বিচারকচরিত 16
1 একদিন শিম্শোন ঘসা শহরে গেল| সেখানে সে একজন গণিকাকে দেখতে পেল| তার কাছে এক রাত্রি সে থাকতে গেল|
2 কেউ একজন ঘসার বাসিন্দাদের বলল, “শিম্শোন এখানে এসেছে|” তারা শিম্শোনকে হত্যা করতে চেয়েছিল| তাই তারা শহরটা ঘিরে ফেলল| ওরা শিমশোনের জন্য লুকিয়ে থেকে অপেক্ষা করতে লাগল| সারারাত তারা শহরের ফটকের পাশে চুপচাপ জেগে রইল| তারা বলাবলি করতে লাগল, “সকাল হলেই আমরা শিম্শোনকে বধ করব|”
3 কিন্তু শিম্শোন গণিকার সঙ্গে মাঝরাত পর্য়ন্ত থাকল| মাঝরাতে সে উঠে পড়ল| শহরের ফটকের দরজা চেপে ধরে সে দেওয়াল থেকে টেনে দরজা আলগা করে দিল| তারপর সে খুলে নিল দরজা, দুটো খুঁটি, দরজা বন্ধ করার খিল| এগুলো সে কাঁধে নিয়ে হিব্রোণ শহরের কাছে পাহাড়ের মাথায় উঠে গেল|
4 পরে শিম্শোন দলীলা নামে এক নারীর প্রেমে পড়ল| দলীলা থাকত সোরেক উপত্যকায়|
5 পলেষ্টীয় শাসকরা দলীলার কাছে গিয়ে বলল, “শিম্শোন কিসে এত শক্তিশালী হয় আমরা জানতে চাই| তুমি কাযদা করে তার এই গোপন রহস্যটা জেনে নিতে চেষ্টা কর| তাহলে তাকে কি করে ধরে বেঁধে ফেলা যায় তা আমরা জানব| তাহলেই তাকে আমরা ইচ্ছামত চালাতে পারব| যদি এটা করতে পার তাহলে আমরা প্রত্যেকে তোমাকে 28 পাউণ্ড করে রূপো পুরস্কার দেব|”
6 সেই মতো দলীলা শিম্শোনকে বলল, “আচ্ছা বলো তো, তুমি কি করে এত শক্তি পেলে? কিভাবে তোমাকে বেঁধে ফেলে বেকাযদায ফেলা যায়?”
7 শিম্শোন বলল, “নতুন সাতটা ধনুক বাঁধা দড়ি যে দড়িগুলো শুকনো নয়, তাই দিয়ে আমায় বেঁধে ফেলতে হবে| যদি কেউ তা পারে তাহলেই আমি আর পাঁচজনের মতো দুর্বল হতে পারব|”
8 পলেষ্টীয়রা একথা শুনে সাতটা নতুন ধনুক বাঁধা দড়ি দলীলাকে এনে দিল| সেই ধনুক বাঁধা দড়ি তখনও শুকিয়ে যায় নি| দলীলা সেই দড়ি দিয়ে শিম্শোনকে বেঁধে ফেলল|
9 কিছু লোক পাশের ঘরে লুকিয়ে ছিল| দলীলা শিম্শোনকে বলল, “শিম্শোন, পলেষ্টীয়রা তোমাকে ধরে ফেলতে যাচ্ছে|” কিন্তু শিম্শোন সহজেই দড়িগুলো খুলে ফেলল| আগুনের শিখার খুব কাছে এলে একটা সূতো যেমন হয় তেমনি করে দড়িগুলো খসে পড়ল| সুতরাং পলেষ্টীয়রা শিম্শোনের শক্তির রহস্য ভেদ করতে পারল না|
10 দলীলা শিম্শোনকে বলল, “তুমি আমাকে মিথ্যে কথা বলেছ| তুমি আমাকে বোকা বানিয়েছ| এখন বলো তো, কি করে লোক তোমাকে বেঁধে ফেলতে পারে?”
11 শিম্শোন বলল, “আমাকে নতুন দড়ি দিয়ে বাঁধতে হবে| সেই দড়ি যেন আগে কেউ ব্যবহার না করে| এরকম দড়ি দিয়ে কেউ আমাকে বাঁধলে আমি আর পাঁচজনের মতো দুর্বল হয়ে যাবো|”
12 দলীলা কয়েকটা নতুন দড়ি দিয়ে শিম্শোনকে বেঁধে ফেলল| পাশের ঘরে কিছু লোক লুকিয়ে ছিল| দলীলা শিম্শোনকে বলল, “শিম্শোন পলেষ্টীয়রা তোমাকে ধরতে আসছে|” শিম্শোন সহজেই দড়ি খুলে ফেলল| সেগুলো সে সুতোর মতো ছিঁড়ে ফেলল|
13 দলীলা শিম্শোনকে বলল, “তুমি আবার মিথ্যে কথা বলেছ| তুমি আমাকে বোকা বানিয়েছ| এবার বলো তো কি করে তোমাকে বেঁধে ফেলা যায়?”শিম্শোন বলল, “যদি তুমি তাঁত দিয়ে আমার মাথায় চুলের সাতটি বিনুনী বেঁধে একটি পিন দিয়ে আটকে দাও তাহলে আমি আর পাঁচটা সাধারণ লোকর মতো দুর্বল হয়ে যাব|”পরে শিম্শোন ঘুমোতে গেল| দলীলা তার মাথার চুলের সাতটি গোছা নিয়ে তাঁতে বুনল|
14 তারপর তাঁবুর খুঁটির সঙ্গে সেই বোনা চুলগুলিকে বেঁধে মাটিতে গেঁথে ফেলল| আবার সে শিম্শোনকে ডাকল, “পলেষ্টীয়রা তোমাকে ধরতে আসছে|” শিম্শোন তাঁত আর মাকু সব খুলে ফেলল|
15 দলীলা শিম্শোনকে বলল, “তুমি তো আমায় বিশ্বাসই করো না? তুমি কি করে বলো যে, ‘আমি তোমায় ভালবাসি|’ গোপন ব্যাপারটা তুমি আমাকে বললে না| এই নিয়ে তিনবার তুমি আমাকে বোকা বানালে| তোমার শক্তির গোপন কথা তুমি আমাকে বললে না|”
16 দিনের পর দিন দলীলা শিম্শোনকে রাগিয়ে তুলতে লাগল| তার ঘ্য়ানঘ্য়ানানি শুনতে শুনতে সে ক্লান্ত হয়ে পড়ল| ক্লান্তিতে সে যেন মরমর অবস্থায় পৌঁছাল|
17 সে এটা আর সহ্য করতে পারল না| শেষ পর্য়ন্ত সে দলীলাকে সব কিছুই বলে দিল| সে বলল, “আমি কখনও চুল কাটি না| আমার জন্মের আগে থেকেই আমাকে ঈশ্বরের কাছে উত্সর্গ করে দেওয়া হয়েছে| যদি কেউ আমার চুল কেটে নেয, তাহলে আমি অন্য পাঁচজন সাধারণ লোকর মতো দুর্বল হয়ে পড়ব|”
18 দলীলা বুঝতে পারল শিম্শোন তার গোপন কথাটা এবার সত্যই বলেছে| পলেষ্টীয় শাসকদের কাছে সে একটা খবর পাঠাল| সে বলে পাঠাল, “আর একবার ফিরে এসো, শিম্শোন আমায় সব বলে দিয়েছে|” এই খবর পেয়ে তারা আবার দলীলার কাছে চলে এল| প্রতিশ্রুতি মত দলীলাকে দেবার মত টাকা নিয়ে এল|
19 দলীলার কোলে মাথা দিয়ে শিম্শোন যখন শুয়ে ছিল, সেই সময় দলীলা তাকে ঘুম পাড়িযে দিল| তারপর সে একজন লোককে শিম্শোনের চুলের গোছা কেটে নেবার জন্য ডাকল| এইভাবে দলীলা শিম্শোনকে শক্তিহীন করে দিল| শিম্শোনের শক্তি চলে গেল|
20 দলীলা শিম্শোনকে ডেকে বলল, “শিম্শোন, পলেষ্টীয়রা তোমাকে ধরবার জন্য আসছে!” শিম্শোন জেগে উঠে ভাবলো, “আমি আগের মতোই নিজেকে বাঁচিয়ে নিতে পারব|” কিন্তু সে বুঝতে পারে নি যে প্রভু তাকে ছেড়ে চলে গেছেন|
21 পলেষ্টীয়রা শিম্শোনকে ধরে ফেলল| তারা তার চোখ খুবলে নিয়ে তাকে ঘসা শহরে নিয়ে গেল এবং যাতে সে পালিয়ে না যায় সেজন্য চেন দিয়ে বাঁধল| তারপর কারাগারে তাকে ঢুকিয়ে য়াঁতায শস্য পিষতে বাধ্য করল|
22 কিন্তু আবার শিম্শোনের চুল গজাতে লাগলো|
23 পলেষ্টীয়দের শাসকরা সবাই উত্সব করতে জড়ো হল| তারা তাদের দেবতা দাগোনের কাছে একটা মস্ত বড় নৈবেদ্য দেবার ব্যবস্থা করছিল| তারা বলল, “আমাদের দেবতাই আমাদের শিম্শোনকে হারিযে দিতে সাহায্য করেছে|”
24 পলেষ্টীয়রা শিম্শোনের দিকে তাকাল এবং তাদের দেবতার প্রশংসা করতে শুরু করল| তারা বলল:এই লোকটা আমাদের লোককে হত্যা করেছে এবং আমাদের দেশ ধ্বংস করেছে| আমাদের দেবতা আমাদের শত্রুদের বিরুদ্ধে জয়ী করেছে|
25 লোকরা উত্সবে বেশ মেতে উঠলো| তারা বলল, “শিম্শোনকে বের করে আনো| আমরা তাকে নিয়ে মজা করব|” কারাগার থেকে শিম্শোনকে নিয়ে এসে তারা ওকে নিয়ে মজা করতে লাগল| দাগোনের মন্দিরের থামের মাঝখানে তারা শিম্শোনকে দাঁড় করাল|
26 একজন ভৃত্য শিম্শোনের হাত ধরে ছিল| শিম্শোন তাকে বলল, “যে দুই থামের উপর মন্দিরের উপরের অংশের ভার রযেছে তা আমাকে ছুঁতে দাও| আমি সেখানে হেলান দিয়ে দাঁড়াতে চাই|”
27 মন্দিরে ঠাসা ভীড়| পলেষ্টীয়দের শাসকরা সেখানে সব এসেছে| মন্দিরের ছাদে প্রায় 3,000 নরনারী| তারা শিম্শোনকে নিয়ে হাসাহাসি করছে, মজা করছে|
28 শিম্শোন প্রভুর কাছে এই প্রার্থনা করল, “হে সর্বশক্তিমান প্রভু তুমি দয়া করে আমায় স্মরণ করো| ঈশ্বর, আর একবার তুমি আমায় শক্তি দাও| এই একটা কাজ আমায় করতে দাও, আমি যেন এই পলেষ্টীয়দের আমার দুই চোখ উপড়ে নেওয়ার জন্য শাস্তি দিতে পারি!”
29 তারপর শিম্শোন মন্দিরের মাঝখানে দাঁড়িয়ে দুটো থামকে ধরল| থাম দুটো সমস্ত মন্দিরটাকে ধরে রেখেছিল| দুটো থামের ভেতর সে নিজেকে দৃঢ়ভাবে স্থাপন করল| একটি থাম তার ডানদিকে, আরেকটা বাঁদিকে|
30 শিম্শোন বলল, “এই পলেষ্টীয়দের সঙ্গে আমার প্রাণ যাক্!” তারপর যত জোরে পারল থামদুটোকে ধাক্কা দিল| আর সঙ্গে সঙ্গে উপস্থিত শাসকদের ও লোকজনের ওপর মন্দিরটা ভেঙ্গে পড়ে গেল| এইভাবে শিম্শোন বেঁচে থাকা অবস্থায় যত পলেষ্টীয় হত্যা করেছিল, মরে গিয়ে তার চেয়ে ঢ়েব বেশী পলেষ্টীয় হত্যা করল|
31 শিম্শোনের ভাই আর পরিবারের লোকরা সবাই তার শবদেহ নিতে এলো| তাকে নিয়ে তারা তার পিতার সমাধিতে কবর দিল| সমাধিটা রযেছে সরা আর ইষ্টায়োল শহরের মাঝখানে| 20 বছর ধরে শিম্শোন ইস্রায়েলীয়দের বিচারক ছিলেন|
1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.
4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.
16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.
21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.
27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
28 And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
Jeremiah 20 in Tamil and English
1 ઈમ્મેરનો પુત્ર યાજક પાશહૂર યહોવાના મંદિરના રક્ષકોનો ઉપરી હતો. તેણે યમિર્યાને આવી ભવિષ્યવાણી ભાખતો સાંભળ્યો,
Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
2 તેથી તેણે યમિર્યાની ધરપકડ કરી અને તેને કોરડાથી ફટકાર્યો, પછી તેણે તેને મંદિરના બિન્યામીન દરવાજા આગળ સાંકળોથી બાધ્યો.
Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.
3 બીજા દિવસે સવારે પાશહૂરે યમિર્યાને હેડમાંથી છૂટો કર્યો ત્યારે યમિર્યાએ તેને કહ્યું, “યહોવા તને પાશહૂર નહિ કહે, પણ માગોર-મિસ્સાબીબ (સર્વત્ર ત્રાસ) કહેશે.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4 કારણ કે યહોવા તારા પર તથા તારા સર્વ મિત્રો પર ભય મોકલશે અને તેઓના શત્રુઓની તરવારોથી તેઓને તું મૃત્યુ પામતાં જોશે. આખો યહૂદિયા હું બાબિલના રાજાને સોંપી દઇશ. તે તેમને કેદ કરીને બાબિલ લઇ જશે અને ત્યાં તરવારથી મારી નાખશે.
For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
5 આ શહેરની સર્વ સંપત્તિ, એના બધા ભંડારો અને કિમતી વસ્તુઓ, યહૂદિયાના રાજાનો બધો ખજાનો હું તેમના શત્રુઓને સોંપી દઇશ, શત્રુઓ લૂંટમાર કરીને એનો કબજો લેશે અને બાબિલ લઇ જવામાં આવશે.
Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 તું, પાશહૂર, અને તારું કુટુંબ કેદ પકડાશો, તમને બાબિલ લઇ જવામાં આવશે, અને ત્યાં તમારું મોત થશે અને ત્યાં તમે દટાશો. તું અને તારા બધા મિત્રો, જેમને તેં ખોટી ભવિષ્યવાણી સંભળાવેલી છે.”‘
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
7 પછી મેં કહ્યું, “હે યહોવા, તમે મને યુકિતપૂર્વક છેતર્યો છે. તમારા સંદેશાઓ આપવા માટે તમે મને દબાણ કર્યુ. કારણ કે મારા કરતાં તમે અતિ બળવાન છો. પરંતુ હવે હું બધા દિવસો હાંસીપાત્ર થયો છું અને સર્વ લોકો મારી મશ્કરી કરે છે.
O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
8 કેમ કે જ્યારે જ્યારે હું બોલું છું ત્યારે ત્યારે ઘાટાં પાડીને એક જ વાત કહેવાની છે, ‘હિંસા અને વિનાશ!’ હે યહોવા, તારી વાણી સંભળાવવાને કારણે આખો દિવસ મારે હાંસી અને નામોશી સહન કરવી પડે છે.”
For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
9 હું જો એમ કહું કે, “હવે હું યહોવાને સંભારીશ નહિ, એને નામે બોલું જ નહિ.” તો તારી એ વાણી મારા અંગે અંગમાં ભંડારાયેલી આગની જેમ મારા અંતરમાં ભડભડી ઊઠે છે; અને હું તેને કાબૂમાં રાખવા મથું છું, પણ નથી રાખી શકતો.
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
10 ચારે બાજુથી હું તેઓની ધમકીઓ ઉચ્ચારાતી સાંભળું છું અને મને ડર લાગે છે, તેઓ કહે છે, “આપણે ફરિયાદ કરીશું. જેઓ મારા મિત્રો હતા તેઓ સાવધાનીથી મને નિહાળે છે કે, ક્યારે ભયંકર ભૂલ કરી બેસું. તે પોતે જ ફસાઇ જશે અને ત્યારે આપણે તેના પર આપણું વૈર વાળીશું. તેઓ આ પ્રમાણે કહે છે.”
For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 પરંતુ મહાન યોદ્ધાની જેમ યહોવા મારી પડખે ઊભા છે. તે પરાક્રમી તથા ભયાવહ છે. મારા જુલમગારો ઠોકર ખાશે, તેઓ નહિ ફાવે, તેઓ નિષ્ફળ જતાં ભારે ફજેત થશે; તેઓ બધી રીતે અપમાનિત થશે અને સદાને માટે તેઓ પર કલંક લાગશે.
But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
12 હે સૈન્યોના દેવ યહોવા, તમે સતનું પારખું કરો છો, મારા મનનો અને હૃદયનો તાગ લો છો; અને હું ઇચ્છું છું કે હું તમને એમના પર બદલો વાળતા જોવા પામુંં, કારણ કે મેં મારો દાવો ફકત તમને સોંપ્યો છે.
But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
13 યહોવાના ગીત ગાઓ, એમનાં ગુણગાન કરો. કારણ, તેણે દુષ્ટોના હાથમાંથી દરિદ્રીઓનું જીવન ઉગારી લીધુ છે.
Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14 તેમ છતાં મારા જન્મનો દિવસ શાપિત થાઓ!
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15 તને પુત્ર થયો છે એવી વધામણી મારા પિતાને આપનાર માણસ શાપિત થાઓ.
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16 તે માણસના હાલ એ પુરાતન નગરોના જેવા થાવ. જેનો યહોવાએ દયા રાખ્યા વગર નાશ કર્યો છે, ભલે તેને આખો દિવસ રણનાદ સંભળાય; સવારમાં આર્તનાદ અને બપોરે યુદ્ધનાદ સંભળાય,
And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17 કારણ કે, તેણે મને ગર્ભમાં જ મારી ન નાખ્યો, તો મારી માતા જ મારી કબર બની હોત, તેનું ઉદર સદા માટે મોટું રહ્યું હોત.
Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
18 હું કષ્ટો અને દુ:ખ સહન કરવા માટે, શરમાળ જીવન જીવવા માટે શું કામ ગર્ભમાંથી બહાર આવ્યો?
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
