Job 24
1 Why doesn't the Almighty set a definite time to punish the wicked? Why don't those who follow him never see him act in judgment?
दुष्ट मानिसहरूको न्याय गर्ने समय सर्वशक्तिमान्ले किन तोक्नुभएको छैन? परमेश्वरप्रति विश्वासयोग्य हुनेहरूले उहाँको न्यायको दिन आएको किन देखेका छैनन्?
2 The wicked move boundary stones; they seize other people's flocks and move them to their own pastures.
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 steal the orphan's donkey; they take the widow's ox as security for a debt.
अनाथहरूका गधाहरूलाई तिनीहरूले जबरजस्ती लैजान्छन् । विधवाको गोरुलाई तिनीहरूले बन्धकका रूपमा लैजान्छन् ।
4 They push the poor out of their way; the destitute are forced to hide from them.
दरिद्र मानिसहरूका उनीहरूका मार्गबाट तिनीहरूले जबरजस्ती हटाउँछन् । पृथ्वीका सबै गरिब मानिसहरू तिनीहरूबाट आफूलाई लुकाउँछन्।
5 Like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor have to scavenge for their food, looking for anything to feed their children in the wasteland.
हेर्नुहोस्, उजाड-स्थानका वन-गधाहरूझैं, यी गरिब मानिसहरू होसियारी भएर खानेकुरा खोज्दै आफ्नो काममा जान्छन् । सायद अराबाले तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई खानेकुरा जुटाउनेछ ।
6 They are forced to find what they can in other people's fields, to glean among the vineyards of the wicked.
गरिब मानिसहरूले अरूका खेतबारीमा रातमा कटनी गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्टहरूका फसलबाट टिप्न छुटेका दाख बटुल्छन् ।
7 They spend the night naked because they have no clothes; they have nothing to cover themselves against the cold.
तिनीहरू रातभरि लुगाबिना नाङ्गै बस्छन् । जाडोमा ढाक्नलाई तिनीहरूसित केही हुँदैन ।
8 They are soaked by the cold mountain storms, and huddle beside the rocks for shelter.
तिनीहरू पहाडका झरीले भिजेका छन् । तिनीहरूका बासस्थान नभएको हुनाले तिनीहरू ठुला ढुङ्गाको छेउमा पल्टिन्छन् ।
9 Fatherless children are snatched from their mother's breasts, taking the babies of the poor as security for a debt.
यस्ता दुष्ट मानिसहरू छन् जसले अनाथहरूलाई आफ्ना आमाको कोखबाट खोसेर लैजान्छन्, र गरिब मानिसहरूका बालबालिका बन्धकको रूपमा लैजान्छन् ।
10 Because they have no clothes to wear they have to go naked, harvesting sheaves of grain while they themselves are hungry.
तर गरिब मानिसहरू लुगाविना नाङ्गै जान्छन् । तिनीहरू आफै भोकाएको भए पनि, तिनीहरूले अरूका अन्नका बिटाहरू बोक्छन् ।
11 In the olive groves they work to produce oil, but do not taste it; they tread the winepress, but are thirsty.
गरिब मानिसहरूले ती दुष्टहरूका पर्खालभित्र तेल पेल्छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्ट मानिसहरूका दाखको कोल पेल्छन्, तर तिनीहरू आफै तिर्खाउँछन् ।
12 In the city the dying groan, and the wounded cry for help, but God ignores their prayers.
सहरबाट मर्न लागेको मानिसको क्रन्दन निस्कन्छ, अनि घाइतेको गलाले मदतको लागि चिच्च्याउँछ । तर परमेश्वरले दोष लगाउनुहुन्न ।
13 These are people who rebel against the light. They do not want to know its ways, or to stay on its paths.
केही दुष्ट मानिसहरूले ज्योतिको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले यसका मार्गहरू जान्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरू यसका मार्गहरूमा बस्छन् ।
14 The murderer gets up at dawn to kill the poor and needy, and when night falls he becomes a thief.
उज्यालो हुनुअगि हत्यारा उठ्छ, र त्यसले गरिब तथा दरिद्र मानिसहरूलाई मार्छ । रातमा ऊ चोरजस्तो हुन्छ ।
15 The adulterer waits for dusk, saying to himself, ‘No one will see me now,’ and he covers his face.
साथै, व्यभिचारीका आँखाले साँझलाई पर्खेर बस्छ । उसले भन्छ, 'कुनै आँखाले मलाई देख्नेछैन ।' उसले आफ्नो भेष बद्लन्छ ।
16 Thieves break into houses during the night and they sleep during the day. They don't even know what the light is like!
अन्धकारमा दुष्टहरू घर फोरेर भित्र पस्छन्, तर दिउँसोको समयमा तिनीहरू लुक्छन् । तिनीहरूले उज्यालोको वास्ता गर्दैनन् ।
17 Total darkness is like light to them, for they are familiar with the night.
तिनीहरू सबैका लागि निस्पट्ट अँध्यारो बिहानझैं हुन्छ । किनभने तिनीहरू निस्पट्ट अँध्यारोका त्रासहरूका मित्र हुन् ।
18 Like bubbles on the surface of a river they are quickly carried away. The land they own is cursed by God. They don't enter their own 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 Just as heat and drought dry up snowmelt, so Sheol takes away those who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
जसरी खडेरी र तापले हिउँलाई पगालेर पानी बानउँछ, त्यसरी नै पाप गरेकाहरूलाई चिहानले लैजान्छ । (Sheol h7585)
20 Even their mothers forget them, maggots feast on them, they are no longer remembered, and their wickedness becomes like a tree that is broken into pieces.
उसलाई जन्माउने गर्भले उसलाई बिर्सिनेछ । किराले त्यसलाई मिठो मानेर खानेछ । फेरि उसको सम्झना गरिनेछैन । यसरी एउटा रुखलाई झैं दुष्टतालाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिनेछ ।
21 They mistreat childless women and are mean to widows.
बच्चा नजन्माएकी बाँझी स्त्रीलाई दुष्टले निलिहाल्छ । उसले विधवाको निम्ति कुनै असल कुरा गर्दैन ।
22 God prolongs the life of the wicked by his power; but when they arise, they have no assurance of life.
तापनि परमेश्वरले शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले घिसार्नुहुन्छ । उहाँ खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तर जीवनमा तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुहुन्न ।
23 He supports them and gives them security, but he is always watching what they're doing.
तिनीहरू सुरक्षित छन्, र तिनीहरू यसबारे खुसी छन् भनी परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सोच्न दिनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँका आँखा तिनीहरूका मार्गमा हुन्छन् ।
24 Though they may be illustrious for a while, soon they are gone. They are brought down like all others, cut off like the heads of grain.
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 If this isn't so, who can prove I'm a liar and there's nothing to what I say?”
यस्तो होइन भने, कसले मलाई झुटा प्रमाणित गर्न सक्छ? कसले मेरो वचनलाई निरर्थक बनाउन सक्छ?
