< Job 27 >

1 Job continued his discourse:
अय्यूबले फेरि बोल्न थाले अनि यसो भने,
2 “As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
“परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएझैं, जसले मेरो न्याय हटाउनुभएको छ, सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ जसले मेरो जीवन तितो बनाउनुभएको छ ।
3 as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
जबसम्‍म मेरो जीवन ममा रहन्‍छ, अनि परमेश्‍वरको सास मेरो नाकमा रहन्‍छ, तबसम्‍म म यही कुरा गर्नेछु ।
4 my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
मेरो ओठले दुष्‍ट कुरा बोल्नेछैन, न त मेरो जिब्रोले छलको कुरा बोल्नेछ ।
5 I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
तपाईंहरू तिन जनाले ठिक बोल्‍नुहुन्‍छ भनी म कदापि स्वीकार गर्दिन । मेरो मृत्‍यु नभएसम्म म आफ्‍नो निष्ठालाई कदापि इन्कार गर्ने छैनँ ।
6 I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
म आफ्‍नो धार्मिकतालाई बलियो गरी समाउँछु, र त्‍यसलाई जान दिन्‍नँ । म बाँचुञ्जेलसम्म मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई निन्‍दित पार्नेछैनन् ।
7 May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
मेरो शत्रु एक जना दुष्‍ट मानिसझैं होस् । जो मेरो विरुद्धमा खडा हुन्‍छ, ऊ एक जना अधर्मी मानिसझैं होस् ।
8 For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
किनकि परमेश्‍वरले ईश्‍वरहीन मानिसलाई इन्कार गर्नुहुँदा, परमेश्‍वरले उसको जीवनलाई हटाउनुहुँदा, उसको आशा के हुन्छ र?
9 Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
उसमाथि सङ्कष्‍ट आइपर्दा, के परमेश्‍वरले उसको पुकारा सुन्‍नुहुन्‍छ र?
10 Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
के ऊ सर्वशक्तिमान्‌मा आनन्दित हुन्‍छ, अनि उसले हर समयमा परमेश्‍वरलाई पुकारा गर्छ?
11 I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
म तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरको शक्तिको बारेमा सिकाउनेछु । म सर्वशक्तिमान्‌का विचारहरूलाई लुकाउनेछैनँ ।
12 Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंहरू सबैले यो आफैले देख्‍नुभएको छ । तब तपाईंहरूले यी सबै निरर्थक कुरा किन बोल्नुभएको हो त?
13 This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
दुष्‍ट मानिसले परमेश्‍वरबाट पाउने हिस्सा यही हो । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌बाट अत्याचारीले पाउने आफ्‍नो पैतृक-अंश यही हो ।
14 Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
उसका छोराछोरीको सङ्‍ख्‍या बढ्‍छन् भने, त्‍यो तरवारको निम्‍तो हो । उसका सन्तानहरूले पेटभरि खान कदापि पाउने छैनन् ।
15 His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
ऊसँग बाँच्नेहरू विपत्तिद्वारा गाडिनेछन्, अनि तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
दुष्‍ट मानिसले धूलोझैं चाँदीको थुप्रो लगाए पनि, र माटोझैं लुगाफाटा थुपारे पनि,
17 what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
उसले ती लुगाफाटा जम्मा त गर्ला, तर धर्मी मानिसहरूले ती लगाउनेछन्, र निर्दोष मानिसहरूले चाँदीचाहिं आफ्‍नो बिचमा बाँड्‍नेछन् ।
18 The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
माकुरोले झैं, एक जना पहरेदारले बनाउने झुप्रोझैं, उसले आफ्‍नो घर बनाउँछ ।
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
ऊ धनी भएर ओछ्यानमा पल्टन्छ, तर उसले त्यसो गरिरहने छैन । उसले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्‍छ, अनि हरेक कुरा सिद्धिएको हुनेछ ।
20 Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
पानीले झैं त्रासले उसलाई डुबाउनेछ । रातमा एउटा आँधीले उसलाई टाढा पुर्‍याउनेछ ।
21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
पूर्वीय बतासले उसलाई उडाएर लानेछ, र उसले छोड्‍नेछ । त्‍यसले उसलाई आफ्नो बासस्थानबाट पुर्‍याउनेछ ।
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
उसमाथि त्‍यो हुत्तिन्‍छ, र रोकिन्‍न । त्‍यसको पन्जाबाट ऊ भाग्‍न खोज्‍छ ।
23 It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
उसको गिल्‍ला गरेर त्‍यसले आफ्‍नो ताली बजाउँछ । त्यसले आफ्नो ठाउँबाट उसको खिसी गर्छ ।
