< Job 8 >

1 Then Bildad, from [the] Shuah [area], spoke to Job. He said,
तब बिल्दाद शुहीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 “Job, how much longer will you talk like this? What you say is [only] hot air.
“तपाईं कहिलेसम्म यी कुरा भन्‍नुहुन्छ? कहिलेसम्म तपाईंको मुखका वचन शक्तिशाली बतास हुनेछन्?
3 Almighty God certainly never does [RHQ] what is unfair/unjust. He always does [LIT] what is right/fair.
के परमेश्‍वरले न्यायमा रोक लगाउनुहुन्‍छ र? के सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ले धार्मिकतामा रोक लगाउनुहुन्छ र?
4 So, it is evident that your children have sinned against him, therefore he has caused them to be punished for evil things that they have done.
तपाईंका छोराछोरीले उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छन् । हामी यो जान्‍दछौं, किनकि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍नै पापमा मर्न दिनुभयो ।
5 But, if you will [now] earnestly request [DOU] Almighty [God] to help you,
तर मानौँ, तपाईंले परमेश्‍वरलाई बडो मेहनत गरेर खोज्नुभयो, अनि आफ्नो बिन्ती सर्वशक्तिमान्‌लाई चढाउनुभयो ।
6 and if you are pure and honest/righteous, he will surely do something good for you and reward you by giving your family back to you and enabling you to prosper.
तपाईं शुद्ध र सोझो हुनुहुन्छ भने, उहाँले निश्‍चय पनि तपाईंको पक्ष लिनुहुन्‍छ, र तपाईंको उचित स्थानमा तपाईंलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्नुहुन्‍छ ।
7 And even though you [think that you] were not very prosperous/wealthy before, during the last part of your life you will become very wealthy.
तपाईंको सुरुआत् सानो भए तापनि, तपाईंको आखिरी अवस्था महान् हुन्‍छ ।
8 “I request you to think about what happened long ago and consider what our ancestors found out.
कृपया पहिलेका पुस्ताहरूलाई सोध्‍नुहोस्, र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले सिकेका कुरामा आफ्‍नो ध्यान लगाउनुहोस् ।
9 [It seems as though] we were born only yesterday and we know very little [HYP]; our time here on the earth [disappears quickly, like] a shadow [MET].
(हामी हिजो मात्र जन्मियौं र हामी केही जन्‍दैनौं, किनकि पृथ्वीमा हाम्रा दिनहरू छाया मात्र हो ।)
10 So, why do you not allow your ancestors to teach you and tell you something? Allow them to tell you from what they learned!
के तिनले तपाईंलाई सिकाउने र भन्‍ने छैनन् र? के तिनले आफ्ना हृदयहरूबाट वचन बोल्ने छैनन्?
11 Papyrus can certainly not [RHQ] grow in places where there is no marsh/swamp; reeds certainly cannot [RHQ] flourish/grow where there is no water.
के दलदल नभएको ठाउँमा नर्कट उम्रन्छ? के पानीविना निगालाहरू बढ्छन्?
12 [If they do not have enough water], while they are still blossoming, they wither more quickly than other plants wither.
ती अझै हरिया छँदै र नकाटकै बेलामा, अरू कुनै बिरुवाभन्दा पहिले नै ती सुक्‍छन् ।
13 Those who do not pay attention to what God says are like those [reeds]; godless people stop confidently expecting [that good things will happen to them].
परमेश्‍वरलाई बिर्सनेहरू सबैका मार्गहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्‍छन् । ईश्‍वरहीनको आशा नष्‍ट हुन्‍छन् ।
14 The things they confidently expect to happen do not happen; things they trust [will help them] are [as fragile as] [MET] a spider’s web.
उसको दृढता टुक्राटुक्रा हुनेछन्, र उसको भरोसा माकुरोको जालझैं कमजोर हुन्छ ।
15 If they lean against a house (OR, trust in their wealth; OR, lean on a spider web), it does not (endure/protect them) [LIT]; they cling to things [to be protected], but those things do not remain firm.
ऊ आफ्नो घरमा अडेल लग्‍छ, तर त्‍यसले उसलाई थाम्दैन । उसले त्‍यसमा समात्छ, तर यो अडिंदैन ।
16 Godless people [are like plants] [MET] that are watered before the sun rises; their shoots spread all over the gardens.
घामको मुनि त्‍यो हरियो हुन्छ, र त्‍यसका पालुवाहरू त्‍यसको सारा बगैँचामा फैलिन्‍छ ।
17 The roots of those plants twist around piles of stones and cling tightly to rocks.
त्‍यसका जराहरू ढुङ्गाको थुप्रो वरिपरि बेरिन्छन् । तिनले चट्टानहरूका बिचमा राम्रा ठाउँहरू खोज्छन् ।
18 But if those plants are pulled out, [it is as though] the place where they were planted says ‘They were never here!’ [And that is what happens to wicked people who do not heed what God says].
तर यो व्यक्ति आफ्नो ठाउँ बाहिर नष्‍ट भयो भने, तब त्यो ठाउँले उसलाई इन्कार गर्नेछ र भन्‍नेछ, 'मैले तँलाई कहिल्यै देखिनँ ।'
19 Truly, evil people [MET] are not joyful [IRO] for a long time; other people come and take their places.
हेर्नुहोस्, त्यस्तो व्यक्तिको व्यवहारको 'आनन्द' यही हो । त्यसको ठाउँमा उही माटोबाट अन्य बिरुवाहरू उम्रनेछन् ।
20 :So, [I tell you, Job], God will not reject you if you are truly godly/righteous, but he does not help [IDM] evil people.
हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्‍वरले निर्दोष मानिसलाई फाल्‍नुहुन्‍न, न त उहाँले दुष्‍ट काम गर्नेहरूका हातलाई मदत गर्नुहुन्छ ।
21 He will enable you [MTY] to continually laugh and to always shout [joyfully].
तर पनि उहाँले तपाईंको मुखमा हाँसो, र तपाईंको ओठमा आनन्‍दको सोरले भर्नुहुनेछ ।
22 But those who hate you will be very ashamed, and the homes of wicked people will disappear.”
तपाईंलाई घृणा गर्नेहरू लाजले ढाकिनेछन् । दुष्‍टको पाल फेरि रहनेछैन ।”
