Job 9
1 Then Job replied,
तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 “Yes, I certainly know that [much of] what you said is true. But (how can anyone say to God, ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it?’/no one can say to God ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it.’) [RHQ]
“यो यस्तै हो भनी म साँच्चै जान्दछु । तर एक व्यक्ति कसरी परमेश्वसित ठिक हुन सक्छ?
3 If someone wanted to argue with God [about that], God could ask him 1,000 questions, and that person would not be able to answer any of them!
उसले परमेश्वरसित तर्क गर्न चाह्यो भने, उसले हजारपल्टमा एकपल्ट पनि जवाफ दिन सक्दैन ।
4 God is very wise [IDM] and very powerful; no one who has tried to challenge God has been able to win.
परमेश्वर हृदयमा बुद्धिमान् र बलमा शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको विरुद्धमा कसले आफूलाई कहिलै कठोर पारेको अनि सफल भएको छ र?
5 He even moves mountains, without them (OR, anyone) knowing about it. When he is angry, he turns them upside down.
जब उहाँले आफ्नो क्रोधमा पर्वतहरूलाई पल्टाउनुहुन्छ, तब उहाँले कसैलाई चेताउनी नदिइएर ती हटाउनुहुन्छ ।
6 He sends earthquakes that shake the ground; he causes the pillars that support the earth to tremble.
उहाँले पृथ्वीलाई यसको आफ्नो ठाउँबाट हल्लाउनुहुन्छ, र यसका टेकाहरूलाई कँपाउनुहुन्छ ।
7 [Some days] he speaks to the sun, and it does not rise, and [some nights] he prevents the stars from shining.
उहाँ उही परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले सूर्यलाई नउदाउन भन्नुहुन्छ, र त्यो उदाउँदैन, र जसले ताराहरूलाई ढाक्नुहुन्छ,
8 He alone (stretched out/put in place) the sky; he alone puts his feet on the waves (OR, on the huge sea monster).
जो आफैले आकाशलाई तन्काउनुहुन्छ, र समुद्रका छालहरूलाई कुल्चिनुहुन्छ,
9 He put in their places [the clusters/groups of stars that are called] The Dipper/Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars in the southern sky.
उहाँले सप्तर्षि, मृगशिरा र किरकिटी ताराहरू र दक्षिणका तारापुञ्जहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
10 Only he does great things that we cannot understand; he does more marvelous things than we are able to count.
उहाँले महान् र अगम्य कुराहरू, अनि अनगिन्ती उदेकका कामहरू गर्नुहुन्छ ।
11 He passes by where I am, but I do not see him; he moves further on, but I do not see him go.
हेर, उहाँ मेरो छेउबाट जानुहुन्छ, र पनि म उहाँलाई देख्दिनँ । उहाँ आफ्नो बाटो हिंड्नुहुँदा मलाई पत्तै हुँदैन ।
12 If he [wants to] snatch something away, no one [RHQ] can hinder him; no one dares to ask him, ‘Why are you doing that?’ [RHQ]
उहाँले कुनै कुरो खोस्नुभयो भने कसले उहाँलाई रोक्न सक्छ? कसले उहाँलाई भन्न सक्छ, 'तपाईं के गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ?'
13 God will not very easily stop being angry; he defeated [MTY] those who [tried to] help Rahab, [the great sea monster].
परमेश्वरले आफ्नो रिस रोक्नुहुन्न । राहाबका सहयोगीहरू उहाँको मुनि झुक्छन् ।
14 “So, [if God took me to court], what could I say [MTY] to answer him?
कति थोरै जवाफ मैले उहाँलाई दिन सक्छु, उहाँसित तर्क गर्न म शब्दहरू छान्न सक्छु र?
15 Even though I (would be innocent/would not have done what is wrong), I would not be able to answer him. All I could do would be to request God, my judge/accuser, to act mercifully toward me.
म धर्मी भए तापनि मैले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिन सक्दिन । मेरा न्यायकर्तासँत मैले कृपाको लागि बिन्ती मात्र चढाउन सक्छु ।
16 If I summoned him to [come to the courtroom] and he said that he would come, I would not believe that he would pay attention to what I would say.
मैले उहाँलाई पुकारेँ, र उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो भने पनि, उहाँले मेरो आवाज सुन्नुभयो भनेर म विश्वास गर्दिनँ ।
17 He sends storms to batter me, and he bruises me many times (without any reason to do that/even though I am innocent).
किनकि उहाँले मलाई आँधीले तोड्नुहुन्छ, र विनाकारण मेरा घाउहरू बढाउनुहुन्छ ।
18 [It is as though] he will not let me get/catch my breath, because he causes me to suffer all the time.
उहाँले मलाई फेरि सास फेर्ने दिनुहुन्न, तर उहाँले मलाई तिक्तताले भर्नुहुन्छ ।
19 If I would try to (wrestle with/fight against) him, [there is no way that I could defeat him, ] [because] he is stronger than I am. If I would request him to appear in court, there is no one who could [RHQ] force him to go there.
ताकतको विषय हो भने, उहाँ शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ । न्यायको विषय हो भने, कसले उहाँलाई बोलाउन सक्छ?
20 Even though I was innocent, what I would say would cause him to say that I must be punished [MTY]; even though I had not done anything wrong, he would prove that I am guilty.
म ठिक भए पनि मेरो आफ्नै मुखले मलाई दोषी ठहराउँछ । र म दोषरहित भए पनि मेरा वचनले मलाई दोषी प्रमाणित गर्छन् ।
21 “I have not done what is wrong, but that is not important. I despise continuing to remain alive.
म दोषरहित छु, तर अब फेरि म आफ्नै बारेमा वास्ता गर्दिनँ । मेरो आफ्नै जीवनलाई म घृणा गर्छु ।
22 But it doesn’t matter, because God will get rid of [all of us, ] both those who are innocent and those who are wicked.
यसले मलाई केही फरक पार्दैन । त्यसैले म भन्छु, उहाँले दोषरहित र दुष्ट मानिसलाई सँगसँगै नष्ट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
23 When people experience disaster and it causes them to suddenly die, God laughs at it, even if they are innocent.
जब कोर्राले अकस्मात् मार्छ, तब उहाँले निर्दोषहरूको निराशाको उपहास गर्नुहुन्छ ।
24 God has allowed wicked people to control [what happens in] the world. [It is as though] he has caused judges to be blindfolded, [with the result that they cannot judge fairly]. If it is not God who has put wicked people in control, who has done it?
पृथ्वी दुष्ट मानिसको हातमा दिइएको छ । परमेश्वरले यसका न्यायकर्ताहरूका मुहार ढाक्नुहन्छ । यसो गर्ने उहाँ हुनुहुन्न भने त्यो को हो त?
25 “My days go by very quickly, like a fast runner; [it is as though] they run away, and nothing good happens to me on those days.
मेरा दिनहरू कुद्ने दूतभन्दा पनि द्रुत गतिमा दौडन्छन् । मेरा दिनहरू भाग्छन् । तिनले कतै पनि भलो देख्दैनन् ।
26 My life goes by very rapidly, like a boat made from reeds sailing swiftly, or like an eagle that swoops down to seize a small animal.
ती निगालोको डुङ्गाजस्तै चाँडो बगेर छन्, र आफ्नो सिकारलाई वेगसित झम्टने चीलझैं छन् ।
27 If I smile and say [to God], ‘I will forget what I am complaining about; I will stop looking sad and try to be cheerful/happy,’
आफ्ना गुनासाहरूको विषयमा म बिर्सन्छु, आफ्नो निराश अनुहार म हटाउँछु र खुसी हुन्छु भनें पनि,
28 then I become afraid because of all that I am suffering, because I know that God does not consider that I am innocent.
आफ्ना सबै शोकदेखि म डराउँछु, किनकि तपाईंले मलाई निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुने छैन भनी म जान्दछु ।
29 He will (condemn me/declare that I should be punished), so why should I keep trying in vain [to defend myself]?
म दोषी ठहराइने छु । तब मैले किन व्यर्थैमा कोसिस गर्ने?
30 If I washed myself with snow or cleansed my hands with lye/soap [to get rid of my guilt],
आफैलाई मैले हिउँको पानीले धोएँ, र आफ्ना हात अत्यन्तै सफा बनाए पनि,
31 he would still throw me into a filthy pit; as a result [it would be as though] even my clothes would detest me.
परमेश्वरले मलाई हिलैमा फाल्नुहुन्छ, र मेरा आफ्नै लुगाहरूले मलाई घृणा गर्छन् ।
32 “God is not a human, as I am, so there is no way that I could answer him [to prove that I am innocent] if we went together to have a trial [in a courtroom].
किनकि परमेश्वर मजस्तै मानिस हुनुहुन्न, कि म उहाँलाई जवाफ दिन सकूँ, वा अदालतमा हामी सँगसँगै आउन सकौं ।
33 There is no one to (mediate/hear us and decide who is right), no one who has authority over both of us [IDM].
हाम्रा बिचमा कुनै न्यायधीश छैन, जसले हामी दुवैमाथि आफ्ना हात पसार्न सक्छ ।
34 I wish/desire that he would stop punishing [MTY] me, and that he would not continue to terrify me.
अर्को कुनै न्यायाधीश छैन, जसले परमेश्वरको लौरो मबाट हटाउन सक्छ, जसले मलाई भयभीत पार्नबाट उहाँको त्रासलाई रोक्न सक्छ ।
35 If he did that, I would declare [that I am innocent] without being afraid of him, because I know that I really have not [done what is wrong like God thinks that I have].”
तब म बोल्नेछु र उहाँदेखि डराउँदिनँ, तर अहिलेको जस्ता कुराहरू छन्, म त्यसो गर्न सक्दिनँ ।
