Job 15
1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,
“के बुद्धिमान् मानिसले व्यर्थको ज्ञानले जवाफ दिनू? र के आफैलाई पूर्वीय बतासले भर्नू?
3 Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good?
के उहाँले बेफाइदाका कुराले, अनि आफूले भलो गर्न नसक्ने बोलीले तर्क गर्नू?
4 Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God.
वास्तवमा तपाईंले परमेश्वरको आदर घटाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँको भक्तिमा तपाईंले बाधा दिनुहुन्छ ।
5 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty.
किनकि तपाईंको अधर्मले तपाईंको मुखलाई सिकाउँछ । धूर्त मानिसको जिब्रो तपाईंले रोज्नुभयो ।
6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.
तपाईंको आफ्नै मुखले तपाईंलाई दोषी ठहराउँछ, मेरो होइन । वास्तवमा, तपाईंको आफ्नै ओठले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा बोल्छ ।
7 Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills?
जन्मेकामध्ये पहिलो मानिस तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ र? पहाडहरूभन्दा पहिले तपाईंलाई बनाइएको हो र?
8 Hast thou listened in the secret council of God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?
तपाईंले परमेश्वरको ज्ञानको गुप्त कुरा सुन्नुभएको छ? तपाईंले बुद्धिलाई आफूमा मात्रै सीमित गर्नुहुन्छ र?
9 What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou which is not in us?
तपाईंलाई के थाहा छ, जुन हामीलाई थाहा छैन? तपाईंले के बुझ्नुहुन्छ, जुन हामीमा पनि नभएको होस्?
10 Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father.
कपाल फुलेका र पाका दुवै मानिसहरू हामीसित छन्, जो तपाईंका पिताभन्दा ज्यादै वृद्ध छन् ।
11 Are the consolations of God too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?
परमेश्वरको सान्त्वना, तपाईंप्रति कोमल वचनहरू, के ती तपाईं ज्यादै तुच्छ छन् र?
12 Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?
तपाईंको हृदयले तपाईंलाई किन टाढा लैजान्छ? तपाईंका आँखा किन चम्किन्छन्?
13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?
जसले गर्दा आफ्नो आत्मालाई तपाईंले परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा फर्काउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो मुखबाट यस्ता वचनहरू बोल्नुहुन्छ?
14 What is man, that he should be pure? and he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
मानिस के हो र ऊ शुद्ध हुनुपर्यो? स्त्रीबाट जन्मेको मानिस को हो जो धर्मी हुनुपर्यो?
15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:
हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले आफ्ना पवित्र जनमाथि पनि भरोसा राख्नुहुन्न । वास्तवमा उहाँको दृष्टिमा स्वर्ग पनि शुद्ध छैन ।
16 How much less the abominable and corrupt, — man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water!
घृणित र भ्रष्ट व्यक्ति झन् कति कम शुद्ध होला, एक जना मानिस जसले अधर्मलाई पानीझैं पिउँछ।
17 I will shew thee, listen to me; and what I have seen I will declare;
म तपाईंलाई देखाउनेछु । मेरो कुरा सुन्नुहोस् । मैले देखेका कुराहरू म तपाईंलाई घोषणा गर्नेछु,
18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hidden;
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूबाट हस्तान्त्रण गरेका कुरा, तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले नलुकाएका कुरा भन्नेछु ।
19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
यी तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू थिए, जसलाई मात्र यो देश दिइएको थियो, र जसका बिचमा कुनै विदेशी बसेन ।
20 All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent.
दुष्टहरू आफ्नो जीवनकालभरि नै दुःखमा पर्छन् । दुःख पाउनलाई अत्याचारीहरूका लागि वर्षका सङ्ख्या तोकिएका छन् ।
21 The sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon him.
उसका कानमा त्रासको सोर सुनिन्छ । उसको उन्नति हुँदा नै विनाशक उसमा आउनेछ ।
22 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is singled out for the sword.
अन्धकारबाट ऊ फर्कनेछ भनी उसले सोच्दैन । तरवारले उसको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ ।
23 He wandereth abroad for bread, — where may it be? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
ऊ रोटी खोज्दै विभिन्न ठाउँमा यसो भन्दै जान्छ, ‘खोई त्यो कहाँ छ?' अन्धकारको समय नजिक आएको छ भनी उसलाई थाहा छ ।
24 Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for the battle.
निराशा र पीडाले त्यसलाई भयभीत पार्छ । युद्धको लागि तयार राजाझैं उसको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूले प्रभुत्व जमाउँछन् ।
25 For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:
परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा उसले आफ्नो हात पसारेको छ, र सर्वशक्तिमान्को विरुद्धमा अहङ्कारले व्यवहार गरेको छ,
26 He runneth against him, with [outstretched] neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;
यो दुष्ट मानिस हठ, बाक्लो ढाल लिएर, परमेश्वरलाई आक्रमण गर्न दौडन्छ ।
27 For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon [his] flanks.
आफ्नो अनुहार आफ्नो बोसोले ढाकेको, अनि आफ्नो कम्मरमा बोसो जाम्मा गरेको भए पनि,
28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, in houses that no man inhabiteth, which are destined to become heaps.
र उजाड सहरहरूमा बसेको छ । अहिले कुनै मानिस नबस्ने घरहरूमा, जुन फोहोरको थुप्रो हुन तयार थिए ।
29 He shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth.
ऊ धनी हुनेछैन । उसको धन-सम्पत्ति टिक्नेछैन, र उसका धनदौलत देशमा फैलिनेछैन ।
30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches; and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
उसले अन्धकारबाट छुटकारा पाउनेछैन । ज्वालाले उसका हाँगाहरूलाई सुकाउनेछ । परमेश्वरको मुखको सासले ऊ मर्नेछ ।
31 Let him not trust in vanity: he is deceived, for vanity shall be his recompense;
आफैलाई धोका दिंदै उसले व्यर्थका कुराहरूमा भरोस नगरोस् । किनभने व्यर्थका कुरा त्यसको इनाम हुनेछ ।
32 It shall be complete before his day, and his branch shall not be green.
उसको मर्ने समयभन्दा पहिले नै यसो हुनेछ । उसको हाँगा हरियो हुनेछैन ।
33 He shall shake off his unripe grapes as a vine, and shall cast his flower as an olive.
नपाकेका अङ्गुर झरेझैं ऊ झर्नेछ । भद्राक्षको बोटबाट फुलहरू झरेझैं ऊ जर्नेछ ।
34 For the family of the ungodly shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
किनकि ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूको समूह बाँझो हुनेछ । तिनीहरूको घुसका पालहरूलाई आगोले भष्म पार्नेछ ।
35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
तिनीहरूले बदमासी गर्भाधारण गर्छन् र अधर्मलाई जन्म दिन्छन् । तिनीहरूको गर्भले धोकालाई ठाउँ दिन्छ ।
