< अय्यूब 26 >
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Job answered, and said,
2 “शक्ति नभएको मानिसलाई तपाईंले कसरी मदत गर्नुभएको छ! ताकत नभएको पाखुरालाई तपाईंले कसरी बचाउनुभएको छ!
How thou have helped him who is without power! How thou have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 बुद्धि नभएको मानिसलाई तपाईंले कसरी सल्लाह दिनुभएको छ, र उसलाई उचित ज्ञान सिकाउनुभएको छ!
How thou have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 कसको सहायताद्वारा तपाईंले यी वचनहरू बोल्नुभएको छ? तपाईंबाट बाहिर निस्केको आत्मा कसको थियो?
To whom have thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 मरेकाहरू, पानीमुनि भएकाहरू र त्यहाँ बास गर्नेहरू, सबैलाई त्रसित पारिएको छ ।
Those who are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants of it.
6 परमेश्वरको सामु चिहान उदाङ्गो छ । विनाश आफै पनि उहाँबाट लुक्न सक्दैन । (Sheol )
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol )
7 उत्तरी आकाशलाई उहाँले खुल्ला अन्तरिक्षमा तन्काउनुहुन्छ, अनि पृथ्वीलाई उहाँले शून्यतामा झुण्ड्याउनुहुन्छ ।
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 उहाँले पानीलाई आफ्नो बाक्लो बादलहरूमाथि जम्मा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर पनि तीमुनिका बादलहरू फाट्दैनन् ।
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 उहाँले चन्द्रमाको सतहलाई ढाक्नुहुन्छ, र आफ्ना बादलहरू त्यसमाथि फैलाउनुहुन्छ ।
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
10 उज्यालो र अँध्यारोको बिचको सिमाङ्कन गर्न, उहाँले पानीको सतहमा एउटा गोलो सिमारेखा बनाउनुभएको छ ।
He has described a boundary upon the face of the waters, to the confines of light and darkness.
11 उहाँको हप्कीमा स्वर्गका खम्बाहरू हल्लिन्छन् र छक्क पर्छन् ।
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 आफ्नो शक्तिले उहाँले समुद्रलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो । आफ्नो सुझबुझले उहाँले राहाबलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुभयो ।
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through Rahab.
13 आफ्नो सासले उहाँले आकाशलाई सफा पार्नुभयो । वेगले भाग्दै गरेको सर्पलाई उहाँका हातले छेड्नुभयो ।
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 हेर्नुहोस्, यी त उहाँको शक्तिको किनाराहरू मात्र हुन् । हामीले उहाँको बारेमा एउटा मधुर सोर मात्रै सुन्छौँ । उहाँको शक्तिको गर्जनलाई कसले बुझ्न सक्छ र?”
Lo, these are but the periphery of his ways. And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
