अय्यूब 12
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Job answered,
2 “निस्सन्देह तपाईंहरू मानिस हुनुहुन्छ । बुद्धि तपाईंहरूसितै मर्नेछ ।
"No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
3 तर तपाईंहरूसित भएझैं मसित पनि समझशक्ति छ । म तपाईंहरूभन्दा कम छैनँ । वास्तवमा यस्ता कुराहरू कसले जान्दैन र?
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn't know such things as these?
4 म आफ्नो छिमेकीको हाँस्ने कुरा भएको छु, मैले परमेश्वरमा पुकारा गरें अनि उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो । म न्यायी र दोषरहित मानिस— अहिले म हाँस्ने कुरा भएको छु ।
I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
5 चैनमा बस्नेको विचारले दुर्भाग्यलाई घृणा गरिन्छ । चिप्लेकाहरूलाई अझै बढी दुर्भाग्य ल्याउने गरी उसले विचार गर्छ ।
In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
6 डाँकुहरूका पालको उन्नति हुन्छ, र परमेश्वरलाई रिस उठाउनेहरूले सुरक्षित महसुस गर्छन् । तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हात तिनीहरूका ईश्वर हुन् ।
The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.
7 तर अब जङ्गली पशुहरूलाई सोध्नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई भन्नेछन् । आकाशका चराहरूलाई सोध्नुहोस्, र तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई बताउनेछन् ।
"But ask the animals, now, and they shall teach you; the birds of the sky, and they shall tell you.
8 वा पृथ्वीसित बोल्नुहोस्, र त्यसले तपाईंलाई सिकाउनेछ । समुद्रका माछाहरूले तपाईंलाई घोषणा गर्नेछन् ।
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you. The fish of the sea shall declare to you.
9 परमप्रभुको हातले नै यसो गरेको हो भनेर, यी सबैमध्ये कुनचाहिं प्राणीले जान्दैन र?
Who doesn't know that in all these, the hand of the LORD has done this,
10 उहाँकै हातमा हरेक जीवित प्राणीको जीवन, अनि सारा मानव-जातिको सास छ ।
in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all humankind?
11 जिब्रोले खानाको स्वाद लिएझैं, के कानले वचनको जाँच गर्दैन र?
Doesn't the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
12 पाका मानिसहरूसित बुद्धि हुन्छ । लामो आयुमा समझशक्ति हुन्छ ।
With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.
13 परमेश्वरसित बुद्धि र शक्ति छन् । उहाँसित सल्लाह र समझशक्ति छन् ।
"With him is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
14 हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँले तोड्नुहुन्छ, त्यसलाई फेरि निर्माण गर्न सकिँदैन । उहाँले कसैलाई कैद गर्नुहुन्छ भने, त्यहाँ छुटकारा हुँदैन ।
Look, he breaks down, and it can't be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15 हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँले पानीलाई रोक्नुभयो भने, ती सुक्छन् । अनि उहाँले त्यसलाई पठाउनुहुन्छ भने, तिनले जमिनलाई डुबाउँछ ।
Look, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
16 उहाँसित ताकत र बुद्धि छन् । धोका दिने र धोका खानेहरू दुवै मानिसहरू उहाँको शक्तिमा हुन्छन् ।
With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 उहाँले सल्लाहकारहरूलाई शोकमा पारेर नाङ्गै खुट्टा हिंडाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले न्यायाधीशहरूलाई मूर्ख बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
18 उहाँले राजाहरूको उच्च अधिकार खोस्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूको कम्मरमा पटुका बेर्नुहुन्छ ।
He loosens the bond of kings. He binds their waist with a belt.
19 उहाँले पुजारीहरूलाई शोकमा नाङ्गै खुट्टा हिंडाउनुहुन्छ, र शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई फाल्नुहुन्छ ।
He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.
20 उहाँले भरोसायोग्य बोलीलाई हटाउनुहुन्छ, र समझशक्तिलाई धर्म-गुरुहरूबाट टाढा पुर्याउनुहुन्छ ।
He removes the speech of those who are trusted, and takes away the understanding of the elders.
21 उहाँले राजकुमारहरूमाथि निन्दा खन्याउनुहुन्छ, र बलिया मानिसहरूको पेटी फुकाल्नुहुन्छ ।
He pours contempt on princes, and loosens the belt of the strong.
22 उहाँले अन्धकारका गहिरा कुराहरू प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ, र अँध्यारो छायामा ज्योति ल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
23 उहाँले जातिहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुहुन्छ, र उहाँले नै तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले जातिहरूलाई बिस्तार गर्नुहुन्छ, र उहाँले नै तिनीहरूलाई कैदी बनाएर लैजानुहुन्छ ।
He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
24 उहाँले पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूबाट समझशक्ति हटाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा भौंतारिन लगाउनुहुन्छ जहाँ कुनै बाटो हुँदैन ।
He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 उज्यालोविना अन्धकारमा तिनीहरू छामेर हिंड्छन् । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मातेको मान्छैझै धर्मराउने बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.
