Job 2
1 On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.
तब अर्को दिनमा परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले आफैलाई परमप्रभुको सामु उपस्थित गराउनलाई आए । शैतान पनि परमप्रभुको सामु आफैलाई उपस्थित गराउन तिनीहरूसँगै आयो ।
2 “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
परमप्रभुले शैतानलाई सोध्नुभयो, “तँ कहाँबाट आइस्?” शैतानले परमप्रभुलाई जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, “पृथ्वीमा घुमेर, त्यसमा यता र उता गएर आएको हुँ ।”
3 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “के तैंले मेरो दास अय्यूबलाई विचार गरेको छस्? किनकि पृथ्वीमा त्योजस्तो दोषरहित र सोझो मानिस कोही छैन जो परमेश्वरको भय मान्छ र खराबीबाट अलग बस्छ । विनाकारण त्यसलाई नाश गर्न त्यसको विरुद्धमा तैंले मलाई भ्रममा पारेको भए तापनि त्यसले अझै आफ्नो निष्ठामा कायम राखेको छ ।”
4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.
शैतानले परमप्रभुलाई जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, “वस्तवमा नै छालाको साटो छाला हुन्छ । एक जना मानिसले आफ्नो ज्यानको लागि आफूसित भएका सबै थोक दिन्छ ।
5 But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
तर अब आफ्नो हात पसार्नुहोस् र तिनका हड्डी र शरीरलाई छुनुहोस्, अनि हेर्नुहोस्, कतै तिनले तपाईंको मुखैमा तपाईंलाई सराप्ने त छैनन् ।”
6 “Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must spare his life.”
परमप्रभुले शैतानलाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, त्यो तेरै हातमा छ । त्यसको जीवन मात्र चाहिं तैंले छोड्नैपर्छ ।”
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
तब शैतान परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट तुरुन्तै गयो । त्यसले अय्यूबलाई तिनको पाउको कुर्कुच्चादेखि तिनको शिरसम्म पीडादायी खटिराले प्रहार गर्यो ।
8 And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.
आफूलाई कन्याउन अय्यूबले फुटेको भाँडोको एक टुक्रा खपटा लिए, र तिनी खरानीको बिचमा बसे ।
9 Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!”
तब तिनकी पत्नीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “के तपाईं अझै पनि आफ्नो निष्ठामा रहनुहुन्छ? परमेश्वरलाई सराप्नुहोस् र मर्नुहोस् ।”
10 “You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
तर तिनले उनलाई भने, “एक जना मूर्ख स्त्रीले बात गरेझैं तिमी बात गर्छ्यौ । के हामीले परमेश्वरबाट असल कुराचाहिं ग्रहण गर्नू अनि खराब कुराचाहिं ग्रहण नगर्नू?” यी सबै कुरामा अय्यूबले आफ्नो मुखले पाप गरेनन् ।
11 Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, each of them came from his home, and they met together to go and sympathize with Job and comfort him.
जब अय्यूबका तिन जना मित्रले तिनीमाथि आइपरेका यी सबै खराबीको बारेमा सुने, तब तिनीहरू हरेक आ-आफ्नो ठाउँबाट निस्केर आए, अर्थात् एलीपज तेमानी, बिल्दद शुही र सोपर नमाती । तिनीसँगै शोक गर्न र तिनलाई सान्त्वना दिन तिनीहरूले समय निकाले ।
12 When they lifted up their eyes from afar, they could barely recognize Job. They began to weep aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust in the air over his head.
जब तिनीहरूले टाढैबाट आँखा उठाएर हेरे, तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई चिनेनन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सोर उचालेर कराए र रोए । हरेकले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते, धूलो हावामा फाले र आ-आफ्ना शिरमा हाले ।
13 Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw how intense his suffering was.
तब तिनीहरू सात दिन र सात रात तिनीसँगै भुइँमा बसे । कसैले तिनलाई एउटै शब्द पनि बोलेन, किनकि तिनको शोक अत्यन्तै ठुलो भएको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
