Job 12:1-21 in Oriya

1 And Job answered and said,

2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.

14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.

17 He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.

18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.

19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.

1 ତା'ପରେ ଆୟୁବ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦଇେ କହିଲା,
And Job answered and said,

2 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭାବୁଛ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କବଳେ ଜ୍ଞାନୀ ଲୋକ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭାବୁଛ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମରିଗଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଜ୍ଞାନ ମଧ୍ଯ ମରିୟିବ।
No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

3 କିନ୍ତୁ ମାରେ ମନ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମନ ଭଳି ଭଲ। ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଠାରୁ ନ୍ଯୁନ ନୁହେଁ। ଯେ କୌଣସି ଲୋକ ଏହା ସତ୍ଯ ବୋଲି ଦେଖିପାରିବ।
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

4 ମୁଁ ମାରେ ବନ୍ଧୁମାନଙ୍କର ହାସ୍ଯାସ୍ପଦର ପାତ୍ର ହାଇେଅଛି। ସମାନେେ କୁହନ୍ତି : ସେ 'ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଡ଼ାକିଲା ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତାକୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ। ସେଥିପାଇଁ ଏପରି ସବୁ ଅମଙ୍ଗଳ ତାକୁ ଘଟିଲା।' ମୁଁ ଜଣେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି, ମୁଁ ସରଳ ତଥାପି ସମାନେେ ମାେତେ ଦେଖି ହସନ୍ତି।
I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

5 ମଶାଲ ତା' ପାଇଁ ଆବଶ୍ଯକ ନାହିଁ ୟିଏ ନିଜକୁ ସୁରକ୍ଷିତ ବୋଲି ଭାବେ। ଏହା ସହେିମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଉପ ଯୋଗୀ, ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କର ପାଦ ଖସି ଯାଉଛି।
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

6 ଡ଼କାଯତମାନଙ୍କ ତମ୍ବୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସୁରକ୍ଷିତ ଅଟେ। ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ବିରକ୍ତ କରାନ୍ତି, ସମାନେେ ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ରହନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବଳ ହେଉଛି ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପରମେଶ୍ବର।
The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

7 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜନ୍ତୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଚାର ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦବେେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆକାଶର ପକ୍ଷୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଚାର ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହିବେ।
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

8 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପୃଥିବୀକୁ ପଚାର ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମୁଦ୍ରର ମାଛକୁ ପଚାର ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଜ୍ଞାନ କଥା କହିବ।
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

9 ଏକଥା ସମସ୍ତେ ଜାଣନ୍ତି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏସବୁ ସୃଷ୍ଟି କରିଛନ୍ତି।
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

10 ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଜୀବନ୍ତ ପ୍ରାଣୀ ଓ ନିଶ୍ବାସ ନଇେ ବଞ୍ଚୁଥିବା ମଣିଷସବୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ତିର ଅଧୀନ ରେ।
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

11 କିନ୍ତୁ ଜିହ୍ବା ଯେପରି ଖାଦ୍ୟର ସ୍ବାଦ ବାରିପା ରେ। କାନ ସପରେି ଶୁଣୁଥିବା ଶବ୍ଦକୁ ବାରିପା ରେ।
Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

12 ତେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ କହୁଛୁ, 'ଜ୍ଞାନ ବୃଦ୍ଧ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଅଛି। ବୁଝାମଣା ଦୀର୍ଘଜୀବନ ବଢ଼ାଏ।'
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

13 କିନ୍ତୁ ଜ୍ଞାନ ଓ ଶକ୍ତି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଅଛି। ସଦୁପଦେଶ ଓ ବୁଝିବା ଶକ୍ତି ତାଙ୍କର ଅଛି।
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.

14 ଯଦି ପରମେଶ୍ବର କିଛି ଚିରି ଦିଅନ୍ତି, ଲୋକେ ତାହାକୁ ଆଉ ପୁଣି ତିଆରି କରିପାରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ଯଦି ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଜଣକୁ ବନ୍ଦୀଗୃହ ରେ ପକାଇ ଦିଅନ୍ତି, ଲୋକେ ଚେଷ୍ଟାକରି ମଧ୍ଯ ତାକୁ ମୁକୁଳାଇ ପାରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

15 ଯେତବେେଳେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ବର୍ଷାକୁ ରଦ୍ଦ କରନ୍ତି, ତା' ହେଲେ ପୃଥିବୀ ଶୁଷ୍କ ହାଇୟୋଏ ଏବଂ ସେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ବର୍ଷା ଛାଡ଼ି ଦିଅନ୍ତି, ତା' ହେଲେ ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ବନ୍ଯା ହାଇୟୋଏ।
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

16 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବଳଶାଳୀ, ସବୁଠା ରେ ତାଙ୍କର ବିଜଯ ସୁନିଶ୍ଚିତ। ତେଣୁ ହାରିବା ଓ ଜିତିବା ସବୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ନିର୍ଭର କରେ।
With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.

17 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ପରାମର୍ଶଦାତାମାନଙ୍କର ଜ୍ଞାନକୁ ହରଣ କରି ନିଅନ୍ତି ଓ ନେତା ବା ବିଚାରକମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିର୍ବୋଧ ରେ ପରିଣତ କରନ୍ତି।
He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.

18 ରାଜା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ବନ୍ଦୀ ଗୃହ ରେ ନିକ୍ଷପେ କରନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ମୁକ୍ତି ଦଇେ ଆହୁରି ଅଧିକ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ କରି ଦିଅନ୍ତି।
He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.

19 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଯାଜକମାନଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ତିକୁ ହରଣ କରି ନିଅନ୍ତି ଓ ଅଧିକ ପରାକ୍ରମଶାଳୀ ପାରିଷଦମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରନ୍ତି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ କି ନିଜକୁ ସବୁଠାରୁ ନିରାପଦ ମନକରେନ୍ତି।
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

20 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ବିଶ୍ବସ୍ତ ପରାମର୍ଶଦାତାମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ଚୁପ କରାଇ ଦିଅନ୍ତି ଓ ବୃଦ୍ଧ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ବୁଦ୍ଧିକୁ ହରଣ କରି ନିଅନ୍ତି।
He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

21 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ନେତାମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁଚ୍ଛ କରି ଦିଅନ୍ତି। ସେ ଶାସକଠାରୁ କ୍ଷମତା ମଧ୍ଯ ଛଡ଼ାଇ ନିଅନ୍ତି।
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
