ayyoob 42:1-17
42 tab ayyoob ne yahova se kaha,
2 “ab main jaan gaya hoon ki tu sabkuch kar sakta hai,aisa koi kaam nahin jo toone socha ho aur use poora na kar sake.+
3 toone poochha tha, ‘yah kaun hai jo bina kuch jaane meri salah ko tod-marod raha hai?’+
main hi woh insan hoon jisne bina soche-samjhe baatein kin,un anokhi baaton ke baare mein kaha, jinhein main sahi-sahi nahin jaanta.+
4 toone kaha tha, ‘ab zara meri baat par dhyan de,
main tujhse saval karoonga aur tu mujhe bata.’+
5 aaj tak mainne tere baare mein suna tha,par ab tujhe dekh bhi liya hai.
6 isliye main apne shabd vaapas leta hoon,+dhool aur raakh mein baithkar pashchatap karta hoon.”+
7 jab yahova ayyoob se baat kar chuka to yahova ne temani eleepaj se kaha,
“tujh par aur tere donon saathiyon+ par mera krodh bhadak utha hai. kyonki tum logon ne mere baare mein sach nahin kaha+ jabki mere sevak ayyoob ne mere baare mein sach kaha.
8 ab saat bail aur saat medhe le aur mere sevak ayyoob ke paas jaa. vahaan tum log apne liye hom-bali chadhana aur mera sevak ayyoob tumhare liye prarthna karega.+ haalanki tumne mere sevak ayyoob ki tarah mere baare mein sach nahin kaha, fir bhi uski binti sunkar main tumhari moorkhta ki saza tumhein nahin doonga.”
9 tab temani eleepaj, shoohi bildad aur naamati sopar ne vahi kiya, jo yahova ne kaha tha. aur yahova ne ayyoob ki prarthna kabool ki.
10 jab ayyoob ne apne saathiyon ke liye prarthna ki,+ tab yahova ne ayyoob ka saara dukh door kar diya+ aur uski khushhali lauta di.* ayyoob ke paas pehale jo kuch tha, yahova ne uska dugna use diya.+
11 uske sabhi bhaai-behen aur purane dost+ uske ghar usse milne aaye aur unhonne uske saath khaana khaaya. yahova ki ijazat se us par jo bhi museebatein aayi thi, uske liye unhonne ayyoob se hamdardi jatayi aur use dilasa diya. harek ne tohfe mein use chaandi ka ek tukda aur sone ki ek baali di.
12 yahova ne ayyoob ko uske pehale ke dinon se zyada aasheesh di.+ uske paas 14,000 bhedein, 6,000 unt, 2,000* gaay-bail aur 1,000 gadhiyaan ho gayin.+
13 ayyoob ke saat bete aur huye. iske alava, uski teen aur betiyaan huin.+
14 usne pehali beti ka naam yameema, doosri ka kaseea aur teesri ka keren-happook rakha.
15 unke jaisi khoobsoorat ladkiyaan poore desh mein kahin na thi. ayyoob ne apne beton ke saath-saath apni betiyonn ko bhi jaaydad ka hissa diya.
16 ayyoob 140 saal aur jeeya. usne apne bachchon aur parpoton ko bhi dekha, kul milakar usne chaar peedhiyaan dekhin.
17 ek lambee aur khushhal zindagi jeene ke baad* ayyoob ki maut ho gayi.
