1 सोपर नमातीले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then answered Zophar the Na'amathite, and said.
2 “यति धेरै शब्‍दका जवाफ दिनुहुँदैन र? धेरै बोल्‍ने यी मानिसलाई विश्‍वास गर्नुपर्छ र?
Shall a multitude of words not be answered? and is it so that a man full of talk shall be deemed in the right?
3 तपाईंको अहङ्कारले अरूलाई मौन बनाउनुपर्छ र? तपाईंले खिसी गर्नुहुँदा, कसैले तपाईंलाई लाजमा पार्नेछैन र?
Thy inventions are to bring men to silence; and when thou utterest thy mocking no one is to cause thee to feel abashed!
4 किनकि तपाईं परमेश्‍वरलाई भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'मेरो विश्‍वास शुद्ध छ; तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा म दोषरहित छु ।'
For thou hast said [to God], My doctrine is pure, and I am become clean in thy eyes.
5 तर परमेश्‍वर बोल्‍नुभए हुन्‍थ्‍यो, र तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो ओठ खोल्‍नुभए हुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
But oh that God would but speak, and open his lips against thee;
6 उहाँले तपाईंलाई बुद्धिका रहस्यहरू देखाउनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । किनकि समझशक्तिमा उहाँ महान् हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंको अधर्मले पाउनेभन्दा थोरै दण्‍ड परमेश्‍वरले तपाईं दिनुहुन्छ भनी जान्‍नुहोस् ।
And that he would declare unto thee the secrets of wisdom; for it is double to that which is really in our possession: and thou wouldst experience that God overlooketh unto thee much of thy iniquity.
7 परमेश्‍वरलाई खोजेर तपाईंले उहाँलाई बुझ्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ? सर्वशक्तिमान्‌लाई तपाईं सिद्ध रूपमा बुझ्‍न सक्‍नुहुन्छ?
Canst thou find out the experience of God? or canst thou find [the way] unto the utmost limit of the Almighty?
8 यो विषय स्वर्गजत्तिकै अग्लो छ । तपाईंले के गर्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ? यो पातालभन्दा गहिरो छ । तपाईंले के जान्‍न सक्‍नुहुन्छ? (Sheol h7585)
It is as high as heaven; what canst thou effect? it is deeper than the nether world; what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585)
9 यसको नाप पृथ्वीभन्दा लामो छ, र समुद्रभन्दा चौडा छ ।
Longer than the earth is its measure, and broader than the sea.
10 उहाँ आउनुहुन्‍छ र कसैलाई थुन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, र कसैलाई इन्‍साफको लागि बोलाउनुहुन्‍छ भने, कसले उहाँलाई रोक्‍न सक्छ र?
If he pass by, and surrender [one to suffering], and call together an assembly, who can hinder him?
11 किनकि झुटा मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले चिन्‍नुहुन्छ । जब उहाँले अधर्म देख्‍नुहुन्‍छ, तब उहाँले त्‍यो ख्याल गर्नुहुन्‍न र?
For he knoweth the men of vanity: he seeth the wrong-doer and him who considereth not;
12 तर मूर्ख मानिसहरूको समझशक्ति हुँदैन । जङ्गली गधाले मानिसलाई जन्म दिंदा तिनीहरूले यो प्राप्‍त गर्छन् ।
And the heartless who acquireth intelligence, and him who is [like] the colt of the wild ass who is transformed into a man.
13 तर मानौँ, तपाईंले आफ्नो हृदय ठिक राखेको भए, र आफ्ना हात परमेश्‍वरतिर फैलाएको भए,
If thou truly direct [aright] thy heart, and spread out thy hands toward him: —
14 मानौँ, अधर्म तपाईंको हातमा थियो, तर त्‍यसलाई तपाईंले आफूबाट टाढा पुर्‍याएको भए, अनि तपाईंका पालहरूभित्र अधार्मिकतालाई बस्‍न नदिएको भए ।
If wrong be in thy hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tents.
15 तब तपाईंले निश्‍चय पनि लाजको सङ्केतबिना नै आफ्नो अनुहार उठाउनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । वास्तवमा तपाईं दृढ बन्‍नुहुन्‍थ्‍यो र डराउनुहुने थिएन ।
For then canst thou lift up thy face free from blemish: yea, thou wilt stand steadfast, and needest not to fear;
16 तपाईंले आफ्नो दुःख बिर्सनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । तपाईंले त्‍यसलाई बगेर गएको पानीलाई झैं मात्र सम्झनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
Because thou wilt truly forget thy trouble, and as a waterflood that is passed away wilt thou remember it;
17 तपाईंको जीवन मध्यदिनको भन्दा चम्किलो हुन्‍थ्‍यो । त्‍यहाँ अँध्यारो भए पनि, त्‍यो बिहानजस्तै हुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
And brighter than the noon of day will thy earthly existence arise; and thy obscurity will be like thy morning.
18 त्‍यहाँ आशा भएको हुनाले तपाईं सुरक्षित रहनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो । वास्तवमा तपाईंले आफ्नो सुरक्षा पाउनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो र तपाईंको विश्राम सुरक्षित हुन्‍थ्‍यो ।
And thou wilt feel trust, because there is hope: yea, thou wilt search about carefully, and thou wilt lie down in safety.
19 साथै, तपाईं विश्राममा पल्टनुहुन्‍थ्‍यो, र कसैले तपाईंलाई भयभीत पार्दैनथ्‍यो । वास्तवमा धेरैले तपाईंको निगाह खोज्‍थे ।
Also thou wilt stretch thyself out [to rest], with none to make thee afraid; and many will entreat thy favor.
20 तर दुष्‍ट मानिसहरूका आँखा चुक्‍नेछन् । भाग्‍नलाई तिनीहरूको कुनै बाटो हुनेछैन । तिनीहरूको एक मात्र आशा जीवनको आखिरी सुस्केरा हुनेछ ।”
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and the means of escape will vanish from them, and their [sole] hope shall be the breathing out of their soul.
