< अय्यूब 11 >
1 सोपर नमातीले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
2 “यति धेरै शब्दका जवाफ दिनुहुँदैन र? धेरै बोल्ने यी मानिसलाई विश्वास गर्नुपर्छ र?
“(Should no one answer all that you have said?/Someone should certainly answer all that you have said.) [RHQ] Just because you talk a lot, (should that cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong)?/that should not cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong).) [RHQ]
3 तपाईंको अहङ्कारले अरूलाई मौन बनाउनुपर्छ र? तपाईंले खिसी गर्नुहुँदा, कसैले तपाईंलाई लाजमा पार्नेछैन र?
Job, (should your babbling cause us to be silent?/your babbling should certainly not cause us to be silent.) [RHQ] When you make fun of us, shall no one [rebuke you and] cause you to be ashamed?
4 किनकि तपाईं परमेश्वरलाई भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मेरो विश्वास शुद्ध छ; तपाईंको दृष्टिमा म दोषरहित छु ।'
You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
5 तर परमेश्वर बोल्नुभए हुन्थ्यो, र तपाईंको विरुद्धमा आफ्नो ओठ खोल्नुभए हुन्थ्यो ।
But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
6 उहाँले तपाईंलाई बुद्धिका रहस्यहरू देखाउनुहुन्थ्यो । किनकि समझशक्तिमा उहाँ महान् हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंको अधर्मले पाउनेभन्दा थोरै दण्ड परमेश्वरले तपाईं दिनुहुन्छ भनी जान्नुहोस् ।
God knows everything about everything, so I wish/desire that he would tell you the secrets that he knows because he is wise. But you need to know that God is punishing you less than you deserve!
7 परमेश्वरलाई खोजेर तपाईंले उहाँलाई बुझ्न सक्नुहुन्छ? सर्वशक्तिमान्लाई तपाईं सिद्ध रूपमा बुझ्न सक्नुहुन्छ?
[“Tell me], will you ever be able to find out the things about God that are very difficult to understand? Will you be able to find out everything that there is to know about Almighty God?
8 यो विषय स्वर्गजत्तिकै अग्लो छ । तपाईंले के गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ? यो पातालभन्दा गहिरो छ । तपाईंले के जान्न सक्नुहुन्छ? (Sheol )
[What there is to know about God] is greater than [the distance from earth to] heaven; so there is no way [RHQ] that you can [understand it all]. It is greater than [the distance from here to] the place of the dead; so it is impossible for you [RHQ] to know it all. (Sheol )
9 यसको नाप पृथ्वीभन्दा लामो छ, र समुद्रभन्दा चौडा छ ।
What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
10 उहाँ आउनुहुन्छ र कसैलाई थुन्नुहुन्छ, र कसैलाई इन्साफको लागि बोलाउनुहुन्छ भने, कसले उहाँलाई रोक्न सक्छ र?
“If God comes to you and puts you in prison and then brings you to a court, (who can stop him?/no one can stop him.) [RHQ]
11 किनकि झुटा मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले चिन्नुहुन्छ । जब उहाँले अधर्म देख्नुहुन्छ, तब उहाँले त्यो ख्याल गर्नुहुन्न र?
He knows which people are worthless; and when he sees people doing wicked things, (will he ignore it?/he will certainly not ignore it!) [RHQ]
12 तर मूर्ख मानिसहरूको समझशक्ति हुँदैन । जङ्गली गधाले मानिसलाई जन्म दिंदा तिनीहरूले यो प्राप्त गर्छन् ।
Stupid people [like you] will start to become wise [SAR] when wild donkeys [stop giving birth to wild donkeys and] start giving birth to tame donkeys.
13 तर मानौँ, तपाईंले आफ्नो हृदय ठिक राखेको भए, र आफ्ना हात परमेश्वरतिर फैलाएको भए,
“Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
14 मानौँ, अधर्म तपाईंको हातमा थियो, तर त्यसलाई तपाईंले आफूबाट टाढा पुर्याएको भए, अनि तपाईंका पालहरूभित्र अधार्मिकतालाई बस्न नदिएको भए ।
If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
15 तब तपाईंले निश्चय पनि लाजको सङ्केतबिना नै आफ्नो अनुहार उठाउनुहुन्थ्यो । वास्तवमा तपाईं दृढ बन्नुहुन्थ्यो र डराउनुहुने थिएन ।
If you do what I have said, surely you will lift up your head because you will not be ashamed; you will be strong, and not afraid [of anything].
16 तपाईंले आफ्नो दुःख बिर्सनुहुन्थ्यो । तपाईंले त्यसलाई बगेर गएको पानीलाई झैं मात्र सम्झनुहुन्थ्यो ।
You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
17 तपाईंको जीवन मध्यदिनको भन्दा चम्किलो हुन्थ्यो । त्यहाँ अँध्यारो भए पनि, त्यो बिहानजस्तै हुन्थ्यो ।
[Your troubles will be ended, like the darkness ends] at the dawn; [it will be as though] [MET] the sun is shining brightly on you, like [it shines] at noon.
18 त्यहाँ आशा भएको हुनाले तपाईं सुरक्षित रहनुहुन्थ्यो । वास्तवमा तपाईंले आफ्नो सुरक्षा पाउनुहुन्थ्यो र तपाईंको विश्राम सुरक्षित हुन्थ्यो ।
You will feel safe/secure, because you will confidently expect [that good things will happen to you]; God will protect you and enable you to rest safely [each night].
19 साथै, तपाईं विश्राममा पल्टनुहुन्थ्यो, र कसैले तपाईंलाई भयभीत पार्दैनथ्यो । वास्तवमा धेरैले तपाईंको निगाह खोज्थे ।
You will lie down, and no one will cause you to be afraid. And many people will come and request you to do things for them.
20 तर दुष्ट मानिसहरूका आँखा चुक्नेछन् । भाग्नलाई तिनीहरूको कुनै बाटो हुनेछैन । तिनीहरूको एक मात्र आशा जीवनको आखिरी सुस्केरा हुनेछ ।”
But wicked people [SYN] will not be able to understand [why bad things are happening to them]; they will not have any way to escape [from their troubles]. The only thing that they will want to do is to die. [EUP]”
