अय्यूब 15
1 तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
2 “के बुद्धिमान् मानिसले व्यर्थको ज्ञानले जवाफ दिनू? र के आफैलाई पूर्वीय बतासले भर्नू?
Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
3 के उहाँले बेफाइदाका कुराले, अनि आफूले भलो गर्न नसक्ने बोलीले तर्क गर्नू?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4 वास्तवमा तपाईंले परमेश्वरको आदर घटाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँको भक्तिमा तपाईंले बाधा दिनुहुन्छ ।
Yea, thou do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
5 किनकि तपाईंको अधर्मले तपाईंको मुखलाई सिकाउँछ । धूर्त मानिसको जिब्रो तपाईंले रोज्नुभयो ।
For thine iniquity teaches thy mouth. And thou choose the tongue of the crafty.
6 तपाईंको आफ्नै मुखले तपाईंलाई दोषी ठहराउँछ, मेरो होइन । वास्तवमा, तपाईंको आफ्नै ओठले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा बोल्छ ।
Thine own mouth condemns thee, and not I. Yes, thine own lips testify against thee.
7 जन्मेकामध्ये पहिलो मानिस तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ र? पहाडहरूभन्दा पहिले तपाईंलाई बनाइएको हो र?
Are thou the first man who was born? Or were thou brought forth before the hills?
8 तपाईंले परमेश्वरको ज्ञानको गुप्त कुरा सुन्नुभएको छ? तपाईंले बुद्धिलाई आफूमा मात्रै सीमित गर्नुहुन्छ र?
Have thou heard the secret counsel of God? And do thou limit wisdom to thyself?
9 तपाईंलाई के थाहा छ, जुन हामीलाई थाहा छैन? तपाईंले के बुझ्नुहुन्छ, जुन हामीमा पनि नभएको होस्?
What do thou know, that we do not know? What do thou understand, which is not in us?
10 कपाल फुलेका र पाका दुवै मानिसहरू हामीसित छन्, जो तपाईंका पिताभन्दा ज्यादै वृद्ध छन् ।
With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than thy father.
11 परमेश्वरको सान्त्वना, तपाईंप्रति कोमल वचनहरू, के ती तपाईं ज्यादै तुच्छ छन् र?
Are the consolations of God too small for thee, even the word that is gentle toward thee?
12 तपाईंको हृदयले तपाईंलाई किन टाढा लैजान्छ? तपाईंका आँखा किन चम्किन्छन्?
Why does thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash,
13 जसले गर्दा आफ्नो आत्मालाई तपाईंले परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा फर्काउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो मुखबाट यस्ता वचनहरू बोल्नुहुन्छ?
that against God thou turn thy spirit, and let words go out of thy mouth?
14 मानिस के हो र ऊ शुद्ध हुनुपर्यो? स्त्रीबाट जन्मेको मानिस को हो जो धर्मी हुनुपर्यो?
What is man, that he should be clean? And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले आफ्ना पवित्र जनमाथि पनि भरोसा राख्नुहुन्न । वास्तवमा उहाँको दृष्टिमा स्वर्ग पनि शुद्ध छैन ।
Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16 घृणित र भ्रष्ट व्यक्ति झन् कति कम शुद्ध होला, एक जना मानिस जसले अधर्मलाई पानीझैं पिउँछ।
How much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
17 म तपाईंलाई देखाउनेछु । मेरो कुरा सुन्नुहोस् । मैले देखेका कुराहरू म तपाईंलाई घोषणा गर्नेछु,
I will show thee. Hear thou me, and that which I have seen I will declare,
18 बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूबाट हस्तान्त्रण गरेका कुरा, तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले नलुकाएका कुरा भन्नेछु ।
which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it,
19 यी तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू थिए, जसलाई मात्र यो देश दिइएको थियो, र जसका बिचमा कुनै विदेशी बसेन ।
to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them:
20 दुष्टहरू आफ्नो जीवनकालभरि नै दुःखमा पर्छन् । दुःख पाउनलाई अत्याचारीहरूका लागि वर्षका सङ्ख्या तोकिएका छन् ।
The wicked man travails with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
21 उसका कानमा त्रासको सोर सुनिन्छ । उसको उन्नति हुँदा नै विनाशक उसमा आउनेछ ।
A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22 अन्धकारबाट ऊ फर्कनेछ भनी उसले सोच्दैन । तरवारले उसको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ ।
He does not believe that he shall return out of darkness. And he is awaited by the sword.
23 ऊ रोटी खोज्दै विभिन्न ठाउँमा यसो भन्दै जान्छ, ‘खोई त्यो कहाँ छ?' अन्धकारको समय नजिक आएको छ भनी उसलाई थाहा छ ।
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 निराशा र पीडाले त्यसलाई भयभीत पार्छ । युद्धको लागि तयार राजाझैं उसको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूले प्रभुत्व जमाउँछन् ।
Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him as a king ready to the battle.
25 परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा उसले आफ्नो हात पसारेको छ, र सर्वशक्तिमान्को विरुद्धमा अहङ्कारले व्यवहार गरेको छ,
Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty.
26 यो दुष्ट मानिस हठ, बाक्लो ढाल लिएर, परमेश्वरलाई आक्रमण गर्न दौडन्छ ।
He runs upon him with a stiff neck, with the thick studs of his bucklers,
27 आफ्नो अनुहार आफ्नो बोसोले ढाकेको, अनि आफ्नो कम्मरमा बोसो जाम्मा गरेको भए पनि,
because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon his loins.
28 र उजाड सहरहरूमा बसेको छ । अहिले कुनै मानिस नबस्ने घरहरूमा, जुन फोहोरको थुप्रो हुन तयार थिए ।
And he has dwelt in desolate cities, in houses which no man inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
29 ऊ धनी हुनेछैन । उसको धन-सम्पत्ति टिक्नेछैन, र उसका धनदौलत देशमा फैलिनेछैन ।
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.
30 उसले अन्धकारबाट छुटकारा पाउनेछैन । ज्वालाले उसका हाँगाहरूलाई सुकाउनेछ । परमेश्वरको मुखको सासले ऊ मर्नेछ ।
He shall not depart out of darkness. The flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of God's mouth he shall go away.
31 आफैलाई धोका दिंदै उसले व्यर्थका कुराहरूमा भरोस नगरोस् । किनभने व्यर्थका कुरा त्यसको इनाम हुनेछ ।
Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself. For vanity shall be his recompense.
32 उसको मर्ने समयभन्दा पहिले नै यसो हुनेछ । उसको हाँगा हरियो हुनेछैन ।
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
33 नपाकेका अङ्गुर झरेझैं ऊ झर्नेछ । भद्राक्षको बोटबाट फुलहरू झरेझैं ऊ जर्नेछ ।
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive tree.
34 किनकि ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूको समूह बाँझो हुनेछ । तिनीहरूको घुसका पालहरूलाई आगोले भष्म पार्नेछ ।
For the company of the hypocrites shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
35 तिनीहरूले बदमासी गर्भाधारण गर्छन् र अधर्मलाई जन्म दिन्छन् । तिनीहरूको गर्भले धोकालाई ठाउँ दिन्छ ।
They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their heart prepares deceit.
