< Job 24 >

1 Wherefore, since from the Almighty times are not hid, have, his knowing ones, no vision of his days?
दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूको न्याय गर्ने समय सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ले किन तोक्‍नुभएको छैन? परमेश्‍वरप्रति विश्‍वासयोग्य हुनेहरूले उहाँको न्यायको दिन आएको किन देखेका छैनन्?
2 Boundaries, men move back, flocks, they seize and consume;
यस्ता दुष्‍ट मानिसहरू पनि छन् जसले साँध-सिमानाका निसानाहरू हटाउँछन् । यस्ता दुष्‍ट मानिसहरू पनि छन् जसले बगालहरूलाई जबरजस्ती लैजान्‍छन् र तिनलाई आफ्नै खर्कहरूमा राख्छन् ।
3 The ass of the fatherless, they drive off, they take in pledge the ox of the widow;
अनाथहरूका गधाहरूलाई तिनीहरूले जबरजस्‍ती लैजान्छन् । विधवाको गोरुलाई तिनीहरूले बन्‍धकका रूपमा लैजान्छन् ।
4 They turn aside the needy out of the way, at once, are the humbled of the land made to hide themselves.
दरिद्र मानिसहरूका उनीहरूका मार्गबाट तिनीहरूले जबरजस्‍ती हटाउँछन् । पृथ्वीका सबै गरिब मानिसहरू तिनीहरूबाट आफूलाई लुकाउँछन्।
5 Lo! [as] wild asses in the wilderness, they go forth with their work, eager seekers for prey, the waste plain, yieldeth them food for their young;
हेर्नुहोस्, उजाड-स्थानका वन-गधाहरूझैं, यी गरिब मानिसहरू होसियारी भएर खानेकुरा खोज्‍दै आफ्नो काममा जान्छन् । सायद अराबाले तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई खानेकुरा जुटाउनेछ ।
6 In the field—a man’s fodder, they cut down, and, the vineyard of the lawless, they strip of its late berries;
गरिब मानिसहरूले अरूका खेतबारीमा रातमा कटनी गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्‍टहरूका फसलबाट टिप्‍न छुटेका दाख बटुल्छन् ।
7 Ill-clad, they are left to lodge without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;
तिनीहरू रातभरि लुगाबिना नाङ्गै बस्छन् । जाडोमा ढाक्‍नलाई तिनीहरूसित केही हुँदैन ।
8 With the sweeping rain of the mountains, are they wet, and, through having no shelter, they embrace a rock.
तिनीहरू पहाडका झरीले भिजेका छन् । तिनीहरूका बासस्‍थान नभएको हुनाले तिनीहरू ठुला ढुङ्‍गाको छेउमा पल्टिन्छन् ।
9 Men tear, from the breast, the fatherless, and, over the poor, they take a pledge;
यस्ता दुष्‍ट मानिसहरू छन् जसले अनाथहरूलाई आफ्‍ना आमाको कोखबाट खोसेर लैजान्छन्, र गरिब मानिसहरूका बालबालिका बन्‍धकको रूपमा लैजान्छन् ।
10 Naked, they go about without clothing, and, famished, they carry the sheaves;
तर गरिब मानिसहरू लुगाविना नाङ्गै जान्छन् । तिनीहरू आफै भोकाएको भए पनि, तिनीहरूले अरूका अन्‍नका बिटाहरू बोक्‍छन् ।
11 Between their walls, are they exposed to the sun, Wine-presses, they tread, and yet are thirsty;
गरिब मानिसहरूले ती दुष्‍टहरूका पर्खालभित्र तेल पेल्छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूका दाखको कोल पेल्छन्, तर तिनीहरू आफै तिर्खाउँछन् ।
12 Out of the city—out of the houses, they make outcry. and, the soul of the wounded, calleth for help, and, GOD, doth not regard it as foolish.
सहरबाट मर्न लागेको मानिसको क्रन्दन निस्कन्छ, अनि घाइतेको गलाले मदतको लागि चिच्‍च्याउँछ । तर परमेश्‍वरले दोष लगाउनुहुन्‍न ।
13 They, have become rebels against the light, —they are not acquainted with the ways thereof, neither abide they in the paths thereof.
केही दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूले ज्योतिको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले यसका मार्गहरू जान्‍दैनन्, न त तिनीहरू यसका मार्गहरूमा बस्छन् ।
14 With the light, riseth the murderer, He slayeth the poor and needy, And, in the night, he becometh like a thief.
उज्यालो हुनुअगि हत्यारा उठ्छ, र त्यसले गरिब तथा दरिद्र मानिसहरूलाई मार्छ । रातमा ऊ चोरजस्तो हुन्छ ।
15 And, the eye of the adulterer, watcheth for the evening twilight, saying, Not an eye will see me! A covering for the face, he putteth on;
साथै, व्यभिचारीका आँखाले साँझलाई पर्खेर बस्‍छ । उसले भन्छ, 'कुनै आँखाले मलाई देख्‍नेछैन ।' उसले आफ्नो भेष बद्लन्छ ।
16 He breaketh, in the dark, into houses, —By day, they lock themselves in, They know not the light;
अन्धकारमा दुष्‍टहरू घर फोरेर भित्र पस्छन्, तर दिउँसोको समयमा तिनीहरू लुक्छन् । तिनीहरूले उज्यालोको वास्ता गर्दैनन् ।
17 For, in the case of all such, morning to them is the death-shade, For, to be recognised, is a death-shade terror.
तिनीहरू सबैका लागि निस्पट्ट अँध्यारो बिहानझैं हुन्छ । किनभने तिनीहरू निस्पट्ट अँध्यारोका त्रासहरूका मित्र हुन् ।
18 Swift is he on the face of the waters, Speedily vanished their share in the land, He turneth not to the way of the vineyards.
तापनि पानीको सतहमा देखा पर्ने फिँजझैं तिनीहरू चाँडै नै बितेर जान्‍छन् । तिनीहरूको खेतको हिस्सा श्रापित छ । तिनीहरूका दाखबारीहरूमा काम गर्न कोही पनि जाँदैन ।
19 Drought and heat, steal away snow water, Hades, them who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
जसरी खडेरी र तापले हिउँलाई पगालेर पानी बानउँछ, त्यसरी नै पाप गरेकाहरूलाई चिहानले लैजान्‍छ । (Sheol h7585)
20 Maternal love shall forget him, the worm shall find him sweet, No more shall he be remembered, but perversity shall be shivered like a tree.
उसलाई जन्माउने गर्भले उसलाई बिर्सिनेछ । किराले त्यसलाई मिठो मानेर खानेछ । फेरि उसको सम्झना गरिनेछैन । यसरी एउटा रुखलाई झैं दुष्‍टतालाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिनेछ ।
21 He oppresseth the barren who beareth not, and, to the widow, he doeth not good;
बच्‍चा नजन्माएकी बाँझी स्‍त्रीलाई दुष्‍टले निलिहाल्‍छ । उसले विधवाको निम्‍ति कुनै असल कुरा गर्दैन ।
22 Yea he draggeth along the mighty by his strength, He riseth up, and none hath assurance of life;
तापनि परमेश्‍वरले शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले घिसार्नुहुन्छ । उहाँ खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तर जीवनमा तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुहुन्‍न ।
23 It is given him to be secure, and confident, yet, his eyes, are upon their ways.
तिनीहरू सुरक्षित छन्, र तिनीहरू यसबारे खुसी छन् भनी परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई सोच्न दिनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँका आँखा तिनीहरूका मार्गमा हुन्‍छन् ।
24 They are exalted a little, and are not, Yea having been laid low, like all men, are they gathered, Even as the top of an ear of corn, do they hang down.
यी मानिसहरू उच्‍च पारिएका छन् । तापनि क्षणभरमै तिनीहरू खतम हुनेछन् । वास्तवमा, तिनीहरूलाई निम्‍न स्‍तरमा पर्‍याइनेछ । अरू सबैलाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई पनि जम्मा गरिनेछ । अन्‍नको बालाझैं तिनीहरूलाई काटिनेछ ।
25 But, if not, who then can convict me of falsehood? or make of no account my words?
यस्तो होइन भने, कसले मलाई झुटा प्रमाणित गर्न सक्छ? कसले मेरो वचनलाई निरर्थक बनाउन सक्छ?
