால், அது எண்ணெயிலே பிசைந்த புளிப்பில்லா மெல்லிய மாவினால் செய்யப்பட்டதாயிருப்பதாக.
And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

6 அதைத் துண்டு துண்டாகப் பிட்டு, அதின்மேல் எண்ணெய் வார்ப்பாயாக; இது ஒரு போஜனபலி.
Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.

7 நீ படைப்பது பொரிக்குஞ் சட்டியில் பாகம்பண்ணப்பட்ட போஜனபலியானால், அது எண்ணெயிலே பிசைந்த மெல்லிய மாவினால் செய்யப்படுவதாக.
And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

8 இப்படிச் செய்யப்பட்ட போஜனபலியைக் கர்த்தருக்குச் செலுத்துவாயாக; அது ஆசாரியனிடத்தில் கொண்டுவரப்படும்போது, அவன் அதைப் பலிபீடத்தண்டையில் கொண்டுவந்து,
And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the Lord: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.

9 அந்தப் போஜனபலியிலிருந்து ஆசாரியன் ஞாபகக் குறியாக ஒரு பங்கை எடுத்துப் பலிபீடத்தின்மேல் தகனிக்கக்கடவன்; இது கர்த்தருக்குச் சுகந்த வாசனையான தகனபலி.
And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

10 இந்தப் போஜனபலியில் மீதியானது ஆரோனையும் அவன் குமாரரையும் சேரும்; கர்த்தருக்கு இடும் தகனங்களில் இது மகா பரிசுத்தமானது.
And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

11 நீங்கள் கர்த்தருக்குச் செலுத்தும் எந்த போஜனபலியும் புளித்தமாவினால் செய்யப்படாதிருப்பதாக; புளித்தமாவுள்ளதொன்றையும் தேனுள்ளதொன்றையும் கர்த்தருக்குத் தகனபலியாகத் தகனிக்கவேண்டாம்.
No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire.

12 முதற்கனிகளைக் காணிக்கையாகக் கொண்டுவந்து, அவைகளைக் கர்த்தருக்குச் செலுத்தலாம்; ஆனாலும், பலிபீடத்தின்மேல் அவைகள் சுகந்த வாசனையாகத் தகனிக்கப்படலாகாது.
As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.

13 நீ படைக்கிற எந்த போஜனபலியும் உப்பினால் சாரமாக்கப்படுவதாக; உன் தேவனின் உடன்படிக்கையின் உப்பை உன் போஜனபலியிலே குறைவிடாமல், நீ படைப்பது எல்லாவற்றோடும் உப்பையும் படைப்பாயாக.
And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

14 முதற்பலன்களை போஜனபலியாக நீ கர்த்தருக்குச் செலுத்தவந்தால், நிறைந்த பச்சையான கதிர்களை நெருப்பிலே வாட்டி உதிர்த்து, அதை உன் முதற்பலனின் போஜனபலியாக கொண்டுவரக்கடவாய்.
And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

15 அதின்மேல் எண்ணெய் வார்த்து, அதின்மேல் தூபவர்க்கத்தைப் போடுவாயாக; இது ஒரு போஜனபலி.
And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.

16 பின்பு ஆசாரியன், உதிர்த்த தானியத்திலும் எண்ணெயிலும் எடுத்து, ஞாபகக் குறியான பங்கை அதின் தூபவர்க்கம் எல்லாவற்றோடுங்கூடத் தகனிக்கக்கடவன்; இது கர்த்தருக்கு இடும் தகனபலி.
And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
