< Job 42 >

1 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
तब अय्यूबले परमप्रभुलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
2 I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
“तपाईंले सबै कुरा गर्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ भनी म जान्‍दछु, र तपाईंको कुनै पनि उद्देश्यलाई रोक्‍न सकिंदैन ।
3 Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.
तपाईंले सोध्‍नुभयो, 'ज्ञानविना योजनाहरू लुकाउने को हो?' वास्तवमा मैले यस्ता कुराहरू बोलेको छु, जुन मैले बुझिनँ, जुन बुझ्न मलाई अत्यन्तै गार्‍हो थियो, जसको बारेमा मलाई थाहा थिएन ।
4 Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
तपाईंले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'अब सुन्, र म बोल्नेछु । म तँलाई सोध्‍नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनेछस् ।'
5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
तपाईंको विषयमा मेरा कानले मात्र मैले सुनेको थिएँ, तर अहिले मेरा आँखाले नै तपाईंलाई देखेका छन् ।
6 For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
त्यसैले म आफैलाई हीन ठान्‍छु । धूलो र खरानीमा बसेर म पश्‍चात्ताप गर्छु ।”
7 And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
परमप्रभुले अय्यूबसित यी वचनहरू बोल्‍नुभएपछि, उहाँले एलीपज तेमानीलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तँ र तेरा दुई जना मित्रको विरुद्धमा मेरो क्रोध दन्किएको छ, किनकि मेरो दास अय्यूबले झैं तिमीहरूले मेरो विषयमा जे ठिक छ, सो बोलेका छैनौ ।
8 And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
त्यसकारण अब आफ्‍नो निम्‍ति सातवटा साँढे र सातवटा भेडा लेओ, मेरो दास अय्यूबकहाँ जाओ, र आफ्नो लागि होमबलि चढाओ । मेरो दास अय्यूबले तिमीहरूका लागि प्रार्थना चढाउनेछ, र म त्यसको प्रार्थना ग्रहण गर्नेछु, जसको कारणले तिमीहरूको मूर्खताअनुरूपको व्यवहार मैले तिमीहरूसित गर्न नपरोस् । मेरो दास अय्यूबले भनेझैं तिमीहरूले मेरो विषयमा जे ठिक छ, सो बोलेका छैनौ ।”
9 And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.
त्यसैले एलीपज तेमानी, बिल्दद शुही र सोपर नमाती गए, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएझैं गरे, अनि परमप्रभुले अय्यूबको प्रार्थना ग्रहण गर्नुभयो ।
10 And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.
अय्यूबले आफ्ना मित्रहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरेपछि, परमप्रभुले तिनको सुदिन पुनर्स्थापित गर्नुभयो । तिनीसित पहिले भएकोभन्दा परमप्रभुले तिनलाई दोब्बर दिनुभयो ।
11 And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.
तब अय्यूबका सबै दाजु-भाइ, दिदी-बहिनी र तिनले पहिले चिनेका सबै जना तिनीकहाँ आए, र तिनको घरमा भोज गरे । परमप्रभुले तिनीमाथि ल्याउनुभएका सबै विपत्तिको निम्ति तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सहानुभूति र सान्त्वना प्रकट गरे । हरेकले अय्यूबलाई चाँदीको टुक्रा र सुनको औँठी दिए ।
12 And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
परमप्रभुले अय्यूबको जीवनको अगिल्लो समयमा भन्दा पछिल्लो समयमा झन् धेरै आशिष् दिनुभयो । तिनका चौध हजार भेडा, छ हजार ऊँट, एक हजार हल गोरु र एक हजार गधैनी थिए ।
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
तिनका सात छोरा र तिन छोरी पनि थिए ।
14 And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
तिनले जेठीको नाउँ यमीमा, माहिलीको नाउँ कसीआ र कान्छीको नाउँ केरेन-हप्पूक राखे ।
15 And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.
सारा देशमा अय्यूबका छोरीहरूजत्तिकै सुन्दरी कुनै स्‍त्रीहरू पनि थिएनन् । तिनीहरूका पिताले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍ना दाजुभाइसरह नै पैतृक-अंश दिए ।
16 And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
यसपछि अय्यूब थप १४० वर्षसम्म बाँचे । तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरू, नातिहरू र चार पुस्तासम्मका सन्तानहरूलाई देखे ।
17 And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
तब पुरा बुढेसकालमा दीर्घायू भएर अय्यूब मरे ।
