Job 40
1 Yahweh continued to speak to Job; he said,
परमप्रभुले अय्यूबसित निरन्तर बोल्नुभयो । उहाँले यसो भन्नुभयो,
2 “Should anyone who wishes to criticize try to correct the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer.”
“आलोचना गर्न चाहनेले सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई सुधार्ने कोसिस गर्नुपर्छ र? जसले परमेश्वरसित विवाद गर्छ, त्यसले जवाफ देओस् ।”
3 Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
तब अय्यूबले परमेश्वरलाई जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
4 “See, I am insignificant; how can I answer you? I put my hand over my mouth.
“हेर्नुहोस्, म नगण्य छु । मैले तपाईंलाई कसरी जवाफ दिन सक्छु र? म आफ्नो हातलाई आफ्नो मुखमा राख्छु ।
5 I spoke once, and I will not answer; indeed, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
मैले एकपल्ट बोलें, अनि म अब जवाफ दिने छैनँ । वास्तवमा दुई पकट बोलें, तर म अरू अगाडि बढनेछैनँ ।”
6 Then Yahweh answered Job out of a fierce storm and said,
तब परमप्रभुले प्रचण्ड आँधीबाट अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो,
7 “Now gird up your loins like a man, for I will ask you questions, and you must answer me.
“अब एक जना मानिसले झैं आफ्नो कम्मर कस्, किनकि म तँलाई प्रश्नहरू सोध्नेछु, र तैंले मलाई जवाफ दिनैपर्छ ।
8 Will you actually say that I am unjust? Will you condemn me so you may claim you are right?
के म अन्यायी छु भनेर तँ साँच्चै भन्छस्? तैंले आफू ठिक छु भनी दाबी गर्नलाई तँ मलाई दोष लगाउँछस्?
9 Do you have an arm like God's? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
के तँसँग परमेश्वरको जस्तो पाखुरा छ? के तँ उहाँको जस्तो आवाजले गर्जन सक्छस्?
10 Now clothe yourself in glory and dignity; array yourself in honor and majesty.
अब महिमा र इज्जतले आफैलाई सुसज्जित पार । आदर र ऐश्वर्यले आफैलाई सुसोभित पार ।
11 Scatter around the excess of your anger; look at everyone who is proud and bring him down.
तेरो रिसको झोँक छरपष्ट पार् । हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् ।
12 Look at everyone who is proud and bring him low; trample down wicked people where they stand.
हरेक अहङ्कारीलाई हेर अनि उसलाई तल झार् । दुष्ट मानिसहरू खडा भएकै ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई कुल्ची ।
13 Bury them in the earth together; imprison their faces in the hidden place.
तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ जमिनमा गाडिदे । तिनीहरूका अनुरहरूलाई लुकाइएको ठाउँमा कैद गर् ।
14 Then will I also acknowledge about you that your own right hand can save you.
तब तेरो दाहिने हातले तँलाई बचाउन सक्दोरहेछ, भनेर म तेरो विषयमा स्वीकार गर्नेछु ।
15 Look now at the behemoth, which I made when I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
अब मैले तँलाई बनाउँदा बनाएको बहेमोथलाई विचार गर् । एउटा गोरुले झैं त्यसले घाँस खान्छ ।
16 See now, his strength is in his loins; his power is in his belly's muscles.
हेर्, त्यसको बल त्यसको कम्मरमा हुन्छ । त्यसको शक्ति त्यसको पेटको मांसपेशीमा हुन्छ ।
17 He makes his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are joined together.
त्यसले आफ्नो पुच्छर देवदारुको रुखझैं बनाउँछ । त्यसको तिघ्राका नसाहरू कसिएका हुन्छन् ।
18 His bones are like tubes of bronze; his legs are like bars of iron.
त्यसका हड्डीहरू काँसाका नलीहरूझैं हुन्छन् । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू फलामका गजबारहरूझैं हुन्छन् ।
19 He is the chief of the creatures of God. Only God, who made him, can defeat him.
परमेश्वरका सृष्टिहरूमध्ये त्यो मुख्य हो । त्यसलाई बनाउनुहुने परमेश्वरले मात्र त्यसलाई पराजित गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।
20 For the hills provide him with food; the beasts of the field play nearby.
किनकि पहाडहरूले त्यसलाई खानेकुरो जुटाउँछन् । वन-पशुहरू त्यसकै नजिक खेल्छन् ।
21 He lies under the lotus plants in the shelter of the reeds, in the marshes.
कमलको फुलमुनि त्यो लुकेर बस्छ । निगालोको झाडीको छाया र सिमसारहरूमा त्यो लुक्छ ।
22 The lotus plants cover him with their shade; the willows of the brook are all around him.
कमलको फुलको छायाले त्यसलाई ढाक्छ । खोलाका लहरे-पीपलहरूले त्यसलाई चारैतिर घेर्छ ।
23 See, if a river floods its banks, he does not tremble; he is confident, though the Jordan should surge up to his mouth.
नदीको बाडी उर्लेर किनारमा आयो भने त्यो काँप्दैन । यर्दन नदी नै उर्लेर आई त्यसको मुखमा पस्यो भने पनि त्यो निर्धक्क हुन्छ ।
24 Can anyone capture him with a hook, or pierce his nose through with a snare?
के कसैले त्यसलाई बल्छीले पक्रन सक्छ? अथवा पासो थापेर त्यसको नाक छेड्न सक्छ?
