अय्यूब 29
1 अय्यूब फेरि बोल्न सुरु गरे र यसो भने,
So Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
2 “ओहो, जस्तो म विगतका महिनाहरू थिएँ त्यस्तै म भए त, जति बेला परमेश्वरले मेरो वास्ता गर्नुहुन्थ्यो,
Oh that I were as in times past, when God preserued me!
3 जति बेला उहाँको बत्ती मेरो शिरमाथि बल्थ्यो, र जति बेला उहाँको ज्योतिद्वारा म अन्धकारमा हिंड्थें ।
When his light shined vpon mine head: and when by his light I walked thorowe the darkenesse,
4 ओहो, जस्तो मेरा खुशीका दिनहरूमा म थिएँ त्यस्तै म भए त, जति बेला परमेश्वरको मित्रता मेरो पालमाथि हुन्थ्यो,
As I was in the dayes of my youth: when Gods prouidence was vpon my tabernacle:
5 जति बेला सर्वशक्तिमान् मसितै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र मेरा छोराछोरा मेरो वरिपरि हुन्थे,
When the almightie was yet with me, and my children round about me.
6 जति बेला मेरो बाटो दूधले ढाकिन्थ्यो, र चट्टानले मेरो लागि तेलको खोला बगाउँथ्यो!
When I washed my pathes with butter, and when the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle:
7 जति बेला म सहरको मूल ढोकाबाट बाहिर निस्कन्थें, जति बेला सहरको चोकमा भएको मेरो शासनमा म बस्थें,
When I went out to the gate, euen to the iudgement seat, and when I caused them to prepare my seate in the streete.
8 जवान मानिसहरूले मलाई देखे र मेरो आदर गरेर तिनीहरू टाढै बस्थे, अनि पाका मानिसहरू मेरो निम्ति खडा हुन्थे र उभिन्थे ।
The yong men saw me, and hid themselues, and the aged arose, and stood vp.
9 जब म आउँथें, तब राजकुमारहरूको बोली नै बन्द हुन्थ्यो । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हातले मुख छोप्थे ।
The princes stayed talke, and layde their hand on their mouth.
10 कुलीनहरूका आवाजहरू बन्द हुन्थ्यो, अनि तिनीहरूको जिब्रो तिनीहरूकै तालुमा टाँसिन्थ्यो ।
The voyce of princes was hidde, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.
11 किनकि तिनीहरूका कानले सुन्थे, र मलाई आशिष् दिन्थे । तिनीहरूका आँखाले मलाई देखेपछि तिनीहरूले मेरो साक्षी दिन्थे, र मलाई स्याबासी दिन्थे,
And when the eare heard me, it blessed me: and when the eye sawe me, it gaue witnesse to me.
12 किनकि गरिब मानिसले पुकारा गर्दा मैले उसलाई छुटाउँथेँ, र अनाथलाई मदत गर्ने कोही नहुँदा मैले उसको हेरचाह गर्थें ।
For I deliuered the poore that cryed, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.
13 मर्न लागेको मानिसले मलाई आशिष् दिन्थ्यो । विधवाको हृदय आनन्दले गाउने मैले बनाइदिन्थेँ ।
The blessing of him that was ready to perish, came vpon me, and I caused the widowes heart to reioyce.
14 मैले धार्मिकता पहिरिन्थेँ, र यसलाई मलाई ढाक्थ्यो । मेरो इन्साफ पोशाक र फेटाझैं हुन्थ्यो ।
I put on iustice, and it couered me: my iudgement was as a robe, and a crowne.
15 दृष्टिविहीन मानिसको लागि म आँखा भएँ । लङ्गडोको लागि म खुट्टा भएँ ।
I was the eyes to the blinde, and I was the feete to the lame.
16 खाँचोमा परेको मानिसको लागि म पिता भएँ । मैले नचिनेको मानिसको मुद्दाको पनि म जाँच गरिदिन्थेँ ।
I was a father vnto the poore, and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.
17 मैले अधर्मी मानिसको बङ्गारा झारिदिएँ । मैले त्यसको दाँतको बिचबाट सिकारलाई बाहिर निकालें ।
I brake also the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckt the praye out of his teeth.
18 तब मैले भनें, 'म आफ्नै गुँडमा मर्नेछु । म आफ्ना दिनलाई बालुवाका कणजत्तिकै वृद्धि गराउनेछु ।
Then I sayde, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.
19 मेरा जराहरू पानीमा फैलिएका छन्, र मेरा हाँगाहरूमा रातभरि शीत पर्छ ।
For my roote is spread out by the water, and the dewe shall lye vpon my branche.
20 ममा भएको आदर सधैं ताजा रहन्छ, र मेरो शक्तिको धनु सधैं मेरो हातमा सधैं नयाँ हुन्छ ।'
My glory shall renue towarde me, and my bowe shall be restored in mine hand.
21 मानिसहरूले मेरा कुरा सुन्थे । तिनीहरूले मेरो प्रतीक्षा गर्थे । मेरो सल्लाह सुन्न तिनीहरू चुप लागेर बस्थे ।
Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell.
22 मेरा वचनहरू सकिएपछि तिनीहरूले फेरि बोल्दैनथ्ये । मेरो बोली तिनीहरूमा पानीको थोपाझैं खस्थ्यो ।
After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them.
23 तिनीहरूले वृष्टिको प्रतीक्षा गरेझैं सधैँ तिनीहरूले मेरो प्रतीक्षा गर्थे । तिनीहरूले बसन्त ऋतुको झरीलाई गरेझैं, मेरा वचनहरू पिउनलाई आफ्ना मुख खुला गर्थे ।
And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne.
24 तिनीहरूले आशा नगर्दा पनि म तिनीहरूमा मुस्कुराउँथें । तिनीहरूले मेरो अनुहारको ज्योतिलाई इन्कार गर्दैनथे ।
If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.
25 मैले तिनीहरूका मार्ग चुन्थेँ, र तिनीहरूका प्रमुख अतिथि हुन्थें । राजा आफ्ना सेनाको बिचमा बसेझैं, शोक गर्नेहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिने मानिसझैं म बस्थें ।
I appoynted out their way, and did sit as chiefe, and dwelt as a King in the army, and like him that comforteth the mourners.
