1. तब अरयूब यहोवा को उत्तर दिया;

1. Then Job answered and said to the Lord,

2. मैं जानता हूँ कि तू सब कुछ कर सकता है, और तेरी युक्तियों में से कोई रूक नहीं सकती।
मत्ती 19:26, मरकुस 10:27

2. I know that You can do all things, and nothing is impossible with You.

3. तू कौन है जो ज्ञान रहित होकर युक्ति पर परदा डालता है? परन्तु मैं ने तो जो नहीं समझता था वही कहा, अर्थात् जो बातें मेरे लिये अधिक कठिन और मेरी समझ से बाहर थीं जिनको मैं जानता भी नहीं था।

3. For who is he that hides counsel from You? Or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from You? And who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?

4. मैं निवेदन करता हूं सुन, मैं कुछ कहूंगा, मैं तुझ से प्रश्न करता हूँ, तू मुझे बता दे।

4. But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask You, and You shall teach me.

5. मैं कानों से तेरा समाचार सुना था, परन्तु अब मेरी आंखें तुझे देखती हैं;

5. I have heard the report of You by the ear before; but now my eye has seen You.

6. इसलिये मुझे अपने ऊपर घृणा आती है, और मैं धूलि और राख में पश्चात्ताप करता हूँ।

6. Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.

7. और ऐसा हुआ कि जब यहोवा ये बातें अरयूब से कह चुका, तब उस ने तेमानी एलीपज से कहा, मेरा क्रोध तेरे और तेरे दोनों मित्रों पर भड़का है, क्योंकि जैसी ठीक बात मेरे दास अरयूब ने मेरे विषय कही है, वैसी तुम लोगों ने नहीं कही।

7. And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, You have sinned, and your two friends, for you have not said anything true before Me, as My servant Job has.

8. इसलिये अब तुम सात बैल और सात मेढ़े छांटकर मेरे दास अरयूब के पास जाकर अपने निमित्त होमबलि चढ़ाओ, तब मेरा दास अरयूब तुम्हारे लिये प्रार्थना करेगा, क्योंकि उसी की मैं ग्रहण करूंगा; और नहीं, तो मैं तुम से तुम्हारी मूढ़ता के योग्य बर्ताव करूंगा, क्योंकि तुम लोगों ने मेरे विषय मेरे दास अरयूब की सी ठीक बात नहीं कही।

8. Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And My servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you have not spoken the truth against My servant Job.

9. यह सुन तेमानी एलीपज, शूही बिल्दद और नामाती सोपर ने जाकर यहोवा की आज्ञा के अनुसार किया, और यहोवा ने अरयूब की प्रार्थना ग्रहण की।

9. So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and He pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.

10. जब अरयूब ने अपने मित्रों के लिये प्रार्थना की, तब यहोरवा ने उसका सारा दु:ख दूर किया, और जितना अरयूब का पहिले था, उसका दुगना यहोवा ने उसे दे दिया।

10. And the Lord prospered Job. And when he prayed also for his friends, He forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even double of what he had before.

11. तब उसके सब भाई, और सब बहिनें, और जितने पहिले उसको जानते पहिचानते थे, उन सभों ने आकर उसके यहां उसके संग भोजन किया; और जितनी विपत्ति यहोवा ने उस पर डाली थी, उस सब के विषय उन्हों ने विलाप किया, और उसे शान्ति दी; और उसे एक एक सिक्का ओर सोने की एक एक बाली दी।

11. And all his brothers and sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and so did all that had known him from the first; and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas of gold, even of unstamped [gold].

12. और यहोवा ने अरयूब के पिछले दिनों में उसको अगले दिनों से अधिक आशीष दी; और उसके चौदह हजार भेंड़ बकरियां, छेहजार ऊंट, हजार जोड़ी बैल, और हजार गदहियां हो गई।

12. And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning: and his livestock consisted of fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys of the pastures.

13. और उसके सात बेटे ओर तीन बेटियां भी उत्पन्न हुई।

13. And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

14. इन में से उस ने जेठी बेटी का नाम तो यमीमा, दूसरी का कसीआ और तीसरी का केरेन्हप्पूक रखा।

14. And he called the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third was Keren-Happuch.

15. और उस सारे देश में एंसी स्त्रियां कहीं न थीं, जो अरयूब की बेटियों के समान सुन्दर हों, और उनके पिता ने उनको उनके भाइयों के संग ही सम्पत्ति दी।

15. And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

16. इसके बाद अरयूब एक सौ चालीस वर्ष जीवित रहा, और चार पीढ़ी तक अपना वंश देखने पाया।

16. And Job lived after his affliction one hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, [to] the fourth generation.

17. निदान अरयूब वृद्धावस्था में दीर्घायु होकर मर गया।

17. And Job died, an old man and full of days: [ 42:17A] and it is written that he will rise again with those whom the Lord raises up. [ 42:17B] This man is described in the Syriac book as living in the land of Uz, on the borders of Edom and Arabia: and his name before was Jobab; [ 42:17C] and having taken an Arabian wife, he begot a son whose name was Ennon. And he himself was the son of his father Zare, one of the sons of Esau, and of his mother Bosorrha, so that he was the fifth from Abraham. [ 42:17D] And these were the kings who reigned in Edom, which country he also ruled over: first, Balak, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dennaba: but after Balak, Jobab, who is called Job, and after him Asom, who was governor out of the country of Teman: and after him Adad, the son of Barad, who destroyed Midian in the plain of Moab; and the name of his city was Gethaim. [ 42:17E] And his friends who came to him were Eliphaz, of the children of Esau, king of the Thaemanites, Bildad sovereign of the Sauchaeans, and Zophar king of the Minaeans.
