Job 4
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 “If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
“कसैलाई तपाईंसित कुरा गर्ने प्रयास गर्यो भने के तपाईं अधैर्य बन्नुहुन्छ? तर कसले आफैलाई बोल्नबाट रोक्न सक्छ?
3 Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले धेरैलाई शिक्षा दिनुभएको छ । तपाईंले दुर्बल हातहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुभएको छ ।
4 Your words have supported him who was falling, you have made the feeble knees firm.
तपाईंका वचनहरूले त्यस्तोलाई सम्हालेको छ जो पतन हुँदै थियो। तपाईंले कमजोर घुँडाहरूलाई दरिलो पार्नुभएको छ ।
5 But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
तर अहिले सङ्कष्ट तपाईंमा आएको छ, र तपाईं थकित हुनुहुन्छ । यसले तपाईंलाई छोएको छ, र तपाईंलाई कष्ट भएको छ ।
6 Is not your piety your confidence? Is not the integrity of your ways your hope?
के तपाईंको डर तपाईंको निश्चयता, अनि तपाईंका मार्गहरूका सत्यनिष्ठा तपाईंको आशा होइन र?
7 “Remember, now, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
कृपा गरी यस विषयमा सोच्नुहोस्: निर्दोष हुँदा पनि कुनै व्यक्ति कहिलै नष्ट भएको छ र? अर्थात् सोझा मानिसहरू कहिले मारिएका थिए र?
8 According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same.
जे मैले देखेको छु त्यसअनुसार, अधर्म जोत्नेहरू र कष्ट छर्नेहरूले नै त्यसको कटनी गर्छन् ।
9 By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
परमेश्वरको सासले तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । उहाँको क्रोधको बिष्फोटले तिनीहरू भस्म हुन्छन् ।
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
सिंहको गर्जन, हिंस्रक सिंहको सोर र जवान सिंहहरूका दाँत— ती भाँचिएका छन् ।
11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
सिकारको अभावले बुढो सिंह नष्ट हुन्छ । सिंहनीका डमरुहरू जताततै छरपष्ट भएका हुन्छन् ।
12 “Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.
यति बेला कुनै कुरा गुप्तमा मकहाँ ल्याइयो, र मेरो कानले यसको बारेमा कानेखुसी सुन्यो ।
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
जब मानिसहरू घोर निद्रामा पर्छन्, तब रातको सपनाहरूद्वारा विचारहरू आए ।
14 fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
त्यो रातमा नै थियो जुन बेला ममाथि डर र त्रास आए, र मेरा सबै हड्डी कामे ।
15 Then a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.
तब मेरै अनुहारको सामुन्नेबाट एउटा आत्मा गयो, र मेरो शरीरको रौं ठाडो भयो ।
16 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
त्यो आत्मा खडा भयो, तर त्यसको दृष्यलाई मैले ठम्याउन सकिनँ । त्यसको स्वरूप मेरा आँखाकै सामु थियो । त्यहाँ मौनता थियो, र मैले यसो भनेको एउटा आवाज सुनें,
17 ‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
“के मरणशील मानिस परमेश्वरभन्दा बढी धर्मी हुन्छ र? के मानिस आफूलाई बनाउनेभन्दा बढी शुद्ध हुन्छ?
18 Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले आफ्ना सेवकहरूमाथि भरोसा गर्नुहुन्न भने, उहाँले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई मूर्खताको दोष लगाउनुहुन्छ भने,
19 How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
माटोका घरहरूमा बस्नेहरूको बारेमा झन् यो कति साँचो हुन्छ? जसको जग धूलोमा छ, जो कीराभन्दा चाँडै कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिन्छन् ।
20 Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
बिहान र बेलुकीको बिचमा तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । कसैको जानकारीविना नै तिनीहरू सदाको लागि नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
21 Is not their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’
के तिनीहरूका पालका डोरीहरू तिनीहरूकै बिचमा तानिएका छैनन् र? तिनीहरू मर्छन् । तिनीहरू बुद्धिविना मर्छन् ।
