Job 2
1 And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
तब अर्को दिनमा परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले आफैलाई परमप्रभुको सामु उपस्थित गराउनलाई आए । शैतान पनि परमप्रभुको सामु आफैलाई उपस्थित गराउन तिनीहरूसँगै आयो ।
2 And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
परमप्रभुले शैतानलाई सोध्नुभयो, “तँ कहाँबाट आइस्?” शैतानले परमप्रभुलाई जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, “पृथ्वीमा घुमेर, त्यसमा यता र उता गएर आएको हुँ ।”
3 And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on 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 And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give 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 now, if you only put your hand on his bone and his flesh, he will certainly be cursing 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 And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.
परमप्रभुले शैतानलाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, त्यो तेरै हातमा छ । त्यसको जीवन मात्र चाहिं तैंले छोड्नैपर्छ ।”
7 And the Satan went out from before the Lord, and sent on Job an evil disease covering his skin from his feet to the top of his head.
तब शैतान परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट तुरुन्तै गयो । त्यसले अय्यूबलाई तिनको पाउको कुर्कुच्चादेखि तिनको शिरसम्म पीडादायी खटिराले प्रहार गर्यो ।
8 And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it.
आफूलाई कन्याउन अय्यूबले फुटेको भाँडोको एक टुक्रा खपटा लिए, र तिनी खरानीको बिचमा बसे ।
9 And his wife said to him, Are you still keeping your righteousness? Say a curse against God, and put an end to yourself.
तब तिनकी पत्नीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “के तपाईं अझै पनि आफ्नो निष्ठामा रहनुहुन्छ? परमेश्वरलाई सराप्नुहोस् र मर्नुहोस् ।”
10 And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.
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 And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.
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 And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.
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 And they took their seats on the earth by his side for seven days and seven nights: but no one said a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
तब तिनीहरू सात दिन र सात रात तिनीसँगै भुइँमा बसे । कसैले तिनलाई एउटै शब्द पनि बोलेन, किनकि तिनको शोक अत्यन्तै ठुलो भएको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
