अय्यूब 39

1 चट्टानहरूका घोरल कहिले बियाउँछ भनी तँ जान्‍दछस्? हरिणीले बच्‍चा जन्माउँदै गर्दा के तैंले हेर्न सक्छस्?

Have you knowledge of the rock-goats? or do you see the roes giving birth to their young?

2 तिनीहरूले पेटमा पाठा बोक्दा के तैंले तिनीहरूको महिना गन्‍न सक्छस्? तिनीहरूले बच्‍चा जन्माउने समय तँलाई थाहा छ?

Is the number of their months fixed by you? or is the time when they give birth ordered by you?

3 तिनीहरू निहुरिन्छन्, र आफ्ना पाठा पाउँछन्, अनि यसरी तिनीहरूको आफ्नो प्रसव-वेदना सकिन्छ ।

They are bent down, they give birth to their young, they let loose the fruit of their body.

4 तिनीहरूका पाठा बलिया हुन्छन्, र खुला खेतहरूमा हुर्कन्छन् । तिनीहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन्, र फेरि फर्केर आउँदैनन् ।

Their young ones are strong, living in the open country; they go out and do not come back again.

5 वन-गधालाई कसले छाडा छोडेको हो? कुद्‍ने गधाको बन्धन कसले फुकालेको हो,

Who has let the ass of the fields go free? or made loose the bands of the loud-voiced beast?

6 जसको बासस्थान अराबामा, त्यसको घर खारको जग्गामा मैले बनाएको छु ।

To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.

7 सहरको होहल्ला सुनेर त्यसले गिल्ला गर्दै हाँस्‍छ । लखेट्नेले कराएको त्यसले सुन्दैन ।

He makes sport of the noise of the town; the voice of the driver does not come to his ears;

8 डाँडाहरूमा भएका आफ्‍ना खर्कहरूतिर त्‍यो घुम्‍छ । खानलाई त्यहाँ त्यसले हरेक हरियो बिरुवा खोज्‍छ ।

He goes looking for his grass-lands in the mountains, searching out every green thing.

9 वन-गोरुले तेरो सेवा गर्न खुसी हुनेछ र? तेरो डुँडनेर बस्‍न त्यो सन्तुष्‍ट हुनेछ र?

Will the ox of the mountains be your servant? or is his night's resting-place by your food-store?

10 वन-गोरुलाई हलोको सियोमा हिंडाउन तँ डोरीको प्रयोग गर्न सक्छन्? त्यसले तेरो कुरा मानेर उपत्यकाहरूलाई जोत्‍नेछ?

Will he be pulling your plough with cords, turning up the valleys after you?

11 त्यसको बल अत्‍याधिक हुनाले त्यसमा तँ भर पर्छस् र? त्यसले तेरो काम गरोस् भनेर के तैंले आफ्नो काम छाड्नेछस्?

Will you put your faith in him, because his strength is great? will you give the fruit of your work into his care?

12 तेरो अन्‍न घरमा ल्‍याउन, अन्‍लाई तेरो खलामा जम्मा गर्न, के त्यसमाथि तँ भर पर्छस् र?

Will you be looking for him to come back, and get in your seed to the crushing-floor?

13 शुतुरमुर्गका पखेटा हर्षोल्लाससाथ चल्छन्, तर के ती प्रेमका पखेटाहरू र पुच्‍छर हुन् र?

Is the wing of the ostrich feeble, or is it because she has no feathers,

14 किनकि त्यसले भुइँमा आफ्ना फुलहरू छोड्छ, र ती त्‍यसले धूलोमा नै तातो हुन दिन्छ ।

That she puts her eggs on the earth, warming them in the dust,

15 पैतलाले तिनलाई कुल्चन सक्छ वा जङ्गली जनावरले कुल्चिन सक्‍छ भनी त्यसले बिर्सन्छ ।

Without a thought that they may be crushed by the foot, and broken by the beasts of the field?

16 त्यसले आफ्ना बच्‍चाहरूलाई आफ्नो नभएजस्तै गरी निर्दयतापूर्वक व्यवहार गर्छ । त्यसको परिश्रम व्यर्थैमा खेर जान्छ कि भनी त्यो डराउँदैन,

She is cruel to her young ones, as if they were not hers; her work is to no purpose; she has no fear.

17 किनकि परमेश्‍वरले त्यसलाई बुद्धिहीन तुल्याउनुभएको छ, र त्यसलाई कुनै समझशक्ति दिनुभएको छैन ।

For God has taken wisdom from her mind, and given her no measure of knowledge.

18 जब त्यो तीव्र गतिमा दोडन्‍छ, त्यसले घोडा र त्यसमा सवार हुनेलाई गिल्ला गर्छ ।

When she is shaking her wings on high, she makes sport of the horse and of him who is seated on him.

19 घोडालाई त्यसको शक्ति तैंले दिएको हो? त्यसको गर्दनमा जगरले पहिराएको तैंले हो?

Do you give strength to the horse? is it by your hand that his neck is clothed with power?

20 त्यसलाई तैंले कहिल्यै सलहले झैं उफ्रन लगाएको छस्? त्यसको चर्को हिनहिनाइ डरलाग्दो हुन्‍छ ।

Is it through you that he is shaking like a locust, in the pride of his loud-sounding breath?

21 त्यसले शक्तिमा टाप बजाउँछ, र आफ्नो ताकतमा आनन्द मनाउँछ । हतियारको सामना गर्न त्यो जाइलाग्छ ।

He is stamping with joy in the valley; he makes sport of fear.

22 त्यसले डरको खिल्ली उडाउँछ, र हतोत्साही हुँदैन । तरवार देखेर त्यो फर्केर भाग्‍दैन ।

In his strength he goes out against the arms of war, turning not away from the sword.

23 काँडको ठोक्रो त्यसको छेउमा धर्ररर बज्छ, अनि त्यहाँ भाला र तरवार चम्कन्छ ।

The bow is sounding against him; he sees the shining point of spear and arrow.

24 क्रोध र रिसले त्यसले जमिनलाई निलिदिन्छ । तुरहीको आवाजले गर्दा त्यो एक ठाउँमा खडा हुन सक्दैन ।

Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn;

25 जब तुरही बजेको सुनिन्‍छ, तब त्यसले भन्छ, 'आहा!' कमान्‍डरहरूका गर्जने आवाज र होहल्‍लाले, त्यसले टाढैबाट युद्धको गन्ध थाहा पाउँछ ।

When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries.

26 के तेरो बुद्धिद्वारा बाज माथि-माथि उड्ने हो र दक्षिणतिर त्यसले आफ्नो पखेटा फिंजाउने हो?

Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south?

27 के तेरो आज्ञामा गिद्ध माथि-माथि उड्ने हो र अग्ला ठाउँहरूमा आफ्ना गुँडहरू बनाउने हो?

Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high?

28 त्यो पहरामा बस्छ र पहराकै टाकुरामा त्यसले आफ्नो घर बनाउँछ जुन किल्‍लाझैं हुन्छ ।

On the rock is his house, and on the mountain-top his strong place.

29 त्यहाँबाट त्यसले सिकारहरूको खोजी गर्छ । त्यसका आँखाले धेरै टाढाबाट तिनलाई देख्छन् ।

From there he is watching for food; his eye sees it far off.

30 त्यसका बचेराहरूले पनि रगत पिउँछन् । जहाँ लाश हुन्छ, त्यहाँ त्यो हुन्छ ।”

His young have blood for their drink, and where the dead bodies are, there is he to be seen.
