Job 40
1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
परमप्रभुले अय्यूबसित निरन्तर बोल्नुभयो । उहाँले यसो भन्नुभयो,
2 Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
“आलोचना गर्न चाहनेले सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई सुधार्ने कोसिस गर्नुपर्छ र? जसले परमेश्वरसित विवाद गर्छ, त्यसले जवाफ देओस् ।”
3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
तब अय्यूबले परमेश्वरलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay my hand on my mouth.
“हेर्नुहोस्, म नगण्य छु । मैले तपाईंलाई कसरी जवाफ दिन सक्छु र? म आफ्नो हातलाई आफ्नो मुखमा राख्छु ।
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.
मैले एकपल्ट बोलें, अनि म अब जवाफ दिने छैनँ । वास्तवमा दुई पकट बोलें, तर म अरू अगाडि बढनेछैनँ ।”
6 Then answered the LORD to Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
तब परमप्रभुले प्रचण्ड आँधीबाट अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो,
7 Gird up your loins now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you to me.
“अब एक जना मानिसले झैं आफ्नो कम्मर कस्, किनकि म तँलाई प्रश्नहरू सोध्नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनैपर्छ ।
8 Will you also cancel my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
के म अन्यायी छु भनेर तँ साँच्चै भन्छस्? तैंले आफू ठिक छु भनी दाबी गर्नलाई तँ मलाई दोष लगाउँछस्?
9 Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?
के तँसँग परमेश्वरको जस्तो पाखुरा छ? के तँ उहाँको जस्तो आवाजले गर्जन सक्छस्?
10 Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.
अब महिमा र इज्जतले आफैलाई सुसज्जित पार । आदर र ऐश्वर्यले आफैलाई सुसोभित पार ।
11 Cast abroad the rage of your wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
तेरो रिसको झोँक छरपष्ट पार् । हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् ।
12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् । दुष्ट मानिसहरू खडा भएकै ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई कुल्ची ।
13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ जमिनमा गाडिदे । तिनीहरूका अनुरहरूलाई लुकाइएको ठाउँमा कैद गर् ।
14 Then will I also confess to you that your own right hand can save you.
तब तेरो दाहिने हातले तँलाई बचाउन सक्दोरहेछ, भनेर म तेरो विषयमा स्वीकार गर्नेछु ।
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox.
अब मैले तँलाई बनाउँदा बनाएको बहेमोथलाई विचार गर् । एउटा गोरुले झैं त्यसले घाँस खान्छ ।
16 See now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
हेर्, त्यसको बल त्यसको कम्मरमा हुन्छ । त्यसको शक्ति त्यसको पेटको मांसपेशीमा हुन्छ ।
17 He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
त्यसले आफ्नो पुच्छर देवदारुको रुखझैं बनाउँछ । त्यसको तिघ्राका नसाहरू कसिएका हुन्छन् ।
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
त्यसका हड्डीहरू काँसाका नलीहरूझैं हुन्छन् । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू फलामका गजबारहरूझैं हुन्छन् ।
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach to him.
परमेश्वरका सृष्टिहरूमध्ये त्यो मुख्य हो । त्यसलाई बनाउनुहुने परमेश्वरले मात्र त्यसलाई पराजित गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
किनकि पहाडहरूले त्यसलाई खानेकुरो जुटाउँछन् । वन-पशुहरू त्यसकै नजिक खेल्छन् ।
21 He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
कमलको फुलमुनि त्यो लुकेर बस्छ । निगालोको झाडीको छाया र सिमसारहरूमा त्यो लुक्छ ।
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
कमलको फुलको छायाले त्यसलाई ढाक्छ । खोलाका लहरे-पीपलहरूले त्यसलाई चारैतिर घेर्छ ।
23 Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastens not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
नदीको बाडी उर्लेर किनारमा आयो भने त्यो काँप्दैन । यर्दन नदी नै उर्लेर आई त्यसको मुखमा पस्यो भने पनि त्यो निर्धक्क हुन्छ ।
24 He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.
के कसैले त्यसलाई बल्छीले पक्रन सक्छ? अथवा पासो थापेर त्यसको नाक छेड्न सक्छ?
