< अय्यूब 27 >

1 अय्यूबले फेरि बोल्न थाले अनि यसो भने,
And Job further continued and said in his parable,
2 “परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएझैं, जसले मेरो न्याय हटाउनुभएको छ, सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ जसले मेरो जीवन तितो बनाउनुभएको छ ।
[As] God lives, who has thus judge me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul;
3 जबसम्‍म मेरो जीवन ममा रहन्‍छ, अनि परमेश्‍वरको सास मेरो नाकमा रहन्‍छ, तबसम्‍म म यही कुरा गर्नेछु ।
verily, while my breath is yet in [me], and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,
4 मेरो ओठले दुष्‍ट कुरा बोल्नेछैन, न त मेरो जिब्रोले छलको कुरा बोल्नेछ ।
my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.
5 तपाईंहरू तिन जनाले ठिक बोल्‍नुहुन्‍छ भनी म कदापि स्वीकार गर्दिन । मेरो मृत्‍यु नभएसम्म म आफ्‍नो निष्ठालाई कदापि इन्कार गर्ने छैनँ ।
Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence,
6 म आफ्‍नो धार्मिकतालाई बलियो गरी समाउँछु, र त्‍यसलाई जान दिन्‍नँ । म बाँचुञ्जेलसम्म मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई निन्‍दित पार्नेछैनन् ।
but keeping fast to [my] righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing amiss.
7 मेरो शत्रु एक जना दुष्‍ट मानिसझैं होस् । जो मेरो विरुद्धमा खडा हुन्‍छ, ऊ एक जना अधर्मी मानिसझैं होस् ।
Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.
8 किनकि परमेश्‍वरले ईश्‍वरहीन मानिसलाई इन्कार गर्नुहुँदा, परमेश्‍वरले उसको जीवनलाई हटाउनुहुँदा, उसको आशा के हुन्छ र?
For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord [and] be saved?
9 उसमाथि सङ्कष्‍ट आइपर्दा, के परमेश्‍वरले उसको पुकारा सुन्‍नुहुन्‍छ र?
Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him,
10 के ऊ सर्वशक्तिमान्‌मा आनन्दित हुन्‍छ, अनि उसले हर समयमा परमेश्‍वरलाई पुकारा गर्छ?
has he any confidence before him? or will [God] hear him as he calls upon him?
11 म तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरको शक्तिको बारेमा सिकाउनेछु । म सर्वशक्तिमान्‌का विचारहरूलाई लुकाउनेछैनँ ।
Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: I will not lie concerning the things which are with the Almighty.
12 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंहरू सबैले यो आफैले देख्‍नुभएको छ । तब तपाईंहरूले यी सबै निरर्थक कुरा किन बोल्नुभएको हो त?
Behold, ye all know that ye are adding vanity to vanity.
13 दुष्‍ट मानिसले परमेश्‍वरबाट पाउने हिस्सा यही हो । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌बाट अत्याचारीले पाउने आफ्‍नो पैतृक-अंश यही हो ।
This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty.
14 उसका छोराछोरीको सङ्‍ख्‍या बढ्‍छन् भने, त्‍यो तरवारको निम्‍तो हो । उसका सन्तानहरूले पेटभरि खान कदापि पाउने छैनन् ।
And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg.
15 ऊसँग बाँच्नेहरू विपत्तिद्वारा गाडिनेछन्, अनि तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।
And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows.
16 दुष्‍ट मानिसले धूलोझैं चाँदीको थुप्रो लगाए पनि, र माटोझैं लुगाफाटा थुपारे पनि,
Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay;
17 उसले ती लुगाफाटा जम्मा त गर्ला, तर धर्मी मानिसहरूले ती लगाउनेछन्, र निर्दोष मानिसहरूले चाँदीचाहिं आफ्‍नो बिचमा बाँड्‍नेछन् ।
All these things shall the righteous gain, and the truehearted shall possess his wealth.
18 माकुरोले झैं, एक जना पहरेदारले बनाउने झुप्रोझैं, उसले आफ्‍नो घर बनाउँछ ।
And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web.
19 ऊ धनी भएर ओछ्यानमा पल्टन्छ, तर उसले त्यसो गरिरहने छैन । उसले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्‍छ, अनि हरेक कुरा सिद्धिएको हुनेछ ।
The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not.
20 पानीले झैं त्रासले उसलाई डुबाउनेछ । रातमा एउटा आँधीले उसलाई टाढा पुर्‍याउनेछ ।
Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night.
21 पूर्वीय बतासले उसलाई उडाएर लानेछ, र उसले छोड्‍नेछ । त्‍यसले उसलाई आफ्नो बासस्थानबाट पुर्‍याउनेछ ।
And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place.
22 उसमाथि त्‍यो हुत्तिन्‍छ, र रोकिन्‍न । त्‍यसको पन्जाबाट ऊ भाग्‍न खोज्‍छ ।
And [God] shall cast [trouble] upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 उसको गिल्‍ला गरेर त्‍यसले आफ्‍नो ताली बजाउँछ । त्यसले आफ्नो ठाउँबाट उसको खिसी गर्छ ।
He shall cause [men] to clap their hands against them, and shall hiss him out of his place.
