1 त्यसैले अब, हे अय्यूब, मेरो कुरा सुन्‍न म तपाईंसित बिन्ती गर्छु, मेरा सबै शब्‍दहरू सुन्‍नुहोस् ।
“However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2 हेर्नुहोस्, अब मैले आफ्‍नो मुख खोलेको छु । मेरो जिब्रोले मेरो मुखमा बोलेको छ ।
See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 मेरा वचनहरू मेरो हृदयको सोझोपनबाट आउँछन् । मेरो ओठले शुद्ध ज्ञान बोल्‍छ ।
My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
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 Almighty gives me life.
5 तपाईं सक्‍नुहुन्छ भने मलाई जवाफ दिनुहोस् । आफ्‍ना बहसहरू मेरो सामु क्रमैसित राख्‍नुहोस्, र खडा हुनुहोस् ।
If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा तपाईं जस्तो हुनुहुन्‍छ म पनि त्‍यस्‍तै हुँ । म पनि माटैबाट रचना गरिएको हुँ ।
Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7 हेर्नुहोस्, मेरो डरले तपाईंलाई त्रसित नपारोस्, न त मेरो बोझ तपाईंलाई गह्रौं होस् ।
Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 तपाईंले निश्‍चय पनि मैले सुन्‍ने गरी बोल्नुभएको छ । तपाईंका वचनहरूका आवाजले यसो भनेको मैले सुनेको छु,
“Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 'म शुद्ध र अपराधरहित छु । म निर्दोष छु, र ममा कुनै पाप छैन ।
‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 परमेश्‍वरले मलाई आक्रमण गर्ने मौकाहरू खोज्‍नुहुन्‍छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो शत्रु ठान्‍नुहुन्छ ।
Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11 उहाँले मेरो खुट्टा ठिंगुरोमा हाल्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले मेरा सबै मार्ग नियालेर हेर्नुहुन्छ ।'
He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12 हेर्नुहोस्, यो कुरोमा तपाईं ठिक हुनुहुन्‍न— म तपाईंलाई जवाफ दिन्छु, किनकि परमेश्‍वर मानिसभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ ।
“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13 उहाँको विरुद्धमा तपाईं किन सङ्घर्ष गर्नुहुन्छ? उहाँले त आफ्ना कुनै पनि कामको लेखा दिनुपर्दैन ।
Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14 परमेश्‍वरले एक पटक, दुई पटक बोल्नुहुन्छ, तापनि मानिसले त्‍यसको ख्याल गर्दैन ।
For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 राती सपनामा, दर्शनमा, मानिसहरू मस्त निद्रामा पर्दा, ओछ्यानमा सुतेको समयमा,
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16 तब परमेश्‍वरले मानिसहरूका कान खोल्‍नुहुन्छ, र तिनीहरूलाई चेतावनीहरूले तर्साउनुहुन्छ,
then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 मानिसका पापी उद्देश्यहरूबाट उसलाई फर्काएर ल्याउनलाई, र अहङ्कारलाई ऊबाट टाढा राख्‍नलाई ।
that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 परमेश्‍वरले मानिसको जीवनलाई खाडल पर्नबाट, उसको जीवनलाई मृत्युमा जानबाट बचाउनुहुन्छ ।
He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 मानिसलाई ओछ्यानमा हुने पीडा, उसका हड्‍डीहरूमा निरन्तर हुने वेदनाद्वारा पनि उसलाई दण्ड दिइन्छ,
“He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20 जसको कारणले उसको जीवनले खानेकुरालाई घृणा गर्छ, र उसको प्राणले मिठो भोजनलाई घृणा गर्छ ।
so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21 उसको शरीरको मासु नदेखियोस् भनेर त्यो नष्‍ट भएको हुन्छ । पहिले नदेखिने उसका हाडहरू लौरोझैं देखिन्छन् ।
His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 वास्तवमा उसको प्राण मृत्‍युको खाडल नजिक, उसको जीवन उसलाई नष्‍ट गर्न चाहनेहरूकहाँ पुग्छ ।
Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
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 beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
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 God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25 तब उसको मासु बच्‍चाको भन्दा कलिलो हुन्छ । उसले फेरि आफ्नो युवावस्थाको ताकत पाउनेछ ।
His flesh will be fresher 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 prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores 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 ।
He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28 परमेश्‍वरले मेरो प्राणलाई मृत्‍युको खाडलमा जानबाट छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ । मेरो जीवनले निरन्‍तर ज्योति देख्‍नेछ ।'
He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29 परमेश्‍वरले एक जना व्यक्तिसित यी सबै कुरा, दुई पटक वा तिन पटक पनि गर्नुहुन्छ,
“Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 उसको प्राणलाई मृत्‍युको खाडलबाट फर्काउनलाई, जसले गर्दा जीवनको ज्योतिले उसले आफूलाई चम्काउन सकोस् ।
to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 हे अय्यूब, ध्यान दिनुहोस्, र मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । चुप लाग्‍नुहोस्, र म बोल्नेछु ।
Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 तपाईंसित भन्‍नुपर्ने कुनै कुरा छ भने मलाई जवाफ दिनुहोस् । बोल्नुहोस्, किनकि तपाईं ठिक हुनुहुन्छ भनी म प्रमाणित गर्न चाहान्‍छु ।
If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 होइन भने, मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुहोस् । चुप लाग्‍नुहोस्, र म तपाईंलाई बुद्धिका कुरा सिकाउनेछु ।”
If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
