इयोब 33

1 त्यसैले अब, हे अय्यूब, मेरो कुरा सुन्‍न म तपाईंसित बिन्ती गर्छु, मेरा सबै शब्‍दहरू सुन्‍नुहोस् ।

“And yet, please, O Job, Hear my speech and give ear [to] all my words.

2 हेर्नुहोस्, अब मैले आफ्‍नो मुख खोलेको छु । मेरो जिब्रोले मेरो मुखमा बोलेको छ ।

Now behold, I have opened my mouth, My tongue has spoken in the palate.

3 मेरा वचनहरू मेरो हृदयको सोझोपनबाट आउँछन् । मेरो ओठले शुद्ध ज्ञान बोल्‍छ ।

Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And my lips have clearly spoken knowledge.

4 परमेश्‍वरका पवित्र आत्माले मलाई बनाउनुभएको छ । सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को सासले मलाई जीवन दिएको छ ।

The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Mighty quickens me.

5 तपाईं सक्‍नुहुन्छ भने मलाई जवाफ दिनुहोस् । आफ्‍ना बहसहरू मेरो सामु क्रमैसित राख्‍नुहोस्, र खडा हुनुहोस् ।

If you are able—answer me, Set in array before me—station yourself.

6 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा तपाईं जस्तो हुनुहुन्‍छ म पनि त्‍यस्‍तै हुँ । म पनि माटैबाट रचना गरिएको हुँ ।

Behold, I [am], according to your word, for God, I have also been formed from the clay.

7 हेर्नुहोस्, मेरो डरले तपाईंलाई त्रसित नपारोस्, न त मेरो बोझ तपाईंलाई गह्रौं होस् ।

Behold, my terror does not frighten you, And my burden on you is not heavy.

8 तपाईंले निश्‍चय पनि मैले सुन्‍ने गरी बोल्नुभएको छ । तपाईंका वचनहरूका आवाजले यसो भनेको मैले सुनेको छु,

Surely you have spoken in my ears, And the sounds of words I hear:

9 'म शुद्ध र अपराधरहित छु । म निर्दोष छु, र ममा कुनै पाप छैन ।

I [am] pure, without transgression, I [am] innocent, and I have no iniquity.

10 परमेश्‍वरले मलाई आक्रमण गर्ने मौकाहरू खोज्‍नुहुन्‍छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो शत्रु ठान्‍नुहुन्छ ।

Behold, He develops hindrances against me, He reckons me for an enemy to Him,

11 उहाँले मेरो खुट्टा ठिंगुरोमा हाल्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले मेरा सबै मार्ग नियालेर हेर्नुहुन्छ ।'

He puts my feet in the stocks, He watches all my paths.

12 हेर्नुहोस्, यो कुरोमा तपाईं ठिक हुनुहुन्‍न— म तपाईंलाई जवाफ दिन्छु, किनकि परमेश्‍वर मानिसभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ ।

Behold, you have not been righteous [in] this, I answer you, that God is greater than man.

13 उहाँको विरुद्धमा तपाईं किन सङ्घर्ष गर्नुहुन्छ? उहाँले त आफ्ना कुनै पनि कामको लेखा दिनुपर्दैन ।

Why have you striven against Him, When [for] all His matters He does not answer?

14 परमेश्‍वरले एक पटक, दुई पटक बोल्नुहुन्छ, तापनि मानिसले त्‍यसको ख्याल गर्दैन ।

For once God speaks, and twice (he does not behold it),

15 राती सपनामा, दर्शनमा, मानिसहरू मस्त निद्रामा पर्दा, ओछ्यानमा सुतेको समयमा,

In a dream—a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.

16 तब परमेश्‍वरले मानिसहरूका कान खोल्‍नुहुन्छ, र तिनीहरूलाई चेतावनीहरूले तर्साउनुहुन्छ,

Then He uncovers the ear of men, And seals for their instruction,

17 मानिसका पापी उद्देश्यहरूबाट उसलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनलाई, र अहङ्कारलाई ऊबाट टाढा राख्‍नलाई ।

To turn aside man [from] doing, And He conceals pride from man.

18 परमेश्‍वरले मानिसको जीवनलाई खाडल पर्नबाट, उसको जीवनलाई मृत्युमा जानबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।

He keeps back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.

19 मानिसलाई ओछ्यानमा हुने पीडा, उसका हड्‍डीहरूमा निरन्तर हुने वेदनाद्वारा पनि उसलाई दण्ड दिइन्छ,

And he has been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones [is] enduring.

20 जसको कारणले उसको जीवनले खानेकुरालाई घृणा गर्छ, र उसको प्राणले मिठो भोजनलाई घृणा गर्छ ।

And his life has nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.

21 उसको शरीरको मासु नदेखियोस् भनेर त्यो नष्‍ट भएको हुन्छ । पहिले नदेखिने उसका हाडहरू लौरोझैं देखिन्छन् ।

His flesh is consumed from being seen, And his bones are high, they were not seen!

22 वास्तवमा उसको प्राण मृत्‍युको खाडल नजिक, उसको जीवन उसलाई नष्‍ट गर्न चाहनेहरूकहाँ पुग्छ ।

And his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to those causing death.

23 तर के गर्नु ठिक हुन्‍छ भनेर उसलाई देखाउन, उसको निम्‍ति मध्‍यस्‍थकर्ता हुनलाई एउटा स्‍वर्गदूत छन्, हजारौँ स्वर्गदूतहरूका बिचबाट एउटा यस्तो मध्यस्थकर्ता छन्,

If there is a messenger by him, An interpreter—one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness,

24 र त्यो स्वर्गदूत ऊप्रति दयालु हुन्‍छन् र परमेश्‍वरलाई यसो भन्‍छन् भने, 'य स व्यक्तिलाई मृत्‍युको खाडल जानबाट बचाउनुहोस् । उसलाई छुटकारा दिने मोल म तिर्नेछु,'

Then He favors him and says, Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.

25 तब उसको मासु बच्‍चाको भन्दा कलिलो हुन्छ । उसले फेरि आफ्नो युवावस्थाको ताकत पाउनेछ ।

Fresher [is] his flesh than a child’s, He returns to the days of his youth.

26 उसले परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रार्थना चढाउनेछ, र परमेश्‍वर ऊप्रति दयालु बन्‍नुहुनेछ, ताकि उसले आनन्दले परमेश्‍वरको मुहार हेर्छ । परमेश्‍वरले त्यो व्यक्तिलाई विजय दिनुहुन्‍छ ।

He makes supplication to God, And He accepts him. And he sees His face with shouting, And He returns to man His righteousness.

27 तब त्यो व्यक्तिले अरू मानिसहरूको सामु गाउनेछ र यसो भन्‍नेछ, 'मैले पाप गरें, र ठिक कुरालाई बङ्ग्याएँ, तर मेरो पापको दण्ड दिइएन ।

[Then] he looks on men and says, I sinned, and I have perverted uprightness, And it has not been profitable to me.

28 परमेश्‍वरले मेरो प्राणलाई मृत्‍युको खाडलमा जानबाट छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ । मेरो जीवनले निरन्‍तर ज्योति देख्‍नेछ ।'

He has ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life looks on the light.

29 परमेश्‍वरले एक जना व्यक्तिसित यी सबै कुरा, दुई पटक वा तिन पटक पनि गर्नुहुन्छ,

Behold, God works all these, Twice, [even] three times with man,

30 उसको प्राणलाई मृत्‍युको खाडलबाट फर्काउनलाई, जसले गर्दा जीवनको ज्योतिले उसले आफूलाई चम्काउन सकोस् ।

To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.

31 हे अय्यूब, ध्यान दिनुहोस्, र मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । चुप लाग्‍नुहोस्, र म बोल्नेछु ।

Attend, O Job, listen to me, Keep silent, and I speak.

32 तपाईंसित भन्‍नुपर्ने कुनै कुरा छ भने मलाई जवाफ दिनुहोस् । बोल्नुहोस्, किनकि तपाईं ठिक हुनुहुन्छ भनी म प्रमाणित गर्न चाहान्‍छु ।

If there are words—answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify you.

33 होइन भने, मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । चुप लाग्‍नुहोस्, र म तपाईंलाई बुद्धिका कुरा सिकाउनेछु ।”

If there are not—listen to me, Keep silent, and I teach you wisdom.”
