1 तब अय्यूबले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Job replied [to Bildad], saying this [sarcastically]:
2 “शक्ति नभएको मानिसलाई तपाईंले कसरी मदत गर्नुभएको छ! ताकत नभएको पाखुरालाई तपाईंले कसरी बचाउनुभएको छ!
“I am a very weak and helpless man; and (you [certainly] have not helped me [SAR] very much!/[do you think that] you have helped me [SAR] very much?) [RHQ]
3 बुद्धि नभएको मानिसलाई तपाईंले कसरी सल्लाह दिनुभएको छ, र उसलाई उचित ज्ञान सिकाउनुभएको छ!
(You certainly have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all./[Do you think that] you have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all?) [RHQ] ([I’m sure you think that] you have given a lot of very good advice to me. [RHQ]
4 कसको सहायताद्वारा तपाईंले यी वचनहरू बोल्नुभएको छ? तपाईंबाट बाहिर निस्केको आत्मा कसको थियो?
Who helped you to say all those [great/wise] things? Who inspired you to speak like you did?”
5 मरेकाहरू, पानीमुनि भएकाहरू र त्यहाँ बास गर्नेहरू, सबैलाई त्रसित पारिएको छ ।
“[Because] the spirits of dead people [are afraid], [they] tremble in the waters that are deep under the earth.
6 परमेश्‍वरको सामु चिहान उदाङ्गो छ । विनाश आफै पनि उहाँबाट लुक्‍न सक्‍दैन । (Sheol h7585)
God knows all about [those who are in] the place of the dead; there is nothing down there that prevents God from seeing what is there. (Sheol h7585)
7 उत्तरी आकाशलाई उहाँले खुल्‍ला अन्तरिक्षमा तन्‍काउनुहुन्छ, अनि पृथ्वीलाई उहाँले शून्यतामा झुण्ड्याउनुहुन्छ ।
God stretched out the earth over the huge empty space and caused the earth to have nothing [to support it].
8 उहाँले पानीलाई आफ्‍नो बाक्‍लो बादलहरूमाथि जम्मा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर पनि तीमुनिका बादलहरू फाट्दैनन् ।
He fills the thick/dense clouds with water and prevents that water from bursting the clouds.
9 उहाँले चन्द्रमाको सतहलाई ढाक्‍नुहुन्छ, र आफ्ना बादलहरू त्‍यसमाथि फैलाउनुहुन्छ ।
He causes clouds to (obscure/prevent us from seeing) the moon.
10 उज्यालो र अँध्यारोको बिचको सिमाङ्कन गर्न, उहाँले पानीको सतहमा एउटा गोलो सिमारेखा बनाउनुभएको छ ।
He separated the light from the darkness and put the horizon to mark the place where the night ends and the daytime begins.
11 उहाँको हप्कीमा स्वर्गका खम्बाहरू हल्लिन्छन् र छक्‍क पर्छन् ।
When [he is angry, it is as though] he rebukes the pillars that hold up the sky. They are (shocked/very fearful), and they tremble.
12 आफ्नो शक्तिले उहाँले समुद्रलाई शान्त पार्नुभयो । आफ्नो सुझबुझले उहाँले राहाबलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुभयो ।
With his power he calmed the sea; with his skill/wisdom he destroyed Rahab, the huge sea monster.
13 आफ्नो सासले उहाँले आकाशलाई सफा पार्नुभयो । वेगले भाग्‍दै गरेको सर्पलाई उहाँका हातले छेड्नुभयो ।
With his breath he caused the sky to be bright/clear; with his hand he killed the great dragon in the sea.
14 हेर्नुहोस्, यी त उहाँको शक्तिको किनाराहरू मात्र हुन् । हामीले उहाँको बारेमा एउटा मधुर सोर मात्रै सुन्छौँ । उहाँको शक्तिको गर्जनलाई कसले बुझ्न सक्छ र?”
But those events show only a small amount of his power; [it is as though] we are hearing only whispers of his powerful voice. When we hear thunder, [we say, ] ‘(Who can really understand [how great] his power [is]/No one can [really] understand [how great] his power [is]!) [RHQ]’”
