< अय्यूब 32 >

1 त्‍यसैले यी तिन जना मानिसले अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिन छाडे किनभने आफ्‍नो दृष्‍टिमा तिनले आफूलाई धर्मी ठहराए ।
And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.
2 त्यसपछि रामको परिवारको बुजी बारकेलका छोरा एलीहूलाई रिस उठ्यो । तिनलाई अय्यूबको विरुद्धमा रिस उठेको थियो, किनकि तिनले परमेश्‍वरभन्दा पनि आफैलाई धर्मी ठहराएका थिए ।
Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.
3 तिन जना मित्रको विरुद्धमा पनि एलीहूलाई रिस उठ्यो किनकि तिनीहरूले अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिन सकेका थिएनन्, र पनि तिनीहरूले अय्यूबलाई दोषी ठहराएका थिए ।
And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.
4 अरू मानिसहरू एलीहूभन्दा उमेरमा पाका भएका हुनाले तिनले अय्यूबसित बोल्‍नलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
5 तापनि यी तिन जना मानिसका मुखमा एलीहूले जवाफ नदेखेपछि तिनलाई रिस उठ्यो ।
And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.
6 तब बुजी बारकेलका छोरा एलीहू बोले र यसो भने, “म जवान छु, र तपाईंहरू निकै पाका हुनुहुन्छ । त्यसैले म चुप लागें, र मेरो विचार तपाईंहरूलाई भन्‍ने आँट गरिनँ ।
And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder, wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.
7 मैले भनें, “बुढा-पाकाले बोल्नुपर्छ । धेरै वर्ष बिताएकाहरूले बुद्धि सिकाउनुपर्छ ।
And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:
8 तर मानिसमा एउटा आत्मा हुन्छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को सासले उसलाई सुझबुझ दिन्छ ।
but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
9 महान् मानिसहरू मात्र बुद्धिमान् हुँदैनन्, न त पाका मानिसहरूले मात्र न्यायलाई बुझ्छन् ।
The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgment.
10 यसैकारण म तपाईंहरूलाई भन्दछु, 'मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । म पनि तपाईंहरूलाई आफ्‍नो ज्ञान भन्‍नेछु ।’
Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
11 हेर्नुहोस्, मैले तपाईंहरूका कुरा सुनें । तपाईंहरूले के भन्‍ने भनी विचार गरिरहँदा मैले तपाईंका बहसहरू सुनें ।
Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried [the matter] with words:
12 वास्तवमा मैले ध्यान दिएर तपाईंहरूका कुरा सुनें, तर तपाईंहरूमध्ये एक जनाले पनि अय्यूबलाई विश्‍वस्त पार्न, अर्थात् तिनको वचनलाई जवाफ दिन सक्‍नुभएन ।
and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,
13 'हामीले बुद्धि भेट्टाएका छौं,' नभन्‍नलाई होसियार हुनुहोस् । अय्यूबलाई परमेश्‍वरले नै हराउनुपर्छ । मानिसले यसो गर्न सक्दैन ।
lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
14 किनकि अय्यूबले आफ्ना वचनहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा बोलेका छैनन् । त्यसैले तपाईंहरूकै जवाफले म तिनलाई जवाफ दिनेछैनँ ।
And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words.
15 यी तिन जना मानिसका बोली बन्‍द भएका छन् । तिनीहरूले फेरि अय्यूबलाई जवाई दिन सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरूसँगत बोल्‍नलाई एउटै शब्द पनि छैन ।
They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.
16 तिनीहरू बोल्‍दैनन्, तिनीहरू चूपचाप खडा छन्, अनि कुनै जवाफ दिंदैनन् भनेर के म पर्खिरहनू?
I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.
17 अहँ, म पनि आफ्‍नो तर्फबाट जवाफ दिनेछु । म पनि तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍नो ज्ञान भन्‍नेछु ।
And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,
18 किनकि मसँग जवाफ धेरै छन् । मभित्र भएको आत्माले मलाई बाध्य पार्छ ।
for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
19 मेरो छाती फुल्‍दै गरेको दाखमद्यझैं भएको छ जसको प्‍वाल छैन । नयाँ मशकझैं यो फुट्नलाई तयार छ ।
And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.
20 म ताजा हुन सकूँ भनेर म बोल्नेछु । म आफ्‍नो ओठ खोल्नेछु, र बोल्नेछु ।
I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
21 म पक्षपात गर्नेछैनँ, न त कुनै मानिसलाई आदरको दर्जा नै दिनेछु ।
For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
22 किनकि त्‍यस्तो दर्जा कसरी दिने हो म जान्‍दिनँ । मैले त्यसो गरें भने, मेरा सृष्‍टिकर्ताले मलाई चाँडै लैजानुहुन्‍छ ।
For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
