Job 4
1 Then Eliphaz, from Teman, replied to Job. He said,
तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 “Will you please let me say something to you? I am not [RHQ] able to remain silent [any longer].
“कसैलाई तपाईंसित कुरा गर्ने प्रयास गर्यो भने के तपाईं अधैर्य बन्नुहुन्छ? तर कसले आफैलाई बोल्नबाट रोक्न सक्छ?
3 In the past, you have instructed/taught many people, and you have encouraged those who were weak.
हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले धेरैलाई शिक्षा दिनुभएको छ । तपाईंले दुर्बल हातहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुभएको छ ।
4 By what you said, you have helped those who (needed spiritual help/almost quit trusting in God) [MET], and you have enabled them to become spiritually strong again [MET].
तपाईंका वचनहरूले त्यस्तोलाई सम्हालेको छ जो पतन हुँदै थियो। तपाईंले कमजोर घुँडाहरूलाई दरिलो पार्नुभएको छ ।
5 But now, when you experience disasters, you become discouraged. The disasters hit you, and you are stunned.
तर अहिले सङ्कष्ट तपाईंमा आएको छ, र तपाईं थकित हुनुहुन्छ । यसले तपाईंलाई छोएको छ, र तपाईंलाई कष्ट भएको छ ।
6 You revere God; (does that not cause you to trust [in him]?/that should cause you to trust [in him].) [RHQ] If you were guiltless, you would [RHQ] be confident that [God] would not [have allowed] these disasters [to] happen to you!
के तपाईंको डर तपाईंको निश्चयता, अनि तपाईंका मार्गहरूका सत्यनिष्ठा तपाईंको आशा होइन र?
7 Think about this: Do innocent people die [while they are still young] [RHQ]? Does God get rid of godly people [RHQ]? [No!]
कृपा गरी यस विषयमा सोच्नुहोस्: निर्दोष हुँदा पनि कुनै व्यक्ति कहिलै नष्ट भएको छ र? अर्थात् सोझा मानिसहरू कहिले मारिएका थिए र?
8 What I have experienced is this: [Just as] [MET] farmers who plant bad [seeds] do not harvest good [crops], [just as those who start] trouble for others, later bring trouble on themselves.
जे मैले देखेको छु त्यसअनुसार, अधर्म जोत्नेहरू र कष्ट छर्नेहरूले नै त्यसको कटनी गर्छन् ।
9 They die when God angrily blows his breath on them, when he is very angry with them.
परमेश्वरको सासले तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । उहाँको क्रोधको बिष्फोटले तिनीहरू भस्म हुन्छन् ।
10 [Even though wicked people may be very powerful like] young lions, [God] will get rid of them [MET].
सिंहको गर्जन, हिंस्रक सिंहको सोर र जवान सिंहहरूका दाँत— ती भाँचिएका छन् ।
11 [They will die like] fierce lions [that] starve to death when there are no animals that they can kill and eat, and [their children will be separated from each other like] young lions separate from each other [to find food].”
सिकारको अभावले बुढो सिंह नष्ट हुन्छ । सिंहनीका डमरुहरू जताततै छरपष्ट भएका हुन्छन् ।
12 “I heard a message that someone came and whispered to me.
यति बेला कुनै कुरा गुप्तमा मकहाँ ल्याइयो, र मेरो कानले यसको बारेमा कानेखुसी सुन्यो ।
13 He spoke to me at night when I was having a bad dream that disturbed/frightened me while I was fast asleep.
जब मानिसहरू घोर निद्रामा पर्छन्, तब रातको सपनाहरूद्वारा विचारहरू आए ।
14 It caused me to be afraid and tremble; it caused all my bones to shake.
त्यो रातमा नै थियो जुन बेला ममाथि डर र त्रास आए, र मेरा सबै हड्डी कामे ।
15 A ghost glided past my face and caused the hair on [on the back of] my neck to stand straight up.
तब मेरै अनुहारको सामुन्नेबाट एउटा आत्मा गयो, र मेरो शरीरको रौं ठाडो भयो ।
16 It stopped, but I could not see what form it had. But [I could sense that] there was some being in front of me, and it said in a quiet voice,
त्यो आत्मा खडा भयो, तर त्यसको दृष्यलाई मैले ठम्याउन सकिनँ । त्यसको स्वरूप मेरा आँखाकै सामु थियो । त्यहाँ मौनता थियो, र मैले यसो भनेको एउटा आवाज सुनें,
17 ‘(Does God consider anyone to be righteous?/No human beings can be righteous in God’s sight!) [RHQ] (Their creator cannot consider them to be pure./Can their creator consider them to be pure?) [RHQ]
“के मरणशील मानिस परमेश्वरभन्दा बढी धर्मी हुन्छ र? के मानिस आफूलाई बनाउनेभन्दा बढी शुद्ध हुन्छ?
18 God cannot be sure that his own angels [will always do what is right]; he declares that some of them have done what is wrong.
हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले आफ्ना सेवकहरूमाथि भरोसा गर्नुहुन्न भने, उहाँले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई मूर्खताको दोष लगाउनुहुन्छ भने,
19 So he certainly cannot trust human beings who were made from dust and clay, who are crushed as easily as moths are crushed!
माटोका घरहरूमा बस्नेहरूको बारेमा झन् यो कति साँचो हुन्छ? जसको जग धूलोमा छ, जो कीराभन्दा चाँडै कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिन्छन् ।
20 People are sometimes well in the morning, but in the evening they are dead. They are gone forever and do not even know it (OR, and no one pays any attention to it).
बिहान र बेलुकीको बिचमा तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । कसैको जानकारीविना नै तिनीहरू सदाको लागि नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
21 They are like [MET] tents that collapse [suddenly]: They die [suddenly] before they become wise.’”
के तिनीहरूका पालका डोरीहरू तिनीहरूकै बिचमा तानिएका छैनन् र? तिनीहरू मर्छन् । तिनीहरू बुद्धिविना मर्छन् ।
