अय्यूब 15
1 तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2 “के बुद्धिमान् मानिसले व्यर्थको ज्ञानले जवाफ दिनू? र के आफैलाई पूर्वीय बतासले भर्नू?
Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly 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 ।
Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
5 किनकि तपाईंको अधर्मले तपाईंको मुखलाई सिकाउँछ । धूर्त मानिसको जिब्रो तपाईंले रोज्नुभयो ।
For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6 तपाईंको आफ्नै मुखले तपाईंलाई दोषी ठहराउँछ, मेरो होइन । वास्तवमा, तपाईंको आफ्नै ओठले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा बोल्छ ।
Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee.
7 जन्मेकामध्ये पहिलो मानिस तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ र? पहाडहरूभन्दा पहिले तपाईंलाई बनाइएको हो र?
[Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8 तपाईंले परमेश्वरको ज्ञानको गुप्त कुरा सुन्नुभएको छ? तपाईंले बुद्धिलाई आफूमा मात्रै सीमित गर्नुहुन्छ र?
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9 तपाईंलाई के थाहा छ, जुन हामीलाई थाहा छैन? तपाईंले के बुझ्नुहुन्छ, जुन हामीमा पनि नभएको होस्?
What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou, 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 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 small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
12 तपाईंको हृदयले तपाईंलाई किन टाढा लैजान्छ? तपाईंका आँखा किन चम्किन्छन्?
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
13 जसले गर्दा आफ्नो आत्मालाई तपाईंले परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा फर्काउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो मुखबाट यस्ता वचनहरू बोल्नुहुन्छ?
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such] 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 putteth no trust in his saints; yes, 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 more abominable and filthy [is] man, who drinketh iniquity like water?
17 म तपाईंलाई देखाउनेछु । मेरो कुरा सुन्नुहोस् । मैले देखेका कुराहरू म तपाईंलाई घोषणा गर्नेछु,
I will show thee, hear 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 earth 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 travaileth with pain all [his] days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 उसका कानमा त्रासको सोर सुनिन्छ । उसको उन्नति हुँदा नै विनाशक उसमा आउनेछ ।
A dreadful sound [is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22 अन्धकारबाट ऊ फर्कनेछ भनी उसले सोच्दैन । तरवारले उसको प्रतीक्षा गर्छ ।
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for 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 wandereth abroad for bread, [saying], Where [is it]? he knoweth 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 ।
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall 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,
For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
26 यो दुष्ट मानिस हठ, बाक्लो ढाल लिएर, परमेश्वरलाई आक्रमण गर्न दौडन्छ ।
He runneth upon him, [even] on [his] neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27 आफ्नो अनुहार आफ्नो बोसोले ढाकेको, अनि आफ्नो कम्मरमा बोसो जाम्मा गरेको भए पनि,
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on [his] flanks.
28 र उजाड सहरहरूमा बसेको छ । अहिले कुनै मानिस नबस्ने घरहरूमा, जुन फोहोरको थुप्रो हुन तयार थिए ।
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, [and] in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are 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 he prolong the perfection of it upon 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 his mouth shall he go away.
31 आफैलाई धोका दिंदै उसले व्यर्थका कुराहरूमा भरोस नगरोस् । किनभने व्यर्थका कुरा त्यसको इनाम हुनेछ ।
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: 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.
34 किनकि ईश्वरहीन मानिसहरूको समूह बाँझो हुनेछ । तिनीहरूको घुसका पालहरूलाई आगोले भष्म पार्नेछ ।
For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35 तिनीहरूले बदमासी गर्भाधारण गर्छन् र अधर्मलाई जन्म दिन्छन् । तिनीहरूको गर्भले धोकालाई ठाउँ दिन्छ ।
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
