अय्यूब 21
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
And Job answereth and saith: —
2 “मेरा वचनलाई ध्यान दिएर सुन्नुहोस्, र यो तपाईंहरूले मलाई दिने सान्त्वना होस् ।
Hear ye diligently my word, And this is your consolation.
3 मलाई सुन्नुहोस्, र म पनि बोल्नेछु । मैले बोलेर सकेपछि निरन्तर गिल्ला गर्नुहोस् ।
Bear with me, and I speak, And after my speaking — ye may deride.
4 मेरो बारेमा, के मैले मानिसलाई गुनासो गरेको हो र? म किन अधैर्य नहुनू?
I — to man [is] my complaint? and if [so], wherefore May not my temper become short?
5 मलाई हेर्नुहोस् र छक्क पर्नुहोस्, र आफ्नो हातले आफ्नो मुख छुनुहोस् ।
Turn unto me, and be astonished, And put hand to mouth.
6 मैले आफ्नो दुःखको बारेमा सोच्दा म त्रसित हुन्छु, र थरथरीले मेरो शरीरलाई नै समाउँछ ।
Yea, if I have remembered, then I have been troubled. And my flesh hath taken fright.
7 दुष्ट मानिसहरू किन निरन्तर बाँच्छन्, बुढा हुन्छन् र सामर्थ्यमा शक्तिशाली हुन्छन्?
Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea, they have been mighty in wealth.
8 तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू तिनीहरूकै आँखाको सामु स्थापित हुन्छन्, र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी तिनीहरूकै आँखाको सामु स्थापित हुन्छन् ।
Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And their offspring before their eyes.
9 तिनीहरूका घरहरू डरबाट सुरक्षित हुन्छन् । न त परमेश्वरको छडी नै तिनीहरूमाथि परेको हुन्छ ।
Their houses [are] peace without fear, Nor [is] a rod of God upon them.
10 तिनीहरूका बहर मिसिन्छन् । त्यसो गर्न चुक्दैनन् । तिनीहरूको गाई बियाउँछ, र तुहिंदैन ।
His bullock hath eaten corn, and doth not loath. His cow bringeth forth safely, And doth not miscarry.
11 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना केटाकेटीलाई बगालझैं बाहिर पठाउँछन्, र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी नाच्छन् ।
They send forth as a flock their sucklings, And their children skip,
12 तिनीहरूले खैँजडी र वीणाको धुनमा गाउँछन्, र बाँसुरीको सङ्गीतमा रमाउँछन् ।
They lift [themselves] up at timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of an organ.
They wear out in good their days, And in a moment [to] Sheol go down. (Sheol h7585)
14 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई भन्छन्, 'हामीबाट जानुहोस्, किनकि तपाईंका मार्गहरूका कुनै ज्ञान हामी चाहँदैनौं ।
And they say to God, 'Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.
15 सर्वशक्तिमान् को हो र हामीले उहाँको आराधना गर्नू? हामीले उहाँमा प्रार्थना चढायौं भने हामीले के लाभ पाउँछौं र?'
What [is] the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'
16 हेर्नुहोस्, तिनीहरूको समृद्धि तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हातमा छैन र? दुष्ट मानिसहरूको सल्लाहमा मेरो कुनै सरोकार छैन ।
Lo, not in their hand [is] their good, (The counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
17 कतिपल्ट दुष्ट मानिसहरूको बत्ती निभाइन्छ, अथवा तिनीहरूका विपत्ति तिनीहरूमाथि नै आउँछ? परमेश्वरले आफ्नो क्रोधमा तिनीहरूलाई कतिपल्ट दुःख पठाउनुहुन्छ?
How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.
18 कतिपल्ट बतासको सामु तिनीहरू सुकेका झारपात, अथवा आँधीले उडाएर लैजाने भुसझैं भएका छन्?
They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane hath stolen away,
19 तपाईंहरू भन्नुहुन्छ, 'मानिसको दोषको दण्ड परमेश्वरले उसका छोराछोरीलाई दिनुहुन्छ ।' त्यो उसैले भोग्नुपरोस्, जसले गर्दा उसले आफ्नो दोष थाहा पाओस् ।
God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth recompense unto him — and he knoweth.
20 उसका आँखाले उसको आफ्नो विनाश देखून्, र सर्वशक्तिमान्को क्रोध उसले पिउनुपरोस् ।
His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the Mighty he drinketh.
21 किनकि उसको आफ्नै आयु सकिएपछि, उसले आफ्नो परिवारको के वास्ता गर्छ र?
For what [is] his delight in his house after him, And the number of his months cut off?
22 परमेश्वरले त उच्चमा हुनेहरूको पनि न्याय गर्नुहुन्छ, तब के कसैले उहाँलाई ज्ञान सिकाउन सक्छ र?
To God doth [one] teach knowledge, And He the high doth judge?
23 एक जना मानिस पूरा बलियो अवस्थामा, बिलकुल शान्ति र चैनमा मर्छ ।
This [one] dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease and quiet.
24 उसको शरीर ह्रष्टपुष्ट हुन्छ, र उसको हड्डीहरूको मासी ताजा हुन्छ ।
His breasts have been full of milk, And marrow his bones doth moisten.
25 अर्को मानिस मनको तिक्ततामा नै मर्छ, जसले कुनै असल कुराको अनुभव कदापि गरेको छैन ।
And this [one] dieth with a bitter soul, And have not eaten with gladness.
26 तिनीहरू समान रूपमा धूलोमा पल्टिन्छन् । तिनीहरू दुवैलाई किराहरूले ढाक्छन् ।
Together — on the dust they lie down, And the worm doth cover them over.
27 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंहरूका विचार, अनि मेरो कुभलो गर्ने तपाईंहरूका मार्गहरू म जान्दछु ।
Lo, I have known your thoughts, And the devices against me ye do wrongfully.
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 noble? And where the tent — The tabernacles of the wicked?'
29 यात्रा गर्ने मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंहरूले कहिल्यै सोध्नुभएको छैन? तिनीहरूले भन्ने प्रमाण तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा छैन,
Have ye not asked those passing by the way? And their signs do ye not know?
30 कि दुष्ट मानिस विपत्तिको दिनमा जोगिन्छ, र क्रोधको दिनमा उसलाई कतै सारेर जोगाइन्छ?
That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.
31 दुष्ट मानिसको सामु उसको मार्गलाई कसले दोषी ठहराउँछ र? उसको गरेको कामको बदला कसले लिन सक्छ र?
Who doth declare to his face his way? And [for] that which he hath done, Who doth give recompence to him?
32 तापनि उसलाई चिहानमा लगिनेछ । मानिसहरूले उसको चिहानको रेखदेख गर्नेछन् ।
And he — to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a watch is kept.
33 मैदानको माटोका डल्ला उसलाई गुलियो हुनेछ । अनगिन्ती मानिस उसको अगि-अगि हुनाले, सबै मानिस उसको पछिपछि जानेछन् ।
Sweet to him have been the clods of the valley, And after him every man he draweth, And before him there is no numbering.
34 तपाईंहरूका व्यर्थका कुराले मलाई कसरी सान्त्वना दिन्छ, किनकि तपाईंहरूको जवाफमा झुटबाहेक केही छैन?”
And how do ye comfort me [with] vanity, And in your answers hath been left trespass?
