< Job 5 >
1 Give now a cry for help; is there anyone who will give you an answer? and to which of the holy ones will you make your prayer?
अहिले बोलाउनुहोस् । तपाईंलाई जवाफ दिने कुनै व्यक्ति छ? पवित्र मानिसहरूमध्ये कुनतिर तपाईं फर्कनुहुनेछ?
2 For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.
किनकि मूर्ख मानिसलाई रिसले मार्छ। सजिलै छलमा पर्नेलाई ईर्ष्याले मार्छ ।
3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly the curse came on his house.
मूर्ख व्यक्तिले जरा गाडेको मैले देखेको छु, तर मैले एक्कासि त्यसको घरलाई सराप दिएँ ।
4 Now his children have no safe place, and they are crushed before the judges, for no one takes up their cause.
त्यसका छोराछोरी बिल्कुलै सुरक्षित छैनन् । तिनीहरू सहरको मूल ढोकामा कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिएका छन् । तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिने कोही छैन ।
5 Their produce is taken by him who has no food, and their grain goes to the poor, and he who is in need of water gets it from their spring.
भोकाएकाहरूले आफ्नो फसल खान्छन् । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई काँढाहरूका बिचबाट पनि बटुल्छन् । तिर्खाएकाहरूले आफ्नो धन-सम्पत्तिको तृष्णा गर्छन् ।
6 For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;
किनकि कठिनाइ माटोबाट आउँदैन । न त भुइँबाट समस्या उम्रन्छ ।
7 But trouble is man's fate from birth, as the flames go up from the fire.
बरु, मानव-जाति कष्टकै लागि जन्मन्छन्, जसरी आगोको झिल्काहरू माथि उड्छन् ।
8 But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:
तर मेरो बारेमा, स्वयम् परमेश्वरकहाँ नै म फर्कन्छु । उहाँमा नै म आफ्नो गुनासो समर्पित गर्छु—
9 Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:
महान् अनि अगम्य कुराहरू गर्नुहुने, अनगिन्ती उदेकका कामहरू गर्नुहुने उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
10 Who gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields:
उहाँले पृथ्वीमा वृष्टि दिनुहुन्छ, र खेतबारीमा पानी पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
11 Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place;
नम्रहरूलाई उच्च स्थानमा राख्नलाई अनि शोक गर्नेहरूलाई सुरक्षित उचाल्नलाई उहाँले यसो गर्नुहुन्छ ।
12 Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.
धूर्त मानिसहरूका हातले सफलता नपाओस् भनेर, उहाँले तिनीहरूका योजनाहरूलाई विफल तुल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
13 He takes the wise in their secret designs, and the purposes of the twisted are cut off suddenly.
उहाँले बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका आफ्नै धूर्त कामहरूमा पासोमा पार्नुहुन्छ । टेडा मानिसहरूका योजनाहरू अन्त्यको लागि हतारिन्छन् ।
14 In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night.
तिनीहरूले दिउँसै अन्धकार भेट्टाउँछन्, अनि मध्यदिनमा पनि रातमा झैं छामेर हिंड्छन् ।
15 But he keeps safe from their sword those who have no father, and the poor from the power of the strong.
तर उहाँले गरिबहरूलाई तिनीहरूको मुखमा भएको तरवारदेखि र खाँचोमा परेकालाई शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूको हातबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
16 So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.
त्यसैले गरिब मानिसको आशा छ, र अन्यायले त्यसको आफ्नै मुख बन्द गर्छ ।
17 Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.
हेर, त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो, जसलाई परमेश्वरले सुधार्नुहुन्छ । त्यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान्को ताडनालाई इन्कार नगर ।
18 For after his punishment he gives comfort, and after wounding, his hands make you well.
किनकि उहाँले चोट पुर्याउनुहुन्छ, र पट्टी बाँध्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले चोट पुर्याउनुहुन्छ र आफ्नै हातले निको पार्नुहुन्छ ।
19 He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.
उहाँले तपाईंलाई छवटा कष्टबाट छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ । वास्तवमा सातौं कष्टमा पनि कुनै दुष्ट्याइँले तपाईंलाई छुँदैन ।
20 When there is need of food he will keep you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
अनिकालको समयमा मृत्युबाट मोल तिरेर, र युद्धमा तरवारको हातबाट उहाँले तपाईंलाई छुटाउनुहुनेछ ।
21 He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.
झूट बोल्ने जिब्रोको कोर्राबाट तपाईंलाई लुकाइनेछ, र जब विनाश आउँछ, तब तपाईं त्यसबाट डराउनुहुनेछैन ।
22 You will make sport of destruction and need, and will have no fear of the beasts of the earth.
विनाश र अनिकाल देखेर तपाईं हास्नुहुनेछ, अनि पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरूदेखि तपाईं डराउनुहुनेछैनौ ।
23 For you will be in agreement with the stones of the earth, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
किनकि तपाईंको खेतमा भएका ढुङ्गाहरूसित तपाईंले करार बाँध्नुहुनेछ, र वनका पशुहरू तपाईंसित मिलापमा रहनेछन् ।
24 And you will be certain that your tent is at peace, and after looking over your property you will see that nothing is gone.
तपाईंको पाल सुरक्षित छ भनी तपाईंले जान्नुहुनेछ । तपाईं आफ्नो भेडी-गोठ हेर्न जानुहुनेछ र एउटा पनि नहराएको तपाईंले पाउनुहुनेछैन ।
25 You will be certain that your seed will be great, and your offspring like the plants of the earth.
तपाईंले यो जान्नुहुनेछ, तपाईंको सन्तान महान् हुनेछ, तपाईंका छोराछोरी जमिनको घाँसझैं हुनेछन् ।
26 You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.
तपाईं आफ्नो चिहानमा पूरा बढो भएर आउनुहुनेछ । जसरी आफ्नो समयमा अन्नका मुट्ठाहरूको चाङ हुनेछ ।
27 See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.
हेर्नुहोस्, हामीले यस विषयलाई जाँच गरेका छौं । यो यस्तो छ । यसलाई सुन्नुहोस् र आफ्नै निम्ति यसलाई चिन्नुहोस् ।”
