< Job 9 >

1 Then Job answered and said,
तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 I know of a truth that it is so: for how shall a mortal man be just before the Lord?
“यो यस्‍तै हो भनी म साँच्‍चै जान्दछु । तर एक व्यक्ति कसरी परमेश्‍वसित ठिक हुन सक्छ?
3 For if he would enter into judgement with him, [God] would not listen to him, so that he should answer to one of his charges of a thousand.
उसले परमेश्‍वरसित तर्क गर्न चाह्यो भने, उसले हजारपल्टमा एकपल्ट पनि जवाफ दिन सक्दैन ।
4 For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: who has hardened himself against him and endured?
परमेश्‍वर हृदयमा बुद्धिमान् र बलमा शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको विरुद्धमा कसले आफूलाई कहिलै कठोर पारेको अनि सफल भएको छ र?
5 Who wears out the mountains, and [men] know it not: who overturns them in anger.
जब उहाँले आफ्नो क्रोधमा पर्वतहरूलाई पल्टाउनुहुन्‍छ, तब उहाँले कसैलाई चेताउनी नदिइएर ती हटाउनुहुन्छ ।
6 Who shakes the [earth] under heaven from its foundations, and its pillars totter.
उहाँले पृथ्वीलाई यसको आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हल्लाउनुहुन्छ, र यसका टेकाहरूलाई कँपाउनुहुन्छ ।
7 Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and he seals up the stars.
उहाँ उही परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले सूर्यलाई नउदाउन भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र त्‍यो उदाउँदैन, र जसले ताराहरूलाई ढाक्‍नुहुन्छ,
8 Who alone has stretched out the heavens, and walks on the sea as on firm ground.
जो आफैले आकाशलाई तन्‍काउनुहुन्छ, र समुद्रका छालहरूलाई कुल्चिनुहुन्छ,
9 Who makes Pleias, and Hesperus, and Arcturus, and the chambers of the south.
उहाँले सप्‍तर्षि, मृगशिरा र किरकिटी ताराहरू र दक्षिणका तारापुञ्जहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
10 Who does great and unsearchable things; glorious also and excellent things, innumerable.
उहाँले महान् र अगम्‍य कुराहरू, अनि अनगिन्ती उदेकका कामहरू गर्नुहुन्छ ।
11 If ever he should go beyond me, I shall not see him: if he should pass by me, neither thus have I known [it].
हेर, उहाँ मेरो छेउबाट जानुहुन्छ, र पनि म उहाँलाई देख्दिनँ । उहाँ आफ्नो बाटो हिंड्नुहुँदा मलाई पत्तै हुँदैन ।
12 If he would take away, who shall turn him back? or who shall say to him, What have you done?
उहाँले कुनै कुरो खोस्‍नुभयो भने कसले उहाँलाई रोक्‍न सक्छ? कसले उहाँलाई भन्‍न सक्छ, 'तपाईं के गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ?'
13 For [if] he has turned away [his] anger, the whales under heaven have stooped under him.
परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो रिस रोक्‍नुहुन्‍न । राहाबका सहयोगीहरू उहाँको मुनि झुक्छन् ।
14 Oh then that he would listen to me, or judge my cause.
कति थोरै जवाफ मैले उहाँलाई दिन सक्छु, उहाँसित तर्क गर्न म शब्दहरू छान्‍न सक्छु र?
15 For though I be righteous, he will not listen to me: I will entreat his judgement.
म धर्मी भए तापनि मैले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिन सक्‍दिन । मेरा न्यायकर्तासँत मैले कृपाको लागि बिन्ती मात्र चढाउन सक्‍छु ।
16 And if I should call and he should not listen, I can’t believe that he has listened to my voice.
मैले उहाँलाई पुकारेँ, र उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो भने पनि, उहाँले मेरो आवाज सुन्‍नुभयो भनेर म विश्‍वास गर्दिनँ ।
17 Let him not crush me with a dark storm: but he has made by bruises many without cause.
किनकि उहाँले मलाई आँधीले तोड्नुहुन्छ, र विनाकारण मेरा घाउहरू बढाउनुहुन्छ ।
18 For he suffers me not to take breath, but he has filled me with bitterness.
उहाँले मलाई फेरि सास फेर्ने दिनुहुन्‍न, तर उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भर्नुहुन्छ ।
19 For indeed he is strong in power: who then shall resist his judgement?
ताकतको विषय हो भने, उहाँ शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ । न्यायको विषय हो भने, कसले उहाँलाई बोलाउन सक्छ?
20 For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane: and though I should seem blameless, I shall be proved perverse.
म ठिक भए पनि मेरो आफ्नै मुखले मलाई दोषी ठहराउँछ । र म दोषरहित भए पनि मेरा वचनले मलाई दोषी प्रमाणित गर्छन् ।
21 For even if I have sinned, I know it not [in] my soul: but my life is taken away.
म दोषरहित छु, तर अब फेरि म आफ्‍नै बारेमा वास्ता गर्दिनँ । मेरो आफ्नै जीवनलाई म घृणा गर्छु ।
22 Therefore I said, Wrath slays the great and mighty man.
यसले मलाई केही फरक पार्दैन । त्यसैले म भन्छु, उहाँले दोषरहित र दुष्‍ट मानिसलाई सँगसँगै नष्‍ट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
23 For the worthless die, but the righteous are laughed to scorn.
जब कोर्राले अकस्मात् मार्छ, तब उहाँले निर्दोषहरूको निराशाको उपहास गर्नुहुन्छ ।
24 For they are delivered into the hands of the unrighteous [man]: he covers the faces of the judges [of the earth]: but if it be not he, who is it?
पृथ्वी दुष्‍ट मानिसको हातमा दिइएको छ । परमेश्‍वरले यसका न्यायकर्ताहरूका मुहार ढाक्‍नुहन्छ । यसो गर्ने उहाँ हुनुहुन्‍न भने त्‍यो को हो त?
25 But my life is swifter than a post: [my days] have fled away, and they knew it not.
मेरा दिनहरू कुद्‍ने दूतभन्दा पनि द्रुत गतिमा दौडन्छन् । मेरा दिनहरू भाग्छन् । तिनले कतै पनि भलो देख्दैनन् ।
26 Or again, is there a trace of [their] path [left] by ships? or is there one of the flying eagle as it seeks [its] prey?
ती निगालोको डुङ्गाजस्तै चाँडो बगेर छन्, र आफ्नो सिकारलाई वेगसित झम्टने चीलझैं छन् ।
27 And if I should say, I will forget to speak, I will bow down my face and groan;
आफ्‍ना गुनासाहरूको विषयमा म बिर्सन्छु, आफ्‍नो निराश अनुहार म हटाउँछु र खुसी हुन्छु भनें पनि,
28 I quake in all my limbs, for I know that you will not leave me alone [as] innocent.
आफ्‍ना सबै शोकदेखि म डराउँछु, किनकि तपाईंले मलाई निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुने छैन भनी म जान्‍दछु ।
29 But since I am ungodly, why have I not died?
म दोषी ठहराइने छु । तब मैले किन व्यर्थैमा कोसिस गर्ने?
30 For if I should wash myself with snow, and purge myself with pure hands,
आफैलाई मैले हिउँको पानीले धोएँ, र आफ्‍ना हात अत्यन्तै सफा बनाए पनि,
31 you had thoroughly plunged me in filth, and my garment had abhorred me.
परमेश्‍वरले मलाई हिलैमा फाल्नुहुन्छ, र मेरा आफ्नै लुगाहरूले मलाई घृणा गर्छन् ।
32 For you are not man like me, with whom I could contend, that we might come together to judgement.
किनकि परमेश्‍वर मजस्तै मानिस हुनुहुन्‍न, कि म उहाँलाई जवाफ दिन सकूँ, वा अदालतमा हामी सँगसँगै आउन सकौं ।
33 Would that [he] our mediator were [present], and a reprover, and one who should hear [the cause] between both.
हाम्रा बिचमा कुनै न्यायधीश छैन, जसले हामी दुवैमाथि आफ्‍ना हात पसार्न सक्छ ।
34 Let him remove [his] rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
अर्को कुनै न्यायाधीश छैन, जसले परमेश्‍वरको लौरो मबाट हटाउन सक्छ, जसले मलाई भयभीत पार्नबाट उहाँको त्रासलाई रोक्‍न सक्छ ।
35 so shall I not be afraid, but I will speak: for I am not thus conscious [of guilt].
तब म बोल्‍नेछु र उहाँदेखि डराउँदिनँ, तर अहिलेको जस्ता कुराहरू छन्, म त्यसो गर्न सक्दिनँ ।
