< अय्यूब 27 >
1 अय्यूबले फेरि बोल्न थाले अनि यसो भने,
And Job continued his parable and said,
2 “परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएझैं, जसले मेरो न्याय हटाउनुभएको छ, सर्वशक्तिमान् जसले मेरो जीवन तितो बनाउनुभएको छ ।
[As] God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,
3 जबसम्म मेरो जीवन ममा रहन्छ, अनि परमेश्वरको सास मेरो नाकमा रहन्छ, तबसम्म म यही कुरा गर्नेछु ।
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
4 मेरो ओठले दुष्ट कुरा बोल्नेछैन, न त मेरो जिब्रोले छलको कुरा बोल्नेछ ।
My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
5 तपाईंहरू तिन जनाले ठिक बोल्नुहुन्छ भनी म कदापि स्वीकार गर्दिन । मेरो मृत्यु नभएसम्म म आफ्नो निष्ठालाई कदापि इन्कार गर्ने छैनँ ।
Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.
6 म आफ्नो धार्मिकतालाई बलियो गरी समाउँछु, र त्यसलाई जान दिन्नँ । म बाँचुञ्जेलसम्म मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई निन्दित पार्नेछैनन् ।
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days.
7 मेरो शत्रु एक जना दुष्ट मानिसझैं होस् । जो मेरो विरुद्धमा खडा हुन्छ, ऊ एक जना अधर्मी मानिसझैं होस् ।
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8 किनकि परमेश्वरले ईश्वरहीन मानिसलाई इन्कार गर्नुहुँदा, परमेश्वरले उसको जीवनलाई हटाउनुहुँदा, उसको आशा के हुन्छ र?
For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, when God taketh away his soul?
9 उसमाथि सङ्कष्ट आइपर्दा, के परमेश्वरले उसको पुकारा सुन्नुहुन्छ र?
Will God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?
10 के ऊ सर्वशक्तिमान्मा आनन्दित हुन्छ, अनि उसले हर समयमा परमेश्वरलाई पुकारा गर्छ?
Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon God?
11 म तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्वरको शक्तिको बारेमा सिकाउनेछु । म सर्वशक्तिमान्का विचारहरूलाई लुकाउनेछैनँ ।
I will teach you concerning the hand of God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंहरू सबैले यो आफैले देख्नुभएको छ । तब तपाईंहरूले यी सबै निरर्थक कुरा किन बोल्नुभएको हो त?
Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain?
13 दुष्ट मानिसले परमेश्वरबाट पाउने हिस्सा यही हो । सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट अत्याचारीले पाउने आफ्नो पैतृक-अंश यही हो ।
This is the portion of the wicked man with God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: —
14 उसका छोराछोरीको सङ्ख्या बढ्छन् भने, त्यो तरवारको निम्तो हो । उसका सन्तानहरूले पेटभरि खान कदापि पाउने छैनन् ।
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread;
15 ऊसँग बाँच्नेहरू विपत्तिद्वारा गाडिनेछन्, अनि तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।
Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.
16 दुष्ट मानिसले धूलोझैं चाँदीको थुप्रो लगाए पनि, र माटोझैं लुगाफाटा थुपारे पनि,
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
17 उसले ती लुगाफाटा जम्मा त गर्ला, तर धर्मी मानिसहरूले ती लगाउनेछन्, र निर्दोष मानिसहरूले चाँदीचाहिं आफ्नो बिचमा बाँड्नेछन् ।
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 माकुरोले झैं, एक जना पहरेदारले बनाउने झुप्रोझैं, उसले आफ्नो घर बनाउँछ ।
He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.
19 ऊ धनी भएर ओछ्यानमा पल्टन्छ, तर उसले त्यसो गरिरहने छैन । उसले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्छ, अनि हरेक कुरा सिद्धिएको हुनेछ ।
He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 पानीले झैं त्रासले उसलाई डुबाउनेछ । रातमा एउटा आँधीले उसलाई टाढा पुर्याउनेछ ।
Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.
21 पूर्वीय बतासले उसलाई उडाएर लानेछ, र उसले छोड्नेछ । त्यसले उसलाई आफ्नो बासस्थानबाट पुर्याउनेछ ।
The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.
22 उसमाथि त्यो हुत्तिन्छ, र रोकिन्न । त्यसको पन्जाबाट ऊ भाग्न खोज्छ ।
And [God] shall cast 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 ।
[Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
