अय्यूब 4
1 तब एलीपज तेमानीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
Then Eliphaz, from Teman, replied to Job. He said,
2 “कसैलाई तपाईंसित कुरा गर्ने प्रयास गर्यो भने के तपाईं अधैर्य बन्नुहुन्छ? तर कसले आफैलाई बोल्नबाट रोक्न सक्छ?
“Will you please let me say something to you? I am not [RHQ] able to remain silent [any longer].
3 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले धेरैलाई शिक्षा दिनुभएको छ । तपाईंले दुर्बल हातहरूलाई बलियो पार्नुभएको छ ।
In the past, you have instructed/taught many people, and you have encouraged those who were weak.
4 तपाईंका वचनहरूले त्यस्तोलाई सम्हालेको छ जो पतन हुँदै थियो। तपाईंले कमजोर घुँडाहरूलाई दरिलो पार्नुभएको छ ।
By what you said, you have helped those who (needed spiritual help/almost quit trusting in God) [MET], and you have enabled them to become spiritually strong again [MET].
5 तर अहिले सङ्कष्ट तपाईंमा आएको छ, र तपाईं थकित हुनुहुन्छ । यसले तपाईंलाई छोएको छ, र तपाईंलाई कष्ट भएको छ ।
But now, when you experience disasters, you become discouraged. The disasters hit you, and you are stunned.
6 के तपाईंको डर तपाईंको निश्चयता, अनि तपाईंका मार्गहरूका सत्यनिष्ठा तपाईंको आशा होइन र?
You revere God; (does that not cause you to trust [in him]?/that should cause you to trust [in him].) [RHQ] If you were guiltless, you would [RHQ] be confident that [God] would not [have allowed] these disasters [to] happen to you!
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 this: Do innocent people die [while they are still young] [RHQ]? Does God get rid of godly people [RHQ]? [No!]
8 जे मैले देखेको छु त्यसअनुसार, अधर्म जोत्नेहरू र कष्ट छर्नेहरूले नै त्यसको कटनी गर्छन् ।
What I have experienced is this: [Just as] [MET] farmers who plant bad [seeds] do not harvest good [crops], [just as those who start] trouble for others, later bring trouble on themselves.
9 परमेश्वरको सासले तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । उहाँको क्रोधको बिष्फोटले तिनीहरू भस्म हुन्छन् ।
They die when God angrily blows his breath on them, when he is very angry with them.
10 सिंहको गर्जन, हिंस्रक सिंहको सोर र जवान सिंहहरूका दाँत— ती भाँचिएका छन् ।
[Even though wicked people may be very powerful like] young lions, [God] will get rid of them [MET].
11 सिकारको अभावले बुढो सिंह नष्ट हुन्छ । सिंहनीका डमरुहरू जताततै छरपष्ट भएका हुन्छन् ।
[They will die like] fierce lions [that] starve to death when there are no animals that they can kill and eat, and [their children will be separated from each other like] young lions separate from each other [to find food].”
12 यति बेला कुनै कुरा गुप्तमा मकहाँ ल्याइयो, र मेरो कानले यसको बारेमा कानेखुसी सुन्यो ।
“I heard a message that someone came and whispered to me.
13 जब मानिसहरू घोर निद्रामा पर्छन्, तब रातको सपनाहरूद्वारा विचारहरू आए ।
He spoke to me at night when I was having a bad dream that disturbed/frightened me while I was fast asleep.
14 त्यो रातमा नै थियो जुन बेला ममाथि डर र त्रास आए, र मेरा सबै हड्डी कामे ।
It caused me to be afraid and tremble; it caused all my bones to shake.
15 तब मेरै अनुहारको सामुन्नेबाट एउटा आत्मा गयो, र मेरो शरीरको रौं ठाडो भयो ।
A ghost glided past my face and caused the hair on [on the back of] my neck to stand straight up.
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,
It stopped, but I could not see what form it had. But [I could sense that] there was some being in front of me, and it said in a quiet voice,
17 “के मरणशील मानिस परमेश्वरभन्दा बढी धर्मी हुन्छ र? के मानिस आफूलाई बनाउनेभन्दा बढी शुद्ध हुन्छ?
‘(Does God consider anyone to be righteous?/No human beings can be righteous in God’s sight!) [RHQ] (Their creator cannot consider them to be pure./Can their creator consider them to be pure?) [RHQ]
18 हेर्नुहोस्, परमेश्वरले आफ्ना सेवकहरूमाथि भरोसा गर्नुहुन्न भने, उहाँले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई मूर्खताको दोष लगाउनुहुन्छ भने,
God cannot be sure that his own angels [will always do what is right]; he declares that some of them have done what is wrong.
19 माटोका घरहरूमा बस्नेहरूको बारेमा झन् यो कति साँचो हुन्छ? जसको जग धूलोमा छ, जो कीराभन्दा चाँडै कुल्चिमिल्ची पारिन्छन् ।
So he certainly cannot trust human beings who were made from dust and clay, who are crushed as easily as moths are crushed!
20 बिहान र बेलुकीको बिचमा तिनीहरू नष्ट हुन्छन् । कसैको जानकारीविना नै तिनीहरू सदाको लागि नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
People are sometimes well in the morning, but in the evening they are dead. They are gone forever and do not even know it (OR, and no one pays any attention to it).
21 के तिनीहरूका पालका डोरीहरू तिनीहरूकै बिचमा तानिएका छैनन् र? तिनीहरू मर्छन् । तिनीहरू बुद्धिविना मर्छन् ।
They are like [MET] tents that collapse [suddenly]: They die [suddenly] before they become wise.’”
