< अय्यूब 27 >
1 अय्यूबले फेरि बोल्न थाले अनि यसो भने,
Job continued his discourse:
2 “परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएझैं, जसले मेरो न्याय हटाउनुभएको छ, सर्वशक्तिमान् जसले मेरो जीवन तितो बनाउनुभएको छ ।
“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
3 जबसम्म मेरो जीवन ममा रहन्छ, अनि परमेश्वरको सास मेरो नाकमा रहन्छ, तबसम्म म यही कुरा गर्नेछु ।
as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4 मेरो ओठले दुष्ट कुरा बोल्नेछैन, न त मेरो जिब्रोले छलको कुरा बोल्नेछ ।
my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
5 तपाईंहरू तिन जनाले ठिक बोल्नुहुन्छ भनी म कदापि स्वीकार गर्दिन । मेरो मृत्यु नभएसम्म म आफ्नो निष्ठालाई कदापि इन्कार गर्ने छैनँ ।
I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
6 म आफ्नो धार्मिकतालाई बलियो गरी समाउँछु, र त्यसलाई जान दिन्नँ । म बाँचुञ्जेलसम्म मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई निन्दित पार्नेछैनन् ।
I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
7 मेरो शत्रु एक जना दुष्ट मानिसझैं होस् । जो मेरो विरुद्धमा खडा हुन्छ, ऊ एक जना अधर्मी मानिसझैं होस् ।
May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
8 किनकि परमेश्वरले ईश्वरहीन मानिसलाई इन्कार गर्नुहुँदा, परमेश्वरले उसको जीवनलाई हटाउनुहुँदा, उसको आशा के हुन्छ र?
For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9 उसमाथि सङ्कष्ट आइपर्दा, के परमेश्वरले उसको पुकारा सुन्नुहुन्छ र?
Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10 के ऊ सर्वशक्तिमान्मा आनन्दित हुन्छ, अनि उसले हर समयमा परमेश्वरलाई पुकारा गर्छ?
Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
11 म तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्वरको शक्तिको बारेमा सिकाउनेछु । म सर्वशक्तिमान्का विचारहरूलाई लुकाउनेछैनँ ।
I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
12 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंहरू सबैले यो आफैले देख्नुभएको छ । तब तपाईंहरूले यी सबै निरर्थक कुरा किन बोल्नुभएको हो त?
Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
13 दुष्ट मानिसले परमेश्वरबाट पाउने हिस्सा यही हो । सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट अत्याचारीले पाउने आफ्नो पैतृक-अंश यही हो ।
This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14 उसका छोराछोरीको सङ्ख्या बढ्छन् भने, त्यो तरवारको निम्तो हो । उसका सन्तानहरूले पेटभरि खान कदापि पाउने छैनन् ।
Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
15 ऊसँग बाँच्नेहरू विपत्तिद्वारा गाडिनेछन्, अनि तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।
His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
16 दुष्ट मानिसले धूलोझैं चाँदीको थुप्रो लगाए पनि, र माटोझैं लुगाफाटा थुपारे पनि,
Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
17 उसले ती लुगाफाटा जम्मा त गर्ला, तर धर्मी मानिसहरूले ती लगाउनेछन्, र निर्दोष मानिसहरूले चाँदीचाहिं आफ्नो बिचमा बाँड्नेछन् ।
what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
18 माकुरोले झैं, एक जना पहरेदारले बनाउने झुप्रोझैं, उसले आफ्नो घर बनाउँछ ।
The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
19 ऊ धनी भएर ओछ्यानमा पल्टन्छ, तर उसले त्यसो गरिरहने छैन । उसले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्छ, अनि हरेक कुरा सिद्धिएको हुनेछ ।
He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20 पानीले झैं त्रासले उसलाई डुबाउनेछ । रातमा एउटा आँधीले उसलाई टाढा पुर्याउनेछ ।
Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
21 पूर्वीय बतासले उसलाई उडाएर लानेछ, र उसले छोड्नेछ । त्यसले उसलाई आफ्नो बासस्थानबाट पुर्याउनेछ ।
The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
22 उसमाथि त्यो हुत्तिन्छ, र रोकिन्न । त्यसको पन्जाबाट ऊ भाग्न खोज्छ ।
It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
23 उसको गिल्ला गरेर त्यसले आफ्नो ताली बजाउँछ । त्यसले आफ्नो ठाउँबाट उसको खिसी गर्छ ।
It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
