अय्यूब 21
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Job answered, and said,
2 “मेरा वचनलाई ध्यान दिएर सुन्नुहोस्, र यो तपाईंहरूले मलाई दिने सान्त्वना होस् ।
Hear diligently my speech, And let this be your consolations.
3 मलाई सुन्नुहोस्, र म पनि बोल्नेछु । मैले बोलेर सकेपछि निरन्तर गिल्ला गर्नुहोस् ।
Allow me, and I also will speak, and after I have spoken, mock on.
4 मेरो बारेमा, के मैले मानिसलाई गुनासो गरेको हो र? म किन अधैर्य नहुनू?
As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?
5 मलाई हेर्नुहोस् र छक्क पर्नुहोस्, र आफ्नो हातले आफ्नो मुख छुनुहोस् ।
Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
6 मैले आफ्नो दुःखको बारेमा सोच्दा म त्रसित हुन्छु, र थरथरीले मेरो शरीरलाई नै समाउँछ ।
Even when I remember, I am troubled, and horror takes hold on my flesh.
7 दुष्ट मानिसहरू किन निरन्तर बाँच्छन्, बुढा हुन्छन् र सामर्थ्यमा शक्तिशाली हुन्छन्?
Why do the wicked live, become old, yea, grow mighty in power?
8 तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू तिनीहरूकै आँखाको सामु स्थापित हुन्छन्, र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी तिनीहरूकै आँखाको सामु स्थापित हुन्छन् ।
Their seed is established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes.
9 तिनीहरूका घरहरू डरबाट सुरक्षित हुन्छन् । न त परमेश्वरको छडी नै तिनीहरूमाथि परेको हुन्छ ।
Their houses are safe from fear, nor is the rod of God upon them.
10 तिनीहरूका बहर मिसिन्छन् । त्यसो गर्न चुक्दैनन् । तिनीहरूको गाई बियाउँछ, र तुहिंदैन ।
Their bull breeds, and does not fail. Their cow brings forth safely, and does not miscarry.
11 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना केटाकेटीलाई बगालझैं बाहिर पठाउँछन्, र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी नाच्छन् ।
They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
12 तिनीहरूले खैँजडी र वीणाको धुनमा गाउँछन्, र बाँसुरीको सङ्गीतमा रमाउँछन् ।
They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment they go down to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई भन्छन्, 'हामीबाट जानुहोस्, किनकि तपाईंका मार्गहरूका कुनै ज्ञान हामी चाहँदैनौं ।
And they say to God, Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of thy ways.
15 सर्वशक्तिमान् को हो र हामीले उहाँको आराधना गर्नू? हामीले उहाँमा प्रार्थना चढायौं भने हामीले के लाभ पाउँछौं र?'
What is the Almighty that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray to him?
16 हेर्नुहोस्, तिनीहरूको समृद्धि तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हातमा छैन र? दुष्ट मानिसहरूको सल्लाहमा मेरो कुनै सरोकार छैन ।
Lo, is their prosperity not in their hand. (The counsel of the wicked is far from me.)
17 कतिपल्ट दुष्ट मानिसहरूको बत्ती निभाइन्छ, अथवा तिनीहरूका विपत्ति तिनीहरूमाथि नै आउँछ? परमेश्वरले आफ्नो क्रोधमा तिनीहरूलाई कतिपल्ट दुःख पठाउनुहुन्छ?
How often is it that the lamp of the profane is put out, that their calamity comes upon them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger,
18 कतिपल्ट बतासको सामु तिनीहरू सुकेका झारपात, अथवा आँधीले उडाएर लैजाने भुसझैं भएका छन्?
that they are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carries away?
19 तपाईंहरू भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मानिसको दोषको दण्ड परमेश्वरले उसका छोराछोरीलाई दिनुहुन्छ ।' त्यो उसैले भोग्नुपरोस्, जसले गर्दा उसले आफ्नो दोष थाहा पाओस् ।
Ye say, God lays up his iniquity for his sons. Let him recompense it to himself that he may know it.
20 उसका आँखाले उसको आफ्नो विनाश देखून्, र सर्वशक्तिमान्को क्रोध उसले पिउनुपरोस् ।
Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 किनकि उसको आफ्नै आयु सकिएपछि, उसले आफ्नो परिवारको के वास्ता गर्छ र?
For what does he care for his house after him when the number of his months is cut off?
22 परमेश्वरले त उच्चमा हुनेहरूको पनि न्याय गर्नुहुन्छ, तब के कसैले उहाँलाई ज्ञान सिकाउन सक्छ र?
Shall any teach God knowledge, seeing he judges those who are high?
23 एक जना मानिस पूरा बलियो अवस्थामा, बिलकुल शान्ति र चैनमा मर्छ ।
One man dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24 उसको शरीर ह्रष्टपुष्ट हुन्छ, र उसको हड्डीहरूको मासी ताजा हुन्छ ।
His pails are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moistened.
25 अर्को मानिस मनको तिक्ततामा नै मर्छ, जसले कुनै असल कुराको अनुभव कदापि गरेको छैन ।
And another man dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.
26 तिनीहरू समान रूपमा धूलोमा पल्टिन्छन् । तिनीहरू दुवैलाई किराहरूले ढाक्छन् ।
They lie down alike in the dust, and the worm covers them.
27 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंहरूका विचार, अनि मेरो कुभलो गर्ने तपाईंहरूका मार्गहरू म जान्दछु ।
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices with which ye would wrong me.
28 किनकि तपाईंहरू भन्नुहुन्छ, 'अहिले त्यो राजकुमारको घर कहाँ छ? दुष्ट मानिस कुनै समयमा बस्ने गरेको पाल कहाँ छ?'
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent in which the wicked dwelt?
29 यात्रा गर्ने मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंहरूले कहिल्यै सोध्नुभएको छैन? तिनीहरूले भन्ने प्रमाण तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा छैन,
Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,
30 कि दुष्ट मानिस विपत्तिको दिनमा जोगिन्छ, र क्रोधको दिनमा उसलाई कतै सारेर जोगाइन्छ?
that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?
31 दुष्ट मानिसको सामु उसको मार्गलाई कसले दोषी ठहराउँछ र? उसको गरेको कामको बदला कसले लिन सक्छ र?
Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he has done?
32 तापनि उसलाई चिहानमा लगिनेछ । मानिसहरूले उसको चिहानको रेखदेख गर्नेछन् ।
Yet he shall be borne to the grave, and men shall keep watch over the tomb.
33 मैदानको माटोका डल्ला उसलाई गुलियो हुनेछ । अनगिन्ती मानिस उसको अगि-अगि हुनाले, सबै मानिस उसको पछिपछि जानेछन् ।
The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him. And all men shall draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
34 तपाईंहरूका व्यर्थका कुराले मलाई कसरी सान्त्वना दिन्छ, किनकि तपाईंहरूको जवाफमा झुटबाहेक केही छैन?”
How then ye comfort me in vain, seeing in your answers there remains falsehood?
