< Job 4 >
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 If we analyse to commune with you, will you be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
“कसैलाई तपाईंसित कुरा गर्ने प्रयास गर्यो भने के तपाईं अधैर्य बन्नुहुन्छ? तर कसले आफैलाई बोल्नबाट रोक्न सक्छ?
3 Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.
हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले धेरैलाई शिक्षा दिनुभएको छ । तपाईंले दुर्बल हातहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुभएको छ ।
4 Your words have raised up him that was falling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.
तपाईंका वचनहरूले त्यस्तोलाई सम्हालेको छ जो पतन हुँदै थियो। तपाईंले कमजोर घुँडाहरूलाई दरिलो पार्नुभएको छ ।
5 But now it has come upon you, and you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled.
तर अहिले सङ्कष्ट तपाईंमा आएको छ, र तपाईं थकित हुनुहुन्छ । यसले तपाईंलाई छोएको छ, र तपाईंलाई कष्ट भएको छ ।
6 Is not this your fear, your confidence, your hope, and the uprightness of your ways?
के तपाईंको डर तपाईंको निश्चयता, अनि तपाईंका मार्गहरूका सत्यनिष्ठा तपाईंको आशा होइन र?
7 Remember, I pray you, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
कृपा गरी यस विषयमा सोच्नुहोस्: निर्दोष हुँदा पनि कुनै व्यक्ति कहिलै नष्ट भएको छ र? अर्थात् सोझा मानिसहरू कहिले मारिएका थिए र?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
जे मैले देखेको छु त्यसअनुसार, अधर्म जोत्नेहरू र कष्ट छर्नेहरूले नै त्यसको कटनी गर्छन् ।
9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
परमेश्वरको सासले तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । उहाँको क्रोधको बिष्फोटले तिनीहरू भस्म हुन्छन् ।
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
सिंहको गर्जन, हिंस्रक सिंहको सोर र जवान सिंहहरूका दाँत— ती भाँचिएका छन् ।
11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
सिकारको अभावले बुढो सिंह नष्ट हुन्छ । सिंहनीका डमरुहरू जताततै छरपष्ट भएका हुन्छन् ।
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
यति बेला कुनै कुरा गुप्तमा मकहाँ ल्याइयो, र मेरो कानले यसको बारेमा कानेखुसी सुन्यो ।
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
जब मानिसहरू घोर निद्रामा पर्छन्, तब रातको सपनाहरूद्वारा विचारहरू आए ।
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
त्यो रातमा नै थियो जुन बेला ममाथि डर र त्रास आए, र मेरा सबै हड्डी कामे ।
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
तब मेरै अनुहारको सामुन्नेबाट एउटा आत्मा गयो, र मेरो शरीरको रौं ठाडो भयो ।
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
त्यो आत्मा खडा भयो, तर त्यसको दृष्यलाई मैले ठम्याउन सकिनँ । त्यसको स्वरूप मेरा आँखाकै सामु थियो । त्यहाँ मौनता थियो, र मैले यसो भनेको एउटा आवाज सुनें,
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
“के मरणशील मानिस परमेश्वरभन्दा बढी धर्मी हुन्छ र? के मानिस आफूलाई बनाउनेभन्दा बढी शुद्ध हुन्छ?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले आफ्ना सेवकहरूमाथि भरोसा गर्नुहुन्न भने, उहाँले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई मूर्खताको दोष लगाउनुहुन्छ भने,
19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
माटोका घरहरूमा बस्नेहरूको बारेमा झन् यो कति साँचो हुन्छ? जसको जग धूलोमा छ, जो कीराभन्दा चाँडै कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिन्छन् ।
20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
बिहान र बेलुकीको बिचमा तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । कसैको जानकारीविना नै तिनीहरू सदाको लागि नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
21 Does not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
के तिनीहरूका पालका डोरीहरू तिनीहरूकै बिचमा तानिएका छैनन् र? तिनीहरू मर्छन् । तिनीहरू बुद्धिविना मर्छन् ।
