< अय्यूब 26 >
1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
But Job answered and said,
2 “शक्ति नभएको मानिसलाई तपाईंले कसरी मदत गर्नुभएको छ! ताकत नभएको पाखुरालाई तपाईंले कसरी बचाउनुभएको छ!
To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
3 बुद्धि नभएको मानिसलाई तपाईंले कसरी सल्लाह दिनुभएको छ, र उसलाई उचित ज्ञान सिकाउनुभएको छ!
To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
4 कसको सहायताद्वारा तपाईंले यी वचनहरू बोल्नुभएको छ? तपाईंबाट बाहिर निस्केको आत्मा कसको थियो?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?
5 मरेकाहरू, पानीमुनि भएकाहरू र त्यहाँ बास गर्नेहरू, सबैलाई त्रसित पारिएको छ ।
Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
6 परमेश्वरको सामु चिहान उदाङ्गो छ । विनाश आफै पनि उहाँबाट लुक्न सक्दैन । (Sheol )
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol )
7 उत्तरी आकाशलाई उहाँले खुल्ला अन्तरिक्षमा तन्काउनुहुन्छ, अनि पृथ्वीलाई उहाँले शून्यतामा झुण्ड्याउनुहुन्छ ।
He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
8 उहाँले पानीलाई आफ्नो बाक्लो बादलहरूमाथि जम्मा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर पनि तीमुनिका बादलहरू फाट्दैनन् ।
binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not rent under it.
9 उहाँले चन्द्रमाको सतहलाई ढाक्नुहुन्छ, र आफ्ना बादलहरू त्यसमाथि फैलाउनुहुन्छ ।
He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
10 उज्यालो र अँध्यारोको बिचको सिमाङ्कन गर्न, उहाँले पानीको सतहमा एउटा गोलो सिमारेखा बनाउनुभएको छ ।
He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
11 उहाँको हप्कीमा स्वर्गका खम्बाहरू हल्लिन्छन् र छक्क पर्छन् ।
The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
12 आफ्नो शक्तिले उहाँले समुद्रलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो । आफ्नो सुझबुझले उहाँले राहाबलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुभयो ।
He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
13 आफ्नो सासले उहाँले आकाशलाई सफा पार्नुभयो । वेगले भाग्दै गरेको सर्पलाई उहाँका हातले छेड्नुभयो ।
And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
14 हेर्नुहोस्, यी त उहाँको शक्तिको किनाराहरू मात्र हुन् । हामीले उहाँको बारेमा एउटा मधुर सोर मात्रै सुन्छौँ । उहाँको शक्तिको गर्जनलाई कसले बुझ्न सक्छ र?”
Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will hearken to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
