< Job 24 >
1 Times are not hid from the Almighty: but they that know him, know not his days.
दुष्ट मानिसहरूको न्याय गर्ने समय सर्वशक्तिमान्ले किन तोक्नुभएको छैन? परमेश्वरप्रति विश्वासयोग्य हुनेहरूले उहाँको न्यायको दिन आएको किन देखेका छैनन्?
2 Some have removed landmarks, have taken away flocks by force, and fed them.
यस्ता दुष्ट मानिसहरू पनि छन् जसले साँध-सिमानाका निसानाहरू हटाउँछन् । यस्ता दुष्ट मानिसहरू पनि छन् जसले बगालहरूलाई जबरजस्ती लैजान्छन् र तिनलाई आफ्नै खर्कहरूमा राख्छन् ।
3 They have driven away the ass of the fatherless, and have taken away the widow’s ox for a pledge.
अनाथहरूका गधाहरूलाई तिनीहरूले जबरजस्ती लैजान्छन् । विधवाको गोरुलाई तिनीहरूले बन्धकका रूपमा लैजान्छन् ।
4 They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.
दरिद्र मानिसहरूका उनीहरूका मार्गबाट तिनीहरूले जबरजस्ती हटाउँछन् । पृथ्वीका सबै गरिब मानिसहरू तिनीहरूबाट आफूलाई लुकाउँछन्।
5 Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread for their children.
हेर्नुहोस्, उजाड-स्थानका वन-गधाहरूझैं, यी गरिब मानिसहरू होसियारी भएर खानेकुरा खोज्दै आफ्नो काममा जान्छन् । सायद अराबाले तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई खानेकुरा जुटाउनेछ ।
6 They reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed.
गरिब मानिसहरूले अरूका खेतबारीमा रातमा कटनी गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्टहरूका फसलबाट टिप्न छुटेका दाख बटुल्छन् ।
7 They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold:
तिनीहरू रातभरि लुगाबिना नाङ्गै बस्छन् । जाडोमा ढाक्नलाई तिनीहरूसित केही हुँदैन ।
8 Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones.
तिनीहरू पहाडका झरीले भिजेका छन् । तिनीहरूका बासस्थान नभएको हुनाले तिनीहरू ठुला ढुङ्गाको छेउमा पल्टिन्छन् ।
9 They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people.
यस्ता दुष्ट मानिसहरू छन् जसले अनाथहरूलाई आफ्ना आमाको कोखबाट खोसेर लैजान्छन्, र गरिब मानिसहरूका बालबालिका बन्धकको रूपमा लैजान्छन् ।
10 From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn.
तर गरिब मानिसहरू लुगाविना नाङ्गै जान्छन् । तिनीहरू आफै भोकाएको भए पनि, तिनीहरूले अरूका अन्नका बिटाहरू बोक्छन् ।
11 They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst.
गरिब मानिसहरूले ती दुष्टहरूका पर्खालभित्र तेल पेल्छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्ट मानिसहरूका दाखको कोल पेल्छन्, तर तिनीहरू आफै तिर्खाउँछन् ।
12 Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged.
सहरबाट मर्न लागेको मानिसको क्रन्दन निस्कन्छ, अनि घाइतेको गलाले मदतको लागि चिच्च्याउँछ । तर परमेश्वरले दोष लगाउनुहुन्न ।
13 They have been rebellious to the light, they have not known his ways, neither have they returned by his paths.
केही दुष्ट मानिसहरूले ज्योतिको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले यसका मार्गहरू जान्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरू यसका मार्गहरूमा बस्छन् ।
14 The murderer riseth at the very break of day, he killeth the needy, and the poor man: but in the night he will be as a thief.
उज्यालो हुनुअगि हत्यारा उठ्छ, र त्यसले गरिब तथा दरिद्र मानिसहरूलाई मार्छ । रातमा ऊ चोरजस्तो हुन्छ ।
15 The eye of the adulterer observeth darkness, saying: No eye shall see me: and he will cover his face.
साथै, व्यभिचारीका आँखाले साँझलाई पर्खेर बस्छ । उसले भन्छ, 'कुनै आँखाले मलाई देख्नेछैन ।' उसले आफ्नो भेष बद्लन्छ ।
16 He diggeth through houses in the dark, as in the day they had appointed for themselves, and they have not known the light.
अन्धकारमा दुष्टहरू घर फोरेर भित्र पस्छन्, तर दिउँसोको समयमा तिनीहरू लुक्छन् । तिनीहरूले उज्यालोको वास्ता गर्दैनन् ।
17 If the morning suddenly appear, it is to them the shadow of death: and they walk in darkness as if it were in light.
तिनीहरू सबैका लागि निस्पट्ट अँध्यारो बिहानझैं हुन्छ । किनभने तिनीहरू निस्पट्ट अँध्यारोका त्रासहरूका मित्र हुन् ।
18 He is light upon the face of the water: cursed be his portion on the earth, let him not walk by the way of the vineyards.
तापनि पानीको सतहमा देखा पर्ने फिँजझैं तिनीहरू चाँडै नै बितेर जान्छन् । तिनीहरूको खेतको हिस्सा श्रापित छ । तिनीहरूका दाखबारीहरूमा काम गर्न कोही पनि जाँदैन ।
19 Let him pass from the snow waters to excessive heat, and his sin even to hell. (Sheol )
जसरी खडेरी र तापले हिउँलाई पगालेर पानी बानउँछ, त्यसरी नै पाप गरेकाहरूलाई चिहानले लैजान्छ । (Sheol )
20 Let mercy forget him: may worms be his sweetness: let him be remembered no more, but be broken in pieces as an unfruitful tree.
उसलाई जन्माउने गर्भले उसलाई बिर्सिनेछ । किराले त्यसलाई मिठो मानेर खानेछ । फेरि उसको सम्झना गरिनेछैन । यसरी एउटा रुखलाई झैं दुष्टतालाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिनेछ ।
21 For he hath fed the barren that beareth not, and to the widow he hath done no good.
बच्चा नजन्माएकी बाँझी स्त्रीलाई दुष्टले निलिहाल्छ । उसले विधवाको निम्ति कुनै असल कुरा गर्दैन ।
22 He hath pulled down the strong by his might: and when he standeth up, he shall not trust to his life.
तापनि परमेश्वरले शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले घिसार्नुहुन्छ । उहाँ खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तर जीवनमा तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुहुन्न ।
23 God hath given him place for penance, and he abuseth it unto pride: but his eyes are upon his ways.
तिनीहरू सुरक्षित छन्, र तिनीहरू यसबारे खुसी छन् भनी परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सोच्न दिनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँका आँखा तिनीहरूका मार्गमा हुन्छन् ।
24 They are lifted up for a little while and shall not stand, and shall be brought down as all things, and shall be taken away, and as the tops of the ears of corn they shall be broken.
यी मानिसहरू उच्च पारिएका छन् । तापनि क्षणभरमै तिनीहरू खतम हुनेछन् । वास्तवमा, तिनीहरूलाई निम्न स्तरमा पर्याइनेछ । अरू सबैलाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई पनि जम्मा गरिनेछ । अन्नको बालाझैं तिनीहरूलाई काटिनेछ ।
25 And if it be not so, who can convince me that I have lied, and set my words before God?
यस्तो होइन भने, कसले मलाई झुटा प्रमाणित गर्न सक्छ? कसले मेरो वचनलाई निरर्थक बनाउन सक्छ?
