< Job 18 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
तब बिल्दद शुहीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 “How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.
“आफ्नो कुरा तपाईं कहिले बन्द गर्नुहुन्छ? विचार गर्नुहोस्, र त्यसपछि हामी बोल्नेछौं ।
3 Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?
तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा हामीलाई किन जङ्गली पशुहरू जस्‍तै मूर्ख छौं?
4 You who tear yourself in anger— should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?
तपाईंले आफ्नो रिसमा आफैलाई छिया-छिया पार्नुहुन्छ, के तपाईंको निम्‍ति पृथ्वीलाई त्यागिदिने? वा चट्टानहरूलाई तिनीहरूका ठाउँबाट हटाइदिने?
5 Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.
वास्तवमा दुष्‍ट व्यक्तिको बत्ती निभाइनेछ । उसको आगोको ज्वाला बल्नेछैन ।
6 The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
उसको पालमा ज्योति नै अँध्यारो हुनेछ । ऊमाथि रहेको उसको बत्ती निभाइनेछ ।
7 His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.
उसको शक्तिका पाइलाहरू छोटा बनाइनेछन् । उसका आफ्नै योजनाहरूले उसलाई तल पार्नेछन् ।
8 For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.
किनकि उसको आफ्नै खुट्टाले उसलाई जालमा फल्‍नेछ । ऊ खल्‍डोतिर भौंतारिंदै जानेछ ।
9 A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.
पासोले त्यसलाई कुर्कुच्‍चोमा समात्‍ने छ । जालले त्यसलाई पसाउनेछ ।
10 A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.
उसको लागि जमिनमा एउटा पासो लुकाइएको छ । अनि एउटा पासोले उसलाई समात्‍नेछ ।
11 Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.
त्रासहरूले चारैतिरबाट उसलाई डरमा पार्नेछन् । तिनले उसलाई पछिपछि खेद्‍नेछन् ।
12 His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
उसको धन-सम्पत्तिले भोकमा पुर्‍याउनेछ, र विपत्तिले उसको छेउमै पर्खिनेछ ।
13 It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
उसको शरीरका अंगहरू नष्‍ट पारिनेछन् । वास्तवमा, मृत्युको जेठो सन्तानले उसका अंगहरू निल्नेछ ।
14 He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
आफ्‍नो पालको सुरक्षाबाट उसलाई घिस्‍याइन्‍छ, र त्रासको राजाकहाँ लगिन्‍छ ।
15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
अपरिचित मानिसहरूले उसको घरभित्र गन्धक छरेको देखेपछि, तिनीहरू उसको पालमा बस्‍ने छैनन् ।
16 The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
उसका जराहरू तलतिरका नै सुक्‍नेछन् । माथिको उसको हाँगा काटिनेछ ।
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.
पृथ्वीबाट उसको सम्झना लुप्‍त हुनेछ । सडकमा उसको कुनै नाउँ हुनेछैन ।
18 He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.
उसलाई उज्यालोबाट अँध्यारोमा धपाइनेछ, र यस संसारबाट लखेटिनेछ ।
19 He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.
उसका मानिसका बिचमा उसको छोरो वा नाति हुनेछैन, न त ऊ बसेको ठाउँमा कुनै आफन्त हुनेछ ।
20 Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.
एक दिन उसलाई जे हुन्छ, त्यसमा पश्‍चिममा बस्‍नेहरू मानिसहरू आतङ्कित हुनेछन् भने, पूर्वमा बस्‍नेहरू त्‍यसमा त्रसित हुनेछन् ।
21 Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
निश्‍चय नै अधर्मी मानिसहरूका घरहरू यस्तै हुन्‍छन् । परमेश्‍वरलाई नचिन्‍नेहरूका ठाउँहरू यस्तै हुने छन् ।
