< अय्यूब 24 >
1 दुष्ट मानिसहरूको न्याय गर्ने समय सर्वशक्तिमान्ले किन तोक्नुभएको छैन? परमेश्वरप्रति विश्वासयोग्य हुनेहरूले उहाँको न्यायको दिन आएको किन देखेका छैनन्?
But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord,
2 यस्ता दुष्ट मानिसहरू पनि छन् जसले साँध-सिमानाका निसानाहरू हटाउँछन् । यस्ता दुष्ट मानिसहरू पनि छन् जसले बगालहरूलाई जबरजस्ती लैजान्छन् र तिनलाई आफ्नै खर्कहरूमा राख्छन् ।
while the ungodly have passed over the bound, carrying off the flock with the shepherd?
3 अनाथहरूका गधाहरूलाई तिनीहरूले जबरजस्ती लैजान्छन् । विधवाको गोरुलाई तिनीहरूले बन्धकका रूपमा लैजान्छन् ।
They have led away, the ass of the fatherless, and taken the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 दरिद्र मानिसहरूका उनीहरूका मार्गबाट तिनीहरूले जबरजस्ती हटाउँछन् । पृथ्वीका सबै गरिब मानिसहरू तिनीहरूबाट आफूलाई लुकाउँछन्।
They have turned aside the weak from the right way: and the meek of the earth have hidden themselves together.
5 हेर्नुहोस्, उजाड-स्थानका वन-गधाहरूझैं, यी गरिब मानिसहरू होसियारी भएर खानेकुरा खोज्दै आफ्नो काममा जान्छन् । सायद अराबाले तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई खानेकुरा जुटाउनेछ ।
And they have departed like asses in the field, having gone forth on my account according to their own order: his bread is sweet to [his] little ones.
6 गरिब मानिसहरूले अरूका खेतबारीमा रातमा कटनी गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्टहरूका फसलबाट टिप्न छुटेका दाख बटुल्छन् ।
They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: the poor have laboured in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food.
7 तिनीहरू रातभरि लुगाबिना नाङ्गै बस्छन् । जाडोमा ढाक्नलाई तिनीहरूसित केही हुँदैन ।
They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes, and they have taken away the covering of their body.
8 तिनीहरू पहाडका झरीले भिजेका छन् । तिनीहरूका बासस्थान नभएको हुनाले तिनीहरू ठुला ढुङ्गाको छेउमा पल्टिन्छन् ।
They are wet with the drops of the mountains: they have embraced the rock, because they had no shelter.
9 यस्ता दुष्ट मानिसहरू छन् जसले अनाथहरूलाई आफ्ना आमाको कोखबाट खोसेर लैजान्छन्, र गरिब मानिसहरूका बालबालिका बन्धकको रूपमा लैजान्छन् ।
They have snatched the fatherless from the breast, and have afflicted the outcast.
10 तर गरिब मानिसहरू लुगाविना नाङ्गै जान्छन् । तिनीहरू आफै भोकाएको भए पनि, तिनीहरूले अरूका अन्नका बिटाहरू बोक्छन् ।
And they have wrongfully caused [others] to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry.
11 गरिब मानिसहरूले ती दुष्टहरूका पर्खालभित्र तेल पेल्छन् । तिनीहरूले दुष्ट मानिसहरूका दाखको कोल पेल्छन्, तर तिनीहरू आफै तिर्खाउँछन् ।
They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, and have not known the righteous way.
12 सहरबाट मर्न लागेको मानिसको क्रन्दन निस्कन्छ, अनि घाइतेको गलाले मदतको लागि चिच्च्याउँछ । तर परमेश्वरले दोष लगाउनुहुन्न ।
Who have cast forth [the] poor from the city and their own houses, and the soul of the children has groaned aloud.
13 केही दुष्ट मानिसहरूले ज्योतिको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्छन् । तिनीहरूले यसका मार्गहरू जान्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरू यसका मार्गहरूमा बस्छन् ।
Why then has he not visited these? forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, and they knew not the way of righteousness, neither have they walked in their [appointed] paths?
14 उज्यालो हुनुअगि हत्यारा उठ्छ, र त्यसले गरिब तथा दरिद्र मानिसहरूलाई मार्छ । रातमा ऊ चोरजस्तो हुन्छ ।
But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: and in the night one will be as a thief:
15 साथै, व्यभिचारीका आँखाले साँझलाई पर्खेर बस्छ । उसले भन्छ, 'कुनै आँखाले मलाई देख्नेछैन ।' उसले आफ्नो भेष बद्लन्छ ।
and the eye of the adulterer has watched [for] the darkness, saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on his face.
16 अन्धकारमा दुष्टहरू घर फोरेर भित्र पस्छन्, तर दिउँसोको समयमा तिनीहरू लुक्छन् । तिनीहरूले उज्यालोको वास्ता गर्दैनन् ।
In darkness he digs through houses: by day they conceal themselves securely: they know not the light.
17 तिनीहरू सबैका लागि निस्पट्ट अँध्यारो बिहानझैं हुन्छ । किनभने तिनीहरू निस्पट्ट अँध्यारोका त्रासहरूका मित्र हुन् ।
For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death, for [each] will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death.
18 तापनि पानीको सतहमा देखा पर्ने फिँजझैं तिनीहरू चाँडै नै बितेर जान्छन् । तिनीहरूको खेतको हिस्सा श्रापित छ । तिनीहरूका दाखबारीहरूमा काम गर्न कोही पनि जाँदैन ।
He is swift on the face of the water: let his portion be cursed on the earth; and let their plants be laid bare.
19 जसरी खडेरी र तापले हिउँलाई पगालेर पानी बानउँछ, त्यसरी नै पाप गरेकाहरूलाई चिहानले लैजान्छ । (Sheol )
[Let them be] withered upon the earth; for they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless. (Sheol )
20 उसलाई जन्माउने गर्भले उसलाई बिर्सिनेछ । किराले त्यसलाई मिठो मानेर खानेछ । फेरि उसको सम्झना गरिनेछैन । यसरी एउटा रुखलाई झैं दुष्टतालाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिनेछ ।
Then is his sin brought to remembrance, and he vanishes like a vapor of dew: but let what he has done be recompensed to him, and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood.
21 बच्चा नजन्माएकी बाँझी स्त्रीलाई दुष्टले निलिहाल्छ । उसले विधवाको निम्ति कुनै असल कुरा गर्दैन ।
For he has not treated the barren woman well, and has had no pity on a feeble woman.
22 तापनि परमेश्वरले शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले घिसार्नुहुन्छ । उहाँ खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तर जीवनमा तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुहुन्न ।
And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: therefore when he has arisen, [a man] will not feel secure of his own life.
23 तिनीहरू सुरक्षित छन्, र तिनीहरू यसबारे खुसी छन् भनी परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सोच्न दिनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँका आँखा तिनीहरूका मार्गमा हुन्छन् ।
When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease.
24 यी मानिसहरू उच्च पारिएका छन् । तापनि क्षणभरमै तिनीहरू खतम हुनेछन् । वास्तवमा, तिनीहरूलाई निम्न स्तरमा पर्याइनेछ । अरू सबैलाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई पनि जम्मा गरिनेछ । अन्नको बालाझैं तिनीहरूलाई काटिनेछ ।
For his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.
25 यस्तो होइन भने, कसले मलाई झुटा प्रमाणित गर्न सक्छ? कसले मेरो वचनलाई निरर्थक बनाउन सक्छ?
But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, and will make my words of no account?
