Job 22
1 Then Eliphaz replied,
तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
2 “(Can anyone be useful to God?/Certainly no one can be useful to God.) [RHQ] Even people who are wise cannot be helpful to God.
“के मानिस परमेश्वरको लागि उपयोगी हुन सक्छ र? के बुद्धिमान् मानिस उहाँको लागि उपयोगी हुन सक्छ र?
3 If you were righteous, (would that benefit Almighty [God]?/that certainly would not benefit Almighty [God].) [RHQ] If you had (lived a perfect life/never done anything that is wrong), would that help him?
तपाईं धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ भने, सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई के आनन्द मिल्छ र? तपाईंले आफ्ना मार्गहरू दोषरहित बनाउनुहुन्छ भने, त्यो उहाँको लाभ हो र?
4 “Is it because you have an awesome respect for God that he punishes you? Is that the reason that he puts you on trial?
तपाईंले उहाँको आदर गरेको हुनाले, उहाँले तपाईंलाई हप्काउनुहुन्छ अनि तपाईंलाई इन्साफमा लानुहुन्छ र?
5 No, it certainly must be [RHQ] because you are extremely wicked. It must be that the evil things that you have done are so many that no one can count them!
के तपाईंको दुष्टता विशाल छैन र? के तपाईंको अधर्मको असीमित छैन र?
6 You must have lent money to others and wrongly forced them to give you things to guarantee that they would pay that money back to you; you must have taken all their clothes and left them with nothing to wear.
किनकि विनाकारण तपाईंले आफ्नो भाइबाट ऋणको जमानत माग्नुभएको छ, अनि तपाईंले दरिद्रहरूको सबै लुगा खोसेर तिनीहरूलाई नाङ्गो पार्नुभएको छ ।
7 You must not have given water to those who were thirsty, and you must have refused to give food to those who were hungry.
थाकेका मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंले पानी पिउन दिनुभएको छैन । भोकाएका मानिसहरूले रोटी पाउन तपाईंले रोक्नुभएको छ ।
8 Because you were very powerful, you [must have] taken over all the people’s land, and then, being very respected, you have begun to live on that land.
तपाईं, शक्तिशाली मानिससित जग्गाजमिन भए पनि, तपाईं, इज्जतदार मानिस त्यसमा बसोबास गर्नुभए पनि,
9 [When] widows [came to you for help], you [must have] sent [them] away without giving them anything, and you must have oppressed orphans.
तपाईंले विधवाहरूलाई रित्तो हात पठाउनुभएको छ । अनाथहरूका पाखुरा भाँचिएका छन् ।
10 Because of all that, now there are pits around you for you to fall into, and suddenly there are things that terrify you and cause you to tremble.
त्यसकारण पासोहरू तपाईंको चारैतिर छन्, र एक्कासि आउने डरले तपाईंलाई कष्ट दिन्छ ।
11 [It is as though] it has become very dark, with the result that you cannot see anything, and [it is as though] [MET] a flood covers you.
अन्धकार हुन्छ जसले गर्दा तपाईंले देख्न सक्नुहुन्न । पानीको भलले तपाईंलाई डुबाउँछ ।
12 “[But consider this, Job]: God lives [RHQ] high up in the heavens. From there he [RHQ] looks down on the highest stars.
के परमेश्वर स्वर्गको उच्चमा हुनुहुन्न र? आकाशका ताराहरूको उच्चता हेर्नुहोस्, ती कति उच्चमा छन्!
13 So why do you say, ‘What does God know [about what we are doing]? [He is hidden from us by] dark clouds, so ([how] can he judge us?/he certainly cannot judge us.) [RHQ]’
तपाईं भन्नुहुन्छ, 'परमेश्वरलाई के थाहा छ? के उहाँले निस्पट्ट अन्धकारमा न्याय गर्न सक्नहुन्छ र?
14 [Do you think that] while he walks on the dome that covers the sky, there are thick clouds around him, with the result that he cannot see [what we do]?
उहाँले हामीलाई देख्न नसकून् भनेर बाक्ला बादलहरूले उहाँलाई घेरेका छन् । उहाँ आकाशको चक्रमा हिंड्नुहुन्छ ।'
15 Will you continue to conduct your life the old way that evil people have done [for many years]?
दुष्ट मानिसहरू हिंडेका पुरानै मार्गमा, तपाईं पनि हिंड्नुहुन्छ र—
16 They suddenly died while they were still young; they disappeared [like everything disappears when there is] a flood [MET].
तिनीहरूको समय हुनुअगि नै तिनीहरूको जीवन लिइयो, तिनीहरूका जगहरू नदीले झैं बगाएर लगेको छ,
17 They kept saying to God, ‘Do not bother us,’ and they also said [defiantly], ‘Almighty [God] can do nothing [RHQ] to [harm] us!’
जसले परमेश्वरलाई यसो भने, 'हामीबाट जानुहोस्, ' जसले यसो भने, 'सर्वशक्तिमान्ले हामीलाई के गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ र?'
18 But it was God who filled their houses with good things, so I cannot at all understand why wicked people think like they do.
तापनि उहाँले तिनीहरूका घरहरू असल कुराहरूले भर्नुभयो । दुष्ट मानिसहरूका योजनाहरू मबाटै धेरै टाढा छन् ।
19 “But when God punishes wicked people, and righteous people see that, they are glad, and they laugh, ridiculing the wicked people.
धर्मी मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूको सुदिन देख्छन्, र खुसी हुन्छन् । निर्दोष मानिसहरूले हाँसेर तिनीहरूको उपहास गर्छन् ।
20 They say, ‘Now our enemies have been destroyed, and all [their possessions] that were left have been burned in a fire.’
तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'निश्चय नै हाम्रो विरुद्धमा उठ्नेहरू त्यागिएका छन् । आगोले तिनीहरूको धन-सम्पत्ति भस्म पारेको छ ।'
21 “So, [Job, ] be reconciled to God and make peace with him; if you do that, good things will happen to you.
अब परमेश्वरसित सहमत हुनुहोस्, र मिलाप गर्नुहोस् । त्यसरी तपाईंकहाँ भलाइ आउनेछ ।
22 Allow him to teach you, and keep thinking about what he has told you.
म तपाईंलाई बिन्ती गर्छु, उहाँको निर्देशनको वचन ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् । उहाँका वचनहरू आफ्नो हृदयमा जम्मा गर्नुहोस् ।
23 If you humble yourself and return to God, if you stop doing all the evil things that you have been doing in your house,
तपाईं सर्वशक्तिमान्कहाँ फर्कनुहुन्छ भने, अधार्मिकतालाई तपाईंले आफ्ना पालहरूबाट धेरै टाढा राख्नुहुन्छ भने, तपाईंको निर्माण हुनेछ ।
24 if you throw away your gold, even the fine gold from the dry stream beds in Ophir [land],
आफ्नो खजाना भुइँको धूलोमा, ओपीरको सुनलाई खोलाका ढुङ्गाहरूका बिचमा फाल्नुहोस्,
25 and if you allow Almighty [God] to be [as precious to you as] your gold and your silver [have been],
अनि सर्वशक्तिमान् तपाईंको खजाना, तपाईंको बहुमूल्य चाँदी बन्नुहुनेछ ।
26 you will be happy because of your close relationship with God, and you will be able to approach him [IDM] [confidently].
किनकि त्यसपछि तपाईं सर्वशक्तिमान्मा रमाउनुहुनेछ । तपाईंले आफ्नो अनुहार परमेश्वरमा उचाल्नुहुनेछ ।
27 You will pray to him, and he will do what you request him to do; you will do the things that you promised him that you would do.
तपाईंले आफ्नो प्रार्थना उहाँमा नै चढाउनुहुनेछ, अनि उहाँले तपाईंको बिन्ती सुन्नुहुनेछ । तपाईंले उहाँमा आफ्नो भाकल पुरा गर्नुहुनेछ ।
28 Everything that you decide to do will be successful; [it] will [be as though] a light [is] shining on the road in front of you.
तपाईंले कुनै पनि आदेश दिनुहुनेछ, र तपाईंको निम्ति त्यो कुरो पुरा हुनेछ । तपाईंका मार्गहरूमा ज्योति चम्कनेछ ।
29 God humbles those who are proud, but he saves those who are downcast/discouraged.
परमेश्वरले घमण्डी मानिसलाई निम्न स्तरमा झर्नुहुन्छ, र निराश भएकाहरूलाई उहाँले बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
30 God rescues those who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), so he will rescue you if you (start doing things that are right/are not guilty [IDM] of doing things that are wrong).”
जो निर्दोष छैन त्यो मानिसलाई पनि उहाँले छुटकारा दिनुहुन्छ । तपाईंका हातको शुद्धताले गर्दा तिनीहरूले छुटकारा पाउनेछन् ।”
