< अय्यूब 27 >

1 अय्यूबले फेरि बोल्न थाले अनि यसो भने,
And Job again took up 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 dealt bitterly with me;
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 ।
Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall 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 ।
Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not put away mine integrity 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 shall not reproach me so long as I live.
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 let him that riseth up against me be 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 godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?
9 उसमाथि सङ्कष्‍ट आइपर्दा, के परमेश्‍वरले उसको पुकारा सुन्‍नुहुन्‍छ र?
Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?
10 के ऊ सर्वशक्तिमान्‌मा आनन्दित हुन्‍छ, अनि उसले हर समयमा परमेश्‍वरलाई पुकारा गर्छ?
Will he have his delight in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
11 म तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरको शक्तिको बारेमा सिकाउनेछु । म सर्वशक्तिमान्‌का विचारहरूलाई लुकाउनेछैनँ ।
I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which 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, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?
13 दुष्‍ट मानिसले परमेश्‍वरबाट पाउने हिस्सा यही हो । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌बाट अत्याचारीले पाउने आफ्‍नो पैतृक-अंश यही हो ।
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, 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 have bread enough.
15 ऊसँग बाँच्नेहरू विपत्तिद्वारा गाडिनेछन्, अनि तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।
Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, and his widows shall make no lamentation.
16 दुष्‍ट मानिसले धूलोझैं चाँदीको थुप्रो लगाए पनि, र माटोझैं लुगाफाटा थुपारे पनि,
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment 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 a moth, and as a booth which the 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 there shall be not to gather; he openeth his eyes, and his wealth is not.
20 पानीले झैं त्रासले उसलाई डुबाउनेछ । रातमा एउटा आँधीले उसलाई टाढा पुर्‍याउनेछ ।
Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest 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 departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.
22 उसमाथि त्‍यो हुत्तिन्‍छ, र रोकिन्‍न । त्‍यसको पन्जाबाट ऊ भाग्‍न खोज्‍छ ।
Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; he would fain flee from its power.
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.
