< अय्यूब 13 >
1 हेर्नुहोस्, मेरो आँखाले यो सबै देखेका छन् । मेरो कानले यसलाई सुनेको छ, र बुझेको छ ।
Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.
2 तपाईंहरू जे जान्नुहुन्छ, म त्यो जान्दछु । म तपाईंहरूभन्दा कम छैनँ ।
The same things are in my mind as in yours; I am equal to you.
3 तापनि, बरु म सर्वशक्तिमान्सित बोल्छु । म परमेश्वरसित तर्क गर्ने इच्छा गर्छु ।
But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.
4 तर तपाईंहरू झुटले सत्यलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईंहरू सबै जना तुच्छ वैद्यहरू हुनुहुन्छ ।
But you put a false face on things; all your attempts to put things right are of no value.
5 तपाईंहरू सबैजना सँगै चूप लाग्नुहोस् । त्यो नै तपाईंहरूको बुद्धि हुन्छ ।
If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!
6 अब मेरो आफ्नै तर्क सुन्नुहोस् । मेरो आफ्नै ओठको बिन्तीलाई सुन्नुहोस् ।
Give ear to the argument of my mouth, and take note of the words of my lips.
7 परमेश्वरको लागि तपाईंहरू अधार्मिकताले बोल्नुहुनेछ र? अनि तपाईंहरू उहाँको लागि छलले कुरा गर्नुहुनेछ र?
Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth?
8 उहाँलाई तपाईंहरू पक्षपात गर्नुहुनेछ र? परमेश्वरको लागि तपाईंहरू मुद्दाको बहस गर्नुहुनेछ र?
Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?
9 उहाँले तपाईंहरूको खोजी गर्नुहुँदा तपाईंहरूको भलो हुनेछ त? तपाईंहरूले मानिसहरूलाई छल गरेझैं उहाँलाई छल गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ र?
Will it be good for you to be searched out by him, or have you the thought that he may be guided into error like a man?
10 तपाईंहरूले गुप्तमा पक्षपात गर्नुभयो भने, उहाँले निश्चय नै तपाईंहरूलाई हप्काउनुहुन्छ ।
He will certainly put you right, if you have respect for persons in secret.
11 उहाँको वैभवले तपाईंहरूलाई आतङ्कित पार्दैन र? उहाँको डर तपाईंहरूमाथि पर्दैन र?
Will not his glory put you in fear, so that your hearts will be overcome before him?
12 तपाईंहरूका सम्झनलायक भनाइहरू खरानीले बनेका उखानहरू हुन् । तपाईंहरूका सुरक्षा माटोले बनेका सुरक्षा हुन् ।
Your wise sayings are only dust, and your strong places are only earth.
13 तपाईंहरू चूप लाग्नुहोस्, यसैले कि म बोल्न सकूँ । मलाई जे हुनु छ होस् ।
Keep quiet, and let me say what is in my mind, whatever may come to me.
14 म आफ्नो जीवनलाई खतरामा हाल्नेछु । म आफ्नो जीवनलाई आफ्नो हातमा लिनेछु ।
I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.
15 हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँले मलाई मार्नुहुन्छ भने, ममा कुनै आशा बाँकी रहनेछैन । तापनि उहाँको सामु म आफ्ना मार्गको बचाउ गर्नेछु ।
Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him;
16 यो नै मेरो छुटकाराको कारण हुनेछ, किनकि ईश्वरहीन व्यक्ति उहाँको सामु आउँदैन ।
And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,
17 हे परमेश्वर, मेरो कुरा ध्यानले सुन्नुहोस् । मेरो घोषणा तपाईंका कानमा पुगोस् ।
Give ear with care to my words, and keep what I say in your minds.
18 हेर्नुहोस्, आफ्नो बचाउ मेलै गरेको छु । म निर्दोष छु भनी म जान्दछु ।
See now, I have put my cause in order, and I am certain that I will be seen to be right.
19 मेरो विरुद्धमा अदालतमा बहस कसले गर्छ? तपाईंहरू त्यसो गर्न आउनुभयो र म गलत प्रमाणित भएँ भने, तब म चुप रहन्छु, र आफ्नो जीवन दिन्छु ।
Is any one able to take up the argument against me? If so, I would keep quiet and give up my breath.
20 हे परमेश्वर, मेरो निम्ति दुईवटा कुरा मात्र गर्नुहोस्, अनि म आफूलाई तपाईंको सामुबाट लुकाउनेछैनँ ।
Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face:
21 आफ्नो अत्याचारको हात मबाट निकाल्नुहोस्, अनि तपाईंका त्रासहरूले मलाई नतर्साउनुहोस् ।
Take your hand far away from me; and let me not be overcome by fear of you.
22 तब मलाई बोलाउनुहोस्, र म जवाफ दिनेछु । वा तपाईंसित म बोल्नेछु र तपाईंले जवाफ दिनुहोस् ।
Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer.
23 मेरा अधर्म र पाप कति धेरै छन्? मेरो अपराध र मेरो पापको जानकारी मलाई दिनुहोस् ।
What is the number of my evil-doings and my sins? give me knowledge of them.
24 आफ्नो अनुहार मबाट तपाईं किन लुकाउनुहुन्छ, अनि मलाई आफ्नो शत्रुजस्तो व्यवहार किन गर्नुहुन्छ?
Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters?
25 तपाईंले एउटा उडेको पातलाई सताउनुहुन्छ र? तपाईं सुकेका झारपातको पछि जानुहुन्छ र?
Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?
26 किनकि मेरो विरुद्धमा तपाईंले तिक्त कुराहरू लेख्नुहुन्छ । मेरो युवावस्थाका अधर्म प्राप्त गर्ने तपाईंले मलाई बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years;
27 तपाईंले मेरो खुट्टालाई ठिंगुरोमा हाल्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मेरा सबै मार्गलाई नजिकबाट हेर्नुहुन्छ । मेरो खुट्टाको पैतालाले टेकेको जमिनलाई तपाईंले जाँच्नुहुन्छ ।
And you put chains on my feet, watching all my ways, and making a limit for my steps;
28 यद्यपि म खेर जाने सडेगलेको कुराजस्तै, किराहरूले खाएको एउटा वस्त्रजस्तै छु ।
Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.
