अय्यूब 11
1 सोपर नमातीले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
But Zophar the Naamathite, responding, said:
2 “यति धेरै शब्दका जवाफ दिनुहुँदैन र? धेरै बोल्ने यी मानिसलाई विश्वास गर्नुपर्छ र?
Will he who speaks much, not also listen? Or will a talkative man be justified?
3 तपाईंको अहङ्कारले अरूलाई मौन बनाउनुपर्छ र? तपाईंले खिसी गर्नुहुँदा, कसैले तपाईंलाई लाजमा पार्नेछैन र?
Will men be silent only for you? And when you have mocked others, will no one refute you?
4 किनकि तपाईं परमेश्वरलाई भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मेरो विश्वास शुद्ध छ; तपाईंको दृष्टिमा म दोषरहित छु ।'
For you said: “My word is pure, and I am clean in your sight.”
5 तर परमेश्वर बोल्नुभए हुन्थ्यो, र तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो ओठ खोल्नुभए हुन्थ्यो ।
Yet I wish that God would speak with you, and would open his lips to you,
6 उहाँले तपाईंलाई बुद्धिका रहस्यहरू देखाउनुहुन्थ्यो । किनकि समझशक्तिमा उहाँ महान् हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंको अधर्मले पाउनेभन्दा थोरै दण्ड परमेश्वरले तपाईं दिनुहुन्छ भनी जान्नुहोस् ।
so that he might reveal to you the secrets of wisdom, and how intricate his law is, and that you would understand how much less he requires of you than your iniquity deserves.
7 परमेश्वरलाई खोजेर तपाईंले उहाँलाई बुझ्न सक्नुहुन्छ? सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई तपाईं सिद्ध रूपमा बुझ्न सक्नुहुन्छ?
By chance, will you comprehend the footsteps of God and reach all the way to the perfection of the Almighty?
8 यो विषय स्वर्गजत्तिकै अग्लो छ । तपाईंले के गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ? यो पातालभन्दा गहिरो छ । तपाईंले के जान्न सक्नुहुन्छ? (Sheol h7585)
He is higher than heaven, and what will you do? He is deeper than hell, but how will you know? (Sheol h7585)
9 यसको नाप पृथ्वीभन्दा लामो छ, र समुद्रभन्दा चौडा छ ।
His measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
10 उहाँ आउनुहुन्छ र कसैलाई थुन्नुहुन्छ, र कसैलाई इन्साफको लागि बोलाउनुहुन्छ भने, कसले उहाँलाई रोक्न सक्छ र?
If he overturns all things, or packs them together, who will contradict him?
11 किनकि झुटा मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले चिन्नुहुन्छ । जब उहाँले अधर्म देख्नुहुन्छ, तब उहाँले त्यो ख्याल गर्नुहुन्न र?
For he knows the vanity of men, and when he sees iniquity, does he not evaluate it?
12 तर मूर्ख मानिसहरूको समझशक्ति हुँदैन । जङ्गली गधाले मानिसलाई जन्म दिंदा तिनीहरूले यो प्राप्त गर्छन् ।
A vain man is lifted up in arrogance, and he thinks that he is born free like a wild ass’s colt.
13 तर मानौँ, तपाईंले आफ्नो हृदय ठिक राखेको भए, र आफ्ना हात परमेश्वरतिर फैलाएको भए,
But you have fortified your heart and extended your hands to him.
14 मानौँ, अधर्म तपाईंको हातमा थियो, तर त्यसलाई तपाईंले आफूबाट टाढा पुर्याएको भए, अनि तपाईंका पालहरूभित्र अधार्मिकतालाई बस्न नदिएको भए ।
If you would send away from you the iniquity that is in your hand, and not let injustice remain in your tabernacle,
15 तब तपाईंले निश्चय पनि लाजको सङ्केतबिना नै आफ्नो अनुहार उठाउनुहुन्थ्यो । वास्तवमा तपाईं दृढ बन्नुहुन्थ्यो र डराउनुहुने थिएन ।
then you would be able to lift up your face without blemish, and you would be steadfast and unafraid.
16 तपाईंले आफ्नो दुःख बिर्सनुहुन्थ्यो । तपाईंले त्यसलाई बगेर गएको पानीलाई झैं मात्र सम्झनुहुन्थ्यो ।
Misery, likewise, you would forget, or would remember only like waters that have passed by.
17 तपाईंको जीवन मध्यदिनको भन्दा चम्किलो हुन्थ्यो । त्यहाँ अँध्यारो भए पनि, त्यो बिहानजस्तै हुन्थ्यो ।
And brightness, like that of midday, will rise upon you until evening, and when you would think yourself consumed, you will rise up like the morning star.
18 त्यहाँ आशा भएको हुनाले तपाईं सुरक्षित रहनुहुन्थ्यो । वास्तवमा तपाईंले आफ्नो सुरक्षा पाउनुहुन्थ्यो र तपाईंको विश्राम सुरक्षित हुन्थ्यो ।
And, when hope has been set before you, you will have faith, and, when buried, you will sleep secure.
19 साथै, तपाईं विश्राममा पल्टनुहुन्थ्यो, र कसैले तपाईंलाई भयभीत पार्दैनथ्यो । वास्तवमा धेरैले तपाईंको निगाह खोज्थे ।
You will rest, and there will be nothing to make you afraid, and many will make requests before your face.
20 तर दुष्ट मानिसहरूका आँखा चुक्नेछन् । भाग्नलाई तिनीहरूको कुनै बाटो हुनेछैन । तिनीहरूको एक मात्र आशा जीवनको आखिरी सुस्केरा हुनेछ ।”
But the eyes of the impious will fade away, and the path to escape will perish before them, for the abomination of the soul is their hope.
