< Job 39 >

1 “[Job], do you know at what time/season [of the year] the female mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the wild deer while their fawns were being born?
चट्टानहरूका घोरल कहिले बियाउँछ भनी तँ जान्‍दछस्? हरिणीले बच्‍चा जन्माउँदै गर्दा के तैंले हेर्न सक्छस्?
2 Do you know how many months pass from the time they become pregnant until their fawns are born?
तिनीहरूले पेटमा पाठा बोक्दा के तैंले तिनीहरूको महिना गन्‍न सक्छस्? तिनीहरूले बच्‍चा जन्माउने समय तँलाई थाहा छ?
3 [When they give birth, ] they crouch down so that the fawns do not [get hurt by] falling to the ground when they are born.
तिनीहरू निहुरिन्छन्, र आफ्ना पाठा पाउँछन्, अनि यसरी तिनीहरूको आफ्नो प्रसव-वेदना सकिन्छ ।
4 The young fawns grow up in the open fields, and then they leave their mothers and do not return to them again.
तिनीहरूका पाठा बलिया हुन्छन्, र खुला खेतहरूमा हुर्कन्छन् । तिनीहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन्, र फेरि फर्केर आउँदैनन् ।
5 “Who allows the wild donkeys to go wherever they want [DOU]?
वन-गधालाई कसले छाडा छोडेको हो? कुद्‍ने गधाको बन्धन कसले फुकालेको हो,
6 I am the one who put them in the desert, in places where grass does not grow.
जसको बासस्थान अराबामा, त्यसको घर खारको जग्गामा मैले बनाएको छु ।
7 They do not like the noise in the cities; [in the desert] they do not have to listen to the shouts of those who force donkeys to work.
सहरको होहल्ला सुनेर त्यसले गिल्ला गर्दै हाँस्‍छ । लखेट्नेले कराएको त्यसले सुन्दैन ।
8 They go to the hills to find food; there they search for grass to eat.
डाँडाहरूमा भएका आफ्‍ना खर्कहरूतिर त्‍यो घुम्‍छ । खानलाई त्यहाँ त्यसले हरेक हरियो बिरुवा खोज्‍छ ।
9 :Will a wild ox agree to work for you? Will it allow you to keep it penned up at night in the place where you put feed for your animals?
वन-गोरुले तेरो सेवा गर्न खुसी हुनेछ र? तेरो डुँडनेर बस्‍न त्यो सन्तुष्‍ट हुनेछ र?
10 And can you fasten it with a rope so that it will plow furrows/trenches in your fields?
वन-गोरुलाई हलोको सियोमा हिंडाउन तँ डोरीको प्रयोग गर्न सक्छन्? त्यसले तेरो कुरा मानेर उपत्यकाहरूलाई जोत्‍नेछ?
11 Since it is very strong, can you trust it to work for you? Can you go away after you tell it what work it should do [and assume that it will do that work]?
त्यसको बल अत्‍याधिक हुनाले त्यसमा तँ भर पर्छस् र? त्यसले तेरो काम गरोस् भनेर के तैंले आफ्नो काम छाड्नेछस्?
12 Can you rely on it to come back [from the field], bringing your grain to the place where you thresh it?
तेरो अन्‍न घरमा ल्‍याउन, अन्‍लाई तेरो खलामा जम्मा गर्न, के त्यसमाथि तँ भर पर्छस् र?
13 “[Think also about] the ostriches. [They] joyfully flap their wings, but they do not have wing feathers [that enable them to fly] like storks do.
शुतुरमुर्गका पखेटा हर्षोल्लाससाथ चल्छन्, तर के ती प्रेमका पखेटाहरू र पुच्‍छर हुन् र?
14 Ostriches lay their eggs on top of the ground [and then walk away], leaving the eggs to be warmed in the sand.
किनकि त्यसले भुइँमा आफ्ना फुलहरू छोड्छ, र ती त्‍यसले धूलोमा नै तातो हुन दिन्छ ।
15 Ostriches do not worry that some wild animal may step on the eggs and crush them [DOU].
पैतलाले तिनलाई कुल्चन सक्छ वा जङ्गली जनावरले कुल्चिन सक्‍छ भनी त्यसले बिर्सन्छ ।
16 Ostriches act cruelly towards their chicks; they act as though the chicks belonged to some other ostrich. They are not concerned if [their chicks die], [and so] the laying of the eggs was in vain.
त्यसले आफ्ना बच्‍चाहरूलाई आफ्नो नभएजस्तै गरी निर्दयतापूर्वक व्यवहार गर्छ । त्यसको परिश्रम व्यर्थैमा खेर जान्छ कि भनी त्यो डराउँदैन,
17 That is because I did not allow ostriches to be wise. I did not enable them to be intelligent.
किनकि परमेश्‍वरले त्यसलाई बुद्धिहीन तुल्याउनुभएको छ, र त्यसलाई कुनै समझशक्ति दिनुभएको छैन ।
18 But, when they get up and begin to run, they scornfully laugh at horses with their riders [because the horses cannot run as fast as the ostriches!]
जब त्यो तीव्र गतिमा दोडन्‍छ, त्यसले घोडा र त्यसमा सवार हुनेलाई गिल्ला गर्छ ।
19 And [think about] horses. [Job], are you the one who caused horses to be strong? Are you the one who put flowing (manes/long hair) on their necks?
घोडालाई त्यसको शक्ति तैंले दिएको हो? त्यसको गर्दनमा जगरले पहिराएको तैंले हो?
20 Are you the one who enabled them to leap forward like locusts? When they (snort/blow loudly through their noses), they cause people to be afraid.
त्यसलाई तैंले कहिल्यै सलहले झैं उफ्रन लगाएको छस्? त्यसको चर्को हिनहिनाइ डरलाग्दो हुन्‍छ ।
21 They paw the ground, rejoicing about being very strong, as they prepare to rush into a battle.
त्यसले शक्तिमा टाप बजाउँछ, र आफ्नो ताकतमा आनन्द मनाउँछ । हतियारको सामना गर्न त्यो जाइलाग्छ ।
22 [It is as if] they laugh at the thought of being afraid. They are not afraid of anything! They do not run away when [the soldiers in the battle are fighting each other with] swords.
त्यसले डरको खिल्ली उडाउँछ, र हतोत्साही हुँदैन । तरवार देखेर त्यो फर्केर भाग्‍दैन ।
23 The quivers containing the riders’ arrows rattle against the horses’ sides, and the spears and javelins flash [in the light of the sun].
काँडको ठोक्रो त्यसको छेउमा धर्ररर बज्छ, अनि त्यहाँ भाला र तरवार चम्कन्छ ।
24 The horses paw the ground fiercely/excitedly, [wanting the battle to begin, ] and they rush into the battle when the trumpet is blown.
क्रोध र रिसले त्यसले जमिनलाई निलिदिन्छ । तुरहीको आवाजले गर्दा त्यो एक ठाउँमा खडा हुन सक्दैन ।
25 They neigh [joyfully] when they hear someone blowing the trumpet. They can smell a battle even when they are far away, and they understand what it means when the commanders shout their commands [to their soldiers].
जब तुरही बजेको सुनिन्‍छ, तब त्यसले भन्छ, 'आहा!' कमान्‍डरहरूका गर्जने आवाज र होहल्‍लाले, त्यसले टाढैबाट युद्धको गन्ध थाहा पाउँछ ।
26 “[And think about big birds.] Are you the one who enabled hawks to spread their wings and fly to the south [for the winter]?
के तेरो बुद्धिद्वारा बाज माथि-माथि उड्ने हो र दक्षिणतिर त्यसले आफ्नो पखेटा फिंजाउने हो?
27 Do eagles fly high up [into the cliffs] to make their nests because you commanded them to do that?
के तेरो आज्ञामा गिद्ध माथि-माथि उड्ने हो र अग्ला ठाउँहरूमा आफ्ना गुँडहरू बनाउने हो?
28 They live in [holes in] those cliffs. They are safe in those high pointed rocks [because no animals can reach them there].
त्यो पहरामा बस्छ र पहराकै टाकुरामा त्यसले आफ्नो घर बनाउँछ जुन किल्‍लाझैं हुन्छ ।
29 As they watch carefully from there, they see far away the animals that they can kill (OR, dead bodies of animals).
त्यहाँबाट त्यसले सिकारहरूको खोजी गर्छ । त्यसका आँखाले धेरै टाढाबाट तिनलाई देख्छन् ।
30 After an eagle kills an animal, the baby eagles drink the blood of that animal.”
त्यसका बचेराहरूले पनि रगत पिउँछन् । जहाँ लाश हुन्छ, त्यहाँ त्यो हुन्छ ।”
