< Job 15 >
1 Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 Will a wise man give for answer a [mere] breath of wisdom? and does he fill up the pain of his belly,
“के बुद्धिमान् मानिसले व्यर्थको ज्ञानले जवाफ दिनू? र के आफैलाई पूर्वीय बतासले भर्नू?
3 reasoning with improper sayings, and with words wherein is no profit?
के उहाँले बेफाइदाका कुराले, अनि आफूले भलो गर्न नसक्ने बोलीले तर्क गर्नू?
4 Hast not you moreover cast off fear, and accomplished such words before the Lord?
वास्तवमा तपाईंले परमेश्वरको आदर घटाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँको भक्तिमा तपाईंले बाधा दिनुहुन्छ ।
5 You are guilty by the words of your mouth, neither have you discerned the words of the mighty.
किनकि तपाईंको अधर्मले तपाईंको मुखलाई सिकाउँछ । धूर्त मानिसको जिब्रो तपाईंले रोज्नुभयो ।
6 Let your own mouth, and not me, reprove you: and your lips shall testify against you.
तपाईंको आफ्नै मुखले तपाईंलाई दोषी ठहराउँछ, मेरो होइन । वास्तवमा, तपाईंको आफ्नै ओठले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा बोल्छ ।
7 What! are you the first man that was born? or were you established before the hills?
जन्मेकामध्ये पहिलो मानिस तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ र? पहाडहरूभन्दा पहिले तपाईंलाई बनाइएको हो र?
8 Or have you heard the ordinance of the Lord? or has God used you as [his] counsellor? and has wisdom come [only] to you?
तपाईंले परमेश्वरको ज्ञानको गुप्त कुरा सुन्नुभएको छ? तपाईंले बुद्धिलाई आफूमा मात्रै सीमित गर्नुहुन्छ र?
9 For what know you, that, we know not? or what understand you, which we do not also?
तपाईंलाई के थाहा छ, जुन हामीलाई थाहा छैन? तपाईंले के बुझ्नुहुन्छ, जुन हामीमा पनि नभएको होस्?
10 Truly among us [are] both the old and very aged man, more advanced in days than your father.
कपाल फुलेका र पाका दुवै मानिसहरू हामीसित छन्, जो तपाईंका पिताभन्दा ज्यादै वृद्ध छन् ।
11 You have been scourged for [but] few of your sins: you have spoken haughtily [and] extravagantly.
परमेश्वरको सान्त्वना, तपाईंप्रति कोमल वचनहरू, के ती तपाईं ज्यादै तुच्छ छन् र?
12 What has your heart dared? or what have your eyes [aimed at],
तपाईंको हृदयले तपाईंलाई किन टाढा लैजान्छ? तपाईंका आँखा किन चम्किन्छन्?
13 that you have vented [your] rage before the Lord, and delivered such words from [your] mouth?
जसले गर्दा आफ्नो आत्मालाई तपाईंले परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा फर्काउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो मुखबाट यस्ता वचनहरू बोल्नुहुन्छ?
14 For who, being a mortal, [is such] that he shall be blameless? or, [who that is] born of a woman, that he should be just?
मानिस के हो र ऊ शुद्ध हुनुपर्यो? स्त्रीबाट जन्मेको मानिस को हो जो धर्मी हुनुपर्यो?
15 Forasmuch as he trusts not his saints; and the heaven is not pure before him.
हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले आफ्ना पवित्र जनमाथि पनि भरोसा राख्नुहुन्न । वास्तवमा उहाँको दृष्टिमा स्वर्ग पनि शुद्ध छैन ।
16 Alas then, abominable and unclean is man, drinking unrighteousness as a draught.
घृणित र भ्रष्ट व्यक्ति झन् कति कम शुद्ध होला, एक जना मानिस जसले अधर्मलाई पानीझैं पिउँछ।
17 But I will tell you, listen to me; I will tell you now what I have seen;
म तपाईंलाई देखाउनेछु । मेरो कुरा सुन्नुहोस् । मैले देखेका कुराहरू म तपाईंलाई घोषणा गर्नेछु,
18 things wise men say, and their fathers have not hidden.
बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूबाट हस्तान्त्रण गरेका कुरा, तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले नलुकाएका कुरा भन्नेछु ।
19 To them alone the earth was given, and no stranger came upon them.
यी तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू थिए, जसलाई मात्र यो देश दिइएको थियो, र जसका बिचमा कुनै विदेशी बसेन ।
20 All the life of the ungodly [is spent] in care, and the years granted to the oppressor are numbered.
दुष्टहरू आफ्नो जीवनकालभरि नै दुःखमा पर्छन् । दुःख पाउनलाई अत्याचारीहरूका लागि वर्षका सङ्ख्या तोकिएका छन् ।
21 And his terror is in his ears: just when he seems to be at peace, his overthrow will come.
उसका कानमा त्रासको सोर सुनिन्छ । उसको उन्नति हुँदा नै विनाशक उसमा आउनेछ ।
22 Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.
अन्धकारबाट ऊ फर्कनेछ भनी उसले सोच्दैन । तरवारले उसको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ ।
23 And he has been appointed to be food for vultures; and he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcass: and a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind.
ऊ रोटी खोज्दै विभिन्न ठाउँमा यसो भन्दै जान्छ, ‘खोई त्यो कहाँ छ?' अन्धकारको समय नजिक आएको छ भनी उसलाई थाहा छ ।
24 Distress also and anguish shall come upon him: he shall fall as a captain in the first rank.
निराशा र पीडाले त्यसलाई भयभीत पार्छ । युद्धको लागि तयार राजाझैं उसको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूले प्रभुत्व जमाउँछन् ।
25 For he has lifted his hands against the Lord, and he has hardened his neck against the Almighty Lord.
परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा उसले आफ्नो हात पसारेको छ, र सर्वशक्तिमान्को विरुद्धमा अहङ्कारले व्यवहार गरेको छ,
26 And he has run against him with insolence, on the thickness of the back of his shield.
यो दुष्ट मानिस हठ, बाक्लो ढाल लिएर, परमेश्वरलाई आक्रमण गर्न दौडन्छ ।
27 For he has covered his face with his fat, and made layers of fat upon his thighs.
आफ्नो अनुहार आफ्नो बोसोले ढाकेको, अनि आफ्नो कम्मरमा बोसो जाम्मा गरेको भए पनि,
28 And let him lodge in desolate cities, and enter into houses without inhabitant: and what they have prepared, others shall carry away.
र उजाड सहरहरूमा बसेको छ । अहिले कुनै मानिस नबस्ने घरहरूमा, जुन फोहोरको थुप्रो हुन तयार थिए ।
29 Neither shall he at all grow rich, nor shall his substance remain: he shall not cast a shadow upon the earth.
ऊ धनी हुनेछैन । उसको धन-सम्पत्ति टिक्नेछैन, र उसका धनदौलत देशमा फैलिनेछैन ।
30 Neither shall he in any wise escape the darkness: let the wind blast his blossom, and let his flower fall off.
उसले अन्धकारबाट छुटकारा पाउनेछैन । ज्वालाले उसका हाँगाहरूलाई सुकाउनेछ । परमेश्वरको मुखको सासले ऊ मर्नेछ ।
31 Let him not think that he shall endure; for his end shall be vanity.
आफैलाई धोका दिंदै उसले व्यर्थका कुराहरूमा भरोस नगरोस् । किनभने व्यर्थका कुरा त्यसको इनाम हुनेछ ।
32 His harvest shall perish before the time, and his branch shall not flourish.
उसको मर्ने समयभन्दा पहिले नै यसो हुनेछ । उसको हाँगा हरियो हुनेछैन ।
33 And let him be gathered as the unripe grape before the time, and let him fall as the blossom of the olive.
नपाकेका अङ्गुर झरेझैं ऊ झर्नेछ । भद्राक्षको बोटबाट फुलहरू झरेझैं ऊ जर्नेछ ।
34 For death is the witness of an ungodly man, and fire shall burn the houses of them that receive gifts.
किनकि ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूको समूह बाँझो हुनेछ । तिनीहरूको घुसका पालहरूलाई आगोले भष्म पार्नेछ ।
35 And he shall conceive sorrows, and his end shall be vanity, and his belly shall bear deceit.
तिनीहरूले बदमासी गर्भाधारण गर्छन् र अधर्मलाई जन्म दिन्छन् । तिनीहरूको गर्भले धोकालाई ठाउँ दिन्छ ।
