< Job 32 >

1 Then those three men stopped answering Job, because [they could not convince Job that he was wrong in claiming that] he had not done anything that was wrong.
त्‍यसैले यी तिन जना मानिसले अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिन छाडे किनभने आफ्‍नो दृष्‍टिमा तिनले आफूलाई धर्मी ठहराए ।
2 Then Elihu, the son of Barachel, a descendant of Buz, from the clan of Ram, became very angry at Job. He was angry because Job continued to claim that he was righteous/innocent, and that God was wrong [to punish him].
त्यसपछि रामको परिवारको बुजी बारकेलका छोरा एलीहूलाई रिस उठ्यो । तिनलाई अय्यूबको विरुद्धमा रिस उठेको थियो, किनकि तिनले परमेश्‍वरभन्दा पनि आफैलाई धर्मी ठहराएका थिए ।
3 He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had declared that Job must have done many things that were wrong, but they were unable to convince Job [that what they said was true]. As a result, [it seemed to Elihu that] God did what was wrong by punishing Job.
तिन जना मित्रको विरुद्धमा पनि एलीहूलाई रिस उठ्यो किनकि तिनीहरूले अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिन सकेका थिएनन्, र पनि तिनीहरूले अय्यूबलाई दोषी ठहराएका थिए ।
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
अरू मानिसहरू एलीहूभन्दा उमेरमा पाका भएका हुनाले तिनले अय्यूबसित बोल्‍नलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
तापनि यी तिन जना मानिसका मुखमा एलीहूले जवाफ नदेखेपछि तिनलाई रिस उठ्यो ।
6 And this is what he said: “I am young, and you all are much older than I am. So, I was timid, and I was afraid to tell you what I was thinking.
तब बुजी बारकेलका छोरा एलीहू बोले र यसो भने, “म जवान छु, र तपाईंहरू निकै पाका हुनुहुन्छ । त्यसैले म चुप लागें, र मेरो विचार तपाईंहरूलाई भन्‍ने आँट गरिनँ ।
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
मैले भनें, “बुढा-पाकाले बोल्नुपर्छ । धेरै वर्ष बिताएकाहरूले बुद्धि सिकाउनुपर्छ ।
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
तर मानिसमा एउटा आत्मा हुन्छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को सासले उसलाई सुझबुझ दिन्छ ।
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
महान् मानिसहरू मात्र बुद्धिमान् हुँदैनन्, न त पाका मानिसहरूले मात्र न्यायलाई बुझ्छन् ।
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
यसैकारण म तपाईंहरूलाई भन्दछु, 'मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । म पनि तपाईंहरूलाई आफ्‍नो ज्ञान भन्‍नेछु ।’
11 I waited for you all to speak; I wanted to hear the wise things that you would say. I waited while you thought carefully about what [would be the right things] to say.
हेर्नुहोस्, मैले तपाईंहरूका कुरा सुनें । तपाईंहरूले के भन्‍ने भनी विचार गरिरहँदा मैले तपाईंका बहसहरू सुनें ।
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
वास्तवमा मैले ध्यान दिएर तपाईंहरूका कुरा सुनें, तर तपाईंहरूमध्ये एक जनाले पनि अय्यूबलाई विश्‍वस्त पार्न, अर्थात् तिनको वचनलाई जवाफ दिन सक्‍नुभएन ।
13 So, do not say [to yourselves], ‘We have discovered what is wise!’ It is God who must (refute Job/show that what Job said was wrong), because you three have not been able to do that.
'हामीले बुद्धि भेट्टाएका छौं,' नभन्‍नलाई होसियार हुनुहोस् । अय्यूबलाई परमेश्‍वरले नै हराउनुपर्छ । मानिसले यसो गर्न सक्दैन ।
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
किनकि अय्यूबले आफ्ना वचनहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा बोलेका छैनन् । त्यसैले तपाईंहरूकै जवाफले म तिनलाई जवाफ दिनेछैनँ ।
15 “You three are dismayed [because you have not been able to convince him that he was wrong], so you are not saying any more to him [DOU].
यी तिन जना मानिसका बोली बन्‍द भएका छन् । तिनीहरूले फेरि अय्यूबलाई जवाई दिन सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरूसँगत बोल्‍नलाई एउटै शब्द पनि छैन ।
16 But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.
तिनीहरू बोल्‍दैनन्, तिनीहरू चूपचाप खडा छन्, अनि कुनै जवाफ दिंदैनन् भनेर के म पर्खिरहनू?
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
अहँ, म पनि आफ्‍नो तर्फबाट जवाफ दिनेछु । म पनि तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍नो ज्ञान भन्‍नेछु ।
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
किनकि मसँग जवाफ धेरै छन् । मभित्र भएको आत्माले मलाई बाध्य पार्छ ।
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
मेरो छाती फुल्‍दै गरेको दाखमद्यझैं भएको छ जसको प्‍वाल छैन । नयाँ मशकझैं यो फुट्नलाई तयार छ ।
20 I must speak [MTY], in order that I do not have to keep holding what I want to say; I must say something [MTY] to reply [to you all].
म ताजा हुन सकूँ भनेर म बोल्नेछु । म आफ्‍नो ओठ खोल्नेछु, र बोल्नेछु ।
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
म पक्षपात गर्नेछैनँ, न त कुनै मानिसलाई आदरको दर्जा नै दिनेछु ।
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
किनकि त्‍यस्तो दर्जा कसरी दिने हो म जान्‍दिनँ । मैले त्यसो गरें भने, मेरा सृष्‍टिकर्ताले मलाई चाँडै लैजानुहुन्‍छ ।
