Isaiah 8
1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏକ ବୃହତ ଫଳକ ନଇେ ଏକ ସ୍ବତନ୍ତ୍ର ଲେଖନୀ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ରେ ତା'ଉପ ରେ ଏହି କଥାସବୁ ଲେଖ। ତାହା ହେଉଛି, ମ ହରେ-ଶାଲଲ-ହାଶ୍-ବସ୍।' ଏହାର ଅର୍ଥ ହେଉଛି, ଖୁବ୍ ଶୀଘ୍ର ଲୁଣ୍ଠନ ଓ ଚୋରି ହବେ।
2 ବିଶ୍ବସ୍ତ ସାକ୍ଷୀ ହବୋକୁ ମୁଁ କେତକେ ଲୋକ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କଲି। ସହେି ବିଶ୍ବସ୍ତ ସାକ୍ଷୀ ହବେେ ଉରିଯ ଯାଜକ ଓ ୟିବୋରିଖିଯର ପୁତ୍ର ସଖରିଅ। ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ସହେି ବାକ୍ଯ ଲେଖିବାକୁ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ଯ କଲେ।
3 ତା'ପ ରେ ମୁଁ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତବକ୍ତୀଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଗଲି। ସେ ଗର୍ଭବତୀ ଥିଲେ ଓ ଏକ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କଲେ। ତା'ପ ରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ କହିଲେ, ତାହାର ନାମ ମ ହରେ-ଶାଲଲ-ହାଶ୍-ବସ୍ ରଖ।
4 ଏ ନାମ କାହିଁକି ରଖାୟିବ। କାରଣ ବାଳକଟି ପିତାମାତା ଡ଼ାକିବା ପାଇଁ ଜ୍ଞାନ ପାଇବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସମସ୍ତ ଧନ ସମ୍ପଦ ଦମ୍ମେଶକରୁ ଓ ଶମରିଯାରୁ ନଇୟୋଇଥିବେ ଏବଂ ସେ ସମସ୍ତ ଧନକୁ ଅଶୂର ରାଜାଙ୍କୁ ଦଇେ ଦବେେ।'
5 ପୁନର୍ବାର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ କହିଲେ।
6 ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ଶୀଲୋହର ଧୀରଷୋର୍ତକୁ ଅଗ୍ରାହ୍ଯ କରି ଉତ୍ସୀନ୍ ଓ ରମଲୀଯର ପୁତ୍ର, ପକହେ ସହିତ ଆନନ୍ଦ କରୁଛନ୍ତି।
7 ମାତ୍ର ମୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଅଶୂର ରାଜା ଓ ତାହାର ସମସ୍ତ ଶକ୍ତିକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଆଣିବି। ସମାନେେ ଫରାତ୍ ନଦୀର ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ବନ୍ଯାର ସୋର୍ତ ପରି ପ୍ରବଳ ପରାକ୍ରମୀ ହାଇେ ଆସିବେ। ବନ୍ଯାଜଳ କୂଳ ଲଙ୍ଘନ କଲାପରି ସମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ଉପ ରେ ପ୍ରଭାବ ବିସ୍ତାର କରିବେ।
8 ସହେି ଜଳରାଶି ଯିହୁଦା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ମାଡ଼ିୟିବ ଓ ଯିହୁଦାର କଣ୍ଠ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବ୍ଯାପିବ। ପରିଶଷେ ରେ ତା'କୁ ବୁଡ଼ାଇ ଦବେ।
9 ହେ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀସମୂହ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ହୁଅ, ମାତ୍ର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ପରାସ୍ତ ହବେ। ହେ ଦୂର ଦେଶୀଯ ଲୋକମାନେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଧ୍ଯାନପୂର୍ବକ ଶୁଣ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ୟୁଦ୍ଧପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ହେଲବେି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ପରାଜିତ ହବେ।
10 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ ପାଇଁ ଯେତେ ମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା କଲେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ସଫଳ ହବେ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭର ସୈନ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଆଦେଶ ନିଷ୍ଫଳ ହବେ। କାହିଁକି ଏହା ଘଟିବ। କାରଣ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଅଛନ୍ତି।
11 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କର ମହାନ୍ ଶକ୍ତି ବଳ ରେ ମାେତେ କହିଲେ। ଅନ୍ୟ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀର ଲୋକଙ୍କପରି ନ ହବୋକୁ ସେ ମାେତେ ସତର୍କ କରି କହିଲେ।
12 ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଲୋକ କହୁଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନେ ତାଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା କରୁଛନ୍ତି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସେ ସବୁକୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କର ନାହିଁ। ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନେ ଭୟଭୀତ ହେଲାପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭୟଭୀତ ହୁଅ ନାହିଁ। ସେ ସବୁକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆଦୌ ଭୟ କର ନାହିଁ।'
13 ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କବଳେ ଭୟ କର। ତାଙ୍କୁ ହିଁ କବଳେ ଭକ୍ତି କରିବ। ସହେି ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ଏକମାତ୍ର ଯାହାଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭୟକର।
14 ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ସମ୍ମାନ ଏବଂ ଭକ୍ତି କରିବ ଏବଂ ପବିତ୍ର ରେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କର, ତବେେ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଏକମାତ୍ର ଆଶ୍ରଯ ସ୍ଥାନ ହବେେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ସମ୍ମାନ ପ୍ରଦର୍ଶକ ନୁହଁ। ତେଣୁ ସେ ପଥର ସଦୃଶ ଯାହା ଜଣେ ଝୁଣ୍ଟିପଡ଼େ, ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ୟନ୍ତା ଓ ଫାଶ।
15 ଅନକେ ଲୋକ ଏହି ପଥରଦ୍ବାରା ପତିତ ହବେେ। ସମାନେେ ପତିତ ହାଇେ ଭଗ୍ନ ହବେେ ଏବଂ ଫାଶ ରେ ପଡ଼ି ବାନ୍ଧି ହାଇଯେିବେ।
16 ଯିଶାଇୟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏକ ଚୁକ୍ତିକର ଓ ଏହାକୁ ମୁଦ୍ରିତ କର। ମାରେ ଶିକ୍ଷାଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ ପାଇଁ ରକ୍ଷାକର। ମାରେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏହା କର।
17 ମୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିବି। ଯେତବେେଳେ ଯାକୁବ ପରିବାରରୁ ସେ ଆପଣାର ମୁଖ ଲୁଚାନ୍ତି। ମୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉପ ରେ ଆଶା ରଖିବି, ମୁଁ ଏଥିପାଇଁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିବି।
18 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ମୁଁ ଓ ମାରେ ପିଲାମାନେ ସଙ୍କତେ ଓ ପ୍ରମାଣ। କାରଣ ସିୟୋନ ପର୍ବତ ଉପ ରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ପ୍ ରରେିତ ହାଇେଅଛୁ।'
19 କେତକେ ଲୋକ କୁହନ୍ତି, ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ୍ ବକ୍ତା ଓ ଗୁଣିଆ ମାନଙ୍କୁ କ'ଣ କରିବାକୁ ହବେ ପଚାର।' ଏହି ଆଗତ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ କହୁଥିବା ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଓ ଗୁଣିଆଗଣ ପକ୍ଷୀପରି ଗୁଣୁଗୁଣୁ ହାଇେ ମନ୍ତ୍ର କୁହନ୍ତି, ଫଳ ରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଭାବନ୍ତି ସମାନେେ ବହୁ ଗୋପନୀଯ ମୃତ ଓ ଜୀବିତମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷଯ ରେ ଜାଣନ୍ତି। ମାତ୍ର ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହୁଛି ଯେ ଲୋକମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ଭିକ୍ଷା କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍। ସହେି ଆଗତ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ କହୁଥିବା ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଓ ଗୁଣିଆଗଣ ମୃତ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିଙ୍କ ବିଷଯ ରେ ପଚାରନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ କ'ଣ ଜୀବିତମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷଯ ରେ ମୃତମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଜାଣିପାରିବେ ?
20 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଚୁକ୍ତି ଅନୁସାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଶିକ୍ଷାସମୂହକୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କର। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଯଦି ସେ ଆଦେଶକୁ ଅନୁସରଣ ନ କରିବ ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଭୁଲ୍ ପଥରେ ୟିବ। ସହେି ଭୁଲ ଆଦେଶ ଆଗତ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ୍ କହୁଥିବା ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଗୁଣିଆମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଆସିଛି। ସେ ଆଦେଶ ନିରର୍ଥକ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତାହା ଅନୁସରଣ କଲେ କିଛି ଲାଭ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ହବେ ନାହିଁ।
21 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଯଦି ସହେି ଭୁଲ ଆଦେଶ ପାଳନ କରିବ ତବେେ ଦେଶ ରେ କଷ୍ଟ ଓ ଅନାହାର ଦଖାଦେବେ। ସେତବେେଳେ ସମାନେେ ବିରକ୍ତ ହବେେ ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶାସକ ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ କହିବେ। ତା'ପ ରେ ସମାନେେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଉର୍ଦ୍ଧ୍ବକୁ ଚାହିଁବେ।
22 ଯଦି ସମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କର ଦେଶର ଚାରିଆଡ଼କୁ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିପାତ କରିବେ ତବେେ ସମାନେେ କବଳେ ଦୁଃଖ ଓ ୟାତନାରୂପକ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ଦେଖିବେ ଓ ସହେି ଦୁଃଖରୂପକ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ଦେଖି ଦେଶ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କରିବାକୁ ବାଧ୍ଯ ହବେେ। ପୁଣି ସହେି ଅନ୍ଧକାର ରେ ଆବଦ୍ଧ ହାଇେଥିବା ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ନିଜକୁ ସେଥିରୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ।
1 Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5 The Lord spake also unto me again, saying,
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
Ecclesiastes 5 in Tamil and English
1 நீ தேவாலயத்துக்குப் போகும்போது உன் நடையைக் காத்துக்கொள்; மூடர் பலியிடுவதுபோலப் பலியிடுவதைப்பார்க்கிலும் செவிகொடுக்கச் சேர்வதே நலம். தாங்கள் செய்கிறது தீமையென்று அறியாதிருக்கிறார்கள்.
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
2 தேவசமுகத்தில் நீ துணிகரமாய் உன் வாயினால் பேசாமலும், மனம்பதறி ஒரு வார்த்தையையும் சொல்லாமலும் இரு; தேவன் வானத்திலிருக்கிறார்; நீ பூமியிலிருக்கிறாய், ஆதலால் உன் வார்த்தைகள் சுருக்கமாயிருப்பதாக.
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
3 தொல்லையின் திரட்சியினால் சொப்பனம் பிறக்கிறதுபோல, வார்த்தைகளின் திரட்சியினால் மூடனுடைய சத்தம் பிறக்கும்.
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.
4 நீ தேவனுக்கு ஒரு பொருத்தனைபண்ணிக்கொண்டால், அதைச் செலுத்தத் தாமதியாதே; அவர் மூடரில் பிரியப்படுகிறதில்லை, நீ நேர்ந்துகொண்டதைச்செய்.
When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5 நீ நேர்ந்துகொண்டதைச் செய்யாமற்போவதைப்பார்க்கிலும், நேர்ந்துகொள்ளாதிருப்பதே நலம்.
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
6 உன் மாம்சத்தைப் பாவத்துக்குள்ளாக்க உன் வாய்க்கு இடங்கொடாதே, அது புத்திபிசகினால் செய்தது என்று தூதனுக்குமுன் சொல்லாதே, தேவன் உன் வார்த்தைகளினாலே கோபங்கொண்டு, உன் கைகளின் கிரியையை அழிப்பானேன்?
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
7 அநேக சொப்பனங்கள் மாயையாயிருப்பதுபோல, அநேக வார்த்தைகளும் வியர்த்தமாயிருக்கும்; ஆகையால் நீ தேவனுக்குப் பயந்திரு.
For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
8 ஒரு தேசத்தில் ஏழைகள் ஒடுக்கப்படுகிறதையும், நியாயமும் நீதியும் புரட்டப்படுகிறதையும் நீ காண்பாயானால், அதைக்குறித்து ஆச்சரியப்படாதே; உயர்ந்தவன்மேல் உயர்ந்தவன் காவலாளியாயிருக்கிறான்; அவர்கள்மேல் உயர்ந்தவரும் ஒருவருண்டு.
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
9 பூமியில் விளையும் பலன் யாவருக்குமுரியது; ராஜாவும் வயலின் பலனால் ஆதரிக்கப்படுகிறான்.
Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
10 பணப்பிரியன் பணத்தினால் திருப்தியடைவதில்லை; செல்வப்பிரியன் செல்வப்பெருக்கினால் திருப்தியடைவதில்லை; இதுவும் மாயையே.
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
11 பொருள் பெருகினால் அதைத் தின்கிறவர்களும் பெருகுகிறார்கள்; அதை உடையவர்கள் தங்கள் கண்களினால் அதை காண்பதேயன்றி அவர்களுக்குப் பிரயோஜனம் என்ன?
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
12 வேலைசெய்கிறவன் கொஞ்சமாய்ப் புசித்தாலும் அதிகமாய்ப் புசித்தாலும் அவன் நித்திரை இன்பமாயிருக்கும்; செல்வனுடைய பெருக்கோ அவனைத் தூங்கவொட்டாது.
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
13 சூரியனுக்குக் கீழே நான் கண்ட வேறொரு கொடிய தீங்குமுண்டு அதாவது, ஐசுவரியமானது அதை உடையவர்களுக்கே கேடுண்டாகும்படி சேகரித்து வைக்கப்படுவதாம்.
There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
14 அந்த ஐசுவரியம் விக்கினத்தால் அழிந்துபோகிறது; அவன் ஒரு புத்திரனைப் பெறுகிறான், அவன் வாயில் யாதொன்றும் இல்லை.
But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
15 தன் தாயின் கர்ப்பத்திலிருந்து நிர்வாணியாய் வந்தான்; வந்ததுபோலவே நிர்வாணியாய்த் திரும்பிப்போவான். அவன் தன் பிரயாசத்தினால் உண்டான பலனொன்றையும் தன் கையிலே எடுத்துக்கொண்டுபோவதில்லை.
As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
16 அவன் வந்தபிரகாரமே போகிறான், இதுவும் கொடுமையான தீங்கு; அவன் காற்றுக்குப் பிரயாசப்பட்டதினால் அவனுக்கு லாபம் என்ன?
And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
17 அவன் தன் நாட்களிலெல்லாம் இருளிலே புசித்து, மிகவும் சலித்து, நோயும் துன்பமும் அடைகிறான்.
All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
18 இதோ உயிரோடிருக்கும்படி தேவன் அருளிச்செய்த நாளெல்லாம் மனுஷன் புசித்துக் குடித்து, சூரியனுக்குக் கீழே தான் படும் பிரயாசம் அனைத்தின் பலனையும் அநுபவிப்பதே நலமும் உத்தமுமான காரியமென்று நான் கண்டேன், இதுவே இவன் பங்கு.
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
19 தேவன் ஐசுவரியத்தையும் சம்பத்தையும் எவனுக்குக் கொடுத்திருக்கிறாரோ, அவன் அதிலே புசிக்கவும், தன்பங்கைப் பெறவும், தன் பிரயாசத்திலே மகிழ்ச்சியாயிருக்கவும் அவனுக்கு அதிகாரம் அளிப்பது தேவனுடைய அநுக்கிரகம்.
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
20 அவனுடைய இருதயத்திலே மகிழும்படி தேவன் அவனுக்கு அநுக்கிரகம்பண்ணுகிறபடியினால், அவன் தன் ஜீவனுள்ள நாட்களை அதிகமாய் நினையான்.
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
