< Job 37 >

1 “My heart pounds [DOU] when [I think about] that.
वास्‍तवमा, यस कुरामा मेरो हृदय काँप्छ । त्यो आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हटेको छ ।
2 Listen, all of you, to the thunder, which is like God’s voice [DOU].
सुन्‍नुहोस्, उहाँको आवाजको चर्को सोर, उहाँको मुखबाट बाहिर निस्‍कने आवाजलाई सुन्‍नुहोस् ।
3 He causes thunder to be heard all across the sky, and he causes lighting to flash to the most distant places on the earth.
उहाँले त्‍यसलाई सारा आकाशमुनि पठाउनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले पृथ्वीको कुना-कुनासम्‍म आफ्नो बिजुली पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
4 After [the lightning flashes], we hear the thunder which is like [MET] God’s majestic voice; he does not restrain the lightning when he speaks.
यसपछि एउटा आवाज गर्जन्छ । उहाँ आफ्नो ऐश्‍वर्यको आवाजले गर्जनुहुन्छ । उहाँको आवाज सुन्‍दा उहाँले बिजुलीको चमकलाई रोक्‍नुहुन्‍न ।
5 When God speaks, it is awesome, like thunder; he does amazing things which we cannot [fully] understand.
परमेश्‍वर आफ्नो सोरसहित अचम्म तरिकाले गर्जनुहुन्छ । हामीले बुझ्नै नसक्‍ने महान् कुराहरू उहाँले गर्नुहुन्छ ।
6 He commands the snow to fall on the ground, and [sometimes] he causes it to rain very hard.
किनकि उहाँले हिउँलाई भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'पृथ्वीमा खस् ।' त्यसै गरी झरीलाई भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'मुसलधारे झरी बन् ।'
7 And [when God does that, ] it prevents people [SYN] from working, in order that all people may know that he is the one who has done that (OR, what he can do).
उहाँले हरेक मानिसको हातलाई काम गर्नबाट रोक्‍नुहुन्छ, ताकि आफूले बनाउनुभएका सारा मानिसले उहाँका कामहरू देख्‍न सकून् ।
8 [When it rains, ] animals go into their hiding places, and they remain there [until the rain stops].
तब जङ्गली जनावरहरू लुक्‍ने ठाउँ जान्छन्, र आ-आफ्ना खोरहरूमा बस्छन् ।
9 The storms/hurricanes come from the place [in the south where they start], and the cold wind comes from the north.
आँधी-बेहरी दक्षिणको आफ्नो बासस्थानबाट आउँछ, र उत्तरको प्रचण्ड बतासबाट जाडो आउँछ ।
10 [In the (winter/cold season), the cold north wind is like] God’s breath [that] causes [MET] water to freeze; he causes the lakes/streams to become ice.
परमेश्‍वरको सासद्वारा बरफ बन्छ । पानीको फैलावट धातुझैं जम्छ ।
11 God fills the clouds with moisture/hail, and lightning flashes from the clouds.
वास्तवमा बाक्‍लो बादललाई उहाँले बाफको भारी बोकाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले बादलहरूद्वारा आफ्नो बिजुली छरपष्‍ट पार्नुहुन्छ ।
12 He guides the clouds and causes them to move back and forth in order that they may accomplish all that he commands them to do, all over the world.
उहाँले आफ्नो निर्देशनद्वारा बादलहरूलाई चारैतिर घुमाउनुहुन्छ, ताकि उहाँले तिनलाई जे आज्ञा गर्नुहुन्‍छ, त्‍यो तिनले सारा संसारको सतहको माथि गर्न सकून् ।
13 Sometimes God sends rain to punish us, and sometimes he sends rain to show us that he acts kindly toward us.
उहाँले यी सबै कुरा हुन दिनुहुन्छ । कहिले-कहीं सुधारको लागि यस्‍तो हुन्छ, कहिले-कहीँ उहाँको जमिनको लागि, र कहिले-कहीँ करारको विश्‍वस्तताको कामको रूपमा हुन्छ ।
14 “Job, listen to this; stop and think about the wonderful things that God does.
हे अय्यूब, यो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । रोक्‍नुहोस् र परमेश्‍वरका उदेकका कामहरूका बारेमा सोच्नुहोस् ।
15 (Do you know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds?/We do not know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds.) [RHQ]
परमेश्‍वरले बादललाई कसरी स्थापित गर्नुहुन्छ, र बिजुलीको चमकलाई चम्काउनुहुन्छ भनी के तपाईं जान्‍नुहुन्‍छ?
16 Only God knows everything perfectly; so (do you know how he causes the clouds to (move/float) (amazingly/wonderfully) across the sky?/you certainly do not know how he causes the clouds to (move/float) (amazingly/wonderfully) across the sky!) [RHQ]
के बादलहरू कसरी तैरन्छन् भनी तपाईं बुझ्नुहुन्छ, जुन ज्ञानमा सिद्ध परमेश्‍वरको उदेकको काम हो?
17 No, you just sweat there in your clothes; [it is very oppressive] when the [hot] wind stops blowing from the south and [all the leaves on the trees] (become still/do not move).
जब बतास नचली भूमि शान्त हुँदा दक्षिणबाट बतास चल्‍नथाल्‍छ, तब तपाईंको लुगा कसरी तातो हुन्छ भनेर तपाईं बुझ्नुहुन्छ?
18 (Can you stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass?/You certainly cannot stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass!) [RHQ]
आकाशलाई उहाँले झैं तपाईंले फैलाउन सक्‍नुहुन्छ— आकाश, जुन धातु पगालेर बनाइएको ऐनाजत्तिकै कडा हुन्छ?
19 “Job, tell us(exc) what we should say to God; we do not know anything [IDM]. As a result, we do not know what to say to him to defend ourselves.
उहाँलाई हामीले के भन्‍नुपर्ने हो, सो हामीलाई सिकाउनुहोस्, किनकि हाम्रो मनको अन्धकारको कारणले हामीले आफ्‍ना तर्कहरूलाई क्रमैसित प्रस्‍तुत गर्न सक्दैनौँ ।
20 Should I tell God that I want to speak to him? No, because [if I did that, ] he might destroy me.
म उहाँसित बोल्न चाहन्छु भनेर उहाँलाई भन्‍नुपर्छ र? कुनै व्यक्तिले आफूलाई निलियोस् भन्‍ने इच्‍छा गर्छ र?
21 Now, people cannot look [directly] at the sun when it shines brightly in the sky after the wind has blown the clouds away; [so, we certainly cannot look at the brightness of God].
आकाशमा बतास चलेपछि र त्‍यसले त्‍यहाँको बादललाई उडाएर सफा गरेपछि, जब त्‍यहाँ सूर्य चम्‍किन्‍छ, तब मानिसहरूले त्‍यो हेर्न सक्दैनन् ।
22 God comes out of the north with a light [that shines like] gold; his glory causes us to be afraid.
उत्तरबाट सुनौलो वैभवको आगमन हुन्छ— परमेश्‍वर भययोग्य महिमा हुनुहुन्छ ।
23 Almighty God is very powerful, and we cannot come near to him. He always acts righteously, and he will never oppress us.
सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को बारेमा, हामी उहाँलाई भेट्टाउन सक्दैनौं । शक्तिमा उहाँ महान् हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले न्यायलाई दबाउनुहुन्‍न र धार्मिकता प्रसस्‍त पार्नुहुन्‍छ ।
24 That is the reason that we have an awesome respect for him; he does not pay attention to those who proudly, [but wrongly], think that they are wise.”
त्यसकारण मानिसहरू उहाँदेखि डराउँछन् । आफ्नै मनले बुद्धिमान् सम्‍झनेहरूलाई उहाँले ध्यान दिनुहुन्‍न ।”
