Job 2
1 And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came among them to stand before the Lord.
तब अर्को दिनमा परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले आफैलाई परमप्रभुको सामु उपस्थित गराउनलाई आए । शैतान पनि परमप्रभुको सामु आफैलाई उपस्थित गराउन तिनीहरूसँगै आयो ।
2 And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence come you? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.
परमप्रभुले शैतानलाई सोध्नुभयो, “तँ कहाँबाट आइस्?” शैतानले परमप्रभुलाई जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, “पृथ्वीमा घुमेर, त्यसमा यता र उता गएर आएको हुँ ।”
3 And the Lord said to the devil, Hast you then observed my servant Job, that there is none of [men] upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas you has told [me] to destroy his substance without cause?
परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “के तैंले मेरो दास अय्यूबलाई विचार गरेको छस्? किनकि पृथ्वीमा त्योजस्तो दोषरहित र सोझो मानिस कोही छैन जो परमेश्वरको भय मान्छ र खराबीबाट अलग बस्छ । विनाकारण त्यसलाई नाश गर्न त्यसको विरुद्धमा तैंले मलाई भ्रममा पारेको भए तापनि त्यसले अझै आफ्नो निष्ठामा कायम राखेको छ ।”
4 And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.
शैतानले परमप्रभुलाई जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, “वस्तवमा नै छालाको साटो छाला हुन्छ । एक जना मानिसले आफ्नो ज्यानको लागि आफूसित भएका सबै थोक दिन्छ ।
5 Nay, but put forth your hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless you to [your] face.
तर अब आफ्नो हात पसार्नुहोस् र तिनका हड्डी र शरीरलाई छुनुहोस्, अनि हेर्नुहोस्, कतै तिनले तपाईंको मुखैमा तपाईंलाई सराप्ने त छैनन् ।”
6 And the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to you; only save his life.
परमप्रभुले शैतानलाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, त्यो तेरै हातमा छ । त्यसको जीवन मात्र चाहिं तैंले छोड्नैपर्छ ।”
7 So the devil went out from the Lord, and struck Job with sore boils from [his] feet to [his] head.
तब शैतान परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिबाट तुरुन्तै गयो । त्यसले अय्यूबलाई तिनको पाउको कुर्कुच्चादेखि तिनको शिरसम्म पीडादायी खटिराले प्रहार गर्यो ।
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.
आफूलाई कन्याउन अय्यूबले फुटेको भाँडोको एक टुक्रा खपटा लिए, र तिनी खरानीको बिचमा बसे ।
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
तब तिनकी पत्नीले तिनलाई भनिन्, “के तपाईं अझै पनि आफ्नो निष्ठामा रहनुहुन्छ? परमेश्वरलाई सराप्नुहोस् र मर्नुहोस् ।”
10 But he looked on her, and said to her, You have spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.
तर तिनले उनलाई भने, “एक जना मूर्ख स्त्रीले बात गरेझैं तिमी बात गर्छ्यौ । के हामीले परमेश्वरबाट असल कुराचाहिं ग्रहण गर्नू अनि खराब कुराचाहिं ग्रहण नगर्नू?” यी सबै कुरामा अय्यूबले आफ्नो मुखले पाप गरेनन् ।
11 Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit him.
जब अय्यूबका तिन जना मित्रले तिनीमाथि आइपरेका यी सबै खराबीको बारेमा सुने, तब तिनीहरू हरेक आ-आफ्नो ठाउँबाट निस्केर आए, अर्थात् एलीपज तेमानी, बिल्दद शुही र सोपर नमाती । तिनीसँगै शोक गर्न र तिनलाई सान्त्वना दिन तिनीहरूले समय निकाले ।
12 And when they saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and tore every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],
जब तिनीहरूले टाढैबाट आँखा उठाएर हेरे, तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई चिनेनन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सोर उचालेर कराए र रोए । हरेकले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते, धूलो हावामा फाले र आ-आफ्ना शिरमा हाले ।
13 and they sat down beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and very great.
तब तिनीहरू सात दिन र सात रात तिनीसँगै भुइँमा बसे । कसैले तिनलाई एउटै शब्द पनि बोलेन, किनकि तिनको शोक अत्यन्तै ठुलो भएको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
