अय्यूब 20
1 तब सोपर नमातीले जवाफ दिए र यसो भने,
Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,
2 “ममा भएको चिन्ताको कारणले, मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई झट्टै जवाफ दिने बनाउँछन् ।
I did not suppose that thou wouldest answer thus: neither do ye understand more than I.
3 मलाई अनादार गर्ने हप्की म सुन्छु, तर मेरो सुझबुझको आत्माले मलाई जवाफ दिन्छ ।
I will hear my shameful reproach; and the spirit of my understanding answers me.
4 यो सत्यता तपाईंलाई प्राचीन समयदेखि नै थाहा छैन र, जति बेला परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई पृथ्वीमा राख्नुभयोः
Hast thou [not] known these things of old, from the time that man was set upon the earth?
5 दुष्ट मानिसको जित क्षणिक हुन्छ, र ईश्वरहीन मानिसको आनन्द क्षणभर मात्र रहन्छ ।
But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall, and the joy of transgressors is destruction:
6 उसको उच्चता आकाशसम्मै पुगे, र उसको शिर बादलसम्मै पुगे पनि,
although his gifts should go up to heaven, and his sacrifice reach the clouds.
7 त्यस्तो व्यक्ति आफ्नै मलमूत्रझैं स्थायी रूपमा नष्ट हुनेछ । उसलाई देखेकाहरूले सोध्नेछन्, 'ऊ कहाँ छ?'
For when he shall seem to be now established, then he shall utterly perish: and they that knew him shall say, Where is he?
8 ऊ सपनाझैं हराउनेछ, र भेट्टाइने छैन । वास्तवमा ऊ रातको दर्शनझैं लुप्त हुनेछ ।
Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found; and he has fled like a vision of the night.
9 उसलाई देखेका आँखाले फेरि उसलाई देख्नेछैन । उसको ठाउँले फेरि उसलाई देख्नेछैन ।
The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again; and his place shall no longer perceive him.
10 उसका छोराछोरीले गरिब मानिसहरू सँग क्षमा माग्नेछन् । उसको धन-सम्पत्ति उसकै हातले फिर्ता गर्नुपर्नेछ ।
Let [his] inferiors destroy his children, and let his hands kindle the fire of sorrow.
11 उसका हड्डीहरू युवावस्थाका ताकतले भरिएका छन्, तर ऊसँगै ती पनि भुइँमा ढल्नेछन् ।
His bones have been filled with [vigour of] his youth, and it shall lie down with him in the dust.
12 उसको मुखमा दुष्टता गुलियो भए पनि, उसले त्यसलाई आफ्नो जिब्रोमुनि लुकाए पनि,
Though evil be sweet in his mouth, [though] he will hide it under his tongue;
13 उसले त्यो त्यहीं राख्छ अनि त्यसलाई, फुत्किन दिंदैन तर त्यो आफ्नो मुखेमा राख्छ भने पनि,
though he will not spare it, and will not leave it, but will keep it in the midst of his throat:
14 उसको भुँडीभित्र भएको खाना तितो बन्छ । उसको भित्र त्यो सर्पको विषझैं बन्छ ।
yet he shall not at all be able to help himself; the gall of an asp is in his belly.
15 उसले धन-सम्पत्ति निल्छ, तर उसले फेरि ती बान्ता गर्छ । परमेश्वरले उसको पेटबाट ती बाहिर निकाल्नुन्छ ।
[His] wealth unjustly collected shall be vomited up; a messenger [of wrath] shall drag him out of his house.
16 उसले सर्षको विष चुस्नेछ । साँभे-सर्पको जिब्रोले उसलाई मार्नेछ ।
And let him suck the poison of serpents, and let the serpent's tongue slay him.
17 महको धारा अर्थात् तरलता, र घिउको आनन्द उसले लिन पाउनेछैन ।
Let him not see the milk of the pastures, nor the supplies of honey and butter.
18 आफ्नो परिश्रमको फल उसले फिर्ता गर्नेछ र त्यो खान सक्नेछैन । आफ्नो व्यापारद्वारा कमाएको सम्पत्तिको आनन्द उसले पाउनेछैन ।
He has laboured unprofitably and in vain, [for] wealth of which he shall not taste: [it is] as a lean thing, unfit for food, which he cannot swallow.
19 किनकि उसले गरिब मानिसहरूलाई अत्याचार र बेवास्ता गरेको छ । आफूले नबनाएका घरहरूलाई उसले जबरजस्ती कब्जा गरेको छ ।
For he has broken down the houses of many mighty men: and he has plundered an habitation, though he built [it] not.
20 ऊ आफैमा सन्तुष्ट नभएको हुनाले, आफूले मजा लिने कुनै कुरा पनि उसले बचाउन सक्नेछैन ।
There is no security to his possessions; he shall not be saved by his desire.
21 उसले नखाएको कुनै कुरो बाँकी छैन । त्यसकारण उसको सम्बृद्धि स्थायी हुनेछैन ।
There is nothing remaining of his provisions; therefore his goods shall not flourish.
22 आफ्नो धनको प्रचुरतामा ऊ सङ्कष्टमा पर्नेछ । गरिबीमा रहेकाहरू हरेकको हात उसको विरुद्धमा आइलाग्नेछ ।
But when he shall seem to be just satisfied, he shall be straitened; and all distress shall come upon him.
23 उसले आफ्नो पेट भर्नै लाग्दा, परमेश्वरले आफ्नो घोर क्रोध उसमा उतार्नुहुन्छ । उसले खाइरहँदा परमेश्वरले उसमाथि त्यो बर्साउनुहुन्छ ।
If by any means he would fill his belly, let [God] send upon him the fury of wrath; let him bring a torrent of pains upon him.
24 त्यो मानिस फलामको हतियारबाट भागे तापनि, काँसको धनुले उसलाई प्रहार गर्नेछ ।
And he shall by no means escape from the power of the sword; let the brazen bow wound him.
25 आफ्नो पिठिउँबाट उसले त्यो तान्नेछ, र चम्कने टुप्पो उसको कलेजोबाट बाहिर निस्कनेछ । उसमा त्रासहरू आउनेछन् ।
And let the arrow pierce through his body; and let the stars be against his dwelling-place: let terrors come upon him.
26 उसको धनको लागि निस्पट्ट अन्धकार साँचिएको छ । प्रचण्ड आगोले उसलाई भस्म पार्नेछ । उसको पालमा छोडिएका सबै कुरालाई त्यसले भष्म पार्नेछ ।
And let all darkness wait for him: a fire that burns not out shall consume him; and let a stranger plague his house.
27 स्वर्गले उसको अधर्म प्रकट गर्नेछ, र साक्षीको रूपमा पृथ्वी नै उसको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ ।
And let the heaven reveal his iniquities, and the earth rise up against him.
28 उसको घरको धन लुप्त हुनेछ । परमेश्वरको क्रोधको दिनमा उसका सामानहरू टाढा बग्नेछन् ।
Let destruction bring his house to an end; let a day of wrath come upon him.
29 परमेश्वरबाट दुष्ट मानिसले पाउने भाग, परमेश्वरले उसको निम्ति साँच्नुभएको पैतृक-अंश यही हो ।
This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of his goods [appointed him] by the all-seeing [God].
