< Job 22 >

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
2 "Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
“के मानिस परमेश्‍वरको लागि उपयोगी हुन सक्छ र? के बुद्धिमान् मानिस उहाँको लागि उपयोगी हुन सक्छ र?
3 Is it any pleasure to Shaddai, that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him, that you make your ways perfect?
तपाईं धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ भने, सर्वशक्तिमान्‌लाई के आनन्द मिल्छ र? तपाईंले आफ्ना मार्गहरू दोषरहित बनाउनुहुन्‍छ भने, त्यो उहाँको लाभ हो र?
4 Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
तपाईंले उहाँको आदर गरेको हुनाले, उहाँले तपाईंलाई हप्काउनुहुन्छ अनि तपाईंलाई इन्साफमा लानुहुन्छ र?
5 Isn't your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
के तपाईंको दुष्‍टता विशाल छैन र? के तपाईंको अधर्मको असीमित छैन र?
6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
किनकि विनाकारण तपाईंले आफ्नो भाइबाट ऋणको जमानत माग्‍नुभएको छ, अनि तपाईंले दरिद्रहरूको सबै लुगा खोसेर तिनीहरूलाई नाङ्गो पार्नुभएको छ ।
7 You haven't given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
थाकेका मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंले पानी पिउन दिनुभएको छैन । भोकाएका मानिसहरूले रोटी पाउन तपाईंले रोक्‍नुभएको छ ।
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
तपाईं, शक्तिशाली मानिससित जग्गाजमिन भए पनि, तपाईं, इज्‍जतदार मानिस त्‍यसमा बसोबास गर्नुभए पनि,
9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
तपाईंले विधवाहरूलाई रित्तो हात पठाउनुभएको छ । अनाथहरूका पाखुरा भाँचिएका छन् ।
10 Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
त्यसकारण पासोहरू तपाईंको चारैतिर छन्, र एक्‍कासि आउने डरले तपाईंलाई कष्‍ट दिन्छ ।
11 or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
अन्धकार हुन्‍छ जसले गर्दा तपाईंले देख्‍न सक्‍नुहुन्‍न । पानीको भलले तपाईंलाई डुबाउँछ ।
12 "Isn't God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are.
के परमेश्‍वर स्‍वर्गको उच्‍चमा हुनुहुन्‍न र? आकाशका ताराहरूको उच्‍चता हेर्नुहोस्, ती कति उच्‍चमा छन्!
13 You say, 'What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
तपाईं भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'परमेश्‍वरलाई के थाहा छ? के उहाँले निस्पट्ट अन्धकारमा न्याय गर्न सक्‍नहुन्छ र?
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn't see. He walks on the vault of the sky.'
उहाँले हामीलाई देख्‍न नसकून् भनेर बाक्ला बादलहरूले उहाँलाई घेरेका छन् । उहाँ आकाशको चक्रमा हिंड्‍नुहुन्छ ।'
15 Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
दुष्‍ट मानिसहरू हिंडेका पुरानै मार्गमा, तपाईं पनि हिंड्नुहुन्‍छ र—
16 who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
तिनीहरूको समय हुनुअगि नै तिनीहरूको जीवन लिइयो, तिनीहरूका जगहरू नदीले झैं बगाएर लगेको छ,
17 who said to God, 'Depart from us;' and, 'What can Shaddai do for us?'
जसले परमेश्‍वरलाई यसो भने, 'हामीबाट जानुहोस्, ' जसले यसो भने, 'सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ले हामीलाई के गर्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ र?'
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
तापनि उहाँले तिनीहरूका घरहरू असल कुराहरूले भर्नुभयो । दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूका योजनाहरू मबाटै धेरै टाढा छन् ।
19 The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
धर्मी मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूको सुदिन देख्छन्, र खुसी हुन्छन् । निर्दोष मानिसहरूले हाँसेर तिनीहरूको उपहास गर्छन् ।
20 saying, 'Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed the remnant of them.'
तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'निश्‍चय नै हाम्रो विरुद्धमा उठ्नेहरू त्‍यागिएका छन् । आगोले तिनीहरूको धन-सम्पत्ति भस्म पारेको छ ।'
21 "Acquaint yourself with him, now, and be at peace. Thereby good shall come to you.
अब परमेश्‍वरसित सहमत हुनुहोस्, र मिलाप गर्नुहोस् । त्‍यसरी तपाईंकहाँ भलाइ आउनेछ ।
22 Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
म तपाईंलाई बिन्ती गर्छु, उहाँको निर्देशनको वचन ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् । उहाँका वचनहरू आफ्‍नो हृदयमा जम्‍मा गर्नुहोस् ।
23 If you return to Shaddai, you shall be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
तपाईं सर्वशक्तिमान्‌कहाँ फर्कनुहुन्‍छ भने, अधार्मिकतालाई तपाईंले आफ्ना पालहरूबाट धेरै टाढा राख्‍नुहुन्‍छ भने, तपाईंको निर्माण हुनेछ ।
24 Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
आफ्‍नो खजाना भुइँको धूलोमा, ओपीरको सुनलाई खोलाका ढुङ्गाहरूका बिचमा फाल्‍नुहोस्,
25 Shaddai will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
अनि सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ तपाईंको खजाना, तपाईंको बहुमूल्य चाँदी बन्‍नुहुनेछ ।
26 For then you will delight yourself in Shaddai, and shall lift up your face to God.
किनकि त्‍यसपछि तपाईं सर्वशक्तिमान्‌मा रमाउनुहुनेछ । तपाईंले आफ्नो अनुहार परमेश्‍वरमा उचाल्‍नुहुनेछ ।
27 You shall make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You shall pay your vows.
तपाईंले आफ्‍नो प्रार्थना उहाँमा नै चढाउनुहुनेछ, अनि उहाँले तपाईंको बिन्‍ती सुन्‍नुहुनेछ । तपाईंले उहाँमा आफ्नो भाकल पुरा गर्नुहुनेछ ।
28 And you will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.
तपाईंले कुनै पनि आदेश दिनुहुनेछ, र तपाईंको निम्‍ति त्‍यो कुरो पुरा हुनेछ । तपाईंका मार्गहरूमा ज्योति चम्कनेछ ।
29 When they cast down, you shall say, 'be lifted up.' And he will save the humble.
परमेश्‍वरले घमण्डी मानिसलाई निम्‍न स्‍तरमा झर्नुहुन्छ, र निराश भएकाहरूलाई उहाँले बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
30 He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."
जो निर्दोष छैन त्‍यो मानिसलाई पनि उहाँले छुटकारा दिनुहुन्छ । तपाईंका हातको शुद्धताले गर्दा तिनीहरूले छुटकारा पाउनेछन् ।”
