< अय्यूब 27 >

1 अय्यूबले फेरि बोल्न थाले अनि यसो भने,
Job replied again [to his three friends],
2 “परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुभएझैं, जसले मेरो न्याय हटाउनुभएको छ, सर्वशक्तिमान्‌ जसले मेरो जीवन तितो बनाउनुभएको छ ।
“Almighty God has refused to treat me justly/fairly. He has caused me to feel bitter/resentful. But [just as surely] as he lives,
3 जबसम्‍म मेरो जीवन ममा रहन्‍छ, अनि परमेश्‍वरको सास मेरो नाकमा रहन्‍छ, तबसम्‍म म यही कुरा गर्नेछु ।
as long as God’s Spirit enables me to breathe,
4 मेरो ओठले दुष्‍ट कुरा बोल्नेछैन, न त मेरो जिब्रोले छलको कुरा बोल्नेछ ।
I will not lie; I [SYN] will not say anything to deceive anyone.
5 तपाईंहरू तिन जनाले ठिक बोल्‍नुहुन्‍छ भनी म कदापि स्वीकार गर्दिन । मेरो मृत्‍यु नभएसम्म म आफ्‍नो निष्ठालाई कदापि इन्कार गर्ने छैनँ ।
I will never admit that what you [three] have said is true; until the day that I die, I will insist that I have not done things that are wrong.
6 म आफ्‍नो धार्मिकतालाई बलियो गरी समाउँछु, र त्‍यसलाई जान दिन्‍नँ । म बाँचुञ्जेलसम्म मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई निन्‍दित पार्नेछैनन् ।
I will say that I am innocent, and never (say anything different/change what I say); my conscience will never reproach me as long as I live.
7 मेरो शत्रु एक जना दुष्‍ट मानिसझैं होस् । जो मेरो विरुद्धमा खडा हुन्‍छ, ऊ एक जना अधर्मी मानिसझैं होस् ।
“I want my enemies to be [punished] like all wicked [people are punished]; I want [God to punish] those who oppose me like [he punishes all] unrighteous [people].
8 किनकि परमेश्‍वरले ईश्‍वरहीन मानिसलाई इन्कार गर्नुहुँदा, परमेश्‍वरले उसको जीवनलाई हटाउनुहुँदा, उसको आशा के हुन्छ र?
When [it is time for] God [to] get rid of godless/wicked people and [to] cause them to die, there is absolutely nothing good [RHQ] that they can confidently expect [to happen to them].
9 उसमाथि सङ्कष्‍ट आइपर्दा, के परमेश्‍वरले उसको पुकारा सुन्‍नुहुन्‍छ र?
When they experience troubles, (will God hear them call [out to him for help]?/God certainly will not hear them call out [to him for help].) [RHQ]
10 के ऊ सर्वशक्तिमान्‌मा आनन्दित हुन्‍छ, अनि उसले हर समयमा परमेश्‍वरलाई पुकारा गर्छ?
(Will they be happy about what Almighty [God] does?/They certainly will not be happy about what Almighty [God] does.) [RHQ] (Will they [begin to] pray to him frequently?/They certainly will not [begin to] pray to him frequently.) [RHQ] [Certainly not!]
11 म तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरको शक्तिको बारेमा सिकाउनेछु । म सर्वशक्तिमान्‌का विचारहरूलाई लुकाउनेछैनँ ।
“I will teach you [three] something about the power [MTY] of Almighty God [MTY]; I will reveal what he is thinking.
12 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंहरू सबैले यो आफैले देख्‍नुभएको छ । तब तपाईंहरूले यी सबै निरर्थक कुरा किन बोल्नुभएको हो त?
But you [three] have seen for yourselves [what God has done]; so (why are you saying such nonsense?/you should not be saying such nonsense.) [RHQ]
13 दुष्‍ट मानिसले परमेश्‍वरबाट पाउने हिस्सा यही हो । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌बाट अत्याचारीले पाउने आफ्‍नो पैतृक-अंश यही हो ।
“[I will tell you] what Almighty God does to wicked people, the things that he does to people who oppress others.
14 उसका छोराछोरीको सङ्‍ख्‍या बढ्‍छन् भने, त्‍यो तरवारको निम्‍तो हो । उसका सन्तानहरूले पेटभरि खान कदापि पाउने छैनन् ।
[Even] if they have many children, [many of] those children will die in wars [MTY], and their [other] children will [die because they do] not have enough food to eat.
15 ऊसँग बाँच्नेहरू विपत्तिद्वारा गाडिनेछन्, अनि तिनीहरूका विधवाहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति विलाप गर्नेछैनन् ।
Their children who are still alive will die from diseases, and their widows will not [even] mourn for them.
16 दुष्‍ट मानिसले धूलोझैं चाँदीको थुप्रो लगाए पनि, र माटोझैं लुगाफाटा थुपारे पनि,
Sometimes [wicked people] accumulate a huge amount [SIM] of silver and pile up clothes like [SIM] those clothes were a pile of clay,
17 उसले ती लुगाफाटा जम्मा त गर्ला, तर धर्मी मानिसहरूले ती लगाउनेछन्, र निर्दोष मानिसहरूले चाँदीचाहिं आफ्‍नो बिचमा बाँड्‍नेछन् ।
but [those wicked people will die, and then] righteous people will wear those clothes, and honest/innocent people will get their silver and divide it [among themselves].
18 माकुरोले झैं, एक जना पहरेदारले बनाउने झुप्रोझैं, उसले आफ्‍नो घर बनाउँछ ।
The houses that they build are [as frail/fragile] as [SIM] spider webs, or they are like flimsy huts that watchmen live in [while they guard people’s fields].
19 ऊ धनी भएर ओछ्यानमा पल्टन्छ, तर उसले त्यसो गरिरहने छैन । उसले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्‍छ, अनि हरेक कुरा सिद्धिएको हुनेछ ।
Wicked people are rich when they lie down [at night], but when they wake up [in the morning, they find out that] their money has disappeared.
20 पानीले झैं त्रासले उसलाई डुबाउनेछ । रातमा एउटा आँधीले उसलाई टाढा पुर्‍याउनेछ ।
“Things that terrify them [PRS] strike them like a flood [SIM]; during the night a whirlwind carries them away.
21 पूर्वीय बतासले उसलाई उडाएर लानेछ, र उसले छोड्‍नेछ । त्‍यसले उसलाई आफ्नो बासस्थानबाट पुर्‍याउनेछ ।
[It is as though] the wind from the east picks them up and carries them away from their homes, and they disappear.
22 उसमाथि त्‍यो हुत्तिन्‍छ, र रोकिन्‍न । त्‍यसको पन्जाबाट ऊ भाग्‍न खोज्‍छ ।
That wind strikes them without pitying them while they are running away, trying to escape from its force/power [MTY].
23 उसको गिल्‍ला गरेर त्‍यसले आफ्‍नो ताली बजाउँछ । त्यसले आफ्नो ठाउँबाट उसको खिसी गर्छ ।
That wind [is like someone] clapping his hands [MET] at them [to ridicule them], howling at them wherever they run to.”
