< Job 11 >
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite made answer and said,
सोपर नमातीले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
2 Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?
“यति धेरै शब्दका जवाफ दिनुहुँदैन र? धेरै बोल्ने यी मानिसलाई विश्वास गर्नुपर्छ र?
3 Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?
तपाईंको अहङ्कारले अरूलाई मौन बनाउनुपर्छ र? तपाईंले खिसी गर्नुहुँदा, कसैले तपाईंलाई लाजमा पार्नेछैन र?
4 You may say, My way is clean, and I am free from sin in your eyes.
किनकि तपाईं परमेश्वरलाई भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मेरो विश्वास शुद्ध छ; तपाईंको दृष्टिमा म दोषरहित छु ।'
5 But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;
तर परमेश्वर बोल्नुभए हुन्थ्यो, र तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो ओठ खोल्नुभए हुन्थ्यो ।
6 And would make clear to you the secrets of wisdom, and the wonders of his purpose!
उहाँले तपाईंलाई बुद्धिका रहस्यहरू देखाउनुहुन्थ्यो । किनकि समझशक्तिमा उहाँ महान् हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंको अधर्मले पाउनेभन्दा थोरै दण्ड परमेश्वरले तपाईं दिनुहुन्छ भनी जान्नुहोस् ।
7 Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?
परमेश्वरलाई खोजेर तपाईंले उहाँलाई बुझ्न सक्नुहुन्छ? सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई तपाईं सिद्ध रूपमा बुझ्न सक्नुहुन्छ?
8 They are higher than heaven; what is there for you to do? deeper than the underworld, and outside your knowledge; (Sheol )
यो विषय स्वर्गजत्तिकै अग्लो छ । तपाईंले के गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ? यो पातालभन्दा गहिरो छ । तपाईंले के जान्न सक्नुहुन्छ? (Sheol )
9 Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea.
यसको नाप पृथ्वीभन्दा लामो छ, र समुद्रभन्दा चौडा छ ।
10 If he goes on his way, shutting a man up and putting him to death, who may make him go back from his purpose?
उहाँ आउनुहुन्छ र कसैलाई थुन्नुहुन्छ, र कसैलाई इन्साफको लागि बोलाउनुहुन्छ भने, कसले उहाँलाई रोक्न सक्छ र?
11 For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it.
किनकि झुटा मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले चिन्नुहुन्छ । जब उहाँले अधर्म देख्नुहुन्छ, तब उहाँले त्यो ख्याल गर्नुहुन्न र?
12 And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.
तर मूर्ख मानिसहरूको समझशक्ति हुँदैन । जङ्गली गधाले मानिसलाई जन्म दिंदा तिनीहरूले यो प्राप्त गर्छन् ।
13 But if you put your heart right, stretching out your hands to him;
तर मानौँ, तपाईंले आफ्नो हृदय ठिक राखेको भए, र आफ्ना हात परमेश्वरतिर फैलाएको भए,
14 If you put far away the evil of your hands, and let no wrongdoing have a place in your tent;
मानौँ, अधर्म तपाईंको हातमा थियो, तर त्यसलाई तपाईंले आफूबाट टाढा पुर्याएको भए, अनि तपाईंका पालहरूभित्र अधार्मिकतालाई बस्न नदिएको भए ।
15 Then truly your face will be lifted up, with no mark of sin, and you will be fixed in your place without fear:
तब तपाईंले निश्चय पनि लाजको सङ्केतबिना नै आफ्नो अनुहार उठाउनुहुन्थ्यो । वास्तवमा तपाईं दृढ बन्नुहुन्थ्यो र डराउनुहुने थिएन ।
16 For your sorrow will go from your memory, like waters flowing away:
तपाईंले आफ्नो दुःख बिर्सनुहुन्थ्यो । तपाईंले त्यसलाई बगेर गएको पानीलाई झैं मात्र सम्झनुहुन्थ्यो ।
17 And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning.
तपाईंको जीवन मध्यदिनको भन्दा चम्किलो हुन्थ्यो । त्यहाँ अँध्यारो भए पनि, त्यो बिहानजस्तै हुन्थ्यो ।
18 And you will be safe because there is hope; after looking round, you will take your rest in quiet;
त्यहाँ आशा भएको हुनाले तपाईं सुरक्षित रहनुहुन्थ्यो । वास्तवमा तपाईंले आफ्नो सुरक्षा पाउनुहुन्थ्यो र तपाईंको विश्राम सुरक्षित हुन्थ्यो ।
19 Sleeping with no fear of danger; and men will be desiring to have grace in your eyes;
साथै, तपाईं विश्राममा पल्टनुहुन्थ्यो, र कसैले तपाईंलाई भयभीत पार्दैनथ्यो । वास्तवमा धेरैले तपाईंको निगाह खोज्थे ।
20 But the eyes of the evil-doers will be wasting away; their way of flight is gone, and their only hope is the taking of their last breath.
तर दुष्ट मानिसहरूका आँखा चुक्नेछन् । भाग्नलाई तिनीहरूको कुनै बाटो हुनेछैन । तिनीहरूको एक मात्र आशा जीवनको आखिरी सुस्केरा हुनेछ ।”
