अय्यूब 4
1 तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered Job.
2 “कसैलाई तपाईंसित कुरा गर्ने प्रयास गर्यो भने के तपाईं अधैर्य बन्नुहुन्छ? तर कसले आफैलाई बोल्नबाट रोक्न सक्छ?
“Could I say a word? I don't want to upset you but who could keep quiet and not respond?
3 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले धेरैलाई शिक्षा दिनुभएको छ । तपाईंले दुर्बल हातहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुभएको छ ।
You've certainly encouraged many people and supported those who are weak.
4 तपाईंका वचनहरूले त्यस्तोलाई सम्हालेको छ जो पतन हुँदै थियो। तपाईंले कमजोर घुँडाहरूलाई दरिलो पार्नुभएको छ ।
Your advice has helped those who are stumbling not to fall, and you have strengthened those whose knees are weak.
5 तर अहिले सङ्कष्ट तपाईंमा आएको छ, र तपाईं थकित हुनुहुन्छ । यसले तपाईंलाई छोएको छ, र तपाईंलाई कष्ट भएको छ ।
But now you're the one suffering and you're upset.
6 के तपाईंको डर तपाईंको निश्चयता, अनि तपाईंका मार्गहरूका सत्यनिष्ठा तपाईंको आशा होइन र?
Wasn't it your reverence for God that gave you confidence and your integrity that gave you hope?
7 कृपा गरी यस विषयमा सोच्नुहोस्: निर्दोष हुँदा पनि कुनै व्यक्ति कहिलै नष्ट भएको छ र? अर्थात् सोझा मानिसहरू कहिले मारिएका थिए र?
Think about it: since when did the innocent die? Since when were good people destroyed?
8 जे मैले देखेको छु त्यसअनुसार, अधर्म जोत्नेहरू र कष्ट छर्नेहरूले नै त्यसको कटनी गर्छन् ।
From what I've seen it's those who plant evil and sow trouble who reap the same!
9 परमेश्वरको सासले तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । उहाँको क्रोधको बिष्फोटले तिनीहरू भस्म हुन्छन् ।
A breath from God destroys them; a blast of his anger wipes them out.
10 सिंहको गर्जन, हिंस्रक सिंहको सोर र जवान सिंहहरूका दाँत— ती भाँचिएका छन् ।
Lions may roar and growl, but their teeth still break.
11 सिकारको अभावले बुढो सिंह नष्ट हुन्छ । सिंहनीका डमरुहरू जताततै छरपष्ट भएका हुन्छन् ।
Even a lion dies from lack of food, and the lioness' cubs are scattered.
12 यति बेला कुनै कुरा गुप्तमा मकहाँ ल्याइयो, र मेरो कानले यसको बारेमा कानेखुसी सुन्यो ।
A word quietly crept up on me; a whisper reached my ear.
13 जब मानिसहरू घोर निद्रामा पर्छन्, तब रातको सपनाहरूद्वारा विचारहरू आए ।
Troubling thoughts came to me in nightmares when you fall into a deep sleep.
14 त्यो रातमा नै थियो जुन बेला ममाथि डर र त्रास आए, र मेरा सबै हड्डी कामे ।
I became terrified and trembled; all my bones were shaking.
15 तब मेरै अनुहारको सामुन्नेबाट एउटा आत्मा गयो, र मेरो शरीरको रौं ठाडो भयो ।
Then a breath brushed my face and gave me goose-pimples.
16 त्यो आत्मा खडा भयो, तर त्यसको दृष्यलाई मैले ठम्याउन सकिनँ । त्यसको स्वरूप मेरा आँखाकै सामु थियो । त्यहाँ मौनता थियो, र मैले यसो भनेको एउटा आवाज सुनें,
Something stopped, but I couldn't see its face. My eyes could only make out a shape. It was totally quiet, and then I heard a voice:
17 “के मरणशील मानिस परमेश्वरभन्दा बढी धर्मी हुन्छ र? के मानिस आफूलाई बनाउनेभन्दा बढी शुद्ध हुन्छ?
‘Can anyone be right before God? Can anyone be pure before their Maker?
18 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले आफ्ना सेवकहरूमाथि भरोसा गर्नुहुन्न भने, उहाँले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई मूर्खताको दोष लगाउनुहुन्छ भने,
If he doesn't even trust his servants, and he says his angels make mistakes,
19 माटोका घरहरूमा बस्नेहरूको बारेमा झन् यो कति साँचो हुन्छ? जसको जग धूलोमा छ, जो कीराभन्दा चाँडै कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिन्छन् ।
how much more does this apply to those who live in these houses made of clay, whose foundations are based on dust, who fall apart like clothing to a moth?
20 बिहान र बेलुकीको बिचमा तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । कसैको जानकारीविना नै तिनीहरू सदाको लागि नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
Alive in the morning, they are dead by evening. They die, unnoticed.
21 के तिनीहरूका पालका डोरीहरू तिनीहरूकै बिचमा तानिएका छैनन् र? तिनीहरू मर्छन् । तिनीहरू बुद्धिविना मर्छन् ।
They are like tent ropes that are pulled up, and they collapse in death. They die without wisdom.’
