< Job 18 >

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:
तब बिल्दद शुहीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 “When do you set an end to words? Consider, and afterward we speak.
“आफ्नो कुरा तपाईं कहिले बन्द गर्नुहुन्छ? विचार गर्नुहोस्, र त्यसपछि हामी बोल्नेछौं ।
3 Why have we been reckoned as livestock? We have been defiled in your eyes!
तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा हामीलाई किन जङ्गली पशुहरू जस्‍तै मूर्ख छौं?
4 He is tearing himself in his anger. Is earth forsaken for your sake? And is a rock removed from its place?
तपाईंले आफ्नो रिसमा आफैलाई छिया-छिया पार्नुहुन्छ, के तपाईंको निम्‍ति पृथ्वीलाई त्यागिदिने? वा चट्टानहरूलाई तिनीहरूका ठाउँबाट हटाइदिने?
5 Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there does not shine a spark of his fire.
वास्तवमा दुष्‍ट व्यक्तिको बत्ती निभाइनेछ । उसको आगोको ज्वाला बल्नेछैन ।
6 The light has been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.
उसको पालमा ज्योति नै अँध्यारो हुनेछ । ऊमाथि रहेको उसको बत्ती निभाइनेछ ।
7 The steps of his strength are restricted, And his own counsel casts him down.
उसको शक्तिका पाइलाहरू छोटा बनाइनेछन् । उसका आफ्नै योजनाहरूले उसलाई तल पार्नेछन् ।
8 For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And he habitually walks on a snare.
किनकि उसको आफ्नै खुट्टाले उसलाई जालमा फल्‍नेछ । ऊ खल्‍डोतिर भौंतारिंदै जानेछ ।
9 A trap seizes on the heel, The designing prevails over him.
पासोले त्यसलाई कुर्कुच्‍चोमा समात्‍ने छ । जालले त्यसलाई पसाउनेछ ।
10 His cord is hidden in the earth, And his trap on the path.
उसको लागि जमिनमा एउटा पासो लुकाइएको छ । अनि एउटा पासोले उसलाई समात्‍नेछ ।
11 Terrors have terrified him all around, And they have scattered him—at his feet.
त्रासहरूले चारैतिरबाट उसलाई डरमा पार्नेछन् । तिनले उसलाई पछिपछि खेद्‍नेछन् ।
12 His sorrow is hungry, And calamity is ready at his side.
उसको धन-सम्पत्तिले भोकमा पुर्‍याउनेछ, र विपत्तिले उसको छेउमै पर्खिनेछ ।
13 It consumes the parts of his skin, Death’s firstborn consumes his parts.
उसको शरीरका अंगहरू नष्‍ट पारिनेछन् । वास्तवमा, मृत्युको जेठो सन्तानले उसका अंगहरू निल्नेछ ।
14 His confidence is drawn from his tent, And it causes him to step to the king of terrors.
आफ्‍नो पालको सुरक्षाबाट उसलाई घिस्‍याइन्‍छ, र त्रासको राजाकहाँ लगिन्‍छ ।
15 It dwells in his tent—out of his provender, Sulfur is scattered over his habitation.
अपरिचित मानिसहरूले उसको घरभित्र गन्धक छरेको देखेपछि, तिनीहरू उसको पालमा बस्‍ने छैनन् ।
16 From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above his crop is cut off.
उसका जराहरू तलतिरका नै सुक्‍नेछन् । माथिको उसको हाँगा काटिनेछ ।
17 His memorial has perished from the land, And he has no name on the street.
पृथ्वीबाट उसको सम्झना लुप्‍त हुनेछ । सडकमा उसको कुनै नाउँ हुनेछैन ।
18 They thrust him from light to darkness, And cast him out from the habitable earth.
उसलाई उज्यालोबाट अँध्यारोमा धपाइनेछ, र यस संसारबाट लखेटिनेछ ।
19 He has no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.
उसका मानिसका बिचमा उसको छोरो वा नाति हुनेछैन, न त ऊ बसेको ठाउँमा कुनै आफन्त हुनेछ ।
20 At this day, those [in the] west have been astonished, And those [in the] east have taken fright.
एक दिन उसलाई जे हुन्छ, त्यसमा पश्‍चिममा बस्‍नेहरू मानिसहरू आतङ्कित हुनेछन् भने, पूर्वमा बस्‍नेहरू त्‍यसमा त्रसित हुनेछन् ।
21 Only these [are] dwelling places of the perverse, And this [is] the place God has not known.”
निश्‍चय नै अधर्मी मानिसहरूका घरहरू यस्तै हुन्‍छन् । परमेश्‍वरलाई नचिन्‍नेहरूका ठाउँहरू यस्तै हुने छन् ।
