< अय्यूब 32 >

1 त्‍यसैले यी तिन जना मानिसले अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिन छाडे किनभने आफ्‍नो दृष्‍टिमा तिनले आफूलाई धर्मी ठहराए ।
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
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 was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he accounted himself righteous rather than God.
3 तिन जना मित्रको विरुद्धमा पनि एलीहूलाई रिस उठ्यो किनकि तिनीहरूले अय्यूबलाई जवाफ दिन सकेका थिएनन्, र पनि तिनीहरूले अय्यूबलाई दोषी ठहराएका थिए ।
Against his three friends also was his wrath kindled, because they had not found an answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 अरू मानिसहरू एलीहूभन्दा उमेरमा पाका भएका हुनाले तिनले अय्यूबसित बोल्‍नलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
Now Elihu had delayed to reply to Job, because they were older than himself.
5 तापनि यी तिन जना मानिसका मुखमा एलीहूले जवाफ नदेखेपछि तिनलाई रिस उठ्यो ।
But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
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 ।
Then spake Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, and said: I am young, and ye are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And durst not make known to you my opinion.
7 मैले भनें, “बुढा-पाकाले बोल्नुपर्छ । धेरै वर्ष बिताएकाहरूले बुद्धि सिकाउनुपर्छ ।
I said, “Days should speak, And the multitude of years should teach wisdom.”
8 तर मानिसमा एउटा आत्मा हुन्छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को सासले उसलाई सुझबुझ दिन्छ ।
But it is the spirit in man, Even the inspiration of the Almighty, that giveth him understanding.
9 महान् मानिसहरू मात्र बुद्धिमान् हुँदैनन्, न त पाका मानिसहरूले मात्र न्यायलाई बुझ्छन् ।
Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand what is right.
10 यसैकारण म तपाईंहरूलाई भन्दछु, 'मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । म पनि तपाईंहरूलाई आफ्‍नो ज्ञान भन्‍नेछु ।’
Therefore, I pray, listen to me: I also will declare my opinion.
11 हेर्नुहोस्, मैले तपाईंहरूका कुरा सुनें । तपाईंहरूले के भन्‍ने भनी विचार गरिरहँदा मैले तपाईंका बहसहरू सुनें ।
Behold, I have waited for your words, I have listened to your arguments, Whilst ye searched out what to say;
12 वास्तवमा मैले ध्यान दिएर तपाईंहरूका कुरा सुनें, तर तपाईंहरूमध्ये एक जनाले पनि अय्यूबलाई विश्‍वस्त पार्न, अर्थात् तिनको वचनलाई जवाफ दिन सक्‍नुभएन ।
Yea, I have attended to you; And behold, none of you hath refuted Job, Nor answered his words.
13 'हामीले बुद्धि भेट्टाएका छौं,' नभन्‍नलाई होसियार हुनुहोस् । अय्यूबलाई परमेश्‍वरले नै हराउनुपर्छ । मानिसले यसो गर्न सक्दैन ।
Say not, then, “We have found out wisdom; God must conquer him, not man.”
14 किनकि अय्यूबले आफ्ना वचनहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा बोलेका छैनन् । त्यसैले तपाईंहरूकै जवाफले म तिनलाई जवाफ दिनेछैनँ ।
He hath not directed his discourse against me, And with speeches like yours will I not answer him.
15 यी तिन जना मानिसका बोली बन्‍द भएका छन् । तिनीहरूले फेरि अय्यूबलाई जवाई दिन सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरूसँगत बोल्‍नलाई एउटै शब्द पनि छैन ।
They were confounded! they answered no more! They could say nothing!
16 तिनीहरू बोल्‍दैनन्, तिनीहरू चूपचाप खडा छन्, अनि कुनै जवाफ दिंदैनन् भनेर के म पर्खिरहनू?
I waited, but they spake not; They stood still; they answered no more!
17 अहँ, म पनि आफ्‍नो तर्फबाट जवाफ दिनेछु । म पनि तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍नो ज्ञान भन्‍नेछु ।
Therefore will I answer, on my part; I also will show my opinion.
18 किनकि मसँग जवाफ धेरै छन् । मभित्र भएको आत्माले मलाई बाध्य पार्छ ।
For I am full of matter; The spirit within me constraineth me.
19 मेरो छाती फुल्‍दै गरेको दाखमद्यझैं भएको छ जसको प्‍वाल छैन । नयाँ मशकझैं यो फुट्नलाई तयार छ ।
Behold, my bosom is as wine that hath no vent; Like bottles of new wine, which are bursting.
20 म ताजा हुन सकूँ भनेर म बोल्नेछु । म आफ्‍नो ओठ खोल्नेछु, र बोल्नेछु ।
I will speak, that I may be relieved; I will open my lips and answer.
21 म पक्षपात गर्नेछैनँ, न त कुनै मानिसलाई आदरको दर्जा नै दिनेछु ।
I will not be partial to any man's person, Nor will I flatter any man.
22 किनकि त्‍यस्तो दर्जा कसरी दिने हो म जान्‍दिनँ । मैले त्यसो गरें भने, मेरा सृष्‍टिकर्ताले मलाई चाँडै लैजानुहुन्‍छ ।
For I know not how to flatter; Soon would my Maker take me away.
