अय्यूब 20
1 तब सोपर नमातीले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 “ममा भएको चिन्ताको कारणले, मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई झट्टै जवाफ दिने बनाउँछन् ।
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of my haste that is in me.
3 मलाई अनादार गर्ने हप्की म सुन्छु, तर मेरो सुझबुझको आत्माले मलाई जवाफ दिन्छ ।
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.
4 यो सत्यता तपाईंलाई प्राचीन समयदेखि नै थाहा छैन र, जति बेला परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई पृथ्वीमा राख्नुभयोः
Knowest thou [not] this of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,
5 दुष्ट मानिसको जित क्षणिक हुन्छ, र ईश्वरहीन मानिसको आनन्द क्षणभर मात्र रहन्छ ।
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 उसको उच्चता आकाशसम्मै पुगे, र उसको शिर बादलसम्मै पुगे पनि,
Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;
7 त्यस्तो व्यक्ति आफ्नै मलमूत्रझैं स्थायी रूपमा नष्ट हुनेछ । उसलाई देखेकाहरूले सोध्नेछन्, 'ऊ कहाँ छ?'
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8 ऊ सपनाझैं हराउनेछ, र भेट्टाइने छैन । वास्तवमा ऊ रातको दर्शनझैं लुप्त हुनेछ ।
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9 उसलाई देखेका आँखाले फेरि उसलाई देख्नेछैन । उसको ठाउँले फेरि उसलाई देख्नेछैन ।
The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 उसका छोराछोरीले गरिब मानिसहरू सँग क्षमा माग्नेछन् । उसको धन-सम्पत्ति उसकै हातले फिर्ता गर्नुपर्नेछ ।
His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth.
11 उसका हड्डीहरू युवावस्थाका ताकतले भरिएका छन्, तर ऊसँगै ती पनि भुइँमा ढल्नेछन् ।
His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.
12 उसको मुखमा दुष्टता गुलियो भए पनि, उसले त्यसलाई आफ्नो जिब्रोमुनि लुकाए पनि,
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, Though he hide it under his tongue,
13 उसले त्यो त्यहीं राख्छ अनि त्यसलाई, फुत्किन दिंदैन तर त्यो आफ्नो मुखेमा राख्छ भने पनि,
Though he spare it, and will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth;
14 उसको भुँडीभित्र भएको खाना तितो बन्छ । उसको भित्र त्यो सर्पको विषझैं बन्छ ।
Yet his food in his bowels is turned, It is the gall of asps within him.
15 उसले धन-सम्पत्ति निल्छ, तर उसले फेरि ती बान्ता गर्छ । परमेश्वरले उसको पेटबाट ती बाहिर निकाल्नुन्छ ।
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.
16 उसले सर्षको विष चुस्नेछ । साँभे-सर्पको जिब्रोले उसलाई मार्नेछ ।
He shall suck the poison of asps: The viper’s tongue shall slay him.
17 महको धारा अर्थात् तरलता, र घिउको आनन्द उसले लिन पाउनेछैन ।
He shall not look upon the rivers, The flowing streams of honey and butter.
18 आफ्नो परिश्रमको फल उसले फिर्ता गर्नेछ र त्यो खान सक्नेछैन । आफ्नो व्यापारद्वारा कमाएको सम्पत्तिको आनन्द उसले पाउनेछैन ।
That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
19 किनकि उसले गरिब मानिसहरूलाई अत्याचार र बेवास्ता गरेको छ । आफूले नबनाएका घरहरूलाई उसले जबरजस्ती कब्जा गरेको छ ।
For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
20 ऊ आफैमा सन्तुष्ट नभएको हुनाले, आफूले मजा लिने कुनै कुरा पनि उसले बचाउन सक्नेछैन ।
Because he knew no quietness within him, He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.
21 उसले नखाएको कुनै कुरो बाँकी छैन । त्यसकारण उसको सम्बृद्धि स्थायी हुनेछैन ।
There was nothing left that he devoured not; Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
22 आफ्नो धनको प्रचुरतामा ऊ सङ्कष्टमा पर्नेछ । गरिबीमा रहेकाहरू हरेकको हात उसको विरुद्धमा आइलाग्नेछ ।
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
23 उसले आफ्नो पेट भर्नै लाग्दा, परमेश्वरले आफ्नो घोर क्रोध उसमा उतार्नुहुन्छ । उसले खाइरहँदा परमेश्वरले उसमाथि त्यो बर्साउनुहुन्छ ।
When he is about to fill his belly, [God] will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And will rain it upon him while he is eating.
24 त्यो मानिस फलामको हतियारबाट भागे तापनि, काँसको धनुले उसलाई प्रहार गर्नेछ ।
He shall flee from the iron weapon, And the bow of brass shall strike him through.
25 आफ्नो पिठिउँबाट उसले त्यो तान्नेछ, र चम्कने टुप्पो उसको कलेजोबाट बाहिर निस्कनेछ । उसमा त्रासहरू आउनेछन् ।
He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body; Yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall: Terrors are upon him.
26 उसको धनको लागि निस्पट्ट अन्धकार साँचिएको छ । प्रचण्ड आगोले उसलाई भस्म पार्नेछ । उसको पालमा छोडिएका सबै कुरालाई त्यसले भष्म पार्नेछ ।
All darkness is laid up for his treasures: A fire not blown [by man] shall devour him; It shall consume that which is left in his tent.
27 स्वर्गले उसको अधर्म प्रकट गर्नेछ, र साक्षीको रूपमा पृथ्वी नै उसको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ ।
The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, And the earth shall rise up against him.
28 उसको घरको धन लुप्त हुनेछ । परमेश्वरको क्रोधको दिनमा उसका सामानहरू टाढा बग्नेछन् ।
The increase of his house shall depart; [His goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29 परमेश्वरबाट दुष्ट मानिसले पाउने भाग, परमेश्वरले उसको निम्ति साँच्नुभएको पैतृक-अंश यही हो ।
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.
