Job 8
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
तब बिल्दाद शुहीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
“तपाईं कहिलेसम्म यी कुरा भन्नुहुन्छ? कहिलेसम्म तपाईंको मुखका वचन शक्तिशाली बतास हुनेछन्?
3 Does God give wrong decisions? or is the Ruler of all not upright in his judging?
के परमेश्वरले न्यायमा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र? के सर्वशक्तिमान्ले धार्मिकतामा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र?
4 If your children have done evil against him, then their punishment is from his hand.
तपाईंका छोराछोरीले उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छन् । हामी यो जान्दछौं, किनकि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै पापमा मर्न दिनुभयो ।
5 If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;
तर मानौँ, तपाईंले परमेश्वरलाई बडो मेहनत गरेर खोज्नुभयो, अनि आफ्नो बिन्ती सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई चढाउनुभयो ।
6 If you are clean and upright; then he will certainly be moved to take up your cause, and will make clear your righteousness by building up your house again.
तपाईं शुद्ध र सोझो हुनुहुन्छ भने, उहाँले निश्चय पनि तपाईंको पक्ष लिनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंको उचित स्थानमा तपाईंलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्नुहुन्छ ।
7 And though your start was small, your end will be very great.
तपाईंको सुरुआत् सानो भए तापनि, तपाईंको आखिरी अवस्था महान् हुन्छ ।
8 Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:
कृपया पहिलेका पुस्ताहरूलाई सोध्नुहोस्, र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले सिकेका कुरामा आफ्नो ध्यान लगाउनुहोस् ।
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade: )
(हामी हिजो मात्र जन्मियौं र हामी केही जन्दैनौं, किनकि पृथ्वीमा हाम्रा दिनहरू छाया मात्र हो ।)
10 Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you?
के तिनले तपाईंलाई सिकाउने र भन्ने छैनन् र? के तिनले आफ्ना हृदयहरूबाट वचन बोल्ने छैनन्?
11 Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?
के दलदल नभएको ठाउँमा नर्कट उम्रन्छ? के पानीविना निगालाहरू बढ्छन्?
12 When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.
ती अझै हरिया छँदै र नकाटकै बेलामा, अरू कुनै बिरुवाभन्दा पहिले नै ती सुक्छन् ।
13 So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:
परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सनेहरू सबैका मार्गहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्छन् । ईश्वरहीनको आशा नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
14 Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread.
उसको दृढता टुक्राटुक्रा हुनेछन्, र उसको भरोसा माकुरोको जालझैं कमजोर हुन्छ ।
15 He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.
ऊ आफ्नो घरमा अडेल लग्छ, तर त्यसले उसलाई थाम्दैन । उसले त्यसमा समात्छ, तर यो अडिंदैन ।
16 He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden.
घामको मुनि त्यो हरियो हुन्छ, र त्यसका पालुवाहरू त्यसको सारा बगैँचामा फैलिन्छ ।
17 His roots are twisted round the stones, forcing their way in between them.
त्यसका जराहरू ढुङ्गाको थुप्रो वरिपरि बेरिन्छन् । तिनले चट्टानहरूका बिचमा राम्रा ठाउँहरू खोज्छन् ।
18 If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you.
तर यो व्यक्ति आफ्नो ठाउँ बाहिर नष्ट भयो भने, तब त्यो ठाउँले उसलाई इन्कार गर्नेछ र भन्नेछ, 'मैले तँलाई कहिल्यै देखिनँ ।'
19 Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.
हेर्नुहोस्, त्यस्तो व्यक्तिको व्यवहारको 'आनन्द' यही हो । त्यसको ठाउँमा उही माटोबाट अन्य बिरुवाहरू उम्रनेछन् ।
20 Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.
हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले निर्दोष मानिसलाई फाल्नुहुन्न, न त उहाँले दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूका हातलाई मदत गर्नुहुन्छ ।
21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
तर पनि उहाँले तपाईंको मुखमा हाँसो, र तपाईंको ओठमा आनन्दको सोरले भर्नुहुनेछ ।
22 Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.
तपाईंलाई घृणा गर्नेहरू लाजले ढाकिनेछन् । दुष्टको पाल फेरि रहनेछैन ।”
